Chapter 11: The Price To Pay
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Watkins." Vincentio said, giving off perfect smile.
Sophie blinked and gave him a nervous smile of her own. "Oh, please. Call me Sophie." she said.
With a nod, Vincentio rose to his feet. He directed his hazel eyes towards the men around him. The automatically caught onto his look, knowing that their boss wanted his privacy. Some even gave him a few winks, as they believed Vincentio and Sophie were going to hit it off immediately. Finally, the men left out of the room, leaving Sophie and Vincentio alone together.
Seeing that they were alone, Vincentio sighed. He walked behind Sophie, never taking his eyes off of her. Slowly, Vincentio eased his arms around Sophie's neck, which caused the woman to stiff up quickly. Sophie's eyes directed themselves over to the Italian man's head, which was perfectly placed on Sophie's shoulder.
"Finally. Many things have been keeping us apart. I guess fate has finally seen through my despair and sadness." Vincentio said in his natural Italian language. "Such a shame you can't understand me."
This is where Sophie's lips curled up a bit. "I do understand you, and I'm sorry that you've struggled to see me." she said.
Vincentio's eyes widened for just a split second, but soon smiled at Sophie's comeback. He slightly tightened the grip onto Sophie's neck, and he snuggled his face into Sophie's neck. Sophie could feel his goatee glide across her skin, and it sent sensational signals through her body.
"May I kiss you?" Vincentio asked within a whisper.
Sophie's eyes widened, while a blush found itself onto her face. As the blush on her face grew, Vincentio's massaging goatee was making Sophie shake even more.
"I, uh, I-" Sophie didn't know what to say to Vincentio's request. It was so sudden, and Sophie really didn't want to sound rude by saying no.
Before Sophie could possibly stutter even more, Vincentio's lips gently brushed over hers, capturing them ever so passionately. Sophie wasn't technically kissing back, but she really wasn't resisting either. As Vincentio began to attack her lips more, Sophie rotated her head around for better support.
What am I doing? This is insane! Stop it, Sophie!' Sophie yelled through her mind.
Slowly, Sophie pulled away. As they separated, Vincentio looked a bit disappointed. But he understood why Sophie would pull away, for she knew nothing of this man. However, Sophie's pure demeanor certainly aroused him.
Vincentio lifted his head from Sophie's neck, but his hands stayed his on her shoulders. Soon, his hands began to lightly squeeze her skin, which sent pleasurable sensations throughout Sophie's body. Her lips released a sigh and she threw her head back just a bit. After witnessing her move, Vincentio's lips curled into a grin.
"Sophie, my dear. You don't know how long I've been waiting to see you. Ever since I heard about you on the television, and my personal assistants showing a picture of you, I was practically killing people to see you." Vincentio said, his hands digging deep into the skin. "I've been quite impatient."
Despite being engulfed in the relaxing massage Vincentio was giving her, Sophie managed to get out a question. "Why…did you want to see…me?"
"I've heard about your courageous attitude towards your brother's kidnapping, via Sheva." Vincentio said. He then sneaked a kiss onto Sophie's neck. "And…I think I might have some information on Albert Wesker, and where you can find him."
Sophie's eyes stretched wider. She rotated half of her body around to Vincentio and attacked his shoulders with her hands, using her knees as a support on the chair. As Vincentio saw Sophie's anxious expression, Vincentio looked a bit surprised.
"You know where Wesker is!? Please tell me! Please!" Sophie begged, digging her fingers into the fabric of Vincentio's tuxedo. "Please…"
Vincentio witnessed the begging look on Sophie's face, and he could see how in need she was for answers. Vincentio knew he couldn't leave her begging for answers, as it wasn't the way of a gentleman. While looking into the desperate eyes of Sophie, Vincentio moved one hand to the back of her head, while the other one was down at her waist.
As Vincentio moved closer to her face, ready to answer her, a loud noise from outside interrupted their moment. Both of them turned their head towards the door, curious as to what the noise was.
"What the hell?" Vincentio murmured. Sophie didn't say anything, but her mind was entirely on the possible origin of the noise.
Women screamed at the top of their lungs as they headed towards nearby exits. However, gunfire distracted them, and even penetrated their flesh. Blood began to hit the floor, as did many bullets. Suddenly, all bullets hitting the ground, while people continued to scream.
A blond man walked through the doors and passed the gunman, dressed in an all black tuxedo, black dress shoes, and a Rolex Submariner could be seen on his left wrist. With black sunglasses planted over his eyes, he hid some of his identity. Though, many people could make out that it was, indeed, Albert Wesker.
With a devilish smile, he crossed his arms. "I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid my men and I are going to be crashing this party." Wesker said. After that, he stretched his arms across, to which one men placed Remington 870.
He left out a shot into the ceiling, which made many people scream. Men, and a few women, however pulled out their own guns and began to fire, releasing bullets throughout the place. Wesker's gunman instantly fired back, creating even more noise.
Suddenly, the sound of barking entered the dangerous atmosphere. Soon, more gunman entered the area, with most of them baring dog leashes around their hands. Attached to the leashes were big, ferocious, Rottweilers, with each barking and releasing saliva.
When the gunman released the dogs, people screamed and ran. Decorations were destroyed, pool tables were knocked over, and many other objects were being misplaced. Dogs took a bite at people's flesh, trying very hard to tear it off. Bullets hit skin, and most hit the floor, forming shapes in the blood.
Vincentio and Sophie stood by the door, listening to the activity that took place outside. Sophie had a firm grip onto the purse Sheva gave her, hoping that she would answer to the message Sophie left her.
Vincentio placed his ear by the door to try and get a better hearing to the noise. He then directed his eyes to Sophie. "Sounds like gunfire, screaming, and dogs." he said.
Sophie gulped. "D-Dogs?" she asked nervously.
The relationship between Sophie and dogs was a brutal one. Ever since she was a child, Sophie was had a liking towards dogs. However, dogs never liked Sophie, for a reason that Sophie still doesn't know to this day. She suffered dog chases, crazy adventures, and even a few bites from dogs.
"I don't do well with dogs." Sophie added. Vincentio looked at her and smiled.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." he said. He walked away from the door, and Sophie watched him head towards his desk. Vincentio reached into a drawer and pulled out two guns; a golden Desert Eagle and a customized Beretta that read "Mendez Steel of Glory" in Italian. He then pulled out many magazines and loaded each gun with one.
As Sophie walked closer, Vincentio grabbed the Desert Eagle, four more magazines, and directed them to Sophie. Vincentio smiled. "Have fun with this, my beauty." he said.
With a determined nod, Sophie grabbed the gun and magazines, placing the magazines into her purse. She walked over to the door, with Vincentio right behind her. They each took a side at the door, with Sophie placing two hands on the gun, and Vincentio only using one hand.
Vincentio looked at Sophie. "Are you ready?" he asked.
Sophie nodded. "Yes." she simply answered.
With another smile from Vincentio, they both reached for the handles. They used their entire strength and flung the doors open wide, raising their guns instantly. Some gunman saw them and immediately opened fire on them. Sophie and Vincentio went separate ways, both shooting at the gunman. Bullets soon hit the skin of the gunman, bringing them in their own pool of blood.
As bullets were fired and bullet holes were created on the walls, Sophie did her best to dodge them, while trying to find Sheva in the process. In the mix of the action, Sophie ducked under a table to catch her breath.
"Sophie?" someone whispered.
Sophie turned around and saw Sheva, looking at her and drinking a martini as well. Sheva flashed her a smile, while Sophie sighed in relief. "I thought you were dead. You didn't answer my message." Sophie said.
"I accidentally dropped my phone and it was crushed when people were running." Sheva replied, taking another sip of her martini.'
A nearby gunshot interrupted their reunion, which pierced the wall. Alarmed, Sophie grabbed Sheva's arm and began to run away, with Sheva's martini glass falling to the floor, the glass and all of its contents spilling on the floor.
"There she is!" Wesker shouted, pointing in the process. On cue, they fired. The dogs chased after them, but some were shot in result of Vincentio's bullets. Dodging many bullets with some barely passing his skin, Vincentio made his way over to Sophie and Sheva.
"Let's go!" Vincentio shouted, which signaled both women to head towards the door, with gunfire right on their tail. Leaping over corpses, the trio exited through the side door.
They began to run, as their ears picked up the remaining gunmen's footsteps. When they reached the cars, they saw the survivors enter their cars and drive away, with some still shouting a bit and still screaming. Sophie, Sheva, and Vincentio all ran toward Sheva's car, as they heard Wesker's minions grow closer.
Gunshots were fired, which made people hurry into their cars. Finally, the trio made it to the car. They entered quickly; Sheva in the driver's seat, Sophie in the passenger's, and Vincentio took a seat in the back. Shoving the key into the ignition, Sheva pulled out of the parking space and quickly drove off, along with other cars. Gunfire was still heard, but the trio was left unharmed by it.
After a few minutes, the trio was out of the area. After they came up to a red light, they took a breather.
"That was fun." Vincentio remarked, chuckling a bit. Sheva rolled her eyes, while Sophie released a heavy sigh and placed her head gently on the car seat.
"So, what now, Vincentio?" Sheva asked, waiting patiently for the light to change.
Letting out a chuckle, Vincentio put up his hand to gaze at his sovereign ring. The memory of his father, and the moment when he presented him the ring to him, floated back to him. The way his father looked at him, the warm smile he gave him, created a smile of his own with his lips.
"I might hang around Los Angeles for a while. Like my father always said: 'If you won the battle, relax until the next stage of the war'".
As the light formed a shade of green, Sophie could feel a smile curl on her lips.
'The war is just beginning.'
End Of Chapter 11
Here it is! I don't know why I called this chapter "The Price To Pay". Maybe because Sophie knows Wesker will be paying for the trouble he caused her. Anyway, the next chapter will be up shortly! Thank you!
P.S. Note that this is the first time that the relationship between Sophie and dogs appear.
