DISCLAIMER: Do not own anyone or anything from RE4 and Sly3.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Found the perfect song for KOP. It's called What Are You Waiting For by Natalie Grant. I'm pretty depressed right now. My mom took away my RE4 game 2 weeks ago, and when she FINALLY allowed me to play it for an hour, we couldn't find it. My sister was the one to hide it. More than likely she either threw it away or took it to good will or game exchange behind my mom's back. What a great big sister.

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR:

CONVERSATIONS

First thing Leon saw when he awoke from his unconsciousness was Sly's face peering down at him. "You okay?" Sly asked, concern written all over his face. Leon nodded and slowly sat up, despite most of his aching body protesting. Leon immediately froze when the pain in his neck became too unbearable and laid down again, groaning in pain. Sly hurried over to a table with medical supplies on it and came back with a syringe needle. There was greenish looking liquid in it.

"What exactly are you pumping into my body?" Leon asked as Sly injected the needle into Leon's neck. Sly glanced at him. "Just something that will dull the pain." Sly finished with the shot and stepped away. Leon put his hand on his neck, only to withdraw it quickly. "What happened?" Leon asked. "You were jumped by one of those dog demons that tried to rip your throat to shreds. Murray managed to distract it to make it get off of you, and I killed it when it was going for Murray." Leon looked around. "Where is Murray anyway?" Sly smirked. "Trying to get use to using guns. After that little scare with your neck being torn to shreds, Murray vowed that he would learn to use a gun." Leon smiled sheepishly. "Guess I gave you guys a good scare." Sly laughed. "Nah. I only shit on myself once." They both started laughing.

When they had calmed down, Sly said, "This woman Ada Wong saved your life. She said she knew you from six years ago in Raccoon City." Leon's head snapped up at Ada's name. "Ada? You saw Ada? I haven't seen her since..." Leon stopped there, making Sly look over at him. "Since..." Sly asked expectantly. Leon sighed. "I haven't seen her since, you already, the incident in Raccoon City, that turned innocent people into mindless, flesh eating zombies." Sly waited for Leon to continue. "So what happened to Ada in Raccoon?"

"Ada tried to save my life.. and she did. We were on top of this unstable bridge, and a zombie was coming our way. Right before it got to me, Ada grabbed it and she and the zombie tumbled off the bridge into the abyss below. I thought she had died, and her death had haunted me ever since." Leon stopped and took a breath. Then looked up at Sly. "Are you sure we're talking about the same Ada Wong here?" Leon asked. Sly shrugged. "I don't know, I guess. I wasn't with you in Raccoon City."

It suddenly became awkward silent and Sly twidled his cane absentmindedly. Leon must not just have a ripped up neck, but a concussion also, to think that a Ada Wong who was killed six years ago is back from the dead. Sly shook his head. But he had seen A Ada Wong just about a half hour ago. Could it be the same one...

Sly looked up at Leon to ask him more about this Ada, but Leon was breathing slightly heavier than usual and had his eyes clenched shut. Leon was in too much pain right now to talk. He needed rest. Sly took off his blue cap and ran his hand through his fur. His question would just have to wait. Just then Murray got back from his "training"...

NOTE: Sorry that it sucked. I'm having writer's block again and really didn't feel like writing this chapter today, but the two reviewers wanted more... R&R.
