"Chris, what the hell happened back there?" Wesker yelled in his office so loud, he swore the whole station could probably hear his anger.
Chris was setting in Weskers office, while Jill was still in their office. He was a little worried about her. They've only been at the station for the past few hours, and Jill looked a million miles away in her thoughts after seeing that man die before her eyes.
"Redfield?" Wesker once again shouted, now standing out of his chair.
"The subject must have heard us Captain. We were compromised, and had no choice but to move In." Chris Lied, talking in a real calm mood to sound as truthful as possible. He knew it wouldn't be easy to lie to the captain, but he also knew there was no way he could prove he wasn't.
Wesker walked around his desk, now standing in front of Chris. "Is that so." Chris nodded in reply. "Then why was Valentine in the lobby unarmed?" Wesker asked, taking his sunglasses off, now looking Chris straight into his eyes. The captain hardly ever did they, Chris had to find an excuse quickly.
"She…The subject gained the upper hand, he got sight of her, but not me." Chris paused, thinking of how he could continue. "When the Subject demanded her to come out…I let valentine know I had her covered.I knew the subject had yet to see me." Chris explained, he wasn't sure how much Wesker could tell a lie, so he In his own way told the truth. The subject didn't see him, and he was covering Jill.
Wesker continued his stare into Chris, but in a matter of seconds took a deep breath in defeat. "Fine Redfield, I expect a full report first thing tomorrow morning." He ordered walking back to his desk seat.
Chris stood from his chair giving a nod in agreement to his orders. Without hesitation he rushed outside Weskers office. Entering the empty main STARS lobby, Chris went to his right. He was heading to his and Jill's office, trying to find her. However, entering the office she was nowhere to be seen. Chris looked puzzled, as he went back in the STARS lobby.
"Did you lose something?" Barry asked from across the lobby. Chris didn't even see him entering.
"Yeah, do you know where Jil…I mean my Partner is?" Chris asked walking towards Barry.
"I can see your worried Chris." Barry said smiling.
"Huh, what do you mean…..I just want to find my partner." Chris said trying to play dumb.
"Come on Chris, Hell I remember you were a little shock up the first time you saw someone die. It's nothing to be ashamed about to worry." Barry assured patting Chris on his shoulder. "Even if your partner is a looker." He laughed
Chris Just pulled away. "Ok now, that's easy to say coming from a married man."
"What, I'm sure you've thought of it at least once. Nothing wrong with wishful thinking Chris, now you remember that" Barry said slightly shaking a set of papers at him.
"For the record, I would be lying if I said I didn't at least once think this." Chris said with a smirk on his face.
"Okay than, now go find your partner, cheer her up, buy her a drink…" Barry paused with a smile. "Maybe take her out." Barry laughed
Chris punched Barry on his shoulders in a friendly way.
"Don't worry, I'll cover for you if you don't make it to poker night." Barry said, as Chris was now walking away.
Chris turned around, now walking backwards. "I appreciate that Barry, Give the Wife my best." Chris said waving his hand.
Chris was searching the station for Jill now. He checked the STARS department and the Locker room. The only other place he could think she might be at is the Garage. Chris rushed passed all the officers, as he was now making his way out the station, and into the stations Garage outside. Making his way to the jeep he was now relieved, seeing Jill setting in the vehicle.
"Hey." Chris said standing outside the passenger's seat, where Jill was setting.
She took a few seconds to take in the fact that Chris was now standing next to her. She turned looking directly at Chris. "Hey" She replied.
"You okay?" Chris asked leaning through the window.
"Um….Yeah, at least I should be. I'm sorry about freezing up." Jill apologized, yet Chris wasn't sure exactly why.
"You did nothing wrong, If anything I should be apologizing for not standing there negotiating with you." Chris laughed.
"I'm serious Chris; I could have gotten people killed. You're my partner, I should have listened…I should have." Jill Cried in the thoughts of what ifs.
Chris opened the door, pulling her out giving Jill a friendly hug to try and calm her. A few seconds of awkwardness ensued.
"Um Chris…What are you doing?" Jill asked looking really confused.
Chris quickly pulled from his hug, not knowing exactly what he was doing. "Sorry, it…..was just a friendly hug…for comfort."
Jill laughed. "So you give all the guys friendly hugs, because if you do I find it hard to believe."
Chris was glad she was cheering up, even if it wasn't the way he hoped for. "Yeah…..Sorry, I guess I wasn't sure exactly I was thinking."
"Don't worry about it, I really appreciate the thought." Jill said playfully pushing Chris.
"Hey, want to get a coffee or something?" Chris asked pulling the Jeeps keys out.
"What's up Chris…first you get me to your place, than the hug…now you want to take me out." Jill teased.
"Relax Jill, If I wanted to take you out you would know it." Chris laughed.
Jill also laughed, now getting back inside the Jeep. "You coming or what." Jill said.
Chris didn't know what to think of this. First she was in shock over the bank heist, now she was teasing him. He figured she was probably still suffering from shock, and ignored it all for now. Chris jumped in the Jeeps drivers' side. "So what would you say if I was dumb enough to ask you out sometime?" Chris asked not realizing he said that out loud.
Jill just continued laughing. "I say you're a dumb man asking someone out, who you of course just meet not long ago. Especially since I'm your work partner."
Chris started the jeep. "Well its good thing I'm not then." Chris laughed 'not now at least.' he thought to himself. He hated himself for thinking of this, it was in inappropriate to think such things about his partner. The Police frowned about such things, come to think of it; the STARS for some reason didn't exactly follow the same rules, as the unit was still fairly new. But for the life of him Chris couldn't figure out why.
Unknown Private Airfield
Todd had spent the last few hours in the private plane he was taking to an undisclosed location. Everyone here was so secretive. Nobody would tell him anything. They would just check everything on him to make sure Todd is who he said he was, and simply tell him to move on. He found it even weirder that he was the only passenger in this plane. But all that was over now, the plane had reached its destination.
Todd didn't bring much with him, just his duffel bag on him. As the plane landed the pilot came out opening the door telling him to exit. Todd grabbed his bag and did as the pilot said. Hell even the pilot wouldn't talk to him. While Todd was getting off the plane all he could see was that they had landed in a vast empty field. There was no hangers, no buildings, it was just an airstrip. In the distance Todd could see what looked like a small town city. He wondered where he was, and what he was going to be doing. But with the amount of money the Job afforded Todd no longer cared. Just barely walking into the distance, the plane started up leaving Todd behind.
"Hay wait!" Todd yelled out, as the plane was taking off. Running after it was useless, and Todd knew that.
The plane was gone, and Todd was now alone. He turned around to see a Black SUV pulling up towards him. The Vehicle stopped not eight feet away from Todd. The engine was cut, and a bald white man what looked like in his late thirties or early forties stepped out. He was wearing Black fatigues and a bulletproof vest. The man also had a pair of shades, hiding his face. Todd also noticed the man had a side arm holstered.
Closing the vehicles door the man slowly walked his way towards Todd. He looked like a trained professional; Todd wondered what he did to get hired for this Job, just like how Todd got hired for being in Delta. The man stopped Right in front of Todd, staring him down. A few seconds of pause came before the man took off his shades revealing his green eyes. The man took a deep breath before he offered his hand.
"Agent T I presume. I'm agent F." The man finally spoke in his grunted tone.
Todd took his offered hand "Agent T, Um…." Todd paused confused why he called him that. "My name is…"
Agent F quickly cut him off, before Todd could say his name. "No names, this security Job is highly classified."
"OK, and what exactly is this Job, and who am I working for?" Todd demanded, frustrated now with all this classified things.
"All will be revealed soon. Once we arrive at the facility you will be fully briefed." Agent F explained. He placed a one hand on Todd's back with the other pointing towards the SUV.
Todd Began walking with him towards the vehicle. He went around to this passenger's side, as the door was already unlocked, Both of them now setting in the SUV, Agent F Pressed a button opening the glove compartment. He reached inside grabbing something.
"This is your side arm." Agent F said handing Todd the gun belt along with the weapon. "Take it." Agent F insisted nearly slamming the belt at Todd's Chest. Agent F now started the SUV, as he turned around heading back onto the road. Keeping his eyes on the road Agent F began to speak further. "I will be your new partner in this security detail." Agent F said now speeding up the vehicle when he hit the main Road. "There are two facilities we will be assigned to; we'll be trading guard detail with another group. One of the facilities is located under the city; we will be spending the next few weeks there. While the other…." Agent F paused looking towards the wilderness. "Is located in the mountains."
"So we're partners." Todd asked looking at agent F, as Todd placed his gun belt in his duffel bag and laying it next to his feet.
Agent F just nodded, which Todd could see.
"So that means we're equals?" Todd continued his questioning, trying to go somewhere with this.
"As equaled as any brothers in arms." Agent F explained.
"So yeah, I've been held up in that plane forever. And you look like you've been driving all day, how bout I drive. I mean if were partners, this vehicle belongs to both of us." Todd explained in a humorous tone, though he wasn't exactly being serious. Knowing Agent F would more than likely say 'NO.' but it didn't hurt to try and ask.
Agent F Halfway turned looking at Todd to speak. "The companies Vehicle needs to be trusted to someone with care." Agent F said, now looking fully back at the road. "Besides, your training is under effect. I can't trust you driving; you know, you remind me of someone else."
"So…I take it this job is boring all the time. Do we just seat around staring at cameras?" Todd Laughed.
"We've had two employees lose it in the past month. Are jobs aren't exactly keeping watch on the outside anymore, it's more about watching the employees now."
Later that day, at a local Cafe
Chris Took Jill to a local Cafe not far from the station. After a long first official day at work this morning, he figured Jill just needed some breathing space.
"Jill.." Chris paused looking for the right words. "I wanted to apologies if I was out of line, sometimes my thinking gets clouded with weird things I shouldn't say."
Jill took a sip of her coffee before she replied. "It's quiet alright; I guess I needed some cheering up after this morning." She replied placing her hand under her gin for support on the table. "Although if hugging is the way you express cheering up with everyone, I wonder how many others in the unit you've hugged." Jill continued to tease.
Chris laughed. "I assure you I don't, like I said I have to get use to being partners with a woman. It's just everything has been so weird for me since Frank Left and all." Chris explained stirring some sugar in his coffee.
"What was frank like?" Jill asked looking for something to converse about.
"He was always a jerk." Chris laughed.
"I'm serious."
"He uh…was always really professional about his Job, perhaps too much. He took everything so serious, but….." Chris stopped thinking of the times they spent out of work hours.
"But." Jill mocked
"He was a good friend outside of work, we've had are differences, however deep down I think he just wanted nothing more than…..just a normal life." Chris took another pause remembering Franks history. "Especially after his brother died on a training op in the Army."
"That's deep Mr. Redfield." Jill said in friendly tone.
"I thought you were going to just call me Chris." Chris replied as the both started laughing. There was a short pause before Chris continued the conversation. "So what about you, what's your story Jill."
Jill took a quick breath. "Not much to tell really, I trained with delta, Got the offer to transfer here with STARS, and Now I'm apparently living with my new partner."
"Did you leave anything behind coming here?" Chris asked trying to get more details than the basic details.
"No not really well…" Jill stopped thinking of Todd.
"Well?" Now it was Chris who was mocking.
"I uh…..Didn't exactly leave on the best terms" Jill explained trying to revel as little as possible.
"How so?" Chris asked trying to push the subject.
'Just blunt it out Valentine.' Jill argued with herself in her own head. "I had a break up the day I left."
"Crap Jill, I'm sorry." Chris apologized; now thinking of himself as stupid for even trying to flirt with her earlier.
"No don't be, I think I'm over it now."
"Who was he?" Chris asked curious to know who would break up with her.
"His name was Todd; He was in the same Delta training division as me." Jill explained, remembering her days not long ago.
"Did you break up with Todd, or did he break up with you?"
"Kind of a little of both I guess."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Chris asked a little confused at what she was getting at.
"I got the transfer, and he didn't do long distance relationships. Being in the military for the past few years, they never worked out for him."
"I know how that feels." Chris said remarking about his time spent in the Air force.
"Oh that's right, you were military too." Jill said remembering reading Chris's file.
Chris stood from the table lending his hand to help her up. "Come on; let's just go on patrol for a while. It'll lighten the mood."
Jill huffed not knowing if a patrol would be such a good idea or not.
"Come on Jill, I'll let you drive the Jeep." Chris offered now holding the keys out.
"I thought you said that 'The squad Jeep needs to be trusted to someone with care' ."Jill teased reminding Chris of the quote he used form his old partner Frank.
"I did, and I trust you to handle it with care." Chris smiled.
Jill now took his hand in acceptance, as they both walked out of the café back towards the Jeep in the parking lot.
This was I guess A bet more filler than the last, but I don't really believe in filler, as I feel everything is Important.
