By the time Chris and his partner tore the device free from her chest she instantly felt the need to grieve, to mourn, to cry. Because she knew that meant the two had gotten past him and that meant…

"Ha ha, I told yous two that there was an even bigger surprise!"

Jill Valentine had to resist the urge to pinch herself before she turned around to see…

No, that's impossible. He's—

Chris scowled in annoyance, "Shut it—"

"Irving!"

The odd trio blinked simultaneously as, suddenly, the businessman 'with standards' was engulfed in a hug by, who used to be, his and Excella's unwilling guardian. If Chris and Sheva were shocked by the woman's actions then there was no telling how surprised the Brooklyn man felt.

"What?"

"Jill? What the hell?"

Said woman, as if awoken abruptly from a dream, started and pulled away from the man but wasn't able to get very far since there was an arm securely wrapped around her waist. As her attention shifted back to him (more precisely to his face) she found that Irving was staring at her with that look.
