Here ya go! As promised. Chapter 11 is on it's way ~

"Woah… careful." Leon whispered after we both took a few startled steps back.

I simply nodded and we walked to the back of the room where the trap door was, and knelt down beside it. Leon lifted up the door and I turned to him as he turned to me. It was too dark to see anything, but I felt his breath on my face. Our faces were so close. All I had to do was lean in just a little more…

I felt my face heat up and I quickly turned away. It would be stupid to kiss him, right? I mean, he was way older than me. It didn't matter how big his muscles were, or how blue his eyes were, or even how his smile could cure a blind person. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a bit there, but come on; you had to admit this man was gorgeous.

"Uh… I'll go first…" I stammered, trying to break the awkward silence, and jumped through the door when I saw Leon nod.

A few seconds later, the agent cautiously followed.

I snickered at his carefulness and he rolled his eyes.

"You know, you shouldn't just jump down like that, you could get hurt."

"Whatever you say, sir," I replied with a smirk. "After you."

We began walking down the tunnel, and I couldn't help but feel a little freaked out. The steps were steep, and the walls were slimy.

"This tunnel could use some creepy background music…" I whispered.

Leon chuckled. "Yeah, like the Jaws theme song or something."

"No, no. Jaws music is specifically assigned to scary water creature things. Not creepy tunnels."

"Okay, then what would be good for creepy tunnels?"

"Hmm… The thing from Friday the 13th?"

"Yeah, that is pretty creepy…"

Before I knew it, we were at the end of the tunnel, and the merchant was there again. Leon got upgrades on all of his guns. Once that was finished, we paid and thanked the masked man and walked through the door we were standing by. It opened to another part of the tunnel, and once we were safely behind it I turned to Leon and whispered, "That guy creeps me out…"

He chuckled and we kept walking. "Why do you say that?"

"I don't know… It's like he follows us everywhere."

"I thought you said you like him?" The agent inquired.

"Yeah well…"I left the sentence unfinished.

We climbed up another ladder, this one was long. It took about a whole minute just to get up. When we eventually did make it to the above grpund, there was a path that was surrounded by, you guessed it, trees! The path continued through a graveyard, up a hill, through a giant gate, and up to the church. Leon went ahead, to check the place out while I followed behind at a distance.

As soon as we stepped into the graveyard, someone shouted Alli esta! Leon took down the guy with the axe, and I took down the lady with the kitchen knife. When that was done, and after we shot the rest of the blue medallions hanging around, we walked up to the door of the church, only to find that it was locked.

"Shit!" Leon said as he pulled out his walkie-talkie.

"You like that word, don't you?" I asked with a smile.

Rolling his eyes, he began talking to Hunnigan. "Hunnigan, its Leon. The door's locked, I can't get in."

"Didn't they teach you how to pick locks at the academy?" She joked.

The blonde man scoffed. "There's some sort of indentation, like something might fit inside."

"Well, there's no use of standing around. Leon, you have to find some way, or something to get inside."

They hung up and we stood there on the porch of the church. Leon looked as if he was thinking hard about something.

"What are we going to do now?" I inquired, looking up at him. I hadn't realized before then just how much taller he was than me; it had to be at least five or six inches.

"I saw another trail over there," he answered, pointing to the left. "Come on."

The trail led to a bridge out of planks, kind of like the one above the trench. The problem was there were huge gaps in this one. Leon could jump them easily, but I had short legs…

"Just jump across, and I'll catch you!" Leon shouted from across the gap.

"W-what if you don't? What if I fall in the water and drown?" I never knew I had a fear of heights until that moment. I had even ridden on a plane, and I was just fine, but this…

In a calmer tone, he said, "Emily, I promise I'll catch you."

"You shouldn't promise things like that."

"Then if you fall, I'll jump in the water and save you. Just trust me."

I thought about what he said. If I did fall, and he jumped in after me, there was a ninety-percent chance he would land on top of me. But I decided to just man up, and jump.

"But wait, won't this jacket get in the way?" I asked.

He thought for a moment before saying, "I can't guarantee anything, but if it makes you feel better, you can take it off and just put it right there." He pointed to a spot beside me on the platform.

"And just leave it here? But it looks kind of expensive… I don't know..."

He shrugged. "It's getting old anyway… Now, are you going to jump or not?"

I took off his jacket, folded it, and set it beside me, then hung my jacket on a rail. Shivering at how cold it was without them, I took a deep breath, readied myself, and jumped.

There was that split, horrifying second or two when both my feet were in the air, and I thought I would just fall, right there, but I didn't. Leon kept his promise and he carefully, but firmly, put his hands on either sides of my waist, and set me down gently.

He must have thought I was insane, because I was blushing like mad.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

I nodded. "Thank you."

"Don't worry about it."
