Takashi opened the refrigerator door and looked inside to look for a drink. "Takashi?" Saeko called. "Foods almost ready for dinner. I've also prepared meals for all of us for tomorrow." She informed him as she stirred up the food that was in the pot.

"Awesome. Man, whoever this woman is she must be loaded. Everything is so sto-" He began to say, but stopped mid-sentence when he turned away from the refrigerator and saw what Saeko was wearing.

Almost. Nothing.

She had her hair up in a ponytail, with an apron on covering her breasts and her black panties were visible to him, and to everyone if anyone else was there.

Thankfully, there wasn't.

He blushed and took a slight step back trying to look away, but couldn't. Her well toned body was captivating and he couldn't help but feel like he was in a trance as he looked. She finally noticed him staring and stopped stirring the food to look at him with concern.

"What's wrong?" She asked him.

Snapping back into reality and realizing he had been caught, he answered quickly. "What? Oh, nothing! I didn't notice a titty-A THING! We should be prepared in case the dead show up." He answered as he held his drink in one hand and covered his groin with the other.

Saeko giggled before she spoke again. "You know, I wanted to thank you for looking out for all of us. You didn't have to, but you have. And I can't thank you enough for it." She said him as Takashi slowly walked behind a counter to hide his lower body from her before he nodded his head with a smile.

"It's not a problem really, I just didn't want to leave anyone behind. And I want to help as much as I can so no one else has to get hurt." He admits, but then thought about his words then mentally berated himself. "Um, Saeko? Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Sure. Shoot." She answered as she turned around to start stirring the food in the pot again. Takashi took a moment to choose his words carefully, but there were right words for what he was about to say.

"Um... you do know that there is a chance that... Jack might not be alive, right?" He asked making her stop stirring. She sighed before answering. "Yes, I know." She answered without turning around.

"Then... then why do you and Kohta believe that there is even the slightest chance that he is?" He asked her. This question made her turn her head slowly before her sights were on Takashi again with the most menacing and frightening glare that made him take a step back. "Because I have to have hope and faith that he is. I'm sure Kohta is thinking the same thing. If we let go of the people we love most too soon, then we might as well be as empty and hallow as the dead that now walk." She answered before turning her attention back to the food.

"I know that you think that just because he was prepared for this doesn't mean he'll survive, but he will. I know he will." She added with a hint of anger that was directed at Takashi who was still afraid to walk near her.

"Hey, Takashi! Get up here! I want to talk to you!"

Rei called out to Takashi upstairs. He looked up and sighed before walking towards the steps, but then he stopped to look at Saeko, who still had an angered look on her face.

"Saeko... look I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I just..." He trailed off with his head down. Saeko looked back up at him and sighed before she gave him a small smile. "It's alright. I know that you're trying to get all of us to look at the reality, but if we don't have faith in the people that are trying to survive, then we might as well have nothing. Now, I don't know about you, but I intend to hold onto as much faith as possible. You should start doing the same." She said to him with a now bright smile.

Takashi looked at her for a moment before his eyes drifted to the side as thought about what she just said.

"Hey! I said get up here! Takashi?! TAKASHI!"

Rei shouted from upstairs making Takashi snap back into reality as he looked upstairs before sighing. He slowly walked back up the stairs while Saeko just giggled.

She looks back at the pot with a thought crossing her mind.

"I have faith and I'll always have faith in you, Jack. I have the same faith in you as you do in me." She thought as a beautiful smile graced her lips and tears began to build up in her eyes.

She quickly wipes them away and goes back to cooking.

Meanwhile, with Jack and Vincent...

It had begun to rain heavily as Jack and Vincent were running up the streets of Japan while avoiding any undead along the way to the JPD and they could see it in the distance.

"We're almost there!" Jack called out to Vincent making the young man nod his head. "I see it!" He said back to him as they neared the gate to the station.

They both stopped just as they reached the gate and opened it before they were suddenly swarmed by a small horde of undead. They quickly rushed past the gate and closed it with the giant metal lock to keep them from coming after them.

"Where the hell did they come from? They came out of nowhere." Jack wondered aloud as he and Vincent stared at them for a moment while they were trying to get past the gate, but to no avail.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that we're here at the station. So, if you want to find your mother, then we better head inside and start looking." Vincent suggested as he walked towards the entrance of the JPD station. Jack stared for a moment longer at all the undead before turning around to follow Vincent into the station.

They both walked up to the double doors of the JPD and opened them to walk inside. Once inside, Jack was thrown for a loop.

Because inside, the JPD had an eerie and uncanny resemblance to the Raccoon City Police Department. And just standing in the area made Jacks skin crawl.

"Oh, Christ." He whispered as Vincent walked down the steps towards the front desk, but stopped when he noticed that Jack wasn't following him. "Jack? You alright?" He asked.

Jack was frozen and didn't answer for a moment before he finally took a breath. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. It's just... this place, or at least this area in particular looks just like the RPD." He answered making Vincent turn back around and look at the surrounding area before looking back at Jack.

"You sure?" He asked him. Jack nodded then walked up beside Vincent. "Yeah, I'm positive. Aunt Jill would take me with her to visit all of the Stars members before Raccoon City went to hell. Next to Jill and Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker was one of my favorite members." He began to explain making Vincent snap his head towards him. "But then Jill found out that Wesker was an undercover agent for the Umbrella Corporation. After that is when my life changed." Jack continued.

"After that is when you moved here to Japan with your mother." Vincent then assumed making Jack nod. Vincent then sighed and looked at the front desk then up to the statue of, what looked like, an angel or goddess that was just behind the front desk.

Then he shook his head and looked at Jack before patting his shoulder which made the young man look at him. "Well, we can't just stand here all night. We have a job to do, right?" He said to him with a smile. Jack blinked before smiling himself and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Let's get moving." He said enthusiastically as he walked towards the front desk to look for a computer.

Just as Vincent was about to walk behind the front desk himself, he could just barely hear the creaking of a door either opening or closing. And it was coming from the east side of the lobby on the second floor.

He looks up slowly in the direction the sound is coming from, and he just barely caught a glimpse of someone wearing a dark purple dress and a red scarf around their neck before the door suddenly slammed shut making Jack jump and pull his gun out from the sound.

"What the hell was that?" He almost shouted as Vincent quickly ran over to the front desks computer and brought up the security camera feeds that were on the second floor in the east wing.

The camera feed popped up on the screen to show someone running down a hallway in the east wing of the second floor and it was someone they both knew.

"Ada?"

They both said at the same time before looking at each other. "You asked me back in the manhole if I were related to Ada Wong. I should've asked how you know her yourself." Vincent said to Jack as they both stood in shock at the knowledge that Ada Wong was in Japan for some reason.

Jack just scratched the back of his head before he answered. "Well... I don't know her personally like Leon does. Hell, I don't think even Leon knows her personally, but I think they're close enough to consider themselves friends or close acquaintances-" He tried to explain before Vincent interrupted. "But how do YOU know her? You already know how I know her, but how do you?" He asked again making Jack nod quickly.

"Right, right. Again, I don't know her personally. I know her from the letters she sends me. Telling me that she has her eye on me or something. I can't explain it because even I don't fully understand. But she's never shown me any ill will." He explains as Vincent nods his head slowly. "Aaand how do you know what she looks like if you've never met her?" He asked.

Jack paused.

"Jack?" Vincent asked, but the young man just stared at him before finally speaking again. "Uhhh... she... she uh, would um..." Jack tried to say, but he was stumbling over his words as Vincent leaned in with an almost amused look on his face. "Yes? Come on, Jack, use your words." He teased making Jack look at him in annoyance before he cleared his throat.

"Ahem! She, uh... she had sent me a photo or two of what she looks like a few years back." He began before whispering the last bit with a blush while making Vincent snicker at his answer. "Excuse me? Oh, god, PLEASE tell me you're kidding?" He almost laughed making Jack panic for a moment. "Not those kinds of photos!" He whispered harshly as Vincent tried to stifle a laugh. "Alright. Then tell me. What kind of photos did she send you?" He asked with a chuckle.

Jack blushed and answered through gritted teeth. "Not. Those. Kinds. Of. Photos. If that's what you're obviously thinking." He said with clenched fists making Vincent laugh again before he sighed. "Ah, whatever you say, Jack, but I'll be honest. I never took Ada to be a stalker. Especially for an underage kid." He admitted making Jack tense up.

"Hey! I'm not underage anymore! I'm 18 years old! And it's not like can say anything anyway, you're clearly the same age as I am!" He shouted before covering his mouth quickly making both he and Vincent look around to make there weren't any undead stragglers nearby or worse case scenario, the two hulking monsters.

Thankfully there weren't.

So they both let out a sigh of relief as Vincent looked back at Jack and chuckled with a shake of his head. "You know, that's where you're wrong, Jack. I'm older than you are, but I'm not that much older." He admitted which confused Jack. "How old are you then?" He asked him making Vincent shrug.

"Nothing extreme. I'm only 22 years old, dude. So, no, I'm not the same age you. I'm 4 years your senior." He answered.

Jack just looked confused for a moment before internally shaking it off then looked back at the computer, but Ada was no longer in the cameras sights. "Ok, so, anyway. If Ada is here, then what should we do?" He asked pointing at the computer.

Vincent looked at the computer for a moment before walking out from behind the front desk and towards the steps that lead to the second floor before stopping to look at him. "I'm gonna go after her and find out why she's here. And don't worry, I'll be able to catch up to her. If she's here, then she's obviously after something. You should focus on finding your mother or any survivors, and I suggest you get to it quick." He answered before proceeding to walk up the steps.

Jack glanced down at the computer and noticed an item beside the keyboard and quickly picked it up. "Vincent wait!" He then called out to Vincent making him stop and turn around to look at him. "Jack, I'll be fine. I'm a weapon, remember?" He reminded him, but Jack shook his head and smiled before tossing Vincent a serrated edge combat knife that was still in its sheath.

Vincent caught it and glanced at it before looking back at Jack with curious narrowed eyes. "I'm not going to need this, Jack. I don't even really need a gun." He said to him with confusion at the gesture.

Jack just continued to smile and nodded. "I know that, Vincent. But trust me, even with all your abilities, that still remain unknown to me, it's a good idea to have a back up. Everyone needs one." He advised.

Vincent looked down at the knife again for a moment before shrugging and slid it onto his belt and had it sitting on his lower back.

He looked up at Jack and gave him a thumbs up. "I appreciate it, Jack. Thanks." He said before turning around to walk back up the stairs again, but stops and turns around to look at Jack again. "Hey, Jack." He called out.

Jack, who had turned his attention back to the computer, turned around to look at him. "Yeah?" He responded, but Vincent just smiled. "In all seriousness, I hope you don't have a girlfriend." He said to him making Jack look confused.

"Why's that?" He asked in confusion.

Vincents smile just got wider. "Because if she ever finds out that you have photos of a woman that you don't even know, she'd flip her shit." He said with a laugh making Jack blush with wide eyes.

"VINCENT!" He shouted.

"See ya!" The young man said with a smile before suddenly disappearing with superhuman speed.

Jack looked all around him for any sign of Vincent, but he was no where to be seen or heard. So he just sighed before turning his attention back to the computer. "Super strength and super speed. I swear if this were a movie or an anime, he'd so overpowered. I'll be surprised though if he has anymore surprises under his belt." He muttered as he continued typing on the keyboard to look for any trace of his mother or survivors.

Then a thought crossed his mind that made him chuckle to himself. "He's right though. Saeko would kill me if she ever finds out that I had pictures of Ada Wong. Thank god they weren't risqué or anything. Just normal pictures. And thank GOD I don't have them anymore." He thought as he continued to look at the security feeds of the cameras and the activity logs until he came across one that stood out to him.

It was a login from his mother.

12 hours ago.

"12 hours." He thought with despair. "I wish it was more recent, but I'll take it as a sign." He continued in his thoughts before looking up the area that the login was made.

It was made on second floor from the Lotus office.

"The Lotus office. That's where mom's special unit is. I hope she's still there, because that's where I'm going." He thought as he pulled out his gun and checked the magazine then checked to see if he had one bullet in the chamber.

He did.

So he walked out from behind the front desk and up the stairs to the west side of the second floor. He walked up to the door that was the shortest way to the Lotus office and turned the knob, but it wouldn't budge.

"Damn it! It's locked! I need a key." He thought angrily as he looked back down at the first floor then walked back to the computer. He pulled up the buildings map and was glad to see that it had the structure as the RPD. "Ok, so, the JPD has the same blueprint structure as the RPD did. So, this will make this a little easier for me since I know the RPD like the back of my own hand. But I still need to be careful if there are any undead lying around." He thought.

"And chances are there are. So..." He thought again with a shrug as he began to think about where the key could possibly be. "Mom or Chief Matsumoto would be the two people to carry the key for the Lotus office, but where would the key to the door of the second floor be?" He asked himself.

Then he looked up at the computer and pulled up the security feed of the armory that was on the first floor.

He sighed.

"Well, I guess the armory is where I'm going first. That's where the important items are, even evidence. I just hope the key is there." He thought as he walked, once again, out from behind the front desk and towards the small lobby area that leads to the first floor west hallway.

He stops just as he's in front of the door and double checks his Dragon Edge again to be sure it's loaded. Once he's positive it's ready, he opens the door and enters the hallway.

And already, it looks like a massacre.

He sighs again.

"Alright, here goes." He whispers as he slowly and cautiously walks down the hallway.
