Intertwine (RE4: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Leon POV] [Book#1] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Thirty Three: Under Pressure

There was a lot of commotion going on ahead, prepping for an attack when we get to the center of this location. The radio static goes off and I unclip it to answer. 

(Saddler)-"So, it seems you killed Krauser too. How should I return my appreciation." He says with a grin.

(Leon)-"Wha? What are you talking about? I thought he was with you."  I furrow my brows.

(Saddler)-"What are you talking about? Did you really think I'd trust an American? To tell you the truth, I was contemplating how to get rid of him. But thanks to you, that's no longer necessary." 

(Leon)-"You were just using him right from the start." 

(Saddler)-"Oh, I must hand it to you... You've demonstrated a bit of promise by killing Krauser. When your assimilation with Las Plagas is complete, I'll have you serve as my guard." I scoff at the idea of that. 

(Leon)-"Unfortunately, I'm going to have to decline your generous offer. I have prior engagements." 

(Saddler)-"Hmph. Enjoy your smart mouthing while you can." He says as he hangs up. I clip my radio back and run my fingers through my hair. 

(Y/n)-"We keep going." She steps around me with confidence in her eyes. 

(Leon)-"Yeah. Stick close." 

(Y/n)-"Got it." 

We move forward cautiously, there's a swarm of them waiting for us. Shit. This isn't gonna end well. I move ahead running behind cover pulling (Y/n)'s arm to make sure she's behind it too. I peek over to see what they have planned for us...

(Y/n)-"Do you hear that?" She whispers. 

A bright light above us shines down blinding our vision. The sound of a nearby helicopter coming in. Near my radio, my ear piece begins to beep. I grab the piece and place it into my ear.

(Leon)-"Hey. It's about time." 

(Pilot)-"Sorry, bad traffic. I'll cover you." He says with a Boston accent. He directs the helicopter towards the Ganados, he flies sneakily behind a gas tower pushing it forward. One of them sees the metal supports of the tower starting to bend. The chopper succeeds in knocking the tower over, crushing a view of the Ganados. 

All hell breaks loose.

The pilot opens fire killing the Ganados, bullets are flying everywhere-- ricocheting on metal sheets. I use my body to cover (Y/n)-- making sure she's protected. 

The pilot continues to fire, the downed tower catches fire and explodes, catching the watchtower as well causing that to blow. I press my finger to the device to speak.

(Leon)-"Now that's what I call backup." 

(Pilot)-"The name's Mike. You looking for firepower you've come to the right place."
