Empty Eyes ~ Leon Kennedy FF

Chapter Twenty

2004

"September 30, 1998. It's a day I'll never forget. The cop inside me died that day. And that night, Raccoon City was wiped out. Thanks to the bioweapons created by Umbrella. Somehow, I made it out with Olivia. But too many others... weren't so lucky. I was "asked" later to join a top-secret government program. Not that I had a choice. The training, the punishing missions nearly killed me. If I could just forget what happened that night... the pain - even for a second. This time, it can be different. It has to"

"September 30, 1998. It's a day I'll never forget. The person inside me died that day. And that night, Raccoon City was wiped out. Thanks to the bioweapons created by Umbrella. Somehow, I made it out with Leon. But too many others... weren't so lucky. I was "asked" later to join a top-secret government program. Not that I had a choice.

The helicopter landed on the helipad on top of the headquarters. The president's daughter was kidnapped and Olivia was put with a partner to save her. She was nervous to meet her new partner. 

The woman who was going to work beside Olivia and her new partner walked her to a secluded room. Olivia stood in front of the camera, holding up a board with her name and details on it. The man on the other side of the now recording camera questioned "Name?"

"Olivia Oakley" The girl replied with a straight face.

"Birth details?"

"Born at Canterbury hospital 11th of April 1978"

The man asked many different personal questions which Olivia was used to answering by now, although it continued to exhaust her. Then, Olivia was taken into the pathology room, where they had to take her blood. She placed her arm on the arm rest and let the nurse take her blood. Olivia took a deep breath as the cold tip of the syringe touched her veins. 

After, the woman who she came in with spoke up as they were walking back to the main part of the building "As you know, this is a special mission. We paired up you and another agent as you're the ones who can give us the best chance at finding the president's daughter" Olivia didn't speak, only listened through her nerves "And I think you two will work very well" The statement piqued her interest. How do they know that? "Seeming as you already know each other"

The woman stopped which made Olivia stop too. She looked up and across from her, she met with very familiar eyes. "Leon" She whispered.

"Olivia" Leon whispered. 

They didn't hear each other say their names but they were both very surprised at seeing each other again, after 6 years. 

Leon's heart squeezed inside of him, feeling guilt inside of him after remembering how things ended so suddenly between them. Olivia's heart was in her throat, wondering how he would react to seeing her again after so long. Little did they know, their hearts harmonised, beating at the same fast pace in one another sight. 

Leon noticed Olivia had longer and lighter hair than she had before - it was more a chocolate brown instead of a harsh black. She took out her eyebrow and lip piercing and had a small stud in her nose. She had a few more ear piercings, though. He knew she could never let go of her piercings. He smiled at the thought. Her eyes looked sadder and more tired than they were before. They were droopier. Her shoulders were slumpier but she straightened herself up to look more professional. He looked further down her body and she was bigger in all the right places, her breasts looked perkier and her ass was more prominent. He looked at her hands, which moved to get hair out of her face, they looked more gentle and softer. He let his mind wander, thinking about how her hands would feel on him again. 

Olivia noticed that Leon looked more mature, with a slight stubble on his face. He had darker hair, meaning that he probably hadn't dyed it for quite a while. Though, he still styled the same, parted, way. She looked down at his eyes and they were still as ice-blue as ever, except they looked more stern and rough. His eyebrows were also darker, giving him more of a fierce look. She scanned his jawline and it had a sharper shape to it. His face didn't look approachable or kind anymore, he looked harsh and intimidating, like the old Leon washed off of him. Olivia looked down at his body and he had more of a prominent chest, his abs slightly visible through his tight-fit shirt. He had bigger biceps which looked as if they were going to tear his shirt and she let her mind wander how his biceps would feel. 

The other agents around the two left them alone for a while. Leon walked up to Olivia first, desperately looking for an answer "What are doing here?"

"The same thing as you are apparently" Olivia responded.

"What are you doing here?!" He whisper-yelled. It wasn't harsh, it was more of a surprised tone.

Olivia knew what he was asking "I'm here as a part of my job. That's it. Then I'm going back to England" 

Leon couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at her answer. He knew he wouldn't be able to stop her from going to England now but he wanted to. He wanted to stop her so badly after the job. Little did he know, Olivia would give in to staying if he begged her. Although it had been 6 years, she still had really strong feelings for him. Those feelings were reciprocated by Leon, she was like a part of him that he couldn't let go of. 

Leon took a deep breath and nodded. Olivia began walking away but before that, she stopped, turning back to him "Oh, and Leon" He looked up at her "That outfit doesn't suit you" Leon smirked and also turned, walking away.
