The big reunion

Jill realized that man was the governor. He seemed to ignore their presence, he just stared at Chris and motioned to his men. Four guards approached Chris and one of them hit him in the stomach. Because of his injury pain, Chris fell to his knees.

"No!" Jill was a few steps behind Chris and had no time to avoid some kicks and punches, but as soon as she approached them she tried to get in front of Chris, but she was held by one of the soldiers, then she yelled "Stop it!"

"Stop it." Wesker ordered his man. He looked at Jill with curiosity and surprise, but he said nothing to her, he turned to Chris. "Where is my map?"

In pain, Chris took his hand in his shorts and pulled out a crumpled and dirty parchment, handing it to one of the men. The guard approached Wesker handing him the parchment.

"You almost destroyed my precious. Tell me everything you know about this language and I'll spare your life. I no longer want your services, captain."

"Nob..." Chris coughed and grimaced before continuing "Nobody can read it, there is no way I can teach someone that fast. And about these codes... neither I completely understand them, you will not find anyone to replace me."

"I'll find another one who can read and someone who understands these codes. In this case your life does not interest me anymore." Wesker took the soldier's sword and approached Chris.

"No!" Jill threw herself on her knees by Wesker's feet. She knew at that moment fighting would not be a good option, since Chris was injured. No matter how proud she was, she would beg for his life.

Wesker placed the tip of the sword in her chin, making her lift her face and look at him. His cynical smile made Jill realize that he had recognized her. Instead of saying anything, he gave a sarcastic laugh, as if he were having fun with that situation. With no other option, Jill knew that she should be the first one to speak.

"Don't kill him, please."

"Hmm" Wesker looked up and frowned "Give me one good reason."

"I..." Jill stood up and looked at him fearless "I am Jill Valentine, daughter of Dick Valentine, your ally. That makes me your ally too."

"Interesting" Wesker lowed the sword "And what makes a woman like you protect a criminal?"

"He's not a criminal, he is a captain."

"Maybe you know little of his past, or nothing. Otherwise you would not be in an island with this man."

"We were at sea, we had no other place to go. And we are not alone in here." She said referring to Jessica and Raymond.

"It looks like you didn't tell your friend your true origins, did you, Chris Redfield?" Wesker looked at Chris, who looked back at him still panting.

"Origin?" She asked.

"This map..." Wesker raised the map to Jill.

'What about this map?"

"It was written by my grandmother in the language of Groonans."

"Groonans?" Jill's eyes widened and she looked at Chris.

"And your friend is the only one in Pine Hill who can read it." Wesker said low.

"You are from Groonin, the unknown land across the sea. How's that?"

"It is a long story, Jill. I didn't have a real chance to tell you that, they are aching memories..." Chris sighed.

"He's a criminal who tried to hide the truth from you, that's the truth, pretty lady."

"I'm not a criminal, I had my reasons for doing what I did." Chris tried to talk normally.

"But the Groonans think differently about you, Redfield. They would like to have your head on a tray."

"They don't want my head."

"They would appreciate it, for sure. And also, you stole my map and ran away. It's a life that has no value, so let me finish this." Wesker raised his sword.

"No!" Jill stepped towards Wesker.

"What's your interest in this poor man, precious?"

"He saved my life. He did not run away with your map, he jumped into the sea to save me because I fell in it."

"Really?" Wesker frowned curiously.

"He can read your map and I can help him with the codes. We will be able to find what you want, governor. I say this in behaf of my father's loyalty. I will be your ally too. But I need to save this man's life. I owe my life to him."

"You don't need to honor a criminal like this, but I can consider your offer."

"I can assure you that we will work together, but please ensure his life."

"I just can say that about today. About tomorrow I can not give you guarantees."

Jill nodded seeing Wesker turn and walk toward the huts. Some men approached him and he ordered them to collect supply for the trip.

Jill approached Chris helping him get up. Some people were still coming down from the boat and among them a boy ran towards them.

_Chris!

Chris looked up and tried to smile, but he soon turned serious again.

"Piers! Do not tell me that they captured you."

"Yes."

"And how are they treating you my brother?" Chris sounded disappointed.

"Well, thanks to Deborah?"

"Who is Deborah?"

"A friend. She has helped me. Her sister was looking for her and was also arrested, she is with us now. The governor said it is just until he gets what he wants. "Piers looked behind while the two girls approached them. "These are Deborah and Helena."

Jill and Chris looked surprised at Helena. They greeted each other formally, before Helena said:

"There you are. It seems that the governor wanted to interrupt your honeymoon."

"We're not together." Jill said before realizing that she was holding Chris close to her body and that she was wearing a costume that only covered very little of her body.

"Don't be afraid. I will not say anything to your boyfriend. He was really worried, he said he would look for you until the end of the world. He was organizing a group to look for you. But it didn't take much long until he got into other arms to cheer himself up. So you got that right too." Helena smirked.

By Helena's smile, Jill realized that Leon would probably have cheered himself up in her arms. She thought it would bother her, but she felt indifferent. At that time she was worried about the pain that Chris was feeling.

"By the way, it seems we have the same taste in men" Helena continued "Right captain?"

At that moment Jill felt sick. Helena and Chris too? Wasn't that enough all the bother she felt lately with Jessica, now also Helena? Jill still thought that Helena was a nice person, but she felt jealous and decided not to think about that.

All Jill knew at that moment was that she wouldn't let anyone hurt Chris. She would protect him with her life and she knew it was not because she owed him her life. She wanted him close. Although Jill understood about dreams, puzzles and codes, she did not know if she would really be able understand the map, but she knew that her excuse would be the only chance to keep her close to Chris and try to protect him.

Some guards took them to a secluded part of the beach and Jill realized that even if she had become Wesker's ally, she would be treated as a prisoner just because she was protecting one. She looked around and didn't see Jessica and Raymond. Their boat was a bit away from that place and Jill thought they would have gone there. Maybe they were afraid.

Lana closed the basement door and walked towards the stairs. She was going up silently when she reached the hall and Excella grabbed her arm and pulled her into a room. Excella pushed her away when she realized that Lana was completely covered in blood.

"Ahh!" Excella cried when she realized that her hands were full of blood. 'But what the hell is this?"

After Excella's push, Lana fell down sitting, leaving the scissors along the ground.

"Wait! My suspicions were confirmed. There was really someone downstairs."

Lana just nodded.

"And he sent you to kill her." Lana did not respond and Excella began to laugh desperately. " It's always fun. Just fun for you. Albert, Albert... When will you understand that I'm the one you love?"

"Can I go, ma'am?"

"Go, servant."

Once Lana walked out the door, Excella began to run her bloody hands all over her face and body.

"I'd bath myself in your blood with pleasure. Albert is just mine. Mine and nobody else's."

Excella laughed wildly. Alone in the room she gave a laughter that echoed throughout the mansion.

After a few hours the soldiers were guiding Jill, Chris, Piers, Deborah and Helen to the ship when another soldier, a taller one, appeared and had them stop.

"According to the new governor's orders, the captain must go on the cabin"

"But he had said that they were like prisoners." The soldier in front of Jill said.

"They are, the others must be locked, but the captain will need to guide us."

"No" Jill held Chris's arm.

"You won't take my brother." Piers stepped in front of Chris.

"You cannot take him. The governor promised he would not hurt him." Jill said looking at the soldier.

"Stay calm, guys. You'd better follow his rules." The tallest soldier said. "He is safe for now, if the governor decides to kill him, he sure will do that in front of you all."

Chris nodded at Jill and Piers and they understood he asked them to stay calm. Jill walked near Piers, watching them taking Chris away. She felt fear, but decided to trust and wait for the right moment to act and take Chris out of that situation.

As they got near the hall of berth compartments, some guards were running. The guard who was guiding them shouted:

"What's Going on?"

"We were stolen." One of the guards answered. "They took most part of our weapons and ammunition. The governor seems quite angry and told everyone he wants a meeting. Once you lock them, go to the deck. Some heads may roll today." he said scared.

Jill realized that everyone seemed afraid. It didn't take long for her to figure out who had stolen the weapons.

"Jessica and Raymond. You bastards!" Jill thought aloud.

A/N: Hello deaaaaaaar ones!

Here comes one more chapter. I didn't plan to make Raymond and Jessica stay for too long, but I planned to make them do what they do the best, cheat. LOL. So I hope you guys liked it anyway.

Hope u enjoyed this chapter.

What do you guys think Lana did? Take your guess O.o.

Cya! Have a nice day!

.

NerdGirl4Life: I also hate Jessica. In fact, I also believe Chris would never allow Jessica to touch him today. But in that past he didnt know her and tried to be polite. But she soon showed her real face, A cheater! LOL. Yeah, now Wesker's around, problems are around. Thanks for your words ficfriend. Besooooooooooos!

xxChris Redfieldxx: Thank you always for you sweet words, renny. Of course Chris would never respond to her flirts... Its always about the job, like you said. But its all about Jill too. I like how u dialogue with Chris and Jill.. LOOOOOL. And you were right.. that was Weskerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thanks dear friend. Kiss kiss.

xjillvalentinex : Oooh I also felt like Jill punching Jessica... LOL.. but Wesker got in their way LOOOOL. No dear, u dont say that too much. I really appreciate your words :)

Mister Valentine: I also believe sometimes we need to be alone with ourselves to find better answers and solutions. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to do here, to show how she became that calm and focused person she is. I'm happy you realized that.

I didnt plan to let Jessica and Raymond for the whole story, hope their visit and their goodbye made sense and was at least a little fun. :)

As I told you, he looked for her to talk, because she was not far away from them anymore, só she was safe. Hope it wasnt too confused for you guys :(

Thanks for being always with me Chris-Angel =) Thanks for being this angel.

Bisouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus =****

Will: Yeah, there's a secret Lana is keeping from Excella.. Or maybe there was LOL. To be honest I didn't plan on focusing too much on Piers and Deborah, because there's lots of things still to come and I dont wanna make this story tooo long. But I'll give some hints and I'll try to give them a cute little moment at least. No to hold things back, I'm trying to go ahead in a reasonable way, for example, we didn't see Deborah say to Wesker where the captain was, but we understood she did. I did the same with Helena, I hope it didnt make things confused. It's just an attempt to make things a litte faster sometimes. Feel free to give me your opinion. :) Thanks for coming will! ;)
