When the four of you continued onwards Claire soon had left to set off to find her brother elsewhere that she believed Chris was. With promises to keep in touch, it had now been just the three of you.


"So now what?" Sherry asked.
"We keep moving forward," Leon says.
"Not sure if there will be another city for miles..." You sigh.
"At the moment this is all we can do, and if a hotel is around we can always get a room to rest," Leon explains.
"Better than nothing." You shrug.


Only, in the end, it didn't turn out that way, not long after the three of you were picked up by the US government who had seemed to take action on the outbreak. With no choice but to get on the chopper and wait for it to arrive.


For you it was a rather nerve-racking ride, sure they helped patch up your back the best they could but you felt rather...tense when they spoke or looked at you. You weren't sure what they were gonna do but you did know it wouldn't be something pretty.


Nervous at the feeling Sherry cuddled up to your side as you held her in your arms, she moved really close to you as you held her there in some form of comfort. Leon noticed your nervousness and placed his hand on your leg, when you looked over at him he smiled a bit. Silently tell you that things would be alright, that he'd never let anyone harm you or Sherry.


That actually helped a lot...until the three of you got separated, course not without some shouting and restraint.


In one room you were alone with a light on you and a camera...


In another Leon was in the same boat as well...


"Did you have anything to do with what happened in Raccoon City?" A voice asked.
"What!? No!" You replied.
"You do realize we have the authority to do as we please with you? You, that man and the little girl." The voice said.
"Keep her out of all this! She's just a little girl." You pleaded.
"A little girl with the G antibody...so look if you wish for this to work out peacefully. You have no choice...work for us." The voice said.


Honestly you weren't sure how long you'd be stuck in the game, you were surprised it took this far and nothing happened to return you home. Looking at the floor you thought about their offer for the moment before looking back up.


"You swear to me on your life Sherry will be safe?" You asked.
"We promise." The voice said.
"Fine...but only if you keep her safe, I don't want her in this anymore then she has. That girl deserves a normal life." You explain.


And from there you became an agent for the US government...even though you were rather young for one you knew if this was to keep Sherry safe and have a normal and happy life you would endure the future that would be to come.


Moments later you were lead out of the room and to another where Leon and Sherry were waiting, when the door closed their gaze turned towards your direction. Sherry was first to react as she jumped out of her seat and ran to you.
With a smile you crouched down and hugged her when she ran into your arms.


"Hey, kiddo." You mumble.
"I didn't know if you'd come back." Sherry says.
"I'll always come back to you, Sherry." You replied, ruffling her hair with a smile.


She giggled then when Leon walked over she let you two talk, though Leon could only smile and bring you into his arms, hugging him back you smiled as you closed your eyes as this man held you close and tight making you feel safer then you had been in the city you all escaped alive.


"I got a bit of news." Leon said.
"Oh? And what might that be?" You asked.
"They asked me to work for them. And I accepted." Leon told.
"Oh really? They asked me the same thing, and I agreed as well. Looks like your stuck with me for a while longer." You smirked.
