Chapter 4: A Lovely Reunion
"L-Luis?" Sophie muttered, as her eyes caught upon someone she hadn't seen in 3 years.
Dressed in a white buttoned shirt, black jeans, and dress shoes(the shoes he wore in Resident Evil 4), Luis Sera gazed at a trembling Sophie. His black hair was neatly brushed, every strand perfectly in place. His chestnut brown eyes stared deep into Sophie's own brown eyes, committing every second of their moment to memory.
Without a word, Sophie embraced Luis, to which he countered. Luis snaked his arms around Sophie's waist as he inhaled her scent, the scent of which he hadn't smelled in 3 long years. It was the fragrance of strawberry, with a hint of cinnamon.
Sophie and Luis were best friends. They hung out together almost everyday. However, Sophie and Luis would soon separate, as Luis had to return to his homeland of Spain for research, as his job as a scientist required him to. Sophie was devastated when he left. But now, she felt her devastation digest within her, along with the sadness she felt.
After a minute, they parted. Luis gave her a toothy smile. "I can't believe it's been 3 years. You look great." he said.
Sophie blushed and shook her head, looking away from him but with a smile on her face.
"Heh. You're still the same, chica. You're still quiet and shy." Luis commented, which made Sophie look back at him.
"I'm…sorry." Sophie apologized, displaying a sad expression.
Luis shook his head. He walked deeper into the house, and Sophie closed the door behind him. The Spanish man began to look around the house, seeing that nothing changed in the last 3 years. With the exceptions of a few minor furniture movements, everything was identical. It brought memories back to him. Memories that Luis wouldn't give for anything in the world.
Suddenly, Luis turned around and grinned. "You wanna go out?" Luis asked.
Honestly, Sophie didn't really feel like going anywhere, since she just finished with Antonio, and had just dealt with Dave yesterday. She felt like staying home and trying to revise a plan to rescue her brother from Wesker.
However, Sophie knew she couldn't turn Luis' offer down. He just returned to Spain after 3 whole years, and she understood that Luis wanted to spend time with her. Besides, Sophie might have been in the mood for some time with her best friend.
Sophie nodded with a smile. "Just let me get dressed. Stay here in the living room, please." Sophie said. With that, she walked into the kitchen, as she remembered that there were dishes that needed washing first. Luis sat down on the sofa, stealing a sigh.
The sound of the television hit Sophie's ears. The news had just finished their report on a stolen portrait, and were about to move on to something else.
"Yesterday, Italian mob boss Antonio Mendez's entire mansion blew up into pieces, killing him and the people inside. The area that surrounded the house was also damaged, leaving nothing but torn up crops and pieces of the mansion. Officials say that a bomb was planted in his home, possibly without him knowing. Officials believe this sudden and terrible incident is gang and/or criminal related, and this could possibly be the work of a rival gang or mob boss." the news reporter said.
Sophie's eyes drove away from the dishes and right to the screen. 'Oh no.' she thought.
"FBI, CIA, and police were looking for Antonio Mendez for a total of 5 months, and had absolutely no idea that it was his mansion until they noticed a burnt, but readable address plate on the ground. A similar event took place the day before yesterday, where it was instead a warehouse. Officials say that it could also be gang related, and that LA could be in the middle of a gang war. We will have-"
Before the reporter could say anything else, Sophie turned off the television. She could hear her heart pounding on fear and anticipation. 'Good. They don't know who did it.' she assured herself.
Sophie turned off the sink water and allowed it to digest into the drain. Soap still covered some of the dishes, but Sophie decided to let them be.
"Come on, Sophie!" Luis called from the living room.
"I'm sorry, Luis. I'm going to change right now." Sophie replied. Taking another sigh, Sophie used the other kitchen exit to walk up the stairs.
'Luis can't know. He can't!'
"Mr. Wesker, we have more information on Sophie Watkins, younger sister to Xavier Watkins." the female assistant said, glancing a bit at her clipboard.
Albert Wesker, who was dressed in a black suit, black dress shoes, and his trademark sunglasses, intertwined his fingers and placed each of his elbows onto the desk.
He nodded. "Report." he ordered.
"It would appear that Sophie has taken down one of our alliances. The victim is 'The Ultimate', which was previously ran by Antonio Mendez. It has also be proven that the BSAA is after her, as they already had information on her from the warehouse incident."
"Is there anything else?" Wesker asked, sounding quite interested in the information being distributed to him.
"Yes, sir. It has been said that Mr. Barry Burton, our partner in business, has recruited Sophie for this dangerous mission." the female said.
Wesker's eyes twitched open when he heard Barry's name. He couldn't believe it. Barry Burton, one of his best friends, was siding with Sophie. This was unacceptable. Wesker knew he had to take care Burton or his plan would be revealed.
However, despite the angry feelings Wesker had inside him, his lips formed into a devilish grin. "Interesting." he said, managing to get that out of equally devilish chuckles.
"Send out the forces to track down Sophie. Order them to kill her on sight, I don't care how they do it." Wesker ordered.
The female assistant nodded and exited out the room to fulfill her boss' orders, leaving Wesker to think about what other plans he had for the unsuspecting Sophie.
"I hope you like the coffee." Luis said, taking a sip of his own coffee, "It's one of the best in Los Angeles."
Sophie smiled and nodded, taking another sip of the coffee Luis paid for. Her outfit consisted of a baby blue blouse, a black skirt, and baby blue and white sneaker boots. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and earrings were planted in her ears.
'Hopefully, nothing bad will happen. I really hope so.' Sophie thought. A small frown hid behind her coffee cup, as she thought about Wesker, and the possibility of him ruining her day out with Luis.
'No, Sophie! Don't think that way!' Sophie shouted through her mind. She was confident that nothing would ruin her day with Luis. She wanted to just have a normal day-out, despite all of dangerous events that revolved around her.
Sophie placed her coffee down on the table and rotated her eyes to the side. Her eyes caught onto an all-black car that was parked on the side of the road, opposite of the café. Sophie noticed the car window rolled down, which she didn't find all that strange. However, her suspicions rose to an extreme degree when the head of a male poked out. He rotated his head to Sophie's direction and pointed at her, letting Sophie know that someone was watching her.
'Oh no!' Sophie quickly looked away and turned her attention back to Luis, who was oblivious to the situation that was secretly taking place. Sophie had to get Luis out this area, but she had to do it in a way that wouldn't reveal Sophie's dangerous lifestyle. She was mixed up in this, and she wasn't going to let Luis get involved.
"Uh, Luis?" Sophie spoke out. Luis looked up and raised his eyebrows a bit.
"How about we, um, go for a drive down Beverly Hills?" Sophie suggested. Honestly, she didn't care where they went; she just needed to get away.
Luis smiled and nodded. "That's a great idea! Muy Bueno!" he said. Placing a small tip for the waitress that served them, Luis grabbed Sophie's hand and directed her over to her own car. "I'll drive again this time!"
Sophie said nothing, since she was gazing at the black car, who had a man staring back at her with devilish eyes.
It was 6:30 PM, and the sun began to lower itself. The sky began to paint itself an orange color, and the clouds spread throughout the atmosphere.
After touring Beverly Hills like friends, Luis and Sophie were on top of a hill, looking out at the sea. Sophie's Corvette was perched down the road. The wind began to blow, which caused Sophie's skirt to blow up a bit. Luis saw this and laughed, causing Sophie to blush and quickly turn away.
"Haha! Good to be young, right?" Luis remarked, grinning. Sophie giggled and blushed more.
Suddenly, Sophie's ears picked up faint, but near footsteps walking towards Luis and her. Sophie didn't want to turn around because she didn't wanted to alert Luis, who was obliviously enjoying the afternoon.
As the footsteps drew closer, Sophie knew she had no choice but to react. She had a feeling it was one of Wesker's, or at least someone on the antagonist side(This is not breaking the fourth wall).
"Luis!" Sophie called out. With a surprised reaction, Luis turned around to Sophie…only to get a punch to the face by her.
In a second, Luis' body slammed to the ground. His eyelids covered his brown pupils, as he laid against the guardrail.
Once Luis was unconscious, Sophie turned around to see an African-American man dressed in an all-black tuxedo, carrying Berretta M92FS pistols. A smirk was painted to his face as he raised his weapons at Sophie.
"No!" Sophie yelled. At the sound of her yell, the man fired. Bullets were following Sophie in hot pursuit. In the middle of running, Sophie grabbed Luis and ran down the hill, bullets still flying her way. She quickly threw him in the backseat and ran to the wheel.
'Wait! What if this guy follows me home? Luis will know!'
Unfortunately, Sophie had no weapons on her at the moment, so she would have to improvise with her own physical strength.
Sophie ran back to the hill, and the well-dressed gunman greeted her with gunshots. Sophie ran all around the area, trying her very best to avoid the bullets. However, the stitches from her last bullet wound sent a jolt through her body, causing poor Sophie to hit the ground.
The gunman stopped shooting and half-smiled, seeing that he had an advantage in this battle. Reloading, he moved closer in a slow pace. However, his slow pace and all of his advantages would turn against him when Sophie retaliated.
When the gunman's eyes were somewhere else, Sophie slapped one of the guns away from him and grabbed it before he could even try to get it back. Sophie stood up and ran from him, shooting at him in the process.
The man took a few bullets in the arm, since he shielded his face with it. Though, it appeared that a few bullet wounds didn't stop him from shooting at Sophie with his other well arm.
As Sophie ran, a bullet passed by her right cheek. The bullet failed to penetrate her skin, but it succeeded in making a scar. She released her yell in the form of a hissing sound sliding threw her teeth, and took revenge for the attack by ducking and shooting the gunman in the ankle.
The tuxedo-wearing gunman hit the ground, groaning a bit while grabbing his ankle The wounds in his arm increased the pain and he let his suffering out in a sharp yell. Because of the reaction, his gun slid away from him.
Sophie walked towards the man, aiming the gun at him. A neutral, but hypnotizing look was planted to her face. The tuxedo-wearing gunman looked up at the woman, a painful look planted to his face.
"Do it." were his last words until Sophie finally shot him in between the eyes. His body collapsed to the ground and blood escaped the hole that Sophie created. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as a pool of blood surrounded his head.
Sophie dropped her aim and sighed. Feeling the blood from the scar run down, she wiped it before it could start dripping down. Sophie dropped the gun and walked over to the corpse. She picked him up and walked over to the guardrail. Taking a look at the sea, Sophie finally threw the man into it, watching him sink and join the creatures that swam through the water.
Getting a grip onto the railing, Sophie stole a sigh. It was over. She defeated the gunman; and the best part was that Luis didn't know. That's all Sophie cared about.
"Sophie? What the hell!?" came a voice.
Sophie's brown eyes widened. She didn't want to turn around, she really didn't. Though, the voice sounded so familiar, she wanted to check and see if it wasn't who she thought it was.
Summoning all of the courage she had, Sophie rotated her head around. Standing a few feet from her was Luis, who had displayed a bruise from Sophie's punch along with a blank expression.
"Luis…." Sophie muttered with fear. Her head shook slowly. "No….no…"
Luis saw everything. The punch was, unfortunately, not as strong as
Sophie wanted it to be. Half of the battle, the entire gunman's death, and the disposal of the body all ran through Luis' head, despite his many attempts in forgetting it.
The sky was getting dark, and so was the friendship between Sophie and Luis. Sophie's heart was swollen and cold, and the tension was so thick, a knife couldn't possibly cut it.
All Sophie could do was stare. Tears began to roll down her cheeks, with some mixing in with blood of the scar.
For the very first time ever, Sophie wished that Luis wasn't here….
End of Chapter 4
Another chapter completed! I hope you all enjoyed it, and the next chapter will be up shortly! Thank you!
P.S. When Luis surprised Sophie, Sophie was wearing pajamas. I just don't want people to think she was in her bra and panties. Hehe!
P.S.S I love sneaker boots!
