Chapter 24: Thicker and Thicker
Luis laid across the sofa with one of his legs up and his arms over his head. His cell phone was located on the stand next to the sofa, and Luis had been waiting for a long time for Sophie to answer. After realizing that he hadn't called Sophie ever since he left, Luis left a total of 5 messages that morning. Sophie didn't answer one.
Luis let out a sigh of frustration. "What the hell is she doing?" Luis murmured.
Luis was a bit stressed out. He was a bit mad that that woman named Ada had disappeared on him during the massacre. Luckily, Luis got out safely through the back door with some people. However, Luis has had this nagging feeling that Sophie was involved in the massacre. Luis knew that Sophie would never do anything that reckless, but for some reason Luis thought that she was the main reason why it happened. Perhaps the culprit was looking for Sophie; Luis didn't know.
Suddenly, Luis' cell phone finally began to ring. Luis jolted up and grabbed his cell phone. He stared down at the identity and it said "Unknown".
"Damn." Luis cursed underneath his breath. After flipping the cell phone open, he placed it to his ear. "Hello?"
"Good morning, Luis." greeted a female voice.
Curiosity made Luis raise an eyebrow. "May I ask who's calling?"
"It's Ada." she answered.
"Ada! Where have you been?" Luis asked, the tone of his voice reaching to that of an angered one.
"I'm sorry I left you like that, Luis. Please forgive me for that. I just…needed to take care of something and I didn't want you to get hurt." Ada said sounding quite guilty and sad.
Luis blinked. "Get hurt? Why would I get hurt?" he asked.
There was a short pause before Ada said anything again. "Never mind. So, are you still mad at me?"
"Maybe…" Luis muttered, rolling his eyes.
Ada giggled. "How about I make it up to you? Let me take you to this place where you can get a beautiful view of Los Angeles. Please?" she suggested.
"How do I know that you won't disappear on me again?"
"You don't. You just have to trust me." Ada replied. "'Do' you trust me?"
Luis looked down at his feet in thought. Did he trust Ada? Truth of the matter is, Luis didn't know anything about this woman. She was just a lady that popped up in his life, like a wandering soul looking for a home. Though, Luis always felt that Sophie was a wandering soul as well, and Luis trusted her to a great degree.
Luis pulled his attention back to Ada. With a sigh, he began to talk. "Do I have to dress up?" Luis asked.
"Not really." Ada simply answered.
"What is 'Not Really'?"
"You don't have to. Just put on something nice and sharp, and I'll pick you up at 9:00 PM." Ada said.
"Goodbye, Luis." Ada said, giggling a bit.
Luis chuckled at the childish tone of her voice. "Adios, Ada." Luis said before closing the cell phone. He placed it down in its previous spot and laid back down onto the sofa.
Luis sighed and directed his brown eyes at the ceiling. 'Luis, what have you gotten yourself into?'
"So, what are we doing again?" Billy asked, planting his feet up as he sat in the passenger's seat.
"Didn't you hear her?! We're meeting some big shot drug dealer." Karen said, making a face to Billy.
A twitch caught itself onto Billy's eye and he turned to Sophie, who calmly and quietly drove her group to their destination. "Oh yeah. I meant to ask you these things." Billy said. He then pointed to the back of the car. "Who are these two, and why are they here?"
As Sophie came up to a red light, she looked at Karen and Kevin through the rear-view window. They noticed her and gave her their big cheesy smiles to her. Sophie then turned to the annoyed Billy. "These two are Kevin and Karen Ryman. They're here because…they won't leave me alone." Sophie answered.
"And because we owe you one." Kevin added, smiling. "You know that."
"What do they owe you?" Billy asked.
Before Sophie could answer, Kevin cut in. "I used her as bait to get my sister back from Sherry, who took her hostage. Turns out that Sophie wasn't working for Wesker, and that she's trying to get her brother back." he said, crossing his arms and nodding his head in a know-it-all fashion
Billy rolled his eyes. "No shit." he muttered.
"So in return, we're helping her catch the bad guys. We're part of the team now!" Karen said in a chipper tone of voice.
Billy looked at Sophie, who only half-smiled and drove off as the red light turned green.
Sherry attacked her punching bag and it swung violently. Anger had overwhelmed her all day because of her failed mission. Her father, William Birkin, was not pleased with her sudden failure and temporarily "grounded" her from missions. The image of her father's displeased facial expression made Sherry angry once more, and she took it out on the punching bag by delivering another good blow.
Before Sherry could violate the punching bag even more, her cell phone began to ring. Sherry turned to the boxing ring that was located in the middle of her personal workout center. She walked over to it and grabbed her cell phone off the boxing ring floor. Before flipping it open, Sherry's eyes caught onto the name "Rachel".
Sherry flipped it open and placed it towards her ear. "Yeah?" she spoke.
"What'cha doin'?" Rachel asked cheerfully through the other line.
"Taking advantage of my suspension." Sherry answered in a slight jocular tone of voice. "Why?" she asked.
"Sorry your mission didn't go so well. I thought it was a pretty good plan, too. But Ada, Jack, and I have another idea that is sure to work! We are inviting you to join us!"
Sherry raised an eyebrow. "As much as I would like to, I can't. If my father or Wesker found out, my ass is gone." she said.
"That's the beauty of it! They won't know! Ada said that this mission is personal 'fun'. So, are you in?" Rachel replied.
"I…" Sherry remained silent for a while, thinking of the possibilities and consequences. If she said yes, she would be disobeying her father's rules, which could deeply hurt her alliance with Wesker. However, if she chooses to say no, Sherry could be missing out on a one in a lifetime chance to get Sophie. Plus, if she were to come out victorious, Wesker and her father would be impressed with her.
After closing her eyes and opening them again, Sherry placed her attention back to the phone. "I'm in."
"Hooray! Now, you'll be with Jack and I. Ada said she had something personal to do, and Jack acted like he didn't know, but didn't really care. Ada said to us that it was going to be a plan that involved 'Intertwining Realities'. Don't know what she meant by it, but it sounds pretty cool!" Rachel explained.
"Okay." Sherry replied.
"Jack and I will pick you up by 1:00 PM, so be ready by then okay?"
"Got it." Sherry responded.
"Great!" Rachel replied with a laugh. "Oh, can I ask you something Sherry?" Rachel spoke after her laughter died down.
"Shoot."
"You hit on a 'girl' and didn't tell your Dad the entire story. Doesn't that make you like a 'closet lesbian', or something?"
Sherry chuckled. "No. I'm 360 degrees."
"360 degrees?"
"Yeah. I'm bisexual. I'm 'all around'."
With that, Sherry hung up the phone and placed it back onto the boxing ring floor. She walked back over to her punching bag, but only stared at it and did not attack it like before. A smile passed over her lips.
"360 degrees." she muttered. She then delivered a powerful punch that created a hole in the punching bag. The contents that have the punching bag its shape spilled all over the floor, making a big mess. Sherry didn't bother to clean it up and only looked at it after pulling her hand out of the damaged punching bag.
Sherry stared at the mess at her feet, another smile wiping across her face. "Yeah. I get around."
"This is it?" Billy questioned, looking at the place with wide eyes of admiration.
It was a mansion, grasping every detail that a mansion had. There were artistic fountains all around the lawn, expensive vehicles parked together, outdoor decorations that rained all around the area, and it was all held back behind a large, black gate. A small intercom system was placed on the gate.
"This place is huge!" Karen exclaimed, gazing at it along with Billy. "I wonder who lives here."
"A wealthy, fat bastard does." Kevin said, walking up to his sister and Billy with Sophie at his side.
Sophie walked passed Kevin and up to Billy. She handed Billy his shotgun along with some ammo, and Billy took it with an appreciative nod. Sophie then lifted the backpack that she carried in the other hand and placed it on her back. Her signature guns, the twin Desert Eagles, rested in her pants and were hidden by her white shirt.
Sophie turned to Kevin. "Do you have yours?" she asked.
Kevin smiled and held up his weapon of choice, a .45 caliber pistol. "I haven't used this baby since I left the force. I can't wait." Kevin said.
Karen pouted. "How come I don't get a gun?" she whined.
Kevin turned to her. "Professionals only." he replied. His reply earned him a smack upside the head by Karen.
Sophie walked up to the gate and pressed the button on the small intercom. A few seconds passed before a voice could be heard.
"Hello. May I ask who is there?" a male politely asked.
"Rat Patrol. We're here to take care of those pesky rodents for our client." Sophie spoke.
"This place is amazing." Karen murmured, looking around. "I could get used to stuff like this."
"I'm glad you could make it, Sophie." came a mischievous voice from out of nowhere. The voice made the group look around, with Karen running behind her older brother's back.
"Though, I didn't know you were bringing company." the voice added.
"Who's there?" Billy called out.
"Up here." The group looked up at the second floor and near the banister. There, a short man stood with his back turned to the group. His attire consisted of extravagant grab and a fancy hat to top it off. Two tall, hooded, mysterious men stood beside him, serving as the short man's bodyguards.
The short man turned around to reveal his pale and wrinkled face. A devilish grin appeared on his lips, showing his slightly yellowish teeth.
"I see you all have come to challenge me." the short man said. He spread his arms out, as if he was wanting an embrace.
"Allow me to grace you with my identity. Mi llamo Ramon Salazar."
"Tell me again why I have to join you to help Sophie!?" Leon shouted, taking the donut from his mouth.
"Because your past relationship with Officer Ryman is on the verge of exposure." Chris responded, smirking.
Leon blushed and turned away from Chris, taking another bite of his jelly donut. He chewed and swallowed his piece before turning back to Chris to say something. "Anyway, what are you doing to help this girl exactly?"
Chris said nothing and only looked at Leon.
Leon smirked. "Nothing, right?" he asked. "Or you don't know?"
Chris just stared at him. "Shut the fuck up and eat your donut."
David King worked on his camera before he would go into work mode. Only 5 minutes were left before the news would go on the air, and David was ready to collect these stories that would go on in the outside world.
Right after David was finished working on the camera, he heard the sound of heels walking to him. David lifted his head up and saw Alyssa Ashcroft, who was dressed in her red news suit.
"David, I have a please offer for you." Alyssa said, smiling.
"…" David blinked.
Alyssa knelt down to David with a smile still on her face. "I giving you in invitation to try to capture Sophie with me. Personally." Alyssa said.
"What do you say?"
David gave her a slightly worried expression. "…"
Alyssa's smile grew even more and she nodded. "Excellent! We'll start investigating today. You won't regret this." she said.
With that, Alyssa left to get ready to report the news, leaving David as he held onto the camera. He honestly didn't know what to say to Alyssa offer, as he didn't really accept it. Though, David knew that there was no use backing out now, as Alyssa always got her way.
'Why did she have to choose me?' David thought.
End of Chapter 24
That chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed it, and the next chapter will be up soon. Thank you!
P.S. Yesterday, the school had a dance to celebrate Barack Obama's victory called "The Obama-Rama". It was fun, even though I didn't dance much. Though, it was a bit embarrassing to see those girls dance up on those guys in a freaky way. I got sad since I knew they would never dance with me like that (whimpers and sobs).
Not that I really want them to…I guess. (shifty eyes)
