Leon grunted, his shoulder pushed against the door as a handful of half dead villagers were trying to push their way in. His boots scraped against the hard wood floors and he saw from the corner of his eye, a woman in red. She had come down from the roof of the interior where he stood, hanging from a near invisible wire that was lodged into the solid ceiling. Though the roof above his head revealed many wood beams, the woman named Ada had dropped down in front of him, and she gave him that self same come hither me looks that amused Leon. She looked him over in an appreciative manner, her tongue had glided quickly over her lips, wetting them and Leon nearly gritted his teeth out at her, "Care to help me out? Or are you just going to stand there looking pretty?"
She had her hand on her hip and watched the former police Agent struggle against the door, the villagers hands were pushing their way inside, as a few pale hands threw axes, which were way off target. A slight smile painted on her expression as she snorted out, "I'm so happy you always need me, Leon. Makes a girl feel real special."
Ada quickly took aim and shot at the hands, splattering them against the wall next to her old friend. Leon just merely grunted some more, "I would be happier if you did more than shoot off a few helping hands."
"Oh don't be so eager, honey." She winked, then took out a grenade and threw it at the opening. The villagers screamed as the grenade shot off their bodies everywhere, and Leon could feel the weight lessen against his body. Finally placing the door in place, locked it with the metal bar, he pushed his brown bangs back, sighed and glanced over at Ada, "What brings you here? Still playing lap dog to Wesker?"
The dark haired woman tilted her head at him, placed her gun back inside it's casing, which was a wrap around leather along the thigh of her leg. She obviously ignored that comment and watched him. Leon eyed her attire up and down. He couldn't figure out how the hell she managed to carry enough weapons to get her by with a pair of high heels and a red dress that screamed here I am. He adjusted his jacket over himself, brushed off some of the dirt from his pants and walked by the woman, acknowledging her silence.
He really didn't have time to chit chat.Ashley Graham got kidnapped again! Instead of waiting for her reply, he scanned the interior of the church, noting the rows of marbled pews, the center piece sparkled gold on top of the ceremonial stand, and there was a sort of a glass window above. Leon groaned, the riddles he had to lock pick his way through this hell town made his visit here lengthier, but in the end they paid off, giving him a jewel or two for compensation. It wasn't enough really, and he was getting more than he bargained for as villagers turned into clawed monsters and hooded men and women with chainsaws ready to slice you in two pieces.
Leon sauntered to the center piece; his eye could take in the surrounding area of the rounded piece that looked like a sharp criss crossed shape that had an outlined oval like appearance. They must cost a pretty penny, but instinct told him to still his hands from taking what was obviously not his.
"Like what you see?" Ada's voice came from behind. Her high heels made noise on the hard floors. "It's a 12th century piece that you'll never find anywhere. Dug up from this very same village."
"Oh?" The U.S. government agent wasn't really interested in the history of things, not really, but if it served a greater purpose in his mission, then he'd listen to Ada. "Tell me what else you know about this village and the dug up old things their great- great- great and then some grand fathers buried."
There was a loud banging at the door, and they both knew a fresh batch of villagers were trying to get in. Leon took out his shot gun, grinned over at Ada, "You going to join me this time or you going to run off like you always do?"
"What. And let you have all the fun? I'd rather work by your side." She said in an off hand manner, ignored the surprise on his face, "But, duty calls and I must leave you. I'm sure you can take care of the villagers out there if you want." Ada pulled on the near invisible string, wrapped her hand around it, and said one last time, "If I were you, Leon, I'd take the route below that leads to the hidden underground below this church."
She pulled on the string once and it heaved her up, planting her on top of one of the wood beams, then shot at the part of the roof that opened up a small section to the outside. Leon watched her as she disappeared through that hole, then thought about what she said. "Underground eh?" He immediately looked around the floored area of the church, tried looking for any cracks or lines, and saw a glinting faint light from a cornered locality. He rushed over to that area, searched for some kind of handle, and instead found a shaped marking that looked suspiciously like the gold center piece, except smaller. Leon groaned aloud, "Another riddle. Great gods, so what do I do now? Get that piece over there and place it over here? Or find a key to it?" He snorted, "Yeah, I know exactly what to do."
He took out his butterfly and shot at the wooden area, breaking it and sending wood splintered pieces everywhere. "That should take care of things. Now…."
Before he could reach over to pull the rest of the hidden floored door open, a hand shot out and grabbed him.
