Toxins of Yesterday

Chapter Eighteen- The Right Lead

Ada Wong ☝☝☝

Leon's POV

"That's your fourth bottle Kennedy" Jill pointed out and I looked at her. If that was her way to stop me from making it my fifth bottle she needed a better method.

"I know" I stated with my eyes fixed to my cell phone, me going through the data Ingrid sent me. I was hoping that I could find something useful.

Something that would lead me closer to Claire.

Jill gave me another look. A look that told me drinking wasn't going to solve my problem.She took the bottle from me, Chris joining us.

"The bastard had some nerve, Claire probably can't stand seeing him much less to sleep with him" Chris hissed as he paced the room. I tried taking the alcoholic beverage from Jill only to have my hand smacked.

"Oh come on Chris, Wesker trained us. Mr big, dark and scary would scare any female that tried to hit on him. For all we know he could be gay" Jill stated and Chris looked at her.

"He better be gay, if he touches Claire...", Jill cut him off. I tried taking the bottle again and Jill gave me a look.

"Claire is strong, I don't think Wesker will have so much of an effect on her. That girl is though...she came to a town filled with monsters just to find you" Jill stated. Indeed Claire was strong...however Wesker was stronger.

"Well that's my Claire" Chris stated as he leaned on the wall, a sad smile on his face. His mood lightening somewhat.

They were optimistic but all I could hear were Wesker's words. There was no benefits in trying to make a bad situation look good.

"The younger Redfield is cracking and soon I'll cause her pain in the places you can't see Christopher"

I gritted my teeth, I had to wake my friends up to the sad reality. I had to be the pessimistic person in this moment. Optimism would get us no where.

Wesker was going to affect her whether we wanted to accept it or not. Breaking Claire was a source of power, a power he would gain if we don't show up soon.

"Have you forgotten he has access drugs beyond our imagination?" I asked. Chris uncrossed his arms while realization washed over Jill's face.

"He could easily drug her into having sex with him..." Jill stated and Chris stared at her, shaking his head slowly.

"That's sick and its rape Jill" Chris stated, his face twisted at the thought of that. It was possible...this was Wesker we spoke of.

"You were a cop once...how many of those cases do you see coming in...women being drugged and taken advantage of...Women who couldn't even remember their own names..." Jill stated and Chris sat next to her, hugging her.

"Jill..."

"I feel bad for the mess young Redfield is in Chris...that man is going to make her suffer" She stated as Chris kissed her hair.

"Suffer because of me, if only I had..." Chris corrected and I held his shoulder. This wasn't his fault.

"Instead of standing by Claire and ignoring my fear of falling in love I opened the door for Wesker" I told Chris who looked at me.

"Leon it's not anyone's fault...things just happen. Things happen to teach us, we just have to be patient, we will get her back" Chris stated while I stared at him, failing to believe his words.

"And this is the exact reason why good guys finish last" at that voice we turned to see Ada skipping through a magazine, her legs crossed. We all stood, our guns raised and pointed at Ada. She coughed.

"Damn this place reeks of whiskey and sweat" she stated, coughing like hell. To cease her coughing she cleared her throat.

"How did you get in our hotel room?" Jill asked, her eyes narrowed at Ada who closed the magazine and stood.

"Sorry Valentine but I don't like giving away secrets" Ada stated while Jill gave her a look.

"We can see that" Chris remarked, his gun still fixed on Ada.

"I'm not here to fight...I told you guys I'd help you and I keep my promises" she stated and Chris lowered his gun.

"And why should we trust you? You helping us must bring benefits to you" Jill stated.

"Oh it does..." Ada stated as she toyed with the curtains present in the room, I lowered my gun.

"And how will you help us?" I asked and Jill who was the still holding her gun towards Ada's every movement glanced at me. She gave me a look, the ' are you kidding me? ' look that is.

"You can't be considering her help Leon...we can't trust her" Jill stated.

"If I wanted to cause harm or start a fight don't you think I would have killed Sherry and the babies?" Ada asked, a point well made.

Ada had another motive. If she wanted us she could have had us easily.

Jill lowered her gun, Chris being the one to speak first. "You work with Wesker, why not just take us to him?" He asked, Jill looking to Ada for the answer.

"You have just answered your question Redfield...I work with him." she stated, her hand resting on her hip as she finally faced us.

"And can't you guys stop at one...three?" Ada asked, looking between Jill and Chris. She was referring to the babies...

I cleared my throat, placing my gun back to its position on my hip. "The boy is mine actually" I stated Ada looking to me, realization washing over her face.

"Why hadn't I seen this before...that explains why you want to save the red head...the reason you would give your own life in doing so" Ada stated, a small smile on her lips.

"I mean I saw the way you looked at her but I never thought..." Ada saddened for a moment, her eyes falling on me.

"You won't like what you see when you get to her...I must warn you" she continued, leaving our minds to wonder. Chris and I looked at each other before looking to Ada.

"What...what do you mean?" I asked. Had Wesker damaged Claire in some way or form?

"I think Wesker may be fond of the red head Leon" Ada stated, surprising the three of us.

Wesker...liking Claire?

"Our ex captain...liking a woman?" Jill repeated, trying to convince herself rather than re asking the question. Ada nodded, looking to her watch.

"I don't have much time left" Ada stated as she rolled her dress up, taking rolled up papers from the gun holder strapped to her thigh.

"Here, take these. This should solve your Wesker locating issues" Ada stated and I took the papers, unrolling them. Chris and Jill gathered around me.

We scanned the documents.
"But that's two weeks journey" Jill complained and Chris looked at her.

"Its better than the three years we would take to get there don't you think?" he stated and I frowned at the map. We would have to travel by water. The question was how the hell were we supposed to get a boat on such short notice?

"Ada..." I then stopped as Ada was no longer in the room with us, the only sign of her presence being the curtains which blew.

"Just great..." Jill stated, her arms crossed.

She was gone...

Think they are closer to getting to Wesker? Think Ada is genuinely helping them?
