*Author's Note: Don't own this story, 'cause I didn't make this! DestinedShadow made this, from quizilla, and she gave me permission to do this! Yes, she gave me permission to bring this from her account on quizilla, to mine on fanfic. We don't own any of the stuff from RE, and all I did was edit it for mistakes.

Luis scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Um, where do we start?" he looked over at Leon. He nodded.
"You two are obviously familiar with the game Resident Evil, right?" Leon asked as he looked at you then to Jessica.
You both nodded in unison.
"The event in Raccoon City, my first day on the force when the T-virus broke out...that was a real event," Leon continued. You looked at him in confusion.
"That can't be, that's all fiction," you said and furrowed your eyebrows.
"And yet the main character of the game is right in front of you," Leon smirked.
"B-but..." you trailed off.
"So you're saying that zombies are real?" Jessica asked.
"Were real," Luis corrected. "All evidence of it ever happening was blown to a crisp."
"Wait! That doesn't make any sense! If this event were real wouldn't it have been in the news all over the world?" you asked, still utterly confused.
"It would have been if it wasn't for the president's desperate decision," Leon replied while wrapping medical tape around your injury.
"Desperate decision?" Jessica repeated as she pulled out a chair to sit on. Leon nodded.
"In order to keep this event confidential it took a lot of money and bribes."
"Who did they bribe all the money to?" you asked.
"To the news cast, and all the rulers of the world," Luis answered and leaned on the wooden counter.
"Did they even have that much money?" Jessica rested her head on the palm of her hand.
"The company Umbrella was forced to pay for most of the bribes," Leon finished up wrapping the tape around your leg and laid the kit on the table. He pulled out a chair and sat beside you.
"But what about the movie and the video game of Resident Evil?"
"All decoys," Leon laced his fingers as he rested his elbows on the table.
"Decoys?" you repeated.
"They were made in order to keep away the suspicions of Raccoon City, most people who've seen the movie or played the game assume that it's all fiction and the story was written by a bunch of writers," Luis answered. "Like you two."
"How about the people that survived the incident? Or the families of the people who died in that city?"
"Bribed with money as well," Leon sighed.
"But wouldn't at least one person let the secret slip?" you started cleaning your hands with a moist tissue that was in the kit. You cleaned off all the dried blood and handed a tissue to Leon. He had some of your blood on his hands too.
"That's true, some people rejected the amount of money they were offered and threatened to speak about it, the government took serious actions and informed that if anyone threatened to spill the secret they would be arrested."
"Were people actually arrested?"
"Yes, they didn't want anyone in the country or the world to panic," Leon nodded.
"Okay...but I'm curious to know about the incident that happened in Spain, you know the one that Resident Evil 4 was based on."
"That happened too."
"Wait a minute, if that actually happened wouldn't you be dead?" you asked looking over at Luis. He laughed.
"Don't believe everything you see, my death was just a little drama they wanted to add to the game, I didn't agree with it but what can you do?" Luis shrugged.
"So Ashley was a real person you had to rescue Leon?"
"Yeah," Leon replied. Jessica looked at you with a smirk she knew how much you didn't like Ashley even before you found out she was a real human being, you still hated her. Sometimes while playing the game you always said hateful comments about her whenever she got in the way of killing the enemies.
You've had countless game overs because of her and you just hated her personality. At first you thought she was a cute, sweet girl but she just got annoying during the game.
"Okay, I just have one more question, what are you two and that parasite thing that cut me earlier doing here in Portugal?" you asked.
"Vacation? No I'm just kidding senoritas, we're investigating," Luis answered.
"Investigating?"
"We've heard suspicions that the Las Plagas has traveled across the border from Spain to Portugal," Leon said. "And it looks like our suspicions are true."
"Are you saying that there's more of those things out there?" Jessica exclaimed.
"Most likely..."
"But I don't remember the parasites ever paralyzing there victim if they get a clear target in the game," you said and looked down at your leg.
"The parasite has evolved, I'm sure there is worse things they can do then paralysis," Luis informed.
"We also believe that the Las Plagas are becoming populated all on it's own also, you don't have to get injected in order to have it in your body," Leon started. "They actually pierce into another body and lay eggs in order for that person to be infected."
"But why is it traveling to Portugal?" Jessica asked.
"That's what we came here to find out," Luis replied as he stood up straight from leaning against the counter.
"So, you two are working together?" They both nodded. "Oh," you simply said.
"Now, if you don't mind I'm going to have a little smoke," Luis announced before taking out a box of cigarettes and a lighter and headed out the door, leaving it slightly opened. Leon sighed.
"You two can stay here for the night if you like, I'm sure its better then sleeping outside," you offered.
"It'd be no trouble?" Leon asked. You smiled.
"No trouble at all, I have two extra bedrooms upstairs for you two."
"Thanks," you nodded in response and looked up at the black clock that lay against the tiled wall. 5:50pm.
'Wow, time just flies by,' you thought and looked over at Jessica. "Maybe we should start on dinner? If we have any food in the house." She nodded in agreement and stood up. You attempted to move your paralyzed leg again but it only twitched.
"Damn it," you cussed under your breath.
"Don't worry I'll cook the dinner," Jessica gestured as she walked towards the cabinets, looking through them for any significance.
"How long did you say my leg was going to be paralyzed for?" you asked Leon, afraid of the upcoming answer.
"Maybe an hour," he replied. You let out an irritated sigh, feeling very incompetent at the moment. Leon gave you a reassuring smile, with no surprise made you blush. After a few seconds, Luis came back inside having finished his smoke. He closed the door behind him and paid attention at the searching Jessica that had her back towards him reaching for something.
His eyes adverted down south of her body until it stopped at one particular place, her butt. You rolled your eyes at him.
You noticed Leon furrowed his eyebrows and quickly he kicked his leg to get Luis' attention.
"Show some respect," he whispered to him. Luis only sighed and shrugged as he took the seat next to you to your right.
"So, you senoritas single?" he asked. You looked at him puzzled; Jessica turned around and did the same thing.
"What does that have to do with anything?" you asked as politely as you could though it still came out a little bitter.
"Just wondering, you don't have to bite my head off," he replied calmly. You shrugged carelessly and looked over at Jessica to see if she found any success and finding some food.
"Okay, all I could find was some soup," she announced, holding two cans of chicken soup. You sighed.
"We're going to have to go shopping early tomorrow for groceries," you informed. You hated grocery shopping; it was probably the most boring thing to do in the week but people got to eat, right?
"What? Did you girls eat all the food?" Luis joked. You and Jessica laughed.
"No, actually we just came today from the airport and no one has been in this house since my parents came last year, and my aunt comes at certain times to clean the house," you explained and looked back at Jessica. "Check the expiration date on those cans, are they edible?"
She analyzed a bit looking for the date on both cans but when she did she looked back up and nodded that they were edible to eat. She went ahead and started heating up water after your help on instructed where the pots should be.
While she was cooking the food you were trying to make yourself able to walk since some of the feeling was coming to your leg. Leon helped you to keep balance just incase you would have fallen. Luis was just flipping through the channels of the small black TV that lay next to the wall lazily and without interest.
"Dinners ready," Jessica announced. Now that you were able to walk again you helped her set the table. Leon and Luis even offered to help to but being as stubborn as you are you didn't let them. Making excuses like "you're a guest of the house."
"Sorry that we couldn't have cooked you anything better," you apologized after taking a seat beside Jessica with Leon to you left.
"It's better then hunting for snakes, you know?" Leon said. You giggled and nodded in agreement. All of you started slurping up the soup. You complimented her on how well prepared she cooked it.
"Havia um fogo em Tondela hoje, que causou muitas casas dos residentes queimar." You turned quickly to the TV and grabbed the remote and made the volume louder. "Estranhamente suficiente descobriram corpos de olhar estranho criaturas que no podem ser identificadas perto da cena de crime."
"Strange looking creatures?" you repeated.
"What?" Leon asked, not being able to understand.
"They're saying that there was a fire in Tondela today, and that they found bodies of strange looking creatures that they can't identify," you translated. Both you and Leon looked back at the TV. It showed an investigator holding the burnt creature in a plastic bag in front of the camera.
"Thats the Las Plagas!" Luis exclaimed. Your mouth hung wide opened at what he said.
"So that's the reason why there has been many fires happening frequently in Portugal?" you asked to no one in particular.
"This seems suspicious," Leon narrowed his eyes to the TV. You agreed. There had to be a connected between the Las Plagas and the countless fires happened constantly in this land.
"I don't like the looks of this...Tondela is pretty close to here isn't it?" Jessica asked. You nodded.
"It is." After dinner, Leon was helping you clean up the dishes while Luis and Jessica were cleaning up the table.
"I'm just curious, but why did you tell us about the incident in Raccoon City? Couldn't you get in trouble if the government found out?" you asked as you handed him a clean bowl for him to dry with the towel you lent to him.
"You were already smart enough to know something was up, so how was I going to keep the secret from you? Besides, it's better to know now because you could be in danger too," he explained. You looked at him in shock; he had a serious face implanted on him.
"Thats...not good..." you stated the obvious and cleaned the last bowl. All of you cleaned the kitchen spotless and by the time you were done you were exhausted. You yawned, which caused Jessica to yawn.
"Damn, its like a disease," you said and giggled. "I think it's time we should show you to your rooms." You looked over to the guys, they nodded in agreement seemingly tired too but they hid it well. All four of you walked up stairs to the second level.
"Wait here for a second we got to get clean sheets," you informed and pulled Jessica with you to your room while the guys stayed at the hall. You opened a large wooden chest that lay against the wall that had many clean sheets inside. You handed Jessica maroon sheets and you took folded gray sheets with you.
"You go show Luis to his room, okay?" you whispered and nudged her.
"But-" she objected as she blushed but you cut her off when you pushed her into the hall accidentally bumping into Luis.
She blushed bright red.
"S-Sorry," she apologized to him. He smiled.
"No harm done," he said to her.
"Anyways, um, Luis, you can sleep in my brother's room while Leon can sleep in my parent's room," you pushed Jessica to lead the way to the door that was across the room. Hesitantly she went. You led the way for Leon to the door that was a few meters away from your room. You turned the metal knob to a seemingly large room.
A large king size bed lay in the middle of the room with the wooden head board against the freshly painted white walls.
A balcony was positioned at the right of the room and another door and a closet was positioned at the left of the room.
"You really do have a nice place," Leon complimented while looking around the large room.
"Thanks, my parents always wanted this place to be their dream home," you smiled and pulled off the sheets from the bed. "Will you two be leaving in the morning?" you asked as you started making the bed with new clean sheets since the other was probably flooded by dust.
"Depends what time we get up," Leon replied. You nodded and finished up.
"That door leads to the private washroom, so if you want to take a shower or something, help yourself," you pointed to the wooden door to your left. "If you need anything my room is next to this one." He nodded. You grabbed the old sheets from the floor and started walking towards the door but stopped and turned to face him.
"Oh and Leon?" you called out to him. He turned around to face you. "Uh, thanks for saving my life and bandaging my wound," you said shyly while scratching the back of your neck nervously.
"Anytime," he replied with a smile. You blushed before leaving and closing the door behind you. You walked over to your brother's room that was across. You poked your head through the door.
"Everything fine in here?" you asked as you see Jessica had just finished making the bed.
"All is well senorita," Luis smiled with his arms crossed.
"You know I have a name," you smiled playfully at him.
"Oh my apologies _________," he said as he bowed. You giggled.
"I just wanted to let you know that if you need anything just help yourself and if you would like to wash up there's a bathroom between my room and Jessica's," you told him. He nodded.
"Okay, I'm going to go off to bed, if you need anything just knock on my door. I'm kind of a light sleeper or you can ask for Jessica's assistance," you smirked and winked towards Jessica. She blushed. "Good night," you and Jessica said in unison.
"Dream of me tonight," Luis said with a wink. Both you and Jessica blushed before closing the door behind you.
"He's such a flirt," you whispered and giggled. "A true ladies man." Jessica laughed nervously. "I'll take the sheets to the laundry, you go ahead and get some sleep."
"Okay thanks, and good night," she said and she handed you the wrinkled sheets and walked into her room. You walked down the stairs and lay the sheets on top of the washing machine.
"I'll clean it tomorrow," you yawned and lazily made your way upstairs to get your self some sleep. You changed into some comfortable silky pink shorts and a black thin-strapped tang top. You joined Jessica in the washroom to brush your teeth and hair. You both said your goodnights before retreating into your rooms.
You closed your door and your light and jumped under the soft sheets of your bed. You cuddled against your pillow before drifting of to sleep thinking how weird today was and how the days to come might get even weirder.
