Chapter I: Ada's concerns
Moscow, Russia October 1st, 2009. The new Tricell co. headquarters
It was now 11:32pm. The air was cold, and the breeze was so cold and hard that it felt like it could take off all of your skin. Ada Wong seemed to notice this even more because she was such a small young woman. As she hurried along, cars zoomed past her. She was only a block from her destination when she noticed a TV store. About 5 other people were looking at one of the ones that were on display. It was broadcasting something in English which surprised her. The one next to it was saying the same thing but in Russian. There was also one in German and one in another language that wasn't familiar to her. The other people were looking at the one speaking Russian. Ada focused on the one speaking English
Shocking news! Just in that the United States government has collapsed due to the recent death of president Gram! Also, there have been several dozens of bio terrorism attacks in several of their states! They have lost several military units in the attacks as well as several Mercenaries and are sources report that they now trying to recover even though they have lost 3million citizens and several large cities have been reduced to rubble such as LA and New York as well as Washington, D.C.!
I was shocked. Dead mercenaries? Leon…"
I quickly tossed the idea. No, he can't be among the dead mercenaries. He just can't be! Besides, I need to go. I am already behind schedule for this meeting. I turned away from the TV and walked down the sidewalk.
Ada walked quickly. She had momentarily forgotten how cold she was when she had been listening to the horrible news. Now the cold had consumed her again. She almost ran up the street to the cab station. Lucky for her, a cab was driving past. She didn't hesitate to flag it down.
The cab driver stopped, and allowed her to climb into the back. Then he asked he were she wanted to go. Well, at least she guessed that's what he said. He was speaking Russian so hard to understand that she just handed him a map and pointed to an area on it. He nodded and started to drive off. She looked out the window at the sky. Snow was falling now. Great, now it's gonna be even colder! Why does the universe hate me so much?
Finally, the cab pulled up in front of a large mansion. It was deep in the woods, so no one even had a clue that it was here. She payed the cab driver and grabbed her coat and the luggage bag that she had with her. The second the driver left, she ran to the front door and rang the door bell. Someone was at the door in an instant. The door cracked open, but, before she could step in, someone spoak with a voice like ice.
"Well, if it isn't the Red Rouge."
"...Krauser...no, I killed you years ago."
"It's me, alright. I was so sure you would be happier to see me."
"Why would I be happy to see someone I tried to kill?"
"Well, you're colder than usual."
"Yea, in both meanings of the phrase. Can I come in already?"
"Nope, I think I would rather just watch you freeze in the snow. Its fun watching you shiver."
"If you don't let me in right now-"
"God, I was just kidding! You take jokes even worse than Leon!"
Krauser stepped to the side and let Ada inside. It was warm inside the large house and it made her sleepy. But now defiantly wasn't the time for a nap even as much as she could use one. Krauser walked her to a big beautiful door. It looked like a maybe it was a bed room or a large living room. He leaned against the wall and looked at her as if he were probing her for something. He didn't have ex ray vision, did he? Ha! I can be so stupid sometimes.
"Our boss is inside. You better hope that he isn't mad that you're a whole hour late."
"It wasn't my fault, Krauser. My plane landed late and I couldn't find a ride."
"Whatever. Look, what you don't realize is that I really don't care."
Krauser stood up and walked to leave. He stopped for a second and faced Ada. He gave her a deep, cold look. He lowered his voice for a moment and knelt down to meet her head level.
"Oh, and you owe me big time for me not ratting you out."
Ada gasped. Krauser hadn't told Wesker that she had tried to kill him in Spain 4 years ago?
"What do you mean? I've done nothing wrong."
"We both know that that's a filthy lie."
"We do? Wow, I had no clue"
"Whatever, Ada. Just view it as a gesture of our hopeful friendship."
"Sure. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. You never know, Krauser."
"Just remember what I said. I won't tell either way, just saying that you should appreciate me more."
"Why, of course Krauser."
Krauser smirked and walked away, waving over his shoulder. When he was gone, Ada turned and looked at the door. She took a deep breath and let it out. She slowly raised her hand up to the door. She closed her eyes and then knocked on the door. The moments seemed to turn into hours. Finally, the door opened. She struggled to compose herself as Wesker appeared in the doorway. He was wearing all black as usual. (To save time describing the outfit, it's the one from RE 5) and had on his sunglasses. He seemed irritated. He invited her into the room and they sat down on a bed. Ah, so it was a bedroom. Nice, Wesker, very nice.
"You had better have a good reason for being so late, Ada. You know better than to keep me waiting."
"My apologies, Wesker, my plane landed late due all the congestion over America. The US government just collapsed. Sad…"
"Hmmm, I never thought that it would be that easy. It appears that Corporation S has beaten me to the punch line of my own jock."
"Now, I wouldn't say that. I got the data from there facility like you asked."
"You did (He takes the bag she was carrying) how wonderful. And you did it on time. Punctual…I like that."
"Thank you, Wesker. I am glad that you're pleased. Now…about my pay…"
Wesker looked at the small lab top that had been inside of the bag. He was browsing through some files. He reached over and picked up an envelope with Ada's name on it and handed it to her, all the while his eyes never left the data he was reading. For some reason, Ada couldn't stop thinking about what she had heard earlier on the broadcast. Was Leon going to be ok? She opened the envelope and was surprised to find it filled with cash. No check, hu? That's different. I was gonna ask him for cash…wow, could he read minds? She looked up at him, nervous and shocked at about what she was going to say right now.
"…Wesker…"
"Yes, Ada? What do you want?"
"I need to ask you a favor."
Wesker closed the lab top and put it on a bedside table. Then he turned to face Ada. Even sitting down, Ada still only came to his shoulder. She wasn't short, he was just tall. He looked at her, waiting for her to speak. Finally, after several long minutes, Ada looked up and met Wesker's piercing stare. It was something that very few people could do for any period of time. He was a menacing person.
"…I need you to find Leon and bring him to me. I have to know if he is ok."
"Hmmm…"
"Can you do that, Wesker?"
"Very well. I can do that."
"Really? You would do that for me?"
"…why not? It would be, at the least, funny to watch my men apprehend him."
"…Thank you, Wesker. How soon can you do it?"
"Now. I'm not busy and I need some entertainment. I will tell my contact within the government to locate him."
"Thanks. Oh…and please don't hurt him. I want him alive."
"…very well. Now, go to the room I set aside for you. I need sleep and you are delaying me."
Ada nodded and got to her feet. She said goodnight to Wesker and left the room, shocked. He actually agreed to help me? Wow. She was walking down the hall to her room when Krauser re appeared. Great. That's all I needed this time of night. She turned to him and he gave that same sly smirk again.
"What's with the smile?"
"What, I'm not allowed to smile?"
"No."
"Bitch…"
"Ass…"
"Whatever. I just think it's funny that Wesker agreed to help you find Leon."
Ada gasped.
"How in the- h-how did you find out about that?"
"I listened through the door."
"God, you're annoying."
"Thanks, for going al ballistic on me."
"Look, I need to sleep. Goodnight, Krauser."
"Later."
Ada opened her bedroom door and walked inside, closing the door. Nice room! It's huge! I like huge bedrooms. Ada look of her coat and hung it in her closet. Then she changed into a night gown (The change of clothes was in her luggage bag) then she practically jumped into the bed. She sunk into the warm blankets, melting in the comfort. God, this bed is so soft! Thank you, Wesker! This bed is awesome!
Ada turned over in the bed and yawned. Just before she fell asleep, she thought one word.
"Leon…"
