!Ada's POV!
Finally... I reached the outer Residential area of Washington D.C. Now only to figure out where Leon lives. Hmmm... I'll check the phone books.
"Mam, can you pull over by that pay phone over there" I asked with a slight could-you-hurry-please sorta tone. She didn't answer and just pulled her taxi over to the payphone and parked there. I reached for the handle of the car and opened to fill my lungs with the fresh air I hadn't had in a while.
I got to the phone booth and closed the door behind me. I ran my thumb through the pages and looked for Kennedys. Larry R. Kennedy... Leroy M. Kennedy... Leon S.Kennedy. As i came across his name I paused with a small amount of fear for some reason. I couldn't quite pin down why I'm scared to come in contact with him. I looked at the Phone number and address. I started Contemplating whether or not I should Call him or just show up.
Leaning my head against the glass thinking... I then decided to just show up. Why? I couldn't exactly answer my own question I asked myself. beep beep the Taxi cab honked at me and I lost my thoughts i was presuming and headed back to the cab.
"Can you take me to Pennsylvannia Ave." I asked her. She gave me a questioning glance, and I could see a question coming.
"Do you mean the White House" She asked me. Oh my God, That's right. I'm guessing He lives in the President's house now? Perhaps they fear something similar will happen again and want Leon to stay around 24/7? Great this isn't exactly what I wanted. Realizing he was still waiting on an answer I just nodded my head.
Moments Later.
"Pzzt... Pzzt..." I hit the Buzzer outside the White House gates. A Secret Service Officer came to the gate from his post
"Can I help you Miss..." He asked me in a surprisingly very friendly manner. I rubbed my forehead and looked back up.
"Can I speak to a Leon S. Kennedy" I asked. He looked surprised. He gave me a index finger signifying for me to wait outside for a second. He went back to his post and picked up the phone. Only few words I could hear was. Not, and Unavailable.. and hearing this I was guessing he wasn't around. The guard headed back in my direction and he now looked like he was bearing bad news.
"He's not here currently. I believe he is having a Reunion Dinner of some sort. Would you like me to leave a message" He asked politely. I simply sighed.
"Can you tell me where this Reunion is at" I asked him. He shook his head and started to explain.
"I can't give that sort of information out unless your on his list of acquantinces. Can I get your name" He asked.
"Ada... Ada Wong" I responded. He looked extremely shocked.
"OH! Your the one who helped Leon get the President's Daughter back isn't that right" He responded. This surprised me. Leon talks about me often? Seems even the local guard knows what's going on. "Yes please, Come in, I can't tell you but I'm sure the President can. He wanted to personally thank you but according to Leon he said it wasn't going to happen anytime soon or ever."
"Ok..." I said reluctantly. He opened the gates and he escorted me to the President's Office. "What's your name by the way." I asked.
"Jack.. Jack Howard." he responded. "Pleasure to meet you" He replied with a smile. This environment wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting Interrogation and questioning. Not a warm welcome. Wesker was never this happy with me even though I defeated countless Ganados, and brought him the Sample.
"Here we are." He told me opening the door. I slowly walked in as he was holding the door open for me.
"Jack, what's this? I'm kind of busy right now." He asked. He seemed in a very tired and temperous mood. The President stood from his chair and saw me.
"Sir, this is... " Jacked replied signally me to finish the sentence.
"Ada Wong" I said. walking towards his desk with an outstretched hand. The President now looked dumbfounded and quickly walked towards me, with his hand out.
"THE Ada Wong?" He asked with a eyebrow up. I simply nodded my head and watched helplessly as he pulled me into a hug. I kind of just tapped his back a little and tried not to make him upset. "Just wanted to thank you. Thank you for all you did to help my daughter." He replied. I was simply helping Leon and it seemed that he needed to save her so I decided to hold Saddler off.
"It's really no problem. I'm kind of in a hurry can you tell me where Leon is" I asked trying to be polite as possible. The President went into a thinking gesture and spoke.
"No... but I do have his Cell phone number. Why don't you call him and ask where he is." He replied. He got out a pen from his front shirt pocket and wrote down some numbers. "Here you go" He said again handing me the paper.
"Thanks" I replied giving a small smile off. I turned around and hesitantly dialed his number. One ring... Two rings... Three rings... click.
"Hello" It was him. It was Leon again. All the times I spent with him just flashed through my head as he asked again. "Hello..."
"Hey.. do you know who this is" I asked. He made a hmmm... to me and I wondered what he was thinking.
"You voice sounds SO familiar." He replied. He recognizes me.
"It's me Ada" I told him. All I heard was silence. except for the sound of a couple people talking into the background.
"Ada? How did you get my number? Nevermind, how are things going" He asked. I started feeling like i was in a better mood. Moving the hair from my eyes I responded.
"Just fine. I'm here with the President and he gave it to me. Seems you told alot of storys." I replied.
"Just a few. So what's up" He asked seeming like he wanted to get to the point.
"Can I talk to you in person" I asked in a semi serious tone.
"What like right now" he asked in a surprising voice. "Can we meet a little later. I'm with a bunch of friends." He asked.
"Well can I atleast come see you" I asked. "I don't like standing here with these people" I told him in a whisper. I looked at Jack and the President to make sure they didn't hear anything.
"Sure I guess, We are at a Bar called Jay's Bar. All you have to do is take your first right leaving the White house and take the 3rd left and go all the way down til you see it." He told me happily. He sounded like he was in a very good mood.
"Ok, I'll see you soon." I replied with a smile. Why do I feel so glad to meet Leon? Even at Europe I was so happy to see him.
Moments Later
Jack drove me to the bar. I slowly got out of Jack's car when we arrived, and waved to jack. He gave me a small wave and drove off. I walked to the doors and rested my hand on the door knob. What if Leon doesn't care? What if Leon's buddys don't accept me? I wonder if he told them already that I'm working for Wesker? Fear caused me to hesitate but I forced myself to open the door and walked in.
I was quickly eyed by a lot of people. I looked around as if I was a lost little girl who couldn't find her mommy in Wal-Mart. Then I saw Leon in a booth with two other guys and a girl. I decided to head over towards them. When I had gotten half way there Leon caught me in the corner of his eye and looked at me. He had a big grin on his face.I couldn't help but give a small giggle at his silly facial expression. He waved for me to come over and so I did.
"Ada! come sit here on the end." He prompted me the empty seat at the end of the table. I sat in it and Leon patted the man to his right on the shoulder. "Ada this is Barry, and that's Carlos, and this is Claire. guys this is Ada." Barry, looking alot like Bruce Willis gave me a wave, and Carlos with 9 inch brown hair and well built body gave me a nod. And Claire gave me a little smirk.
"We have heard so much about you from Leon, But he didn't tell us you looked dropped dead gorgeous" Carlos said to me. I gave off a small blush but responded in a sort of serious tone.
"I'm sure he didn't tell you alot" I gave a little wink. Then Leon grabbed my hand which rested on the table and guided me toward a different area of the bar.
"I'm going to introduce her to some other people, be back soon guys." Leon told the three previously at the table.
"Ok we won't be gone too soon" Claire replied happily. he directed me towards some of the people dancing.
"Hey Jill, Chris" They stopped dancing when Leon spoke their names. They turned to look at him then towars my direction.
"Hey whose she" Jill asked with a smile. Chris waved to me. I just nodded back
"This is Ada. The one who helped me in Racoon City, as well as in Europe" Leon replied to Jill's question. Jill came to shake my hand and I returned it with my right hand, but she stuck out her left. We both switched hands at the same time. Then she laughed as so did I.
"Difficult are we" I told Jill. She just smiled back and looked at Leon.
"She seems very nice." Jill told Leon.
"So I hear you can literally kick my ass." Chris told me. I just gave him a question looked then steered it in Leon's direction.
"It's an inside thing" Leon told me. and just gave a little laugh. Leon stuck out a open hand with his palm facing up towards me. "Want to dance" he asked. I just tilted my head and gave him a questioning smile. "What? Am I just that damn sexy" Leon asked me.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night" I replied. And Leon just smiled. I placed my hand in his and he pulled me closer. I put my hands around his neck and he put his hands on my waste. "Hey watch it buddy, hands above the belt line" I told Leon with a wink.
"You seem different." He told me with a smile.
"What do you mean exactly" I asked questioning.
"I don't know, You don't seem all serious like you usually are." He told me. I just thought about it for a second, and decided not to reply, because I had no idea what to say. "So... what did you need to talk to me about" he asked. "Is it about you know who" He continued
"If I think I know who you are talking about, then yes." I answered. Leon gave a deep in thought look. "Did you tell any of them that I work for him." I asked.
"No, lets talk about this later at my place ok" He asked. I gave him a questioning look.
"At the White house" I asked.
"Huh? oh yeah. You looked into the phone book didn't you. That was just to better insure my safety." He replied. thoughts of what I should do entered my head as i looked down at my collar. I couldn't help but show some depressed look. "Hey, something wrong" He asked.
"I'm fine." I lied to him. He just gave me a nod, and I could tell he knew I was lying.
"Come on lets go." he commanded me. We stopped dancing and I followed him towards the front door. Leon stopped and turned around to wave goodbye to everyone. I waved as well to all of them. Leon walked outside and hit his keys to unlock his car. "cluck cluck" the car gave off. So Leon drives in style, I saw a nice Farari and got into the passenger seat at the same time he entered the driver's.
"It's nice to see you again Ada." He told me out of the blue while he went to start his engine. He dropped his keys clumsily onto my side of the car. I reached down to retrieve it the same time he did, and we happened to clash heads into one another. "Doh" was all he gave off and I just rubbed my head. When I turned my head to look at Leon his face was but two to three inches from mine. I saw him moving closer, but I just pulled away when thoughts of decisions entered my head. I sighed...
"We should just go..." I repied. I almost kissed Leon... He has been so nice to me. He even lied or sort of didn't tell his friends too much about me to protect me. Why did I pull back? Do I love him? My thoughts started to give me a migrain as Leon spoke.
"Right..." He said putting the key in the ignition the right way this time.
