Claire was speechless. What was this man doing in her house? "I don't mean to frighten you, Dearheart. I promise I come in peace today." "Wesker! What could you possibly want with me? If this is a plan to get to Chris, don't bother. He more than likely would not realize I was missing until you grew bored of me." Claire didn't mean to sound so spiteful when she said that, but there it was. "No, Miss Redfield, I am here to ask a favor of you. If you would please sit so we can discuss this like adults." Claire started to walk over to her couch but hesitated. You dummy! How do you know he isn't going to kill you? "Miss Redfield, I can assure you I mean you no harm, but if it is any consolation I wouldn't kill you without Christopher present to witness it. So, please, sit." Claire found herself sitting on her couch, unable to speak. "So, my dear, it has come to my attention that there are quite a few enemies trying to kill me at this time. All I am asking is for you to come away with me and play the part of my romantic interest for 6 months, a year at the most." Claire was dumbfounded, "Why would I help you? Even if I did, how would me pretending to be your-" "Claire, if you agree to help me, you will be paid handsomely. If money isn't what you desire, name it and it will be yours. I know it isn't the most convenient situation, but no one would suspect me of being where you are." "Why only 6 months? People aren't going to be looking for you after 6 months? How does that make sense, Wesker?"
"Those people will be dead in a short amount of time. I only need time to find them before they are able to find me. I will do my best to keep you out of danger, but I know you are capable of defending yourself if the time comes. As a bonus for helping me, after all is said and done, I will relinquish all of my research and developments over to Christopher and the BSAA. I will even offer to help him in his take down of Umbrella, if that's what he is after." Claire couldn't believe what she was hearing. He was just going to switch sides? "Say I help you; how do I know you won't betray me? How do I know you wont just kill me and Chris? Also, I have a job, a life here." Wesker looked around the room. "I know you work for Terrasave. I also know they are going under right this very moment. You could expect employment with them to cease within the next month." "When would we leave?" Claire found herself asking. Wesker chuckled, "If you agree to the terms, we leave within the hour." "What?! I need to pack! I need to call my friends. I assume I can't take my cell phone with me?" "You would be correct. I will buy you all new clothes. You will not find yourself lacking any of your human necessities." Claire laughed, "I hardly think clothes are reserved only for humans, Wesker. Let me pack a small bag and, I can't believe I'm saying this, lets go."
