Resident Evil Modern Warfare II: Operation Deadbolt

Chapter 11

Jill sits in her room after the exhausting extraction of Dr. Jansen. She takes off her tac gear and her blue top as she sees some bruises in the mirror nearby. She then takes off her boots and her gloves, tossing them to the side leaving herself barefoot, in jeans and her bra. Unbeknownst to Chris, Jill had taken up a smoking habit like he has, only during times where she genuinely needs it. She takes out and lights up a cig, takes a puff and lets it all out. Jill grabs her laptop to get in contact with Chris, hoping to sneak in a chat during his joint op with Task Force 141 in Madripoor.

She takes another puff as she waits for him to pick up.

"Jill?" said Chris answering.

"I take it this is a bad time?" she asked him.

"No. No not at all. It's actually good to hear from you. Wait...you smoke now?" asked Chris.

"Only when I'm stressed." said Jill taking another puff.

"I take it you're settling in with Deadbolt?" he asked.

"Doin my best. Things are getting crazier by the day."

"You should tell me about it someday Jill."

"Technically I can't but...You know I will eventually."

"I hear you working close with MacTavish..."

"Soap's been a grand help in all this. He doesn't seem to remember how he died. Says things have been fuzzy." explained Jill.

"I'm sure Price and the others will sit him down eventually." assured Chris.

"Have you checked in on Rose?" asked Jill.

"Claire's been taking good care of her ever since Terrasave had her finish up with Al Mazrah. She always did wanted a niece. Or a nephew. for that matter." explained Chris.

"Hopefully after we're done, we can spend a little more time with her. Hard to believe she's gonna be four in August." said Jill.

"Even harder to believe either of us would be parents. Let alone adopt a kid." said Chris.

"Let me remind you that it was you who adopted her after your mission in Romania. Sad that her dad gave her to you." said Jill.

"Her dad has his reasons. I just still wished I could've saved them both." said Chris.

"You tried. That's all that matters. We gotta teach her to be strong. BSAA protection or not." said Jill.

"Yeah. Yeah I know."

"You said Terrasave's been having Claire work Al Mazrah? She'll might have to work Urzikstan when I'm done here too." said Jill.

"Maybe that spare time we could...do something."

"Like what?"

"You, me, Rose at an amusement park? Or vacation in Europe?"

"Like a date?"

"Sure. Let's go with that."

Jill smiled. "Alright. Date it is then."

"Guess I'll be letting you get back to it then." said Chris.

"Hopefully not for much longer." said Jill.

"Good luck out there Jill."

"You too Chris."

They both wave goodbye as Jill closes her laptop to take another puff.

*Knocking*

"Shit"

Jill takes one last puff and puts out her smoke and gets herself decent putting her top back on. She opens the door to see Dr. Jansen herself.

"It's Jill, right?"

"Yeah."

"I just wanted to thank you for saving my life today. I know I called you and your Deadbolt friends arseholes, but you ran through literal hell to get me out of there." said Ava.

"It's my job. Always been." explained Jill.

"Sadly a job that's far from over I fear. As much as I'd let you take a reprieve, I'll be needing your help with a few things. Deadbolt needs me to build a machine to counteract the Aetherium and I need some data from you. A zombie type called the Disciple and Storm caller. Ravenov said he wants you in the Tier 2 zone as early as tomorrow." Ava explained.

"Consider it done." said Jill.
