"Sherry? Sherry, is that you?!" I asked. Leon was just as shocked as I was, as we went over to her. She had a man with her, I didn't know who he was. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Anyway, I reached them first, and I pulled Sherry into a tight hug. "Sherry, I haven't seen you in forever!" I said. She laughed returning the hug.
"It's been way too long, Carter." She said, as we pulled away.
"Yeah, it has!" I said, and Leon came up behind me.
"Sherry, what are you doing here?" He asked. She motioned to the man behind her.
"I'm on protective detail." She said. Leon nodded.
"Yeah, I heard you joined up." He said. I swear, there was something so familiar about the guy she was with, but for the life of me, I couldn't place it!
"What are you guys doing here?" She asked us.
"We're after the man who did this. Derek Simmons, the National Security Advisor." Leon told her, and she looked shocked.
"Wait, wait, there must be some mistake...I report to Simmons, I was going to meet him right now!" She said, and my eyes widened. Sherry was like a daughter to me, if Simmons hurts my girl...
"What?! Sherry, you need to tell me where you are meeting him at!" Leon said, urgently. She hesitated to answer, I could hardly blame her. "Sherry-" Leon went to gently grab her wrist, but the man that Sherry was with jumped in.
"Hey!" He yelled, getting aggressive with Leon. Leon had his hand on his gun, as the man pulled Sherry away.
"Jake, wait!" She said. So that was the man's name, Jake.
"I thought your orders were to avoid contact...with anyone." He said, glaring at Leon and I. We glared back.
"Leon and Carter aren't just anyone. They saved my life back in Racoon City! And Carter is just like me, she carries a Virus in her body the way I do. They aren't just anyone." She said. He sighed.
"Alright..." He muttered. Sherry was about to tell us where she was meeting with Simmons, when all of a sudden, Helena shouted:
"Leon! The plane!" We looked to our right, and saw that one of the airplane turbines was headed right for us! Leon and I moved to get Sherry out of the way, but Jake beat us to her, so Leon grabbed me, and threw us both to the side of it. When we all stood up, some kind of big, hulking, humanoid thing with a mechanical arm, was staring at us! It had to be a bioweapon of some sort.
"Ugh, this guy just won't give up!" Jake said, as we all aimed our guns at it. Leon looked at him.
"Friend of yours?" He asked.
"More like an ex-girlfriend. The guy doesn't know when to quit." Jake responded. Leon smirked.
"Welcome to the club." He said, and with that, we were trying to take the thing down, but it wouldn't go down! When we took out it's mechanical arm, it just put a new one on! We were finally able to drive it away for a minute, and we decided to escape over a construction wall. We all ran over, and Jake boosted Sherry up, while Leon boosted me up. I was going to pull him and Helena up, when his eyes widened. "Carter, watch out!!" He yelled. I looked over, and the thing was getting ready to attack Sherry and I! I grabbed her, and knocked us both off of it, to avoid the incoming attack. Now, Leon, Helena, and Jake were stuck with the bioweapon, while she and I were on the other side of the fence! We both noticed a bus sitting there, and we went over to it. I checked the engine in the back.
"I might be able to get this started, if you take the wheel, Sherr. Then, we can drive this into the fence and get back to Leon, Helena, and Jake." I said. She nodded.
"Got it." She said, and went to the front of the bus. I began working on the engine, and laughed a bit.
"Just like Racoon, right?" I asked her, and she laughed a bit as well.
"I don't know, I was too young to fully understand what was happening." She said, and I sighed.
"Am I glad that you were." I said. Soon, I got the engine fixed. "Alright, start her up!" I said. Sherry did, and after a couple tries, she drove it into the fence and we rejoined the others. We continued attacking the bioweapon, and soon, a power line came down on it! We didn't see Jake or Sherry!"
"Sherry!!" Leon called.
"Leon! The Kwun Lung building at Ku Chang! That's where I'm meeting Simmons!" She called. I sighed in relief, knowing she was safe. Leon and I hesitated to leave her, but we had to go. So, we headed out. We ended up needing to go through an outdoor market, but when we got to the doors, it was locked with three different bolts. I frowned.
"It looks like they were trying to keep something out." I said. And, of course, that's when another bioweapon showed up that could be split into parts, and put itself back together! Ewwwww!
"I think that's the something!" Leon said, as we stopped it temporarily, and went to find the keys. Once we found all three keys, we headed back for the doors, unlocked the bolts, and went inside, where Leon was able to fully destroy the bioweapon. Once we got out of there, we came to a building, and we saw...Ada?! What's she doing here?!?! I tugged on Leon's arm.
"Leon, that was Ada!!" I said. We began chasing her through out the building, as she led us through traps, before we saw that two men had corned her! One of them was about to shoot her, when Leon went after him, in hand to hand combat. They went at it for a minute, before they stopped and pointed their guns at each other. That's when we got another surprise.
"Chris?!"
