The team are now in the submarine, just chilling and waiting for the destination...wherever that is.

"Okay, where we at?" Leon asked, breaking the silence.

"All right. Our mission is to infiltrate the bio-research facility and seize any evidence pertaining to the hacking and the viral terrorist attack at the White House. I'll brief you further when we get to shore." Jason replied.

"We could just hack them. What's the point of even going?" Leon asked again.

"Sorry, champ. That's classified for now." Jason replied.

Belle sighed and sat down. "Always classified. Any details on the facility?"

"For now, classified." Jason replied.

Belle rolled her eyes. "Time limit?"

"Classified." Jason said
"Classified, right." Leon said along with him.

Belle just got irritated with him, everything is all classified.

"Well, I'm going to go check the gear. Get some shut eye." Jason said, leaving them with Shenmei.

Belle scoffed as Jason left.
"Has he always been like this?"

Shenmei turned to her and nodded.
"Mission is always classified."

"Not as always. Aren't we a team?" Belle asked.

"Of course we are. Now, if you'll excuse me. I've got my own business to deal with." Shenmei said, getting up.

"Let me guess....classified?"

Shenmei chuckled. "Correct."

The door shut behind her, now is just leave with Leon and Belle. The ultimate couple.

"You wanna get dinner when this is all over?"

She smiled and nodded. "Thought you never asked."

Leon chuckled at her response.
"Anyway, changing the subject...do you remember anything what happened in Spain?"

Belle tilted her head in confusion.
"In Spain?"

Leon sighed.
"You and I had a mission to rescue President Graham's daughter, Ashley. It was 2 years ago."

Belle then had another memory appeared.

Whoa, careful there. Didn't know you were this clumsy. You sure you're feeling alright?

Yeah, I'm okay. Just exhausted.

Belle rubbed her temples, which made Leon worried.

"Belle, what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing, it's just..." Belle looked at the worried Leon.

"It feels like I know you...for a long time. And...I can't even remember how did we end up with each other. My memory is fuzzy." She said.

"Memory?"

"I...I remember I was in Raccoon City...the man looked like you. Both of us were survivors, along with Claire and Sherry." Belle replied.

Leon had hope. Hoping she'll remember.
"That's all I remember."

Leon hummed in response.
"Can you tell me more, Leon? About us?" She asked.

"You and I are the ultimate couple, people say we're the unbreakable team. You never left, Belle. You always stick by my side, through thick and thin. You also have the power to heal any wounds, except healing the people who are infected. But after the mission in Spain, you disappeared. And you left me a text." Leon replied.
