To any Readers of my Soldiers story, pointless Cameo incoming.

Edited Feb 5th, 2017

Chris was right; nothing interesting ever really goes on in this town. They have been driving on patrol for the past few hours now. Jill was grateful that Chris was letting her drive this time. She was getting a little tired being the passenger these past two days. Jill felt like she had been going in circles, yet this small city all looked alike. It seemed like your classic everyday American small city.

"So have you talked to him?" Chris asked out of nowhere.

"Who?" Jill replied asking, although she had a pretty good idea who Chris was talking about.

"That Todd guy?"

Not something she particularly wanted to talk about at the moment. "Oh….Uh...No, at least not since the breakup." Jill said while still keeping her eyes on the road.

"You should." Chris suggested.

'What?' Jill said in her mind, why would Chris suggest this. "Why?" Jill asked after a few moments of pause.

"Well if you don't mind me saying." Chris asked as Jill Nodded in answer before he continued. "It sounds like the breakup was really sudden. It would help to stay in contact as friends, or at the very least get some more closure on the issue. Trust me on this one."

What Chris was suggesting made some sense. Jill knew that, and Chris sounded as if he has this experience firsthand. "Thanks…I might just find a phone and do that."

"You can use my phone back at our place." Chris suggested, and the use of the word 'Our' caught Jill off guard.

"What do you mean exactly by OUR place?" Jill asked laughing.

"Well…y-you haven't found your own place yet, so at the moment, in a way it is kind of our place."

Jill looked at Chris pointing at him. "Only because I haven't exactly had time to look for my own place yet Chris."

Jill hated people not able to keep their eyes on the road while in conversation. And at this very moment she now had every right to hate herself.

"LOOK OUT!" Chris yelled pulling his hand on the steering wheel of the jeep, while Jill just ran through a four way cross, not seeing the stop sign that was hidden by brush, or the Black SUV that nearly hit them.

The Jeep Just barely missed the Black SUV, which for some reason had no intention of changing its course. Chris's fast reaction saved them from a a very close and fatal collision. The next thing Jill knew was that they were now off the side of the road.

"You okay?" Chris asked unbuckling his seat belt to check on her.

Jill froze during the entire incident. Looking ahead she saw the front hood of that Black SUV not maybe four to seven feet from her. However, she was heavily aware in her stat of mind at this moment, now that they were fine. She gave some gazes to herself, checking to make sure if everything was in order before she replied.

"I'm fine Chris." She replied putting Chris at ease.

"Well…It looks like you can't handle this with care…So why don't I..." Chris was saying lowering his hands to the key ignition.

Jill just slapped his hand. "This was your entire fault, so don't even think about it."

"My fault?" Chris replied aggressively.

Jill started the Jeep back up. "Yes your fault. If you hadn't been talking so much this wouldn't have happened."

Pulling back onto the road Chris just laughed to himself mumbling "Whatever." Just barely enough for her to hear.

"Not really a time to be laughing Chris ."Jill hissed.

"Look, I'm sorry. Let's just head home; it's been a long day for both of us." Chris apologized, as trying to did make her feel better in a way.

"Alright." Jill gave in agreement knowing Chris was right. It was a long day from the bank heist this morning; to the near collision just moments ago. Besides, she still took to what Chris said at heart. And wanted to give Todd a call, wanting to know how he was doing as a friend should.

En-route towards the Facility

"Jesus man, you nearly hit that Jeep." Todd screamed looking behind as they were still driving away. "Why didn't you move?"

"They were obviously swinging out of our way." Agent F said calmly, not even looking back. "Moving in any direction could have resulted in possible collision."

Todd gave the Jeep another good look, seeing that it was fading away in distance. "Is…was that a cop?"

"S.T.A.R.S to be exact." Agent F said, and that word meant something to Todd, but he couldn't place his head at it in that exact moment. "There a special forces unit in the police."

It hit Todd now, Jill transferred to STARS, and if they were here that means Todd knew exactly where he was now. "We're in raccoon city?" Todd asked.

"Very good Agent T, you figured that out all by yourself." Agent F said sarcastically.

"What, you said you wouldn't tell me where I was."

"No, I said I wouldn't tell you anything about who you're working for, or any massive details on the assignment until you are briefed." Agent F reminded Todd.

The rest of the drive was in silence. Everything about this new job intimidated Todd; Agent F keeping his silent professional killer act didn't help. They were now just on the outskirts of the city, entering what looked like an abandon warehouse. The gate was opening on its own, as Agent F stopped the SUV just at the entrance. The slow opening door made Todd feel like he was in some crazy spy movie.

The door was now fully open, and Todd was puzzled. The place was dark, but empty. Nothing but the floor and the walls. However, that didn't stop Agent F from driving inward. He slowly pulled the SUV into the center of the empty Warehouse. Sitting the vehicle in park Todd was still confused.

"What now?" Todd asked, but before Agent F would even be able to reply, the floor below them started to lower.

Everything made sense to Todd now. They were setting on an elevator big enough for a car. Getting lower and lower, there were just the four walls surrounding them. Looking up at the window Todd could see the ceiling of the elevator close up. Going lower the walls disappeared as they were now inside a massive garage.

Todd could see maybe twenty or so black SUV's just like the one they were in. Still getting lower the elevator came to a stop, as they were now leveled with the ground. Agent F drove forward parking in the one emptied spot in the garage. He turned the car off looking at Todd.

"Let's go." Agent F ordered stepping outside of the car.

Todd didn't reply, he just followed, to anxious now to figure out exactly what this place was. Stepping outside of the SUV, Todd rushed to catch up with Agent F. Walking towards the one and only door in the garage, Agent F stopped at the door way reaching for something in his pocket. He took a Keycard out in swiped it at the door. There was about two seconds of pause, before a beeping sound went off, and the door opened.

The door opened, revealing a long hallway, closed doors were on both sides. Agent F started walking inside, with Todd following. The walls, the floor, the ceiling, and hell even the doors were all in some grayish color. Everything was so dull. Nothing posted on the walls, no signs, no windows, nothing. Agent F stopped at the fourth door on the right, looking at Todd.

"This is Barracks 5A, your room is the third on the right." Agent F said opening the door. It looked exactly the same as this long hallway they were already standing in. The only difference was Todd could see an end, and there were maybe only ten or so rooms inside, five on each side. "Get settled in for the night, everything you will need is in there. Make sure to be up and in uniform at 0700 hours tomorrow. I'll be back here at that time for your first day." Agent F told Todd, before he walked down the main long hallway.

"Hay, wait just a minute." Todd yelled, as Agent F ignored "Shit!" Todd cursed just loud enough for himself to hear.

Todd was pissed that they came this far, just for him to only be told to rest and wait until tomorrow. It was like a teaser to one of the most important things in his life. There was nothing more he could do, but go to his room. Walking inside Todd stopped at the third door on the right like he was told. The door was of course unlocked. Todd went inside revealing what looked like a normal looking apartment styled room.

A bed sat in the middle, with Black fatigues like the one Agent F was wearing neatly placed on top of the bed sheets. To the right laid a small kitchen. To the left, an entertainment center with a TV. Past to kitchen on the right was a door to the bathroom, while the closet was next to the entertainment center on the left.

He stepped inside, closing the door behind him. Taking a moment of relief after a long day of traveling, Todd tossed his duffel bag on the bed, before he also nearly jumped on the bed in relaxation. Todd kept repeating the same thoughts in his head 'what is this place exactly, and why the hell did he have to wait until tomorrow?'

Todd looked at the time."Shit it's barely 7pm." He quietly told himself. He had nearly exactly twelve hours before his first day in this place started. He though sleep would help, but that was just took long away. Instead he decided to turn on the TV. Todd switched around channels before he stopped at the news.

"And further on the bank heist that took place this morning, Officers of STARS lead by captain Wesker was successful in taking down the Robber." The news reporter started.

He decided to listen in to the rest of the story. He was of course curious in the events of the town Todd was now in, until one name in the report caught Todd's attention.

"Officer Redfield along with his newly partner Officer Valentine, were the prime pair that prevented the heist. Captain Wesker commented on such, and believes commendations will be in order."

Todd's mind was now out of phase at the sound of the TV. Jill was only here a few days, and is already getting medals. Thinking of his recent discharge, Todd now wished he hadn't rushed the breakup. However, what's now done is done and Todd knew he couldn't change that. He figured it was probably for the better if she didn't even know he was here. Nothing good would come out of anything else.

Poker Night

'So I take it Chris isn't coming?" Joseph asked Barry, while taking another beer out of the fridge.

Joseph and Barry were the only ones at the house in that moment, they were waiting on the others, and While Brad said he was on his way. Joseph walked over the couch setting next to Barry. Who was currently watching the TV.

"I have a pretty good idea what Chris is up too." Barry laughed.

Joseph took a moment to think, as he couldn't quiet get to what Barry was hinting at. Than the fact of Chris's new partner hit him. "Okay, you and I both know Chris wouldn't have to guts to even try."

"Will see." Barry replied with a smirk.

Suddenly the door opened, both Barry and Joseph looked towards the doors direction, seeing Brad walking inside with someone else.

"What the Hell Brad" Joseph yelled "Alphas only"

Brad walked into the living room next to the others. He had brought Richard from Bravo team with him.

"What, I figured with Frank gone we could use the more company." Brad replied looking around "where's Chris?"

"Where do you think." Barry said.

Brad took a moment to think, finding the answer in his head faster than Joseph. "Nah, Chris…..Come on man."

"Hay, I'm just saying. It's a little convenient is all." Joseph laughed.

"Um…..I thought this was poker night or something?" Richard asked looking around to see no table set up at all for poker.

"Yeah well, usually turns out to be drinking and trash talking night" Barry replied.

"Whatever, grab a beer and take a seat I guess." Joseph said in defeat, he didn't hate Richard. It was just the one night only the Alphas hanged out. And with Frank gone and Chris probably with his new partner, they could use the more company. Otherwise this would turn into a short night. They spent the next hour and a half drinking, watching bad television and talking about pointless things.

"So Richard." Barry spoke after they all took a few minutes in silence. "anything new going up in the Bravo side of town."

Richard took another chunk of his beer before he replied. "The usual, we're getting a new medic next week."

"Is that so." Joseph replied.

"Yeah, a chick too." Richard chuckled.

"Huh, so I guess both squads will have a chick now." Brad said thinking what everyone in the room, hopefully everyone but Barry was thinking.

"Guess we have to even the playing field." Richard replied.

"So is there anything interesting going on in Bravos side of town?" Barry asked trying to change the subject.

"Well we've got reports of some murders going on in the outskirts of town." Richard replied explain what had exactly been going on in their side of town. Both squads had their own side of jurisdictions in Raccoon City. So it was interesting for them to exchange their work.

"Isn't that the second one now." Joseph asked interested in knowing what was being done about the situation.

"Yeah Enrico Says there's investigators looking into it, but if it escalates will probably be sent in." Richard explained.

"I wouldn't worry about it, probably just some animal attack or something." Brad said now standing up heading towards the fridge. "Anyone else need a beer?"

Nearly everyone replied to that.

At Chris's house

After a few hours they finally got back to the house. Jill wouldn't admit that she got lost, she was stubborn like that. Jill just pulled into the driveway, it was late now. Chris completely forgot about the rest of the guys and poker night. He figured Barry would probably be joking about it tomorrow. Losing track in the day Chris also remembered he had a report to make about what happened this morning.

"Are you coming Chris?" Jill who was already standing at the front door asked, while Chris was still in the Jeep.

Chris quickly stood out of the Jeep dashing his way towards Jill. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming."

Chris quickly unlocked the door, slowly walking their way inside. Chris was quiet, hoping not to disturb Claire if she was still here. Little did Chris know, she was waiting for him.

"Ah ah, what in the world." Chris screamed, as someone was repeatedly hitting him from behind the door with a newspaper.

"Christopher Redfield, you have No idea how angry I am with you!" Claire screamed from behind him, still hitting Chris, who was now cowardly crouching down holding his hands up to try and block her on going assault directed at him.

"Claire stop it, Come on." Chris begged still crouching on the floor. He now looked towards Jill. "Some help here."

Jill just laughed from behind Claire. "Sorry Chris, but I don't want to get involved in a sibling dispute." She said smiling.

Claire now stopped her assault, pointing her blunt paper weapon at Chris. "Don't you ask her for help, if it wasn't for her calling I would have had to find out on the news, and that Chris…..Would have been a lot worse for you."

'wait what?' Chris thought in his head at what she meant by Jill calling. However, at the moment he had something else to worry about. "Claire, I'm sorry…."Chris paused, now standing back on his feet hugging his sister. "There was just…..a lot on my mind at the time…I would have called, but…." Chris looked for the right words to explain he spent the day cheering Jill up after the heist.

Claire Pushed Chris off her, now giving a slight laugh. Chris was really confused now; she went from worrying assaulting sister, to an out of the place humored one.

"What's so funny?" Chris asked with a hint of annoyance.

"I know why you didn't call brother, and let's just say that I'm proud of you." Claire said smiling and giving a wink towards Jill.

"Then why did you assault me?" Chris asked, while forcibly grabbing the newspaper from his sister.

Claire tried to grab the paper back, but Chris was now exchanging it between hands from behind his back. She pouted in surrender. "Just because I'm proud at you, doesn't mean I'm not angry at you for not letting me know you were okay."

"Okay…..Like I said I'm sorry. I'll make it my priority to call next time." Chris promised, while making his last apologies. There was a few seconds of awkward silence now, until the heard the door slammed. The sound startled everyone, and it was Jill who finally closed the door, since it remained opened during the entire ordeal. "Jesus Jill!" Chris said laughing, while Claire also laughed a bit.

Claire came back to Chris, giving him one last hug. "Alright…I'm going to bed now. I have to be up really early, Try to stay out of trouble." Claire said now walking upstairs towards her room.

With Claire gone, Chris now looked at Jill. He could tell she knew why he was. However Chris still didn't know exactly how to ask.

"What, Is something on my face." Jill teased.

"You called my sister?" Chris finally asked.

"Yeah, I called when you were in the Captains office. Figured she probably want to know her brother was fine." Jill said now leaning her back against the front door.

"Thanks…..I-It means a lot. I just can't believe I forgot to call." Chris admitted, now setting on the living room chair.

Jill walked over to Chris placing her right hand on his shoulder. "Just remember to call next time, family can be a pain sometimes, but they always like to be told their okay from them, rather than someone else." Jill whispered. she now started walking towards her room.

"Hey remember, you can use my phone if you like." Chris offered, reminding her of their conversation from earlier. She was surprised he remembered after the near collision ordeal, but was thankful that he did.

"Thank you I…I'll do that right now." Jill said walking towards the phone that Chris was pointing at. Before she could dial she just looked at Chris.

"I'll go take a shower or something." Chris said standing up and walking upstairs towards his own shower. Jill just smiled, and she was thankful again now for the privacy.

Jill dialed the phone, remembering the number of the base. It was late, but they were probably all out doing some form of drills anyways. She knew the instructors there wouldn't mind. The wait seemed like forever, and someone answered the phone after the second ring.

"Sergeant Hamilton, Who may I be addressing." The voice on the other said spoke in a military like tone.

"Jeez mark, is that how you great everybody." Jill laughed knowing exactly who was on the other line.

"Valentine, Shit how's police life treating you." Mark replied in laughter.

It was Sergeant Mark Hamilton. One of the training sergeants on base, Jill got to know him in her time there. He wasn't part of Delta, Just a normal Army like sergeant. Who wanted nothing more, but to be an everyday grunt.

"It's great, how's your son doing." Jill asked trying to catch up with another one of her friends.

"He's doing well, I mean my Ex still doesn't want me to see him, but I'm okay with that."

"So when are you going to just retire, and show her you can be a great father." Jill teased.

"Come on Valentine, you know this is my life now. Besides a couple more years and I can make Staff sergeant, at least I hope."

Jill's laughter now was but at a halt, she didn't know what she was thinking by bringing the subject of his son up, but Mark never felt any guilt. Suddenly she remembered why she called in the first place. "Is…is Todd available?' Jill now asked.

There was a long pause, and Jill didn't know exactly why. "Didn't you hear Valentine?" Mark asked.

"Hear what?" Jill asked really confused.

"Corporal Swint was discharged yesterday." Mark replied.

"What!?" Jill nearly screamed "How, When?" She began questioning Mark.

"I'm sorry Jill." Mark said calmly using her first name, he never used first names. "I don't know how, that information is confidential you understand."

"I know, but…..how long ago?" She figured it couldn't be long, as she only left a few days ago.

"Yesterday." Mark replied. "I'm sorry Jill; I knew you two were close."

"It's fine, take care Mark."

"You too Valentine, don't go being a hero on me." Mark replied, as the final goodbyes were said the lien was now cut.

Jill couldn't believe it, Todd was discharged. They must have found out about his Ear, it was the only thing that made sense. He was the best on the training field so it couldn't have been something else. Todd always followed orders to the letter. What Jill couldn't figure out was why he hadn't tried to contact her. The military was Todd's dream, she knew he was probably a wreak now.

Said to expect an update med week, first time I've ever kept to my promise :). And I now promise the next chapter will have some action for those looking for some more.
