"My grandpa went out that evening to deliver some herbs to our neighbors. He was so enthusiastic. He said he'd be back before dinner but he never showed up." Betty, Mr. Wilde's daughter explained teary-eyed.

Chris nodded and placed his jaw on the knuckles of his hand. "Did anyone see the suspect's face?"

"Long black hair, pale skin and skinny." Julianne recited. The image hazy in her mind.

"Captain, there's a call for you." Frenchie tossed a phone to which Chris caught with ease.

Chris cleared his throat. "Redfield here."

"Captain, there's an abandoned warehouse not too far from the base. There's smoke coming from the inside. Mind if we check it out?" A soldier reported from the other side.

Chris abruptly stood up from his chair and grabbed his coat. "Light a flare and I'll meet you there."

"Copy that."

Chris hopped on the elevator with the others as they made their way to the warehouse.

"What have we got in here?" Chris grunted as he pushed the double doors on his own while the other BSAA entered with their rifles on the ready.

"Captain, you should see this." Jackson called out to him as he stood beside a dead body.

Chris shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards his direction. He kneeled beside Gong Zi's body. The corpses' neck snapped to another dimension and his other arm missing. The blood has dried up already.

Geo copied his pose and whistled. "Who would do such a thing?"

"He killed him." A voice sounded from the back. A feminine one.

All of the soldiers pointed their rifles at the beholder as Chris stood up and turned to look at the person. His eyebrows met as he scrutinized the woman who stopped in front of him with a cigarette between her lips.

Chris sighed. "Don't you think it's a little too early for a smoke, Y/n?"

Y/n blew upwards and raised a brow." You were saying?"

"Captain, this kinda fits the description Julianne gave us earlier." A blonde soldier came around and locked eyes with Y/n.

"Y/n." He said. The corner of his lips upturned.

"Lance." Y/n gave him a side eye and focused her attention back to Chris.

Lance pursed his lips and exhaled through his nose. Geo who noticed his facial expressions, walked towards him and gave him a pat on the back.

"Easy." Geo whispered to which Lance nodded flatly.

"His name's Gong Zi. Probably one of those people who works in the black market and sells B.O.W's big time." Y/n explained to Chris.

Chris bobs his head. "And he is the one who killed Mr. Wilde?"

" I'm certain." Y/n firmly answered.

Zzzzz. Zzzzz.

Chris groaned as he lifted his phone from his coat's pocket to see the caller's ID.

E.W

"That sounds pretty urgent." Y/n dropped the cigarette on the floor and stepped on it. Crushing it with the soles of her shoe.

"All of you, clear out the corpses and give them a proper burial. KING, Frenchie and Tabs, bring Gong Zi's body directly to Harriet. Lance, Geo and Jackson, I want the whole perimeter of the base triple checked. LB, send a message to Andrea. The suspect has been found." Chris ordered before he left the warehouse.

" Yes sir!" The soldiers said in unison as they went to their respective tasks.

Chris answered the call while Y/n walked behind him. She slightly tilted her head to try and decipher what and who Chris is talking to but her brain failed her. Some part of her forehead pulsated. Making her stumble next to a tree and hug its body for support.

Suddenly, an arm makes its way around her waist and pulls her away from the rugged tree.

"I think you've outdone yourself." A different but somewhat familiar voice came from beside her.

Y/n had no choice but to grab onto his shoulders to hoist her upper body up. They then caught up with Chris who just hung up his call with Ethan.

"What're you doing here, Wicked?" Chris sounded slightly annoyed.

"Andrea sent me for back up. I'm here to assist Mr. Young, the fireman." Wicked's grip on Y/n tightened as if he didn't want to let go.

"Is the old man here?" Chris asked as he turned his back to them.

"Yes sir."

"Good."

"You can let go of me now." Y/n whispered to the man supporting her weight.

The tension was starting to get unbearable.

Wicked clenched his jaw and did what he was asked to. He laid out his gloved hand for her to hold but she ignored it and walked away. Wicked sighed in defeat.

"Wow." Chris clapped his hands out of nowhere.

He stood beside a person leaning against a tree.

"I never thought I would see you of all people." He added.

Ada squinted her eyes and almost knocked herself over when she saw Chris towering her. She immediately got on her feet and fixed herself. She couldn't believe that, just a mere inches away from her stood her mortal enemy who couldn't seem to catch her for years.

Chris glared at her. "Still fighting the good fight, Ada?"

Ada turned her back and said, "I was just resting my eyes."

Chris chuckled. "A good friend of mine once said: you shouldn't sleep on the job."

Y/n grabbed ger backpack from the ground and slung it around her shoulder.

"She helped me catch that bastard."

Chris nodded. A sly smirk dances around his lips.

"We need you for interrogation–"

Ada groaned. "Zhùkǒu!" [Shut up!]

Chris cackled as they walked side by side back to the base.

"I have a favor to ask of you, Y/n." Chris weaved his fingers together and settled it on the tabletop.

Sitting beside him on the round table was Diana, who's busy flipping through files while caressing her baby bump with her free hand. Y/n sat across, her arms leaning against the empty chair beside her and then there's Ada snooping around other people's business. Just Ada being Ada.

"What favor?" Y/n asks. Her eyes twitching due to stress.

"Training with the Hound Wolf. We will be dealing with high level missions and I want them to be equipped as much as possible." Chris stated.

Y/n nodded accordingly." So when do we start?"

" In four days prior. I'll be contacting you." He answered as he concluded the meeting.

Y/n stood and went around the table. She kneeled in front of Diana and smiled.

" I never thought I would become a mom in the future, y'know?" Diana said.

Y/n chuckled as she leaned in and poked her hard stomach.

"Is it a girl?" Y/n asked.

Diana shrugged. "We'll see."

Y/n planted a kiss on her stomach and stood up.

"Another addition to the Redfield clan."

Chris and Diana laughed at this. They bid their goodbyes and went their separate ways. With Ada following behind Y/n.
