Chapter 7

Leon walked to the hospital's canteen, where he usually have his breakfast if Janet didn't get t anything for them. He took his breakfast and spotted the rest of the gang at table in far back. He walked towards the table to join them. Claire scooted to make space for him and he let out a sigh sitting next to her. Everyone was really quiet even John, who seemed to be in a deep thought process, it was evident that everyone was disappointed beyond anything.

"Hey", Rebecca said sitting down next to Jill.
"Any progress?", John asked her seriously.
"No", Rebecca said with a sigh, "And it would take a lot of time before she remembers stuff."
"How much exactly?", Jill asked her.
"Days, weeks, months", Rebecca said being totally unsure about it.
"Well its better if we don't think about it", David said joining being totally practical about it, "I mean its like the failed infiltration method, you can't really do anything about it."

Everyone agreed with him but it didn't make them feel any better. The breakfast wasn't that lively but it that quiet either as we began to talk about trivial among ourselves. And once they were done with it they all headed their way to get to work. Leon got to the parking and as he unlocked his car he heard someone call his name. He turned to see John almost running to catch up with him. He stood at the spot waiting for John to get to him.

"Give me a ride, David wants me to hand this file to the President", John said panting a little.
"Oh alright", Leon said in response nodding a little and they both got in the car.

They stopped at the signal and it was taking quite lot of time because of the early morning rush. John complained about being in traffic and cursed David for sending him out to work. Leon couldn't help but laugh a little at his complaining like a child. Their talk turned to more trivial things when Leon got a call from Hunnigan and he told her he was stuck in a bad traffic. He was telling her to replace him with someone for the time being when he noticed something or more of someone in the rear view

"SHIT", Leon cursed out so loud that John literally jumped in his seat, "I got some work Hunnigan. I'd call you later."
"Le…", she was saying as Leon disconnected .
"Leon what the…?" John was saying as he followed him out of the car
"She escaped again", Leon told him scanning the crowd looking for the woman again.

Leon knew for sure he saw her and that it wasn't a figment of his imagination because he saw her in the same combat suit that she was wearing when they first met. He ran in the direction where he saw her. And soon enough spotted her as she looked back, maybe to see if someone was following her and in the process she spotted Leon and John and made a run in the opposite direction.

"How did she…", John was saying as she ran into an alleyway, "Leave it to me, I've got a plan."

The woman ran down the alley with Leon following her closely. She picked up pace, turning one corner after another, she was well aware of these alleys, it wasn't too hard to for her to lose her pursuers. She looked back to see that no one was following her anymore and she sighed in relief. And then she almost skidded to a halt as she spotted Leon standing in front. Not wasting anymore time she turned her back on him and ran back the way she came from but John blocked her way. As if she knew it would happen she turned to her right and ran in that direction. Now again she found John blocking her way and Leon at back. She ran to her left and Leon's right which was John's left.

"I got her kid there's no way further from there. She won't be able to escape this time", John shouted to Leon while following her in small alley way. Even though there was no way ahead the woman kept running to the all, 'what is she gonna do? Go through the wall', John thought to himself as he followed so he could catch her. He was at an arm's length from her and she was about to bump into the wall but after that what he saw he didn't believe his eyes. She sort of ran up on the wall to some steps and then did a sort of back flip and jump over John's head. "Hey I thought that only happen in the movies", he talked to himself not believing what he had just seen.

Leon saw the girl running away from the small alley, he saw what happened with John but was too far to catch her so all he could do was chase her again into another alley. Once again she ran into a dead end, this path was blocked by a huge fence. Leon was just behind her; when he saw this he waited for a moment to catch his breath, "this time you won't be getting away, there's no way forward and wearing those heels will make that back flip stunt of yours useless with this fence around", he can't be more impressed of himself to corner her like that. He walked towards her casually saying, "You have to come with us now."

Leon casually walked up to her and was about to get hold of her arm, when she ducked down and executed a perfect low spin kick. He wasn't expecting this offensive action fell flat on his back. She took the opportunity and tried to run past him but he caught hold of her leg and pulled her leg to stop her from getting away. She supported herself with her hands and did a couple of somersault to get back on her feet and at a considerable distance away from him and Leon took this time to get back to his feet.

Now both of them were facing each other. Leon charged forward to get hold of her but she dodged, so he caught hold of her other hand. She tried to punch him with her other hand but Leon caught it too. She stepped on his foot hard. He cried in pain but didn't let go. She caught hold of his collar and Leon saw her head move towards him in slow motion, 'Is she going to kiss me to escape', before he could understand anything she hit him hard on his head with her head. He let go of her and held his head. They both staggered for a moment when Leon was able to take in surroundings.

"Kid did you get her?", John yelled to Leon and the woman looked back to spot him behind her.

Leon took this chance and charged forward and John tried to catch her off guard from behind. Leon reached her first but this time she caught hold of his hand, just as John reached there. She still holding onto Leon's hand stepped on John's thigh getting a leverage to step on shoulder as if climbing a ladder and again did a somersault and back flip together getting behind him, so that John was between her and Leon. To put the cherry on cake she pushed John from behind hard letting go of Leon's hand. Both the men fall, Leon on his back with John on top of him.

John, get off me, it feels awkwardly gay-ish", Leon said annoyed pushing John off him.

"Agreed", John said getting off him as they watched the woman make a run for it.

Leon wasn't ready to give up yet and yelled to her, "HEY YOU. LET'S TAKE IT ONE-ON-ONE", Leon was now removing his jacket. She turned and shot a glance at Leon, she then ran towards him. He read her move and blocked her left punch and as he blocked her punch; he realized that she made him read her so that she can execute her actual move which was getting hold of his right gun which was left to her. She drew his left gun with her right hand while at the same moment he drew his right gun with his right hand. Now both of them were at the gun point of eachother not to mention one of their hands was blocked by the other.

"Kid she can shoot you, you know", John told him concerned.
"Not this time John, she can't shoot me down this time", Leon replied smiling at the woman who had a rigid expression on her face, "Common now we just want some answers. We just want to know what you took from that facility?" She kept her silence and was still pointing gun to Leon's face. So he continued, "Why are you doing this? We are fighting for the same thing, we could use each other's help."

Leon felt something dripping down his hand which was clutched tightly over the girls wrist, he ignored it assuming it to be sweat but then felt pain in his palm and when he looked at it, it was blood; she was wearing a metal bracelet and Leon clutched her wrist so tight that the bracelet,cut both his palm and her wrist. He let go of her hand immediately but didn't moved from his position neither did she. John aimed his gun at her head, even then she didn't move a muscle.

"You're cornered girl", John said to her seriously, "Come with us or…"
"Just go ahead and shoot me", she said in a cool tone.
"Are you deaf we just want some answers", John almost yelled frustrated.
"Why? Are you afraid of killing me? You don't even know how to use a gun. Watch and learn", She withdrew the gun from Leon's head and aimed it on her own head instead.
"She's not gonna do that kid relax", John said to Leon as if telling that to himself too.
"I should have done this long time ago", she said and put her hand on the trigger. Leon moved fast and deflected her hand before she pulled the trigger and took the gun away from her.

She collapsed to the ground Leon bent down to her, "its okay, we're in no hurry. You can take your time but you have to come with us 'cause we wanna know what're in those vials which you were holding in the forest", Leon said and saw John roll his eyes at this sentence because both of them knew once she was in HQ she would be under high security and would be asked many questions even if he and John decided not to ask her (until she's ready for it); they couldn't convince everyone in the facility and even if they got everybody convinced , who's gonna convince the Chiefs of other Organization and not to mention the President, this time may be they would have to tighten security on her, if she can fool US agents then she can fool anyone.

The woman looked up at the mention of the word 'vials' and their eyes meet and Leon felt little uncomfortable but didn't move then she asked, "Have you got them?"
"Yes", Leon replied he would have said more if she hadn't cut him in the middle.
"How many?" she asked more than interested in the topic.
"I think all of it minus three four vials", Leon answered her shrugging, not really sure how many but Rebecca did say they were keeping the rest of the samples till they figure it out what they were exactly.
"How many of each", she asked again and as if getting the point that Leon didn't understand, she continued, "they're of four colors red, purple, green and blue, how many of each?", she repeated herself.
"I don't know about them but I am sure one of each is left for you to explain", Leon told her.

"Okay I will come with you but I have get something first", she told them standing up. Leon couldn't believed his ears he looked up to John who was giving him the same expression then his expressions changed and became the one that congratulated him on his success to convince her to come but he wasn't sure if he did convince her not.
"Okay we can…", Leon was about to tell her that they can take his car but she cut him.
"No need, it's not far away we can reach there on foot", she snapped at him starting to move

They soon reached an old apartment building which was mostly used by middle class family or rented to other people for making some income, the perfect place to find all sorts of people and diseases. They went inside the building. Someone shouted again, "Hey you are back again?! You know even though you have rented this place you don't show up to live here", said a creepy old man to the woman, "You know the last time you were here was the day when you rented my flat."
"So what's your problem it's not like that I don't pay your rent", she snapped at the man.
"No it's alright but I thought you didn't want…", he was cut in the middle of his sentence.
"Look I have no time to discuss flat problem right now take this I am leaving this place", she handed him a bundle of 100$ bills. At this the old man couldn't say a word but just kept shooting gazes towards the girl and then the money, "Are you coming or not", she called out to them from the foot of stairs.
"Can't we take the elevator or something", John complained.
"Not if you want to live", she said in a pretty casual manner.

They reached in front of the flat which seemed as if it wasn't opened for years. She took the key from her pocket as if she visited daily and then opened the door. They entered the drawing room of that rusty apartment. The inside didn't look as if it was abandoned the day it was rented, it looked somebody stayed there.

"Oh it's you; you know I got a little scared that they have found me. It's been a long time since I last saw you I was starting to get worried", the words were spoken by a blonde female as she came from other side of the hall.
"What's the problem? Is supplies running low?", the woman asked the blonde.
"No, the supplies are fine. I was just wondering whether you were…", she stopped in mid sentence as she noticed Leon and John.
"Don't worry they're not from…", the woman tried to say but the blonde cut her in between.
"I know them. They are Leon and John", she told her sounding excited, looking the two guys. Leon and John didn't understand how she knew them and tried looked at each other to silently ask if the other knew her but the blank and puzzled expression on their faces told them that they were both as clueless as each other.
