A Raccoon Cop

Ada Wong

Leon steps in front of you, holding up his gun as the heel clicks from before come back. The woman appears again. "It's just me, so you can put that thing away." She gives you a disgusted look, so you give her one right back as you drink some more water.
Leon starts stumbling over his words as he gestures to the cell, "I don't even know what happened... it happened so quickly." The woman looks in the cell before turning back to you and Leon. You had stood back up and behind him.
"I told you guys to get out of here. Wouldn't wanna end up like Ben, would you?" She gestures to the dead man.
"Trying too..." You grumble to yourself as Leon asks, "You knew him?"
"He was an informant. Had information of use for my investigation." The lady turns around.
"So what he said was true?" Leon sounds horrified and sad. You both kinda feel bad. She starts to walk away, and Leon quickly grabs her arm, "Hey, you can't keep walking away from us!" The woman rips her arm away.
"At least tell us your name!" You yell to her. "I'm Sera."
"And I'm Leon S. Kennedy."
"Find a way out, Sera, Leon, before it's too late. Then we'll talk." She turns and starts walking away again. "Name's Ada."
You roll your eyes as she saunters off.
"I don't trust her. Why is she wearing heels and a trenchcoat? It's kind of suspicious." You cross your arms.
Leon looks over at Ben, "Guess the deals on..."
You poke Leon's cheek, "Yo earth to Leon, did you hear me? I don't think we should trust her."
He blushes, looking over at you. "Yeah... I think we can. She did save my life. Could've just let me die."
You give him an incredulous look before scoffing, "Right, could've just been building trust, so we'll do the dirty work for her." You walk off, "By the way, we also need power panel parts. Let's find Claire." Leon quickly follows after you.
"Claire, how goes the search? We also found a pass and need parts." You let Leon take the lead again.
"I've found one, and I've found out that there is one in the clock tower. I'm gonna head that way in a second, but I'm coming to get the gun part." You nod to yourself, and Leon starts opening a garage like door.
"We're exploring a new room, but let's all go get the other part together." You jump slightly when the sound of the power turning on turns on.
"I'd be OK with some company. Had to sneak past a few Lickers, and I'm ready for Leon to take care of them." Leon looks over at you with a sigh.
"Being the man is quite annoying." You ruffle his hair.
"We appreciate you killing the creepy crawlies."
He rolls his eyes, "Killing spiders is ten times easier..."
You turn around at the sound of barking, "Leon, time to kill man's best friend..."
He clicks his shot gun and quickly shoots down the dog that rushes at you two. You guys quickly head back to the parking garage, taking down some more dogs.
"Sera! Sera! Are you two, ok?!" Claire's voice sounds panicked.
You take the walkie back off, "Sorry, got attacked by some Zombie dogs..." You look up to see Claire standing by the police car. She rushes over and hugs you.
"Thank god..." You hug her back and sigh. Leon joins in hugging you both.
You and Claire chuckle and pull away, Leon also smiles. "The gangs back together. Shall we find the last part? I thought I found one, but it was just a box annoyingly."
You point back the way you came, "There was a door we missed, I say we go through it and see where it goes."
Claire nods, "I agree. Let's go, crew!" She takes the lead this time, and Leon goes behind you.
You keep your hand on your knife, just in case. As you head up the stairs and see you're still in the station, Leon asks, "Why don't you use a gun, Sera? You seemed like you could shoot it."
Claire straightens but keeps going forward, and you wipe your hands on your pants, "My dad was military... taught me how to fire and hold a gun. When I was 15, we were moved out here, I met Claire and Chris." You pause as you reach the top of the stairs. Claire goes and inspects the room off to the side.
"It's clear. Let's take a break and get some food in us." Both of you follow her and sit at the table. Pulling out some rations and water, you guys have a small meal as you continue your story.
"My dad had moved here to work security for umbrella. He had been discharged from his leg getting blasted off. He worked as head of security in the labs for Berkin... Sherry's dad." You close your eyes remembering. "When I turned 17, I thought it be fun to go shooting with Chris, had a bit of a crush, and wanted to impress him." You chuckle, and Claire rolls her eyes.
"It was stupid. Chris shouldn't have egged you on..." Claire interjects.
"Yeah, I should've not been stupid with my dad's gun... I shot my mom on accident, she had walked into the gate as I shot a can that was in front of it, luckily it only hit her arm... but I can't get over that fear of hurting someone I love because of it. I was in fight mode with those dogs..." Your voice steadily gets more quiet, "but all that ran through my head afterward was my mother's blood, the screams, and my fear..." You clear your throat and drink some water, squeezing Claire's hand that she offered you.
"I'm so sorry... Thank you for shooting the dogs." Leon smiles gently to you.
You blush and shrug, "I feel more in control with a knife. I know where it's going and can change the projection if I need..."
Claire punches your arm lightly, "Plus she's a wizard with it."
Leon chuckles after you do. "Thank you for telling me." You smile feeling a little better having told your story.
After some lighthearted chatter and more water, you all stand and stretch. You quickly typed out a stupid note on the old typewriter, Claire, Leon, and Sera were here.
"Alright, time for more badass butt kicking." Claire says with a smile as she opens the door. You and Leon closely follow after her.
Heading down the hall, you all get back into fight mode as Claire shoots down two zombies. When you get the garage type door open, Leon looks pained after Claire shoots the police dude zombie that was in half.
"Sorry Elliot..." He whispers behind you. You guys quickly head into the main area.
"Let's check on Marvin -" You stop at the dead body of your friend.
"Sorry, he... came after me..." Claire says with a pained look. You nod sadly and lean down to close his eyes.
"Thanks for putting him to rest." You say after standing. Leon clasps your shoulder in a show of support.
"At least it didn't have to be us." He smiles kindly to Claire.
She nods and squeezes your hand, "Let's keep moving. We can mourn when we are out of here." Leon says as he reloads his guns. "Now, where's the clock tower?"
Claire shows you guys on the map and you start the trek.
