Here we are 2nd chapter of this short tale, Enjoy everyone :D

We arrived at a very tall building which had lots of stairs; I took it as an apartment building. I followed Ada up the many stairs and into a dark room. The lights came on and I looked around. It was a very simple family room, nothing hung on the walls only a simple couch and a small television set on top of a tiny table. I looked over to the bedroom and I only saw an inflatable bed.

I looked back at Ada who was rustling through some papers she had spread on the counter. I tried to see what she was reading but there were a lot of tiny words and I didn't understand half of it.

She went back to her bag and took out a cube like thing, it was a very shiny blue color and it lit up when she pressed it. "You wanted your phone call right?" She said looking at me. I nodded quickly. "I'm not sure what your mother's phone number is, so I'll just dial Leon's, I'm sure he's with her wherever they may be." I nodded again. She pressed the cube in different places a lot of times; it was really cool to watch.

"One more thing kid," She said pressing the cube one last time.

"What is it?"

"Don't tell Leon you're with me, where you are, and you can only talk to him for about a minute and a half." She handed me the cube-phone-thingy.

"Hello." This was definitely Leon; there was a lot of chatter in the back, he sounded mad.

"Hey Leon, it's me Liam!" The first thing that came to my mind.

"LIAM!? WHERE ARE YOU?" He said screaming, I had to move the cube-phone away from my ear.

I had to think of what to say to him, I couldn't tell him where I was because Ada said so… I remembered a James Bond movie my mom saw the other day and borrowed a sentence. "I can't tell you because this line is unsafe."

Ada smiled and whispered, "Very, good Liam."

"Are you alright and who's with you?" Leon seemed to have heard Ada's soft whisper, what an ear.

"I can't tell you but don't worry I'm okay," I continued to say.

"Times up Liam," Ada said making her fingers like scissors and cutting through the air.

I got the message. "Yeah, mmmm, okay, I have to go Leon I'll talk to you later, tell my mommy I love her, bye."

"W-W-W-WAIT! Liam, uhhh." I handed Ada the cube-phone and she pressed the button on the side to hang up. I felt sort of empty after that. I felt kind of bad I didn't get to talk to my mom, I wonder if she was alright.

"Don't worry kid; I'll give you more phone calls." She said still playing with the cube and she later set it down on the table. She got up and picked up some bags, as if she was ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" I said getting up from the couch.

"I need to run a couple of errands by myself," She said. "In the mean time you'll stay here, I have some food in the microwave and you can watch some T.V. quietly. Oh and don't open the door to anyone alright." She said opening the door.

"Got it." I said saluting her. She smiled again.

"If you're sleepy you can take the bed, bye kid."

"Bye Ada, be careful." She closed the door right after I said this. I slumped into the couch feeling bored already. As I sat there I noticed Ada didn't take the cube-phone, I was totally going to play with it. I thought first about what I was going to do and chose to eat.

I got up and went to the kitchen and pressed the button to open the microwave and saw Chinese food there, makes sense. A big plate full of noodles, rice and dumplings and it smelled really good. I took it out and went through the drawers to find a fork and that took me some time. After that I turned on the T.V. and watched some cartoons as I ate.

I finished eating an hour later and now I was really bored. I turned off the T.V. and decided to look around Ada's apartment. There weren't many exciting things here, everything was kept very simple, barely any furniture and no pictures.

I settled to look at the papers she had left on the counter and saw one that had my mom's name on it. I took the big folder and set it on the table. There was a large report on her and a couple of pictures of her too; she was fighting these monsters looking things in most of them. I only understood a few things about what the report really said like: Escaped Raccoon City at age 15, became an agent at age 20, excellent sniper, partner to Leon Scott Kennedy and left the agency 7 years ago.

She was an agent and she… she never said anything about it and Leon too? Plus Leon has my same middle name; weird isn't it or is it just chance?

The front door opened and Ada came through and she looked really tired. She put her gun and other things on the counter and sagged into the sofa next to me. I just stared at her, I didn't really know what to say.

She breathed in heavily and turned to look at me. "A bit past your bedtime isn't it?" She said sleepily. I looked around; there wasn't any clock so I wasn't sure what to answer her so I just shrugged. She chuckled and turned her attention to the table and noticed all the papers.

"I was hoping you can tell me a little more about my mom, could you Ada?" I asked. She smirked once again and I felt like her mind wasn't here, it's like she went to space.

"Your mother was an exceptional agent in her day, way before you were born."

"Exceptional, what does that mean?" I wasn't on that lesson at school yet, big words.

"Better than amazing." I nodded.

"What about Leon? It says that he was my mom's partner."

"Your mother never told you anything, that's so like Selene." She said getting up and went to the counter.

"So, are you going to tell me?"

"Maybe, tomorrow, you should go to bed, it's late." She yawned.

"Okay, can I call them tomorrow?" I begged.

"Sure thing."

"Well, Goodnight Ada." I smiled.

"G'night kid." She smiled, she got up and went to look at the documents on the counter, she sure works a lot. I grabbed my bag and went into the room and took out my PJs and changed. I took out my tooth brush and went into the bathroom and did all the other things you do in a bathroom. I climbed into bed but I took out my cop car and hugged it tightly. I closed my eyes and prayed that my mom and Leon were alright.

As a child you're very curious (naturally) therefore you ask a lot of questions, Liam is no exception.

As you all might have guessed the cube-phone-thingy is Ada's high-tech communicator.

I also wanted Liam to figure things out on his own even if it's little by little and slowly because his small vocabulary range. (though it won't be that slow because he has Ada)

I'm pleased to say next chapter is a deeper look into Ada's past and relationship with Liam, so keep reading and I hoped you enjoy it. Please continue reviewing!
