Pier's POV
My search for Chris continues. I didn't think I'd take more than 2 or 3 days to find him. I guess I was wrong, but it's not really being that fruitless. With the help of the interpreter, there was confirmation that Chris have still been seen in town. I called Jill to give her the update and she suggested offering a compensation to whoever helped on the search or even a reward to who delivered him. I have been thinking about it, maybe it's the only way to make this people break their silence.
At night, I decided to go to the nightclub again. There were rumors that Chris had been seen with some of the dancers, I just needed to know which of them so I showed a picture of Chris to one of the bodyguards that worked there for a longer period. He confirmed he had seen Chris there a couple of months ago, but just one of the dancers could give more info on the matter. He pointed to the woman at the pole dance, not so much for my surprise, the woman was Yana, so I waited.
When Yana finished her performance, I made sure not to lose the track and followed her. I met her at the bar, I could see her happy face when she recognized me. She leaned her face closer to mine to greet me and talked on my ear, "Want to go private again upstairs or in my house?" she asked with a seductive tone nibbling on my earlobe
That caused me shivers and the invitation was tempting. I had a job to do and why not having fun while doing it?, "I prefer in your house."
"Alright, I'm just going to change and get my purse." She replied giving a peck on my lips
I held her by the fist, "Wait a minute, are we leaving now?" I asked in surprise
"Yeah. I make my own shift, but I came earlier tonight."
"Oh, okay…"
"I'll be right back." She replied with a wink
We made a 20minutes walk and talked about few stuff, mostly sex related. We arrived at her house and had another wild session of sex. It was already morning when I woke up laying on my back and Yana's head and arm resting on my chest as she slept profoundly.
I wish I had more of that routine back home, but work was also another thing I loved to do.
I reached the nightstand to get my cellphone carefully not to awake her up, but that plan failed and Yana lifted her head up to look at me.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. Sorry for waking you up."
"It's okay, want to play more before you leave?"
I chuckled, "This is a nice invitation, but I have a job to do and maybe you can help with that."
"Me?" she spoke with a puzzled face and I nodded slightly, "Well, can we do that after the breakfast?"
"Yeah, sure."
"That means we can play more." She spoke with a tease
"Dang, you're addicted huh!" I teased her back
"It's not addicted, I'm just enjoying you as much as I can. I know you won't stay in town for long."
"Well, I'm not complaining of the time we spend together. We can enjoy each other for as long as I'm still here, and that will depend on my job."
"What kind of job are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a friend."
"A friend?"
"Yeah, actually my boss." I replied showing her a picture of Chris in my phone, "Have you seen him? His name is Chris Redfield."
Yana didn't seem surprised, actually she made a face I could guess she didn't like him just like the other locals, "Yeah, I've seen him, the Stray Dog."
"Stray dog?"
"Yeah, that's how people call him."
"Oh I see. You don't seem to like him."
"I really don't."
"Why not? He's a great man."
She chuckled, "Maybe in the dream world. In reality he sucks!"
"Don't say that. He's my friend… my best friend."
"I'm sorry, but I can't help it. My spirit didn't get along with his."
"Why?"
"I don't know. All I know he's moody, aggressive and stinks all that booze and cigarettes he takes!"
"He's not having a good phase in his life."
"that doesn't give him the right to mistreat the others."
"Yeah, I agree, but he's cool."
Yana forced a smile, it was evident she had reservations about him, "What happened to him?" she asked
"He lost his memory after hitting his head during our last mission."
"Mission?"
"Yeah. We work for the BSAA. Have you heard about it?"
"Yeah, but is this for real? The creatures you say exist…"
"Yeah it is. 6 months ago we were nearby helping in the Edonian civil war."
"I heard about it, but I didn't really believe it."
"But it's true and it's not an easy job."
"Yeah, I guess it's not."
"Do you know where I can find him?"
"Not really."
"Do you know if he's still in town?"
"I don't think so. The last thing I heard was that he was out of town."
"Damn, when did you hear that?"
"Some time ago, I guess about two weeks ago."
"Are you kidding me?" I sighed in frustration
Yana's POV
I could see the frustration on Pier's face. I wasn't really happy or proud for omitting the truth from him, after all he was just the guy I just met and despite of my restrictions about Chris, I was loyal to my sister and only friend and I would hate myself for making her suffer even more by separating her from her love, especially now with the suspicion of her condition. I could not be that bitch even though I could understand Pier's side. That was fact, Chris had expiration date in town, but he stayed long enough to steal Evana's reasoning and heart and possibly got her pregnant with his child.
"He is our Captain… We need to find him!" he spoke in frustration
"I'm sorry, but I cannot really help you on that." I said with an apologetic tone
"Who told you that?"
My heart accelerated with that sudden question, I feared he could read my omission but for my luck, his cellphone rang.
"I have to go. Thank you for your time." He said standing up in a hurry
"No problem. If you feel like relaxing you know how to find me."
"Yeah, I might be around for a while." He said as he picked his clothes up from the floor, "Can I use your bathroom?"
"Yeah."
I opened the door for Piers and gave him a kiss before he left. Then I changed my clothes, and hurried to Evana's house. I had to put her in alert.
Piers got an info that Chris usually was seen at a street of hostels that was close to a bar and restaurant called Dora's bar. He firstly asked in the hostels about Chris, but he got nothing and then he headed to the bar.
At the location, he saw a brunette woman with loosen hair at the counter. He waited for the time she got free so he could question her about Chris.
"Good morning." He greeted her politely
"Good morning." The woman replied
"My name is Piers Nivans. I work for the BSAA. I'd like to ask you a few questions."
"About what?" the female bartender replied suspicious of him
"I'm looking for this man, have you seen him?" he asked showing her a picture
"Yes, I have seen him, he's the Stray Dog."
"His name is Chris Redfield. We have been looking for him for the last 6 months." the young man spoke
The woman gasped, "Oh, so he has a name! I knew someone would be after him eventually." the female bartender spoke with a demeaning tone
"What can you tell me about him? Have you seen him lately?"
"Yes, I did. He started coming around here about five months ago. We asked who he was, but he said he didn't even remember, so we just started calling him "the stray dog." More like a bear than a dog though, from the looks of him. He's always really depressed looking, rude, never good at paying for all the booze he drinks-pretty much the worst customer we've got here. Oh, and I heard that he makes his money by doing some kind of bodyguard work, which doesn't surprise me. Uses that money to drink and pay for his hotels. So, what? Is he in some kind of trouble or something?"
"No, not in trouble. He is a captain in our Organization. Can you tell me the time he usually comes?"
"Humm, he doesn't have a fixed day or time to come around."
"I see. Do you know where I can find him?"
"He usually sleeps in the cheapest ones in that corner." The female replied pointing with her index finger, "But only when he's in bed sheets with his wife."
"His wife?" Piers repeated her slightly surprised
"Yeah, a woman known as Scarlet sometimes pays his open debts. They live in a lavender house nearby down the street."
"She pays his bills?"
"Yeah. Here in town only married people live together, that's why we think they are married, besides they are always together and act romantically with each other."
"I see."
"That's all I know. Now I have to get back to work."
"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. By the way is there any open debt now?"
"Yes, there is. The booze he consumed 3 days ago."
Piers sighed slightly, it was the time for him to start cleaning up Chris' mess in town. He asked the woman how much Chris owed them and then he took his wallet, got the money and paid his friend's bill.
Yana knocked on the door of Evana's house and looked to the sides, not long after Evana opened it.
"Good morning sis."
"Good morning."
"Are you feeling better today?" Yana asked studying Evana's face as she entered in the house
"More or less, sometimes I still get some nauseas." Evana replied closing the door
"Did you eat?"
"Just tomatoes and papaya."
"Tomatoes and papaya?" Yana spoke with a shocked face
"Yeah."
"Don't you throw it up?" Yana asked as she sat on the couch
"Not really. My stomach is very sensitive lately and papaya is not really that bad…" Evana joined her
"Your stomach huh?!" Yana spoke with a tone of incredulity
"Yes my stomach. You know it gets sensitive when I get too stressed."
"I know even though I don't think the problem is your stomach… Anyways, I'm going to give you a few days to be sure you'll get better, and then we talk on the matter. Now my priority is to talk to you about Piers and Chris."
"Okay… anything new?"
"Yes! But before I start, is Chris already in town?"
"I don't know, I guess not. He said his boss would take a short trip. I think it would be a one week trip."
"I see."
"Why?"
"After all I found out, I have one advice to you: Run with Chris." Yana said taking her grip
"Run? Why?"
"Piers came to take Chris back to the US."
"Are you sure it's the same Piers?"
"Yes I am! We talked a little bit this morning. He asked me if I had seen Chris. I told him I've seen Chris in town, but I didn't give him any further details about you and Chris nor did tell him where to find him. I know you would get upset and hate me if I gave him the tool to separate you from Chris."
Evana forced a smile, "Thank you sis, but running away wouldn't be an option either. The last two weeks have been really tough and maybe Piers have better tools to help Chris. I really don't know what else to do and my emotional is really affected these days. I love Chris with all my heart, but above anything else I want him to get better and if that means he has to return home, I will definitely miss him a lot, but that doesn't mean we cannot have contact with each other or that we won't see ever again… My love for him is not possessive and I will be happy if he's happy even if that means away from me."
"I could support you if you were single and alone, but what if someone else depends on him? Would it be fair to the one?"
"To who else?"
"Sis… what else could be getting you so 'sick' at the level of making you eat something you hate the most: papaya!" Yana said making a face
"You think I'm pregnant?"
"I do! Unless you tell me it's impossible."
Evana opened her mouth to speak, but before she could answer, they heard knocks on the door.
"Is that Chris?" Yana commented
"He won't knock because he has a copy of the keys."
"Are you waiting for someone else?"
"No."
The women exchanged gazes wondering who could be insisting. Yana went slowly to the window and carefully parted a bit the curtains. Her eyes widened in astonishment, "Oh my god, it's Piers!" she said whispering and passed by Evana, "I'm going to hide in your bedroom, don't let him know I'm here!" she added as she rushed to the bedroom and locked the door.
Evana's heart was accelerated, but she took a very deep breath and prepared her self-control and then she opened the door.
