Chapter 12

(? POV)

"Damn", I cursed as I saw the body of yet another man, it looked like he worked in the hospital from his clothes.
"You knew she would kill right", I looked up and saw Wesker and immediately withdrew my guns and tried to sense for the other BOW, he had under his hand, "I take that as a Yes. Don't worry Tiera is not here, she's with my grand experiment. You do know others are trying to get to her", I pointed both of my guns at him, "Can't kill me with that."
"Don't be so sure", I said to him smiling and shot at him, which he easily dodged them which gave me enough time to hide myself.
"Smart as always", he said and I knew his position.
"Dumb as always", I hid my position with the help of ventriloquism. He charged forward from where he thought I was and tried to get his hands on me, "See", I again did the same thing.

"Let's talk shall we?", he said getting that he won't be able to get to me that quickly.
"I am not interested; have to save the world", I said and changed my position cause if he got the general idea where I was then I am in trouble.
"The only one you saved is that Agent that too barely managing to hide from others", he corrected me in his cool-calm tone.
"I tend to save everyone whom I can save", I told him, meaning every word of it.
"And die in the process?", he stated more than he asked.
"Uh… ah… kill you in the process", I replied smiling.

(Wesker's POV)

I laughed coldly at this comment and then my sharp senses picked up a beeping bomb and I managed to escape just in time and if it was someone other than myself, they might have been dead right now, "Wesker?!", I turned and saw Francheska, she looked at the smoke and walked forward but I stopped her, "What the hell", she said annoyed.
"We die if we went there", I told her.
"Who in the hell can do that?", she asked puzzled.

"It's the one who killed Frank", I said and just then noticed the concentrated smoke as began to spread fast, "Shit! Run", I said to Francheska as we ran for our lives and in doing so we exhausted ourselves.
"I think our subject's is in danger", Francheska said as we both took the shots of G-virus to heal our wounds.
"This calls for desperate measures", I couldn't help but say.
"You're not thinking of…", Francheska began.
"Yes I am", I replied, "Enemy is moving fast managed to kill Frank, maybe the next target is subject."
"This might blow our cover and they would know, they might already know", Francheska protested, "Wesker you can't risk our master piece getting destroyed, she's the only one… I doubt that any other host would accept and incorporate the virus the way she did."
"There is one", I said thinking, "After all two are better than one."
"You have a dirty mind Wesker", Francheska said smiling getting what exactly I meant.

(Leon's POV)

"She didn't come today either?", I asked Claire as soon as Ada moved out to get her phone.
"Well she did come to see you", Claire told me, bringing together her brows as if she didn't want to admit it.
"When? I didn't see her", I asked again.
"Well exactly at 3:00 in the morning", Claire replied, "Suddenly she woke up and wanted to check on you. She was very anxious and begging us so Jill and I brought her here and then… ", she trailed off.
"Then what?", I asked her with a mix of confusion and concern.
"Well I went to talk to Becky and Jill left her for a small moment to go washroom and there was a murder here", Claire told me sadly.
"Tell me she wasn't there", I really wished and hoped the same.
"Well she wasn't there at the scene and we found her sitting on the bench which was outside this room but she was here, wasn't she?", Claire said and the frustration in her tone was evident.

"So is she comfortable at your house", I tried to change the topic, "don't get offended but she has a habit making food for everyone; not only that she almost emotionally blackmails you to eat it, plus she would scold you to keep everything in order, also she watches too much TV and discuss everything that happened in the movie or show and if all else fails she talks and talks and never stops for a moment not even to breathe", I said remembering my time with her.

"Well she's okay. She cooks and all for three of us but she never talks too much, plus whenever Jill asked her to join when she watches daily soaps, she always declined and keeps herself locked up in her room. Well most of the times Jill and I, try to be with her but I wonder if she cries when she's alone", Claire said thinking a bit, "Anyways tomorrow you're getting out, right?"

"Yes and I want you to do me a favor", I said totally determined about it.
"What?", Claire asked confused.
"Get Kate back to my place tomorrow, I want her there", I replied with all the seriousness I could muster.
"What?! I mean what are you saying I can't disobey President's orders and you can't do it either, remember?", she reminded me.
"Look Claire, I figured it all out she only murders when she finds herself away from me. Do you understand what I am saying?She wants to stay with me forever, that's why she's doing this. She considers me her husband and is doing all this just so she could get my attention", I told her clenching my fists tight.
"You consider her a BOW?!", Claire asked me surprised and there were tears in her eyes.
"Don't you too?", I asked her back.
"No, never, never for a second I thought she was BOW", she replied shaking her head, "You know why because you said it yourself she seeks for your love and no BOW seeks love, well none that I have fought", she added getting emotional, "This is a huge coincidence that she's present wherever the murder occurred."
"Every time? Give me one person who was present at the scene of crime and isn't a murderer", I tried to reason with her.

"The answer is simple, it was you", Claire said pointing at me, "You know you were always very close to the scene of crime, it could be said that you're the one killing people but you didn't lose your memory and you didn't go missing for sometime proves that you aren't a BOW right?", she paused for a moment, "Take a moment Leon ask your heart is that the reason you want her back and do you really consider her a BOW?"
"No", I answered almost out reflex, "I… I don't know, she's… she's too confusing. I don't know what to expect from her. She always takes me by surprise. I want to be by her because I don't want to hurt her, she loves me and I know the mere thought of leaving me makes her sad, I know… I know this because I have seen her tears for me. That stupid girl is so damn in love with me that she'll die if I leave her. I don't want to leave her just because she loves me… she loves me… ", I don't know why but there was sadness in my voice and I felt hurt.

"So you… you won't leave her", I looked up and saw Ada, she was standing at the room door looking furiously at me, "You won't leave her even for me."
"Look you're getting it the wrong way I was just saying what I feel like. It's not…", I began my explanation.
"Then leave her now and come with me; you know if there are more murders then we can be sure that it's her and then we can kill her", Ada said moving close to my bed and sitting by my side.
"Why do you want to see her dead?", I asked her, since whenever she talked about Kate she at least one time said that she should be or would be dead.
"Because I hate her", she almost yelled, "Can't you see what she's done to you? Leon, there's still time abandon her and just come with me. I came back to you just so we could be together and you pull me in this crap."
"Well if you wanted to so escape from this crap you should be trying a bit harder to help us and not rant about killing Kate", Claire said in an obvious tone, crossing her arms.
"I am not talking to you", Ada snapped at her, "Leon, please! I beg you please", she said to me and hugged me but her hug it felt too, too much uncomfortable. I wanted her to let go off me, unlike Kate her hug was so cold, it was so cold, I don't have words to describe it; it was just plain cold.

"Ada you go home", I said pulling her away from me, "I can't leave her to die. I am not that cold and inconsiderate. I won't leave her at least not until she gets back her memory", I became silent in which Ada looked a bit shocked, "In this past couple of weeks she showed and gave me so much love that I wanted you to give me all these years. I never thought someone could love me like she did, she loves me more than you and if I have to choose between love and happiness. I am choosing love, because happiness comes and go but love always remains in your heart."

The sound of Ada's slap filled the whole room and Claire was about to beat the crap out of her when I shook my head to forbid her to do that, "You're a sick bastard, I am going to prove that she's a BOW and then you all will regret it", Ada said and stormed off.

"Now she would have a hard time proving that", John said entering, "So Claire did you understand what I said that day?"
"Yep", Claire said happily nodding and I didn't get what they were talking about.
"Good, you can explain it to me later", John said with a smile, "And this is for you", he handed me an envelope.
I took the envelope and read the letter in it; it said that Kate was allowed to stay with me and previous order had been cancelled as I wanted, "I didn't sent any letter", I said a little puzzled.
"I know because I did", John said smiling walking back to the door.
"But you need my signature", I said puzzled.
"I forged it", John said looking around the door, "And I have a surprise for you", he pulled Kate along with him.

I looked at her she looked a bit hesitant to meet me, "John, I don't want to go", she said resisting as John pulled her towards me.
"Why you so wanted to see him last night that you almost begged us and now look at you", Claire said smiling in disbelief.
"I just wanted to make sure he was okay", she said to Claire, "And are you guys forgetting, you two would be in great trouble if anyone sees me here? And Ada already saw me here", she added nervously still trying to free herself off John's grip.

"No one's going to be in trouble", I said with a smile, "Didn't they tell you that I was asking to see you for so many days? I needed you to be my side, I wanted you to hold my hand", I took hold of her hand, "I wanted you hug me and tell me that everything would be okay", I said pulling her to my chest, hugging her tight. I felt her crying and I inhaled her perfume it was the one, which was the last thing I smelt before they brought me here. It was her perfume which I took it to be Ada's. She cried for how long I don't know but she cried a lot, I know because I could feel my shirt getting wet because of it.

I looked at Claire asking what should I say to make her stop crying but she only smiled and then I looked at John and he was grinning stupidly at me which made me roll my eyes, "Thank you Kate!", I almost said it involuntary since I really, really needed her to hug me. She pulled away from me and smiled.
"How are you feeling?", she asked wiping her tears.
"I am fine just hit my head hard", I made an understatement.
"Good", she said smiling.
"You're happy that I am hurt", I asked raising my brows.
"No. I am happy that you would be coming home; I was feeling a bit lonely. I don't feel good when you're not there to be mean", she joked with a beautiful smile.
"Hey I am not mean, tell her guys", I said looking at John and Claire for support.
"Yes, you're", they both chorused monotonously.
"A bit though, but sometimes you can be a big jerk", Claire continued smiling and every one of us laughed.
