Prologue
"How do you know she's out here? I mean shit. This is actually the middle of no where," Sherry called over the constant hum of the helicopter. She looked over to Leon, who pushed his blond hair out of his eyes. He changed a lot since Allie was taken. It wasn't just physically either. Sorrow and hatred fought relentlessly in his cold blue eyes. She hadn't seen her guardian happy in years. Not since Allie. She shook her head, whispering the name. Leon looked up, a pained expression on his face. Sherry gave him a small apologetic smile.
"We'll find her. We have to," Leon said sternly. He looked out at the dark sands they flew over and smirked. "And don't curse. She'll kill me if she finds out I let you do that."
"I'm eighteen, Leon. I should be allowed to curse by now. I don't think she'll mind. She's always cursing anyway." She watched Leon's smile widen, obviously thinking about her. He was always thinking about her. It's been six years and he still loves her with every thing he's got. As far as the world is concerned, she's dead but he won't give up. He refuses. But...he's right. She is still out there. She's just waiting for us to find her. "We're coming, Sis," she whispered. Sherry glanced over to see Leon close his eyes and lean back into his seat. There he goes again. Reliving the time we had with her.
Chapter One: Memories...
Allie jumped when Leon greeted her in the kitchen. Said she hadn't heard him coming. He smiled a carefree smile and grabbed a paper towel, helping her to clean the spilled soda. He tossed it to the trash and sat down beside her. "You missed," she commented with a shy smile.
"Stimulating the economy. I didn't miss," he had said. Leaning on the table, Leon asked, "So how's the day going?" Allie groaned in reply. "That bad, huh?"
"Well, I've got shit loads of paper work to finish and file, I was two hours late, and it's raining. I think the day's going pretty damn well," she said sarcastically. She looked at her watch and sighed. "I have to go. I'm gonna be late picking up Sherry."
"Sister?"
"Yeah, she's twelve." She paused. "I really have to go. Don't want to keep her waiting when she gets off school." Allie stood and slipped on her jacket.
"It's only two though. Doesn't school end at two thirty or three or something? The school can't be that far," Leon said, standing.
Allie winked her green eye. "It does get off at two thirty," she answered, leaving the kitchen, swinging those hips. Like any guy would, he followed her out. "It's not far if you have a car or even an umbrella for that matter. But since I don't have either I'm, for lack of a better word, screwed." She gave him a small smile as they hurried down the stairs.
"I could give you a lift. I just finished so it isn't a big deal or anything."
"Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks," she said as he held the door for her. "What is that you do anyway? You're not wearing a uniform..."
He laughed. "I don't work here yet, just an intern. I'm not through with the academy for another two months. " Allie nodded knowingly before they walked down the dim flickering hall she hated so much. She shivered and Leon smiled. "You really don't like this hall, huh?" They went past the door labeled morgue and she moved closer to him. He put his arm around her shoulders in mock protection.
"I guess I've just played too many video games," she smiled up at him. He opened the last door for her and she pressed her small body against him. Leon breathed her light apple scent, holding her a little tighter.-
-Sherry watched him take a deep breath. She knew. He did it constantly. I don't see why he never just bought a bottle of apple shampoo. Would make a lot more sense. Wonder what he's playing in that head of his this time... Leon's hands twitched into a driving position causing one of Sherry's brows to rise. His mouth flicked into a smile and she nodded. -
He smiled to himself as he waited for Allie and Sherry. He hadn't met the twelve year old yet, didn't know how much she and her sister would change his life. Hell, the only thing running through his mind was Allie's laugh. The sound replayed over and over in his mind as he waited. Wrong directions can really make her laugh, he had thought. Still thought. Leon had glanced down at the thigh length jacket lying on the passenger seat. She's going to be soaked when she gets back, he thought, looking back out at the rain.
The doors of the private school opened and Allie came shooting out. Behind her a small Sherry ran, using her book bag as an umbrella. She opened the back door for her younger sister before ripping open her own door. Leon only smiled as she gave Sherry her jacket . "Here," she said through chattering teeth, "put this on. Leon, this is my sister, Sherry. Sherry, Leon." She looked up at him and smiled. He shook his head at her drenched state, laughing. His grip on the wheel tightened as she pulled her hair up, revealing the dark cloth under her shirt. She looked back over to him, holding mystery in her mixed eyes. He blinked for a moment before pulling off his coat and handing it over. The mystery became gratefulness as he turned on the heat. "You're such a gentlem-" -
- Leon's head jerked up as the helicopter shook. Sherry looked to her guardian in fear. He yelled for stats and Mike said said everything was fine, just turbulence. Sherry knew it wasn't fine. She could see Mike's profile and he didn't look fine. She looked back to Leon as the shaking stopped. He reached across and patted her knee. "It's fine," he said. "Mike's got it, we're okay." She nodded nervously and he gave her knee a squeeze. She smiled at his attempt to calm her fear. "You got nothin' to fear, kid." Sherry glared. Leon smiled and sat back, his eyes closing, a little tighter this time. Oh God. I don't know and I don't want to know. Sherry yelped in her head.-
"Thanks," Allie whispered, breaking the silence."For dinner and all." And there was that awkward silence again. She looked up, smiling, making him want to die. He gave her the smile of a teen on his first date and her smile grew warmer. "I guess...I guess I should get going," Allie sighed. "I'm sure there's lots of important things I'm supposed to do tomorrow." Leon's smile slid off his face as she left him. The door clicked shut and he was alone. He gave it a second. Took a breath and slammed his hand against the steering wheel. "Dammit!" he yelled to himself. "She was right there! Right there and I was too chicken shit to do it! Dammit I'm 22 years old and I can't even kiss her?" He hit the passenger seat this time and stopped. Allie's jacket was crumpled on the back of it. Shouting thanks to her jacket, Leon shifted into reverse.-
She nearly knocked him out when he burst through her door. He didn't notice though. Behind her fist was a STARS uniform that wasn't doing it's job. "Leon!" she gasped. She shook her fist from the punch and stood on tip toe to examine the red cheek. "Christ Leon, why would you do that!" He smiled painfully and showed her his hands. "You scared me witless just to give me back a jacket? I'm glad I punched you!"
"Well that wasn't the only thing I wanted to give you," he whispered. He took Allie by her hips and kissed her. It wasn't the best kiss he'd ever had. She didn't move. Just made an odd little sound before pulling away. Leon felt his other cheek go as red as his other. She looked him in the eyes and got back on tip toe, slamming her lips into his. -
-Sherry's eyes shot up to Leon when the tiniest of groans went through her head set. She looked at him in horror as his eyebrow twitched in remembered pleasure. She called his name but he didn't answer. Sighing, she went to her own memories of that morning.-
She slipped through the door, locking it once she was on the inside. There was giggling and the patter of feet on hard wood coming from her sister's room but she didn't pay it attention. Popping her gum, she dropped her mini book bag beside the couch and pulled out a magazine. She flipped through it, going to Allie's door. Sherry opened it, catching the magazine, and continued into her sister's room. "Hey bum, wake up," she said loudly. A gasp penetrated her music and she looked up from the paper. Allie stared back at her with the same face of shock as Leon. She blinked before turning down her cd player. "I guess...you're already up... Did I miss something?" Her pale brows shot up as she saw how much her future guardian was wearing. "I'm gonna go before I vomit."
She could hear Leon laughing over Sheryl Crow's words and turned up her music. Giving it a half hour, she went back to Allie's room, pausing her cd. She banged on the door for a minute and stopped. The banging continued and Sherry yelped. "What is wrong with you people? I'm in the other room and you're doing that! Ugh!" She stomped away only to have Allie step through the door a few minutes later, a bath robe loosely tied. "Are you two done yet?" Allie nodded slowly, messing with her hair. "Haven't we only, like, known him two months or something? Allie, that's gross. Plus, I totally called him!"
Her sister grinned. "Yeah, it's been, like, only two months," she mimicked. "Stop saying like all the damned time. It's lame. And how can you call him? A) I met him first and B) He's twenty two! You're twelve! That is so completely wrong it makes me want to yak. " She paused. "What the hell are you doing in my apartment!"
"Took you long enough. Gawd, Allie, I thought you were, like, a cop or something. Aren't cops supposed to think of that kinda stuff early on?"
"I hate teenagers."
"Um, hello? You are a teen remember? Or does doing it mean you're like a total adult now?"
"Shut up would you? And answer my goddamn question!"
Sherry closed her eyes and took a breath. She closed her magazine and looked at her older sister. "Some thing's going on with Mom and Dad. I don't know what was up with them this morning and they were creeping me out and, like, Mom was getting all teary when they dropped me off. She kept goin' on about how she loved us and they didn't mean to or something weird about some virus breaking out. T virus or G virus, I can't remember but it was really scary. Dad said you would protect me if they couldn't stop it and um they said some other stuff about it too. Then they sped off and here I am. Crashing at your place." She took a deep breath. "Al, I'm sca-" -
-"red," Sherry whispered. She dared a glance at the dark sands and shivered. This is almost as bad as Raccoon. I hate flying. I hate flying. I ha- The helicopter shook again and she yelped. Leon looked up, worry clouding his eyes. "Everything alright?" he called up to the pilots. The helicopter shook again, this time a lot harder. "Yo! What's goin' on up there?" he yelled. When Mike didn't answer, he unbuckled himself from his seat and went up. "Whoa! Whoa! Mike! Come on man, talk to me! Mike!"
Sherry gripped her seat, her knuckles going white. "What's going on?" she screamed. Leon ignored her, shaking Mike. "Leon, what's happening!" Leon whipped around, panic written on his face. Sherry's blue eyes grew bigger than saucers as she looked at her fear struck hero. "Leon!" He fell to the back of the helicopter, drips of blood following him. She pulled herself away from her seat to get down to him. "Leon! Oh my God, what happened!" she yelled, fingering his bloody shoulder.
"We have to get off the 'copter," he said through a clenched jaw. "Some one shot us up. Guess we found them." He grunted as he pulled himself up. Sherry caught the Kevlar Leon tossed to her and strapped it on. "Grab everything you can. Guns, sprays, ammo, anything! We gotta get off before this thing blows."
"Blows!" she yelped.
"Yes! Blows!" Leon yelled. "Come on, Sherr. Don't give in to your fears now! She needs you to be alive! She needs us to find her!" Sherry gulped, nodding. He handed her a handgun and ammo for it and she stuffed it in her cargoes along with a first aid and lighter. Leon threw shot gun shells to her and she dropped them in a pocket. There was a huge shake and she fell. "Shit! We gotta go!" Leon grabbed her arm and hoisted her up. Sherry looked around wildly for parachutes as Leon dragged her to the door.
"Leon...Leon..." she began.
"Not now, Sherry! Hold on! I've taught you how to do this before!" He opened the hatch.
"OH MY GOD LEON! No! No! No!" she screamed. Sherry tried to pull away but his grip was too tight. "Leon no! We're too high up! We're gonna d-" Her feet were lifted and she looked at him in pure terror. "Put me down! I'm not Allie! I can't save us from falli-" She screamed as Leon tossed her out of the helicopter. She turned in the sky, wind rushing past her face as she watched Leon dig through the now smoking helicopter. A streak crossed the dark sky and the tail went up in flames. "LEEOON!"
So there ya go. Chapter One. Sorry if it was a little slow but it's not exactly easy writing a story like this. If you like it though, you'll leave me good reviews and I'll write more chapters. So yeah, now I'm out. Later, ska chan.
