Before either of them knew it they were both leaning in to each other ready to claim each other's lips as their own.

BANG BANG BANG

The banging on the door made Sherry and Jake jump. Jake glared at the door and walked over to open it. Upon opening it an unfamiliar red haired woman was standing there, a frown on her face.

'Claire!' Sherry exclaimed before Jake could ask who the fuck this woman was and why did she bang his door in the middle of the night. He looked at the women with indifference as they embraced each other in a loving hug. Jake knew now who Claire was, seeing as Sherry rarely shut up about the red headed heroine.

'Sherry I'm glad you're here!' Claire exclaimed smiling at the blonde. 'But um I need you to sit down. Both of you' She said as she turned around to face Jake. Jake looked at Sherry before grunting and leading the women into the living room. Claire waited for an invitation before sitting down, Jake was glad of her manners, it was hard to find women who had them nowadays, and he waved his hand in a gesture for her to sit down. Once all three were sitting Claire began to speak.

'Chris told me that you were to go with Leon tomorrow on the infiltration of Neo-Umbrella in the Western area, the small town of Nether?' Sherry nodded nervously 'That's not why I'm here but I just want to say that I hope you are safe and look after yourself.'

Jake scoffed. 'I thought you people thought Leon was a hero and could do no wrong?' He stated earning himself a glare from Claire.

'Leon is human. He has his weaknesses, one in particular.' Claire said her voice dripping with venom Sherry winced she knew how much Claire despised Leon's, um weakness. Jake just smirked and turned his head away' he was getting pissed off with all this, why could people not interrupt him.

'Anyway' Claire continued: 'I'm here to ask that Jake join me in an infiltration of our own. We will be leaving tonight.'

Jake turned to look at her, his eyes narrowing.

'No' he replied

'Why not!' Sherry and Claire exclaimed simultaneously. Jake closed his eyes and folded his arms, sighing he said:

'Because I don't believe in working with a group load of people all following orders like dogs. I was a mercenary and I did what I had to too get food on the table. I didn't know the people I worked with.' He opened his eyes and stared at the women: 'Those days are over. I moved here to America to enjoy myself. Besides I now have plenty of money and I intend to spend it here.'

Sherry suddenly looked furious while Claire sighed.

'Okay Kid' she said getting up: 'Sherry, be safe.' And with that the woman left leaving Jake to sit in front of an angry looking Sherry. This was not going to be good

'What' He said getting pissed off at her angry stare.

'So what in our time together you learnt nothing?' She questioned him. Jake turned to look at her and sighed.

'Enough of this saving the world bullshit. I've done my part and millions of people were saved, isn't that enough?' Jake asked. He had suffered through various tests all because of his blood, and even gave up on becoming a millionaire because of his sudden change of heart. Sure he had enough money to live comfortably but it would be nice to off had a mansion with a dozen fancy cars and bikes.

'Jake.' Sherry said his name quietly. There she goes again, saying his name like that. It drove Jake crazy how one person could have him so under their control.

'Fine!' He exclaimed, throwing his arms up in the air: 'We'll go and finish this' He turned around in time to see Sherry jump up and embrace him.

'We'll finish this together' She said, her voice just above a whisper. Jake knew how important saving the world was to Sherry, she has been living with the fear of bio-terrorism for much too long now.

'Yeah, and after this is all done we can get on with our lives' Jake said patting Sherry on the back, he looked down at her wondering if she will get what he meant. Sherry looked up at him, their eyes met; Jake could see and understanding of his meaning in her blue eyes and Sherry smiled, Jake returned the smile with a smirk of his own.

'Well' Sherry said, 'I guess I had better get going then' she let go of Jake and walked over towards the door where her shoes were thrown carelessly in the corner.

'Why?' Jake questioned turning around and bending over to grab a piece of leftover pizza on the floor. He looked over at Sherry as he threw himself onto the couch and turned on the TV.

'Because you will be leaving soon' She stated in a matter of fact, she turned to look at the man lying on the couch

'That doesn't mean you can't stay. Take of your shoes woman and come and eat the rest of this food.' He said taking another bite of his pizza. Sherry chuckled and joined the red headed man on the sofa

'Yes. He will be joining me tonight' The red headed woman said with a smirk to the person on the other side of the room. She was currently situated in a hotel room, the only light coming from a lamp which was right beside her. The room itself was very nicely decorated, a five star hotel definitely. The king sized bed was in the corner of the room, the covers on it were neat as the occupier had not touched the bed yet. The TV and dvd player where switched off at the wall, and the door to the bathroom was closed. The person she was talking to was facing away from her, standing in the darkness; being in a fancy hotel room like this did not bother them, they did not want to indulge themselves in some pampering, they just wanted answers. And now.

'So he will be out of the way soon enough' The voice said, the tone was indifferent as if they didn't really care what would happened in this situation.

'Yes' She smiled: 'I will make sure that he is not harmed if that is what you wish?'

'No. Make sure he is alive, but be sure to rough him up a little. Dogs must be beaten to be trained you know'

'Of course master' The red headed woman said picking up her gun from the table and holstering it. 'I will not let you down' She said bowing to the person and walking out the door.'

The stranger laughed, a cold heartless laugh and looked out the window, seeing the blinding lights of the traffic of cars speed up and down the street and the dim lights of the streetlights. Soon it will be theirs, this world, and Jake.

Jake answered the door to Claire, who smiled and came on in to his house, she turned around to speak but he put his finger to his mouth and shushed her, nodding in the direction of the living room. Claire looked past him to see Sherry fast asleep on the couch. She smiled and gestured to him to follow her.

'One moment' He whispered: 'I'll meet you outside'

Claire nodded and left the apartment, closing the door quietly behind her.

Jake took a moment to look around his apartment, taking in his surroundings before resting his eyes on the tired blonde on his couch. Sighing he walked quietly over towards her and gazed down upon her, she was fast asleep and he didn't want to wake her, but sleeping on her sofa all night surely wouldn't be the most comfortable option. Jake bent down and scooped the petite blonde into his arms and lifted her up. He headed slowly towards his bedroom careful not to wake her.

Upon entering his bedroom he set her gently on his bed, earning a sigh from the blonde as she stretched out in her sleep. He walked over towards his cupboard and took out a clean sheet and draped it over her. She looked so peaceful. He bent down and gently placed a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room, swearing that he heard her mumble his name before he closed the door.

'Right' He said as he closed the door to his apartment and turned to Claire: 'Where are we going?'

'Crank-Co, It's a nights drive from here but you are the closest person that lives near it, that's why I asked you along' Jake shrugged that seemed the smartest idea. Jake followed Claire into her car and they drove off.

They rode together in silence; Jake stared out the window for most of the journey. He thought about Sherry and how she was asleep in his bed right now, oh how he has fantasied about her sleeping in his bed for months now; and he was currently on a mission with her best friend.

Jake shot a glance at Claire, she was focusing on the road; not even the radio was on. Jake was guessing that she was thinking about the upcoming mission.

'We're here' Claire said turning off the engine. Jake glanced outside; they seemed to be at an abandoned factory. It was about time, Jake was tired; they didn't even stop for breakfast. He looked at the sun that was now rising over the trees, thinking if Sherry would be away by now.

'All right' He said, getting out of the car and slamming the door shut. He grabbed his pistol and walked behind Claire as they entered the factory.

Total darkness surrounded the area, the smell of concrete and dust wafted in the air, before Jake knew it he heard a gun cock, he turned around to see Claire holding a gun to his head.

'What the fuck!' Jake demanded: 'What the hell do you think you're doing?!'

Claire laughed a cruel sinister laugh, 'Oh this went perfectly!' Jake glared at the red headed woman

'Sherry trusted you, and you turned out to be nothing but a bastard'

Claire laughed again; 'Oh do you really think I am that red headed bitch' Before Jake knew it 'Claire' was transforming into a brown haired man, he wore a black and white tux and had cold red eyes. The man grinned at Jake.

Jake was about to charge and beat the shit out of the man when he held up a remote,

'Now now now. Temper, temper' He said grinning, Jake let out a snarl and leaped at the man but before he knew it he man disappeared in a puff of smoke

'What is this? A magic show!' Jake shouted. He heard a jeering laugh behind him and looked up to see the man standing on the balcony.

'Jake my dear man, you have so much potential but alas you waste it on the wrong side. But not for long. Soon all who oppose us will be…killed, starting with the G virus host and her little police friend.'

'Sherry?! You fucking touch her and I will break your neck you little shit' The man just laughed as Jake aimed his gun at him.

'You fool, I don't want to hurt her, and she will be my puppet following my strings. Now, time to play little one' The man pressed a button on the remote and the shutters around the factory all opened revealing J'avo all armed with knives and machetes. Jake fired a few rounds at the man but they seemed to pass through him like water. Jake cursed as he was forced to draw his attention to the J'avo who was descending onto him.

Jake shot two J'avo clean in the head and turned to grab another, he grabbed the knife from the J'avo's hand and plunged it into his head. He then ran and jumped onto another one's back dragging him to the ground where he started to punch his head, satisfied when he heard the sickening crunch he jumped up and grabbed two more J'avo bashing their heads together.

He then heard gun shots; he turned around to see 'Claire' shooting at the J'avo surrounding him. Jake decided to take his chances with this 'Claire' and continued to beat the remaining J'avo with his fists, feeling that it would satisfy his anger more so than using a gun would. What seemed like an eternity passed and finally they were all dead. Jake looked up to see that the man was gone, as he expected; he cursed and spat on the ground in anger. Then he turned and pulled his gun on 'Claire'

'Claire' held her hands up and dropped her gun to the floor

'It really is me' She said but Jake did not back down. Claire, getting impatient sighed: 'Sherry's favourite colour is blue, she loves watching old black and white romance movies and eating raw cookie dough. Country music will always make her cry' she said. Jake lowered her gun and glared at her:

'What the fuck just happened?!' He demanded, 'how did that guy transform into you?!'

'I don't know all I know is that they want you and will use Sherry to get to you'

'Let me guess' Jake said condescendingly: 'You want me to forget about Sherry and go back and hide with your little group. Maybe the BSAA can be my babysitters?'

'Hell no' Claire said glaring at him. 'We are going to get Sherry back'

Jake was impressed, in the past couple of months anytime he was in danger people would tell him to get back and hide, as he must be protected. Claire was not like this, she wanted him to help her.

'How did you know I was here anyway?' Jake asked earning a smirk from Claire.

'There's a select few of us, those who have the most experience in bio-terrorism, who have started to go after Neo-Umbrella. Some of us from the BSAA, some of us from Terra-Save like me. Anyway Sherry wanted you to be a part of this, so we have been tracking you for a short period of time to see if you were up to the task. We were alerted when you left your building with me last night, as I was currently meant to be elsewhere. A quick scan of the registration brought us here.'

'Wow, forget bio-terrorism you should be a detective' Jake said sarcastically.

'Enough talking we need to go' Claire said walking out the door.

'Yeah no shit' Jake said following after her.
