Strange Comfort (RE6: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Book#2] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Thirteen

(Time Skip)

I stare at the window blankly...my eye lets out a silent tear, letting it drop and hitting the arm rest of the chair. Tall oaks is gone, my friends are dead...my cat, gone too. I hug my knees closely to me, I feel a wave of loneliness hit me-- I want to go home but I can't...it's been destroyed. Gahh-- stop! Stop letting this feeling get to me. I get a whiff of the new set of clothes that was given to me.No reason to keep my uniform. My hair was slightly still damp in some area's, glad that's over...I'm sticking to dry land from now on.

(Leon)- " Hey." I hear him standing next to the empty seat next to me. I quickly wiped my eyes, removing the tears away. I turned to him, he had a silver briefcase with him.

(Y/n)- "Hey" he moved to sit across the table from me. He was dressed in a blue button down shirt, and a black tactical vest. He brings his hands folded on the table, setting the briefcase right beside him. He was wearing fingerless gloves, reminds me of him back in the day.

(Leon)- " You feeling okay?" he asked softly.

(Y/n)- " Yeah. How's Helena?" I quickly asked.

(Leon)- " She's fine, Hunnigan is keeping her out of sight."

(Y/n)- " Oh, good.." I trailed off. He glances at me deeply, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Ahhh-- what do I say?

(Leon)- " I got something for you" he grabbed my interest. He takes the silver briefcase and places it on the table. He flips the locks and opens it, turning it around for me to see whats inside. There lays a tactical vest, a new handgun and a device, plus an ear piece.

(Y/n)- " What is this?" I know what all this is for, I want him to explain it for me.

(Leon)- "I don't like the idea of you coming to China with me..." he leans forward, his hands off the table, resting on his knee.

(Y/n)- " Then why are you giving me this?"

(Leon)- " Remembering you.....I know how stubborn you are, you're not going to take no for an answer." He's right, I'm not. Helena asked me to do this for her..but part of me is also not doing this for her, maybe for myself too?

(Y/n)- " I'm not qualified for all this...?" I questioned my abilities.

(Leon)- " Technically, I'm breaking protocol giving you this...but seeing that I'm dead, it shouldn't matter."

(Y/n)- " Uh-- erm.." he has a good point. I give him a long stare, trying to figure out what to say next.

(Y/n)-" Are you sure this is okay?"

(Leon)- " Hunnigan's already on board." And she said yes? Maybe cause Helena is hurt and Leon can't go to China and stop Simmons himself. I looked to the vest and the goodies in the briefcase. The weapon looks very nice-- better than the standard issue back at the station, the one I lost--or lost me, actually. I stood up and scooted out my seat. I push the briefcase closer to me and take out the vest to examine it.
