24 hours had past since Jack had been cured of the virus strain that had been plaguing his body and Saeko not once left his side.

Saeko, while lying down beside him, watched as he slept soundly before she heard him inhale deeply and stretch. His eyes opened slowly before landing on her, making him smile.

"If I'm in heaven it's looking pretty damn good so far." He said to her quietly, which made her giggle before she quickly leaned over to him and began kissing him softly.

Pulling away, tears began to develop in her eyes, yet again, as they looked at each other. Jack wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek before wiping away her tears. "Saeko, I know. I messed up. I got careless, I'm sorry. But I'm still here. I'm right here." He says to her holding one of her hands tightly before kissing her on her lips.

Saeko nods and smiles with trembling lips before kissing him back. "I know, I'm sorry. I'm trying to hold it in, but-" She tries to say, but pauses as Jack shakes his head.

"No, don't. Don't hold it in. Let it out. I'm right here and it's just us. Let it out, babe. Let all of it out." He tells her as she nods and hugs him tightly and crying loudly into his shoulder. Jack says nothing as he holds her and just lets her let out all of the emotions she had been holding back for who knows how long for the past few days.

After about an hour, Saeko finally calms down and lets out a deep sigh before pulling away from his embrace while wiping her tears away. She looks at him and smiles again. "Thank you, Jack." She says to him.

Jack nods and kisses her softly. "You don't have to thank me, Saeko. I'm your boyfriend. It's my job." He tells her with a smile. She giggles and just lies down beside him as they both just hold each other, but they don't fall asleep.

After a moment, Saeko suddenly begins kissing him again and climbs on top of him while removing her top to expose her upper body that still had on her dark purple bra. Jack, knowing what she wanted to do, didn't stop her and continued to kiss her back until he remembered what transpired only 24 hours ago.

Quickly, but gently, grabbing her arms, Jack stops her from continuing any further, which surprises her as she looks down at him with a look of hurt on her face.

"You... You don't want to?" She asks him with an almost hurt, but curious tone. Jack shakes his head before he explains himself.

"No, no. Believe me, I want to. I want nothing more than to finally make love with you. But... with what Vincent had given me in order to save me, I don't want to..." He explains before pausing.

"You don't want to risk giving me what you have or risk giving... our future child what you have, right?" She finishes with a sly smirk as Jack lightly taps her thigh with a smile.

"Yeah. I just... I just don't want our child to be born with what Vincent has. Did he tell you that he was born with his virus? Whatever strain it is." He asks her, which made her look at him in shock.

"Wait, what? He was born with some type of virus strain?" She asks him. He nods his head. "He didn't tell you?" He asks her.

Saeko shakes her head. "Well... No, I don't think so. I think after he said that the virus could potentially turn you into something worse, I partially blacked out and lashed out at him. I think I almost refused to let him save you after he said that. But I don't remember him saying that he was born with the virus." She explains as he nods in understanding.

"Yeah, well, during our brief team up, before we got separated, he told me that he was infected with something. And me, thinking he was infected with the strain that caused this outbreak, I told him that maybe we could find a way to cure him. But he refused and told me that I couldn't cure what he was born with. After that is when he showed me his red eyes." He tells her as she nods.

"I remember the red eyes. That honestly scared the hell out of me." She tells him before he continues.

"Yeah. Well, we went to the JPD and I found out there that my mom is still alive. At least I hope she's still alive. Not long after that is when one of the Nemesis monsters ambushed the both of us, but it was only after Vincent." He began to explain as Saeko just listened, but stopped him for a moment.

"Just Vincent? Why was it only after-" She wanted to ask, but she and Jack were both interrupted when Jack's bedroom door was flung open as a group of people fell inside, making Saeko instinctively cover herself.

She quickly grabs her top and puts it back on when she and Jack notice who it was that fell inside the room.

Takashi, Hirano, Saya, Rei, Miss Shizuka and, oddly enough, Alice.

Jack and Saeko, looking at them all with a small glare, both took in a deep breath before speaking.

"Guys, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Jack asks them with one of his eyes twitching. Takashi laughed nervously while rubbing the back of his head as he and the others stood up.

"Sorry, Jack. We were going to check up on you, but once you got to talking about this... Vincent guy, we wanted to listen in." He explained as Alice quickly ran over to Jack, hopped into the bed and hugged him tightly with tears in her eyes.

She looks up at him with a trembling smile. "Oniichan, are you ok, now? You're not in pain anymore?" She asks him worriedly as he hugs her back.

Jack smiles and shakes his head. "No, Alice-chan. I'm not in pain anymore. I'm still a little sore, but I'm feeling better." He tells her as she smiles brightly before hugging him tighter.

"Oh? Well then, it's a good thing that you didn't do the deed if you're still sore. I reckon it wouldn't have been a pleasurable experience if one of you were still in pain." Miss Shizuka says, not knowing she had set herself and the others up for a tongue lashing.

Saya and Rei quickly cover her mouth and look over at Jack and Saeko with nervous smiles along with Takashi and Hirano, but it was too late. Jack and Saeko were glaring at all of them as Jack handed Alice over to Saeko before giving them a serious talking to about privacy and having a minor around for an inappropriate moment.

After 5 to 10 minutes of a major tongue lashing from Jack, the group apologized to Jack and Saeko, but explained that before their deviant sides took over, they genuinely wanted to check up on Jack and Saeko. After that is when they started talking about the mysterious Vincent and they really started to listen in, but when curiosity got the better of them is when they fell through the door.

"Jack, in all seriousness, who is that guy? He's not Japanese. He's clearly American. So what's he doing here and how did he manage to save you?" Saya asks him as she and the rest of the group are now sitting around the bed while Jack, Saeko and Alice are sitting on the bed.

Jack shakes his head. "Honestly, Saya, I haven't the slightest clue of who he really is. All I know is that he clearly knows his stuff when it comes to scientific research. Whether it be genetic, viral or anything else relating to science. Otherwise, if he didn't, he wouldn't have done what he did." He tells her.

"You were explaining to Saeko about an ambush at the JPD before you both got separated. What happened there?" Takashi asks as they all nodded and listened in.

"Ok, picking up where I left off before I was... interrupted." Jack began while glancing over at Takashi with an annoyed look, which made Takashi and the rest of the group rub the back of their heads with awkward smiles, he continued.

"We were ambushed by one of the Nemesis monsters at the JPD, but the one that ambushed us wasn't after me like it had been from the beginning. It was after Vincent." He explained.

"Why? Why just him?" Saya asked, but Jack just shrugged. "I don't know. Probably because it labeled him a high priority threat because he kept sending it flying each time he would punch or uppercut it." He told her, making the group look at him with confusion.

"I see the looks on your faces, and I know how it sounds. But I swear to you guys, the first time I met him, I was cornered by two, TWO, of those things. They had me cornered on one of the bridges that lead to the JPD. I wanted to stand my ground and fight, but I was ill equipped and wasn't prepared for even one of those monsters, let alone two. So I did the only thing I could do, back away slowly while trying to think of a way to buy myself time, but then as luck would have it, I tripped. That's when they decided to charge at me because I was down, and I was prepared for the worst to come." He tells them as they just listen with Saeko having a worried and fearful look on her face as she listened.

"But then, in comes Vincent. He sends the both of them flying, and I mean, FLYING, into one of the buildings near the bridge to give us time. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself." He tells them, but they all had a look of uncertainty on their faces, especially Saeko.

"Wait, what?" Saeko stops him. "Why... Why, no, HOW would he be able to do that? I mean, it's impossible. No one, not even the average human, would be able to send one of those things flying. And you're telling us that Vincent, with his... I don't know, athletic, lean build was able to send both of those creatures flying through the air? How's that possible?" She asked him with confusion and uncertainty since she wasn't able to believe how a normal or average human being was able to do what Jack was now telling her and the group.

But Jack just shrugged. "Saeko, babe, I gain nothing from lying to you about this. I swear to every one of you, Vincent is an enigma. He sent both of the Nemesis flying into a building, he took on two messed up, frog looking B.O.W's in the sewers with his bare hands, he fought one of the Nemesis monsters that decided to go after him in the JPD with only a combat knife WHILE the building was burning down. Which I'm going to assume he won since he's still alive." He tells them all.

"What a fucking badass." Takashi and Hirano thought to themselves with stars in their eyes as Jack continued.

"After that is when we were separated and I was trying to make my way here to the estate before I was ambushed myself by the other Nemesis. I'm sure you guys can figure out the rest." He says to them before leaning back against the headboard of the bed.

"That's how you got infected, isn't it?" Miss Shizuka asked, making the group all look at her before she clarified. "The one you fought? That's how you got infected, right?" She asks him again, making him nod in response.

"But I still don't understand." Saya spoke up, making the others look at her.

"How or why is Vincent able to do all of that? I mean, it's physically impossible for a normal human to do those kinds of feats." She continues voicing her thoughts on the matter of Vincent. "I mean, is he taking something? A drug, an injection, something? I mean, normally a person wouldn't be able to do something like that unless they were on something. So he's clearly on something if he's doing super punches or super kicks on undead monsters and freaks of fucking nature. Not unless he's a freak himself." She explains.

"Saya!" Saeko hissed at Saya, who looks at her. "What?" The girl asks with a shrug.

"Whether or not Vincent is on something or not doesn't matter. All that matters is that he-"

"He's not, Saya." Jack suddenly says, making the group all look at him.

"And how do you know?" She asks him.

Jack looks at Saeko then looks at Saya before taking a deep breath. "I... I can't tell you." He says, making Saya shoot to her feet quickly as she looks at him with a glare.

"And why the hell not?!" She asks, wondering why Jack is defending someone none of them even know, and yet he's standing up for him.

"It's not my place to say, Saya." Jack says simply.

Saya was now fuming. "What is it about this guy that makes you think that he needs to be defended?! You think he's your friend or something?! You don't even know him! None of us do! And you're defending him?!" She shouts, but Jack doesn't budge.

"Like I said. It's not my place to say." He says again, which made Saya even angrier. Saeko was about to get out of the bed to calm her down and make her leave the room since she was beginning to scare Aice, but Saya began to shout louder.

"Jack, you are a fucking-!!!"

"Jack, it's ok." A voice says from the doorway of Jacks room.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the group sees who it is that spoke.

It was Vincent leaning against the doorframe, now wearing dark blue jeans with a black shirt and black running shoes with red accents.

"Vincent, are you sure?" Jack asks unsure as he and his group look at the long dark haired, gray eyed enigma.

Vincent says nothing and just nods. "Go ahead and tell them. I'll explain the rest." He says calmly as he still leans in the doorway.

Jack sighs and nods.

"Alright. Saya, the reason why I know that he's not on something or taking anything is because... well, he's infected with something." He began as Saya and the groups eyes all widened in surprise and shock.

"What?! He's infected?! Then why the fuck is he-?!"

"Something he was born with, Saya." Saeko interrupted the girl before got too carried away.

Saya sat back down in her seat with a look of disbelief on her face. "Born with? He was... born infected?" She asks looking over at Vincent with intrigue and guilt. The rest of the group looks over at him as Alice climbs off the bed and walks towards him.

"Vincent-san? You're infected? Are you sick? Is there something that can make you feel better?" The little girl asks him with worry as she looks up at him.

Vincent just smiles and shakes his head. "Don't worry, Alice-chan. I'm perfectly fine. It's just that what I was born with can have a negative effect on other people if given to much of the virus." He explains to her while offering his hand to her and walks her back over to the bed.

"So, your blood is a virus?" Hirano asks him with a fearful tone, making Vincent look over at him and the rest of the group before sitting down on the side of the bed with a deep sigh.

"Yes and no. Yes, because if given a certain amount, like an overdose, to a single person, like Jack here, it can quickly turn someone into something worse than the monsters outside. And no, because if given the right amount, a person can be cured of any illness or ailments within just a few hours. Sometimes for both cases, it doesn't always work, however. It all depends on a persons immune system and how well they take care of their bodies." He explains as they all nod their heads in understanding, but there was still one other question.

"Ok, but... how were you born with this? Were you some kind of, I don't know, failed government experiment or something?" Takashi asks him next.

"Takashi!" Rei whispers harshly while smacking him in the back of the head. "Would you stop being an asshole for at least one day?" She asks, looking at him with a glare before looking at Vincent with a sweet smile. "You don't have to answer that, Vincent-san." She says to him sweetly with a slight bow.

Takashi just shrugs his shoulders with a look on his face while wondering what he said and rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head.

Vincent just chuckled and shook his head. "No, it's alright, Miss Miyamoto." He says to her politely with a wave of his hand.

Rei gasped quietly with a blush. "He knows my name. This... this hunk of a hunk knows my name! EEEEEE!!!" She thinks to herself with a bright smile before Vincent continued.

"To answer your question, Takashi-san. No, I'm not the one that was the government experiment, it was my mom. Although, under the circumstances, I would've been if I hadn't been snagged by my foster mom. Who happens to be an agent for the private agency that I now work for." He explains to them as the look at him with shock.

"Your... Your mom? But why would she be an experiment? Was she injected with the virus before having you?" Saeko asks him with sympathy.

Vincent just shakes his head again. "No, no. She wasn't injected. She was born with it just like I was." He answered simply.

"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted.

"I'll explain another time. It's too long a story and one that I don't think we exactly have time for. Considering who is standing outside the room right now." He says before looking over at the bedroom door.

"What? What do you mean?" Miss Shizuka asks as she and the group look over at the entrance of the bedroom.

"You can come in now, Takagi-san." He says as both Souichiro and Yuriko Takagi walk into the bedroom with relieved looks on their faces when they saw Jack sitting upright on the bed.

Vincent stood up from the bed as Yuriko broke into a run and launched herself at Jack before hugging him tightly with tears slowly streaming down her cheek.

Jack hugs her back as Saya stands up from her chair and tries to walk out of the room before being stopped by her father, who holds her by her arms them suddenly hugs her tightly, shocking and surprising his daughter.

Saya then feels someone hugging her from behind and looks to see who it is before realizing that it was her mother, who was trembling from crying.

Saya, not knowing what to do, stood shocked before deciding to hug her parents back, but hesitantly.

The rest of the group looks on before Takashi, Hirano, Rei, Miss Shizuka and Alice all leave the room to let the Takagi family have their moment.

Vincent, who was standing off to the side, finally decides to leave the room before being called out.

"Wait, Vincent-san." Souichiro calls to him, making Vincent stop to look at him.

"Yes, Takagi-san?" He asks.

Souichiro walks up to him slowly before putting a hand on his shoulder with a nod. "I just want to thank you. Thank you for saving Jack. I still don't know much about you, but should you need anything of the Takagi family, please don't hesitate to ask." He states, making Vincent shake his head.

"Takagi-san, you don't have to-"

"Please, Vincent-san. It's the least we can do for you. Should you ever need our help. We'll be glad to." Yuriko says while still hugging Saya from behind.

Vincent hesitated and looked back and forth between Souichiro and Yuriko, not sure of what to do or say, before his eyes land on Souichiro once again until the man nods with a rare smile.

He sighs and nods with a smile of his own. "Alright. I'll keep that in mind. And thank you both for allowing me to stay here in your home. I can't thank you enough for giving me a safe place to stay and new clothes." He says to them respectfully with a bow as Souichiro pats his shoulder firmly.

"Nonsense, boy. Think nothing of it. Consider it a thank you for saving Jack-san." He says to him. "Although, my gratitude is not over yet, young man. I would like you to accompany me to my office." He says to him before leading him out of the bedroom before stopping to look at Saeko. "You too, young Busujima." He calls out to the girl.

Saeko freezes before looking over at Jack and begins to decline the invitation before Jack suddenly embraces her lips with his own in a passionate and assuring kiss.

Pulling away, Jack smiles. "Go ahead, Saeko. Stretch your legs for a while. I'll be right here until you get back. Plus, we need to get some exercise soon before we head back out. I need to keep looking for mom and we need to find a way to stop all this before Japan becomes another Raccoon City tragedy." He tells her.

Saeko looked anxious as she just kept her eyes on Jack for a few minutes before finally sighing. "Alright, but I'm coming right back. And you better be here when I get back." She says sternly with a finger in front of Jacks face as he just smiled.

"Don't worry, Saeko-chan. Saya and I will be here to keep him company until you get back. Right, Saya?" Yuriko tells her with a smile while looking at Saya, who didn't look sure before shaking her head.

"I'm... No, Mom. I'm sorry, but... I can't." She says before quickly walking out of the room.

"Saya!" Souichiro calls out to her, but Saya doesn't stop and just keeps walking until she reaches the stairs and walked down to the first floor of the mansion.

"That girl..." Souichiro whispers with a shake of his head.

"It's alright, Souichiro-san." Jacks says to him, making the man look over at him. "I'll talk to her later once I get some strength back in my body." He continues with a nod to the father and mother of his friend.

Souichiro and Yuriko both nod before Souichiro looks over at Saeko. "Well, Saeko-san? You coming?" He asks.

Saeko looks at Jack for a moment, who nods, before looking at Souichiro and nods. "Yes, I'm coming, Takagi-sama." She says before she hops off the bed to follow him and Vincent to Takagi's office.

Yuriko sits down beside Jack in the bed and hugs him tightly while placing a kiss on his temple. "I'm sorry about, Saya, Jack. I know we haven't been the best of parents to her lately, but that doesn't mean that we don't love her. She just..." Yuriko apologizes for Saya's behavior before pausing.

"She just doesn't like it when you show more love for someone that isn't your child." Jack says as he and Yuriko both hug each other in the bed.

"But we love both of you equally, Jack. Souichiro, as you know, shows that he cares in his own way. We don't love one of you more over the other. I don't quite understand why she's been acting this way. I've tried to understand and I've tried talking to her about it, but whenever I do, she just breaks down and lashes out at both of us. We can't figure it out." She explains with a trembling tone as tears slowly fall down her cheeks.

Jack looks up at her and wipes her tears away. "Careful, Yuriko-san. You don't want to ruin your image of a strong, badass woman." He says to her, making her chuckle before kissing his cheek then wiping away her tears.

"Aw, look at you, Jack. Acting like a man. I'm supposed to be taking care of you. Not the other way around." She says with a smile.

Jack smiles and just shrugs. "Nothing wrong with being vulnerable from time to time, Yuriko-san. You don't always have to be the strong one, you know? And like I said. I'll talk to Saya-chan later. I'll find out myself what's been going on with her. I may have a feeling on what it is, but I'll find out. I promise that we'll work things out." He says to her.

Yuriko's lips trembled before she nods and suddenly brings him back into a tight hug as she quietly cries while Jack hugs her back.

After a while, Yuriko pulls away from the hug with a smirk. "So, what were you and Saeko doing in here earlier? I'm guessing you both got up pretty early before the others did." She asks, making Jacks eyes widen.

"So? Go on, Jack. Tell me. Were you and Saeko-chan trying to do something naughty before the others could come visit you?" She asks him with a sweet but dark tone.

"Uh-oh." Jack thought with a gulp.
