"Good to see you're still alive, man." Forest greeted his casual annoying smirk planted on his cocky face. He had just entered the Alphas office sector to meet his friend who instantly raised his gaze from his reports,"What the hell are you doing here?" Chris muttered in disbelieve.

"I thought your oh so glorious captain had killed you on your way home 'cos you didn't call me on Saturday." Forest said matter-of-factly, making Chris furrow his brows. "Of course you looked like you had drunk the whole bar empty when you left but your hangover couldn't have been that bad... I think."

"Nice to hear you're so worried about me, Forest, but no thank you." Chris interrupted Forest before the man would totally forgot they were in the office and they were supposed to be working, not talking about their weekend or hangovers."I just wanted to be alone, that's all. Not to mention, a weekend without you isn't so bad as you might think. You better get going, I think I heard Wesker coming back." Chris smirked but Forest didn't see it, he had instantly turned his gaze at the door where he came in and then to the backdoor.

"Where..." Forest began and then understood,"Haha, very funny... Okay, you won this one. I can clearly see who gets in trouble if Wesker or Enrico finds out we're not exactly doing what we're supposed to do." The Bravo's sharpshooter said and then sighed like getting in trouble would be Chris's fault. There was a short silence and glaring between those two men, Chris had known Forest long enough to know Forest was about to say more. The man had some reason to be there right now, not just because the man was so "worried" about him.

Forest sat on Chris's table surface and a couple of Chris's important papers fell on the floor. Chris raised an eyebrow again but Forest pretended he didn't see it and began talking,"...Well, hmm...yeah... I kinda doubt that you won't be too offended if you get into your captain's office again..." Forest started teasingly but Chris interrupted.

"Cut it off, that's not funny." Chris snapped back at Forest who obviously didn't get the fact Chris didn't really appreciate his childlish "Chrissy likes his boss" jokes. Forest was a good fellow but the man didn't really know when to stop. Chris had had enough about that joke last week... To make sure Forest would shut his mouth for good and go back to Bravo's own office sector, Chris decided to use his best card in their game. It always worked, in any situation.

Forest and money. An equation which never worked.

"How much money did you bet anyways?" Chris began and pretended he was very interested in his reports which he still had on his desk, "How about if you give all that money to me? You own me that much and you know that."

"Are you blackmailing me? That's illegal, y'know." Chris raised his eyes from his reports just to smirk at his best friend, Forest shook his head: "You got to be kidding me... you can't be serious. I paid your drinks!"

"That was very kind of you, but tell me, how much exactly?" The other Alphas had been watching their chatting a while now but now everyone seemed very interested in what Forest was about to say. Chris leaned back on his chair and gave Forest his most annoying smile: "So, how is it?"

"Damn you... you're not even serious." Forest stood up and almost ran out of the Alpha's office sector. When the door was completely shut after Forest, the whole Alpha team started laughing. Chris smiled too but didn't feel like laughing like others. He was still pissed off about the whole idiomatic bet, but simultaneously he didn't really want to think it anymore. He was done with it and he hoped everyone would forget it as soon as possible... and the next time bet about something else than their captain's and colleague's sexuality. Cars or horses would be a good one, Chris thought while he waited his teammates to stop laughing and collected his important papers which still were on the floor.

Chris saw Jill looking at him in the corner of his eye. She looked like she didn't see anything funny about the whole matter and was embarrased for her teammates behavior. She must had been the only one who had been against the whole idea from the start, Chris noted and sat behind his desk.

It was less than ten minutes after Forest had left the room until Alpha's captain entered the room. Everyone's smile fade away but it wasn't a suprise: the captain didn't really look pleased. Chris saw Wesker looking straight at him and he almost had time to fear Wesker wanted their discussion in his office now. They hadn't had that just yet, mostly because this was the first time that day when Chris saw the man. Where had the man been?

"I've heard you still have some sort of problems with professional behavior." Wesker said to everyone in the room and had his arms crossed over his chest. Chris sighed in relief: Wesker wasn't there because of him. Chris noticed that none of his team mates dared to talk or move - like they had just before the captain had entered the room. Wesker's gaze wandered around, examinating everyone who sat there behind their desk and waited his words to effect. Laughing isn't illegal but Wesker didn't want his subordinates start taking their job for granted. They were a respected special unit and as a captain he waited his subordinates act like it.

"But that's not the main reason why I'm here." Wesker said in casual tone. Now Chris heard everyone let out a little sigh of relief. They had survived with a warning, for now.

Chris noticed Wesker had some documents in his hands. The captain read couple of lines from the papers until he spoke again, "The previous week was very quiet, S.T.A.R.S wasn't needed for police operations as much as usual and I suppose you all noticed it. Of course if you weren't too busy with unprofessional suggestions and gambling." Wesker turned one page under another. There was a deadly silence after Wesker had said his comment but the captain acted like he didn't notice a thing, like usual, "This week will be different. Today morning I was contacted by R.P.D and they had a case for us, a murder case. We can assume that there's a serial killer in Raccoon City." Wesker raised his gaze from his papers to see if there was any reaction to his words. There was still a silence but now it was more like a curious one. They usually got more drug investigation and hostage situations, but it wasn't bizarre to have a case like this. And when they had, the police and detectives had to be in trouble.

"Three men were killed in two weeks. The first two deaths didn't seem to have any connection but the third victim made the police suspect these murders are connected afterall. The third and the second victim lived in the same apartment building. The weapon and style are the same in the third and the first murder. They all were young white men, native Americans, and they all lived alone." He turned a page again, "Adam Wilson, the first victim, was found on the street by a passer-by. He had several bruises, obviously he had been abused before or after his death, and he had been stabbed to the heart and pelvis. Nate Brightfall, the second victim, was strangled. At first the police believed he had committed suicide. However there was no suicide letter in the apartment where he had been found, or even a potential suicide weapon or a motive to kill himself... But we still don't know whether his death is a part and parcel of this case but because he lived so near the third victim, Matthew Brown, we have to take a closer look." An another page turning, "As I said before, Brown was killed just like the first victim, found bruised and stabbed to the heart and pelvis, and he lived in the same apartment building as the second victim Brightfall. The murderer has left no obvious signs after him, or her, and we don't know the motive behind these murders."

Wesker raised eyes from his papers and tilted his head to the side, "I'd say it's our job to find out who did this and why. I want Jill and Brad to go to the police station and meet the detectives for more details, Barry and Joseph, you go to meet the pathologist. She will take a look to the third victim at 13:10 today, the victim was murdered last night." Then Wesker looked straight at Chris, "I want to see the apartments where the two murders happened and talk with the neighbours, Chris, you're coming with me."

Chris nodded and like everyone in the room, he instantly went to the locker room to collect his vest and other equipment. Chris heard Brad next to him mumbling something about how he hated missions like this, Chris wondered was there anything he didn't hate in his job. As much as Chris loved solving mysteries - like this murder case - and saving people, Brad seemed to hate everything out of usual reports writing and being their helicopter pilot. Chris shook his head, he wouldn't be too suprised if Brad's nature lead them to problems. But Chris didn't want to think Brad more, he was Jill's problem now and rest of the day. His problem was... Wesker.

When Chris finally managed out of the office, Wesker was already waiting him in the car. Chris didn't know what to think. Last time when he had been in that car, he had thought his captain's features and thought... other things. Chris closed the door after him and Wesker started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.

The silence between two men disturbed Chris. Wesker just drove, just like he should, but Chris waited him to start the conversation about the last weekend. Wesker hadn't forgotten, Chris was sure about it, and it wasn't a coincidence that Wesker had ordered him as his partner. Wesker always had a reason for everything.

"Is it far from here?" Chris said in casual tone, the reality was that he's heart pulsed wildly in his chest when he said those words.

"No, it's not far away." Had he heard amusement in his captain's voice tone? Chris didn't know was the man playing with him or what, but it started to annoy him. Did the man wait HIM to start the conversation? When he thought about it, it would explain Wesker's actions the most. He decided to give it a shot.

"Umm.. I remember you wanted to talk with me today, sir?" That was all Chris was about to say at first but he couldn't leave it just that. "I apologize my actions. I had drunk too much and I didn't really control myself." It wasn't his first time when he had apologized his actions, but this time was still different: this was more personal, not about a mission.

"So.. it seems you remember afterall." Yup, it was amused tone Wesker used. Did Wesker think this was funny or what?

"Yes, but I'm not so proud of it." Chris admitted. He kept his eyes locked on Wesker's face. Why the man had to wear those sunglasses? Without them it would be a lot easier to read his captain's expressions.

Chris felt very uncomfortable while sitting there.

Wesker didn't. He had waited this moment.

His plans for this day had ruined when he had had that call from R.P.D. His plans for his subordinate after the working hours... all ruined. But now it seemed that there was still opportunities. Chris remembered a lot more than he had even imagined: obviously almost everything. The boy wouldn't have apologized if he hadn't remembered his actions towards him. Perhaps the boy had wanted him more desperately than Wesker had guessed? Chris seemed nervous, but not at all so embarrassed as Wesker had thought he would be, and it was only a good thing for his newest plan which he pushed together in his mind.

Chris's nervousness only amused Wesker more. The boy entertained him, he always had. That was the main reason why he even paid attention to this thirteen years younger male. Of course there was also other things why he liked the boy. Chris had many appreciated, and sometimes troublesome, charasteristics: he was a strong, defiant and determinated fighter and also always ready to save a life. No doubt that Chris's stubborness had caused him many problems but he still didn't count it as a bad characteristic. Chris balanced him... and the boy was his best man in team. Wesker didn't care what Irons wanted him to do: he wouldn't fire the man even though he might be able to cause even greater problems to Umbrella in future. Wesker decided who was in his team and who wasn't, not Irons.

Maybe he already was a little obsessed about the man next to him...

"You don't need to be proud, or sorry about what you did." Wesker stated and began to slow down the car. Chris didn't notice what Wesker was about to do at first, he was all too confused. Wesker sounded like he hadn't minded to be kissed by a man...

"But, uh, I want to be sorry... sir," Chris added quickly, "it wasn't my purpose to..." What was he doing? He only made it worse!

"To do what, Christopher?" The car had stopped on the edge of the road and now Wesker looked straight at him. Had Wesker called him by his full name? Chris blinked his eyes and wasn't able to say a word. Wesker took his shades off and repeated his question, now more slowly and seductive: "To do what?"

Chris opened his mouth to answer but he just stared back at Wesker's eyes. Chris noted quickly that he had never seen such a cold eyes before, they were slightly green, like a frozen leaf. Wesker stared back at Chris's confused eyes and couldn't stop himself smirking.

It all happened very quickly. Or that's what Chris thought. Wesker grapped Chris' chin and pulled him closer. Chris didn't have time to react to the sudden movement, he only heard his captain mumble: "Maybe this?"

Wesker was a lot better kisser than he was...
