A Resident Evil and OC Story

Chapter 12: The Criminal War

Alyssa Ashcroft sat on the couch in a white T-Shirt and black shorts, looking over her topics for tomorrow's news. Being a news reporter, Alyssa always took her job seriously. Always. However, something about tomorrow's news report made Alyssa smile, which was quite a rare action for her.

The topic was surrounding the criminals of Los Angeles…and Sophie. Alyssa's eyes read over Sophie's name numerous times. Every time she did it, Alyssa felt old and childhood memories come back. Alyssa used to tease Sophie as a child, but her hatred for the Afro-Italian grew to greater heights in high school, after Sophie earned a scholarship Alyssa so desperately wanted. The competitive side of Alyssa increased dramatically after that, despite Sophie never wanting their relationship to evolve into an antagonistic one in the first place.

"Payback's a bitch…" Alyssa muttered. She looked at the paper once more and her eyes caught onto Sophie's name.

"…and I'm going to be its pimp."

"Where did you go last night, Sophie?" Luis asked for the seventh time that morning. He was dressed in a wife beater, blue jeans, and his feet were covered with white socks.

Sophie only sighed and shook her head, refusing to answer the question.

When she came back late last night from the party-turn-shootout, she saw Luis sitting in the chair with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face, similar to that of a wife's anger about her husband coming home late. Despite Sophie's tries to excuse her absence that night, Luis didn't want to hear and said that they would talk about it in the morning.

Morning had came, and now, Luis was all questions.

" El tonta! Tu casa es vacio!" Luis yelled, throwing his hands up in the air in frustration. "Why did you go out anyway? Was it a mission? Sophie, you know I-"

The vibrating of Sophie's cell phone interrupted Luis' rant. As Sophie was reaching for the phone, Luis' hand attacking hers surprised her and Sophie turned to him. Sophie's surprised expression met with Luis' angered expression.

"Listen to me." Luis commanded, the seriousness in his voice made Sophie's body shake. "I don't want you to go out there and kill yourself. You're already in enough trouble as it is."

"Well what do you expect me to do, Luis?!" Sophie fired back. The volume of Sophie's voice surprised herself, but Luis remained in his angered demeanor. Sophie began to think that her sudden yelling at him made him even more angry with her, which was what Sophie didn't want to happen.

"How about take a break for once?!" Luis suggested as the phone continued to vibrate. The promise Luis made to never be mad with Sophie kept swimming through his head, in turn making Luis lower his voice just a tiny bit.

"In this kind of world, there are no breaks, Luis." Sophie responded, her voice sharp and penetrating.

After that, there was nothing in the area but oxygen and Sophie's vibrating phone. Luis released his grip onto Sophie's hand, which allowed the woman to turn her attention to the phone.

On it read the name "Sheva". Sophie's eyes widened for a second and she flipped the phone open. "Yes?"

"Hey there. Go to your door. There's a little present for you." Sheva said through the other line.

Sophie moved the phone away from her ear a little and looked at the door. She moved her feet over to it, while Luis just looked at her with a curious look on his face. Sophie made a grip onto the knob, turned it, and opened it to release the cool breeze.

Sophie's eyes caught onto a case that stood upwards at her feet. Sophie bent down and wrapped her fingers around the handle to pick it up.

"See the case?" Sheva asked.

"Yeah." Sophie answered. "What's in it?"

"Open it and see." With that, Sheva hung up the phone. Sophie flipped her cell phone down and wrapped it in her palm, taking the case in and closing the door behind her. She walked back into the kitchen and saw Luis was sitting down at the table, looking at her.

"What's that?" Luis asked.

Sophie shrugged and placed the case onto the table flat. Placing her cell down next to the case, Sophie clipped open the case, and Sophie and Luis moved closer to look at the contents inside.

Sophie gasped. "It's-"

"MONEY!!" Luis shouted at the top of his lungs. His hands seized the case and brought it closer to him, Luis' eyes gazing at every dollar bill. The money was perfectly aligned, with a piece of paper laying on top of them.

"Where did all of this come from?!" Luis shouted, still gazing at the money.

Sophie pulled the money back to her and grabbed the piece of paper. She began to read it:

Dear Sophie,

Please accept this as a token of my gratitude for all of your hard work, and for your horrendous streak of bad luck Sheva has told me about. It is a total of 250,000 in the case, and this should definitely cover any bills or fines(ha ha) you happen to have. Also, think of this as your pay for your missions.

Now, for the business. I apologize about your last assigned meeting with Saddler, as it didn't go well. This time, you will be meeting at a place called "The Gangster's Casa", and the directions are on the back of this paper. You will be delivering a package to me; don't look in it. It is in the contract and breaking the contract will cause serious problems. Go there with weaponry and professionalism. Good luck.

Barry

P.S. Don't worry, Sophie. After this mission, you'll be one step closer into finding your brother, Xavier. Sheva and I are doing the best we can.

"Another mission." Sophie muttered. She placed the paper down onto the table, oblivious to the look Luis was giving her.

"What does it say on that paper?" Luis asked, closing the case.

Sophie had the slimmest chance of lying to Luis. If she did, Luis would know. If she didn't, it would probably make things even more complicated as they already were. Sophie could fail this mission, but most importantly, Luis could get seriously hurt.

Taking a mental deep breath, Sophie turned around to answer Luis. "Luis, I know you want to keep my safe. But I-"

Suddenly, Luis charged for Sophie, knocking her down onto the counter. Luis grabbed a knife that was previously used to spread butter across Luis' toast. He adjusted his body weight onto Sophie's, and his left arm held down Sophie's right arm, while her other arm slowly and surprisingly eased its way over Luis' back. After having a firm grip onto the knife, Luis placed it by Sophie's neck, while he stared at her. Luis' eyes were still and serious, compared to Sophie's wandering and widened eyes.

Luis moved his lips closer to Sophie's, so close that they could feel each other's breathing. Honestly, it slightly aroused Sophie. But the way Luis was staring at her made her eyes stick to him like glue.

"I. Am. Going. With. You." Luis muttered. "Do you understand?"

Sophie blinked and nodded slowly. "Yes sir." she muttered back.

Luis smiled at her response and placed a peck onto her lips. "Gracias, sweetheart." he said. Luis kissed her again, with this kiss being much longer than the first. As they continued to kiss, Luis and Sophie's eyes closed in unison. A strike of relief filled the latter.

'Oh, thank God. I thought he was really going to do it.'

Dressed in a short-sleeved orange shirt with a number on its left side, matching orange pants, and tennis shoes, the black haired fugitive jumped over the prison fence and onto the other side. His ears suddenly picked up running coming up him, which made him run faster.

"Number 3247689 has escaped! Requesting backup!" one officer yelled through his communicator.

Alarms sounded all over the prison, and the escaping convict ran faster. His original plan was to escape in the dark, but the man had some business that needed to be taken care of quickly, and it was something that could be placed off until the night.

"Saddler. You're finished." he muttered. The black-haired convict ran faster as he heard more people running towards him in pursuit.

"Ah. So you must be Sophie Watkins, right?" Osmund Saddler asked, crossing his legs as he got a little comfortable in his chair. He was dressed in a unique, traditional styled, purple outfit that looked like robes. His head was covered with a hood, and his fingers wrapped around a large, mysterious-looking, yet expensive staff.

"Yes, sir." Sophie answered. She stood at the front of his desk, dressed in the same business suit she wore for teaching interview. However, Twin Desert Eagles were secretly hidden in her outfit.

Luis, who was getting a bit bored, was dressed in a gray shirt with a designed vest over it, brown, leather pants, leather shoes, and for accessory, rings were placed on his right index and ring finger. A Red9 handgun was concealed in the back of his outfit.

The room they were in was just a little small, taking the size of an average bedroom. There was small antiques located on shelves, and expensive objects lying around. A designer rug was spread across the floor, and a well-painted portrait of Saddler was located above him.

Saddler's eyes located to Luis. "And he is?" he asked with a curious tone.

Sophie hurried for an answer. "Uh, he's my assistant, sir." Sophie answered, which rewarded her a look from Luis.

Saddler didn't seem to care. He bent down just a bit to pick up something off the floor and sat it on the desk. It was a case, similar to that of the case Sophie found at her front door. It was placed flat and Saddler pushed towards Sophie, which made Sophie walk up to it and grab the handle to take it away from Saddler.

"I'm sure that Mr. Burton will be most pleased with-"

Gunshots were heard from outside of the room. Sophie and Luis' heads quickly rotated to the door, while Saddler just calmly lifted his head. Sophie grabbed her guns but did not reveal them, while Luis took a long stare at Saddler.

The door flew open, causing Sophie and Luis to flash their weapons at the man who barged in. His attire consisted of a blue wife beater, blue jeans, and brown, leather shoes. His right arm was designed with a tribal tattoo, a pair of handcuffs rested on his left wrist, and a shotgun rested in his hands.

"Who the hell are you?" the man said.

Luis was going to say something, but Saddler beat him to it.

"Billy Coen. It's always a pleasure." Saddler said, a grin crawling onto his face. "However, I believed that you were supposed to be in ja-"

At the last word, Billy released a bullet in the direction of Saddler's forehead. With a gasp from Luis and a yelp from Sophie, Saddler hit the ground with his blood exiting the hole in his forehead. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, and the staff fell to the floor next to him.

"Had some unfinished business with you, Saddler." Billy muttered, placing his shotgun down. His eyes soon caught onto someone he had seen before; Sophie.

"Are you that Watkins girl?" Billy asked, pointing at her.

While Sophie was clueless as to what was going on, Luis was getting angry on the other hand. He placed his gun away and proceeded to trot over to Billy.

"Now, wait a minute! Just who in the hell are y-"

Billy had smacked Luis in the face with the butt of his shotgun while he ran up to Sophie, causing Luis to collapse to the floor. Sophie's eyes directed over to the unconscious Luis, but Billy's presence in front of her forced her eyes to located themselves over to him.

"Give me a lift before the cops come!" Billy demanded. "Come on!" He ran over to Luis and slung him over his shoulder with no problem, picking up his Red9 handgun in the process. He slung his shotgun over his other shoulder.

"Let's roll!" Billy said and quickly made his way out of the room.

Sophie gulped and looked back at Saddler, who was dead and gone. Her nose picked up his fresh blood as it slowly spread across the rugs and anything else that crossed its path. She then looked outside and saw dead corpses everywhere, blood mixing in with the fluids that contained their glasses previously. The nightclub was totally destroyed, with bullet holes being a new decoration for the area.

Sophie shook her head to get rid of the thoughts, picked up the case, and ran out with her new found companion, Billy.

'Tell me God. What did I ever do to deserve this?'

"Thanks for giving me a ride. You're car's is pretty nice." Billy said, spreading his legs a bit to get more comfortable in the car seat. "And sorry I knocked your boyfriend out back there." he added, taking a glance at Luis through the car mirror.

Sophie nodded, making another left. 'Why am I taking this man to my house?' she thought. 'And it's not even my car. It's Sheva's'

Billy clicked on the car television, which went straight to a documentary. "Documentary? What the hell do I want to know about a guy and his 17-year relationship with a fish?"

Sophie giggled a little as she came up to a red light. Billy clicked through channels, until he finally cam to a stop at the news. "Hm. Maybe I'm on the news for escaping prison."

Sophie sighed. 'Great. He's a convict.'

"In Los Angeles, there has been a wide spread of crimes recently. The many criminals involved is Albert Wesker, who is known for his recent drug called the 'T-Virus'." Alyssa Ashcroft said.

Sophie's eyes widened and she turned the volume up. "What the hell…"

"Another person involved in this series of crimes is Sophie Watkins, who just recently escaped an interrogation with BSAA officers. Currently, no one knows the whereabouts of Watkins, and a bounty has been placed on her head for anyone that can catch her. The interrogation escape has citizens and other government officials worried about our current law enforcement. One of these government figures is California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger."

Sophie turned the volume as a clip of Schwarzenegger came on, showing him discussing about the government. Sophie entered a long state of thinking, while Billy just stared at her.

"Damn, you're all over the news." Billy said. He then created a smile on his face. "Can I have your autograph?"

End of Chapter 12

There it is! I'm so glad I got this finished! Let's all root for Sophie, okay? The next chapter will be up soon, and I can't wait for this chapter that's coming up soon! Please stay with me! Thank you!

P.S. El tonta! Tu casa es vacio! means, "You idiot! Your head is empty!". Just letting you know.
