Albert's POVI lied but it was a lie I was not guilty of. My only intention is her safety and if I had to lie to achieve it so be it.
Sure Claire was expecting me to be her knight in armor but sad to say her brother had to play such a role. He had been doing it for years so I don't really see a huge disappointment.
There was something that needed to be done and otherwise we would be forever fucked and fucked in the worst position.
I had to cover the trail we now had.
I stepped over another corpse, my gun still raised as I made a wide turn. Miguel followed, chatting away
as usual."I mean I understand you work with her but it's a harsh and difficult trying to please that woman..." Miguel hissed.
He had been on about his on and off relationship with Ada and my patience ran thinner with each and every word. The damn woman was so hard to work with, did he think she would be an ideal wife?
With his excess chatter and constant walking into me as though he was blind made me second guess choosing him to tag along. Perhaps I should have chosen the bitch that was supposed to have my back.
Ada Fucking Wong.
The moment the corner was made guns met Miguel and I, a man and a woman standing before me. Shit!
Did I not kill every thing in sight?
"I knew I should have brought Ada along" I hissed bitterly, Miguel issuing a nasty glare.
"Santos?" Was all I heard, the man next to me aiming his gun still, his face showing that he knew exactly what he would be accused of.
"Harper...Kennedy?" Miguel asked, my teeth now bared as Kennedy's eyes fell on me. To say we had unpleasant history would be too much of an understatement.
"Santos? What the hell are you doing here?" The female carried on. I saw in Miguel's eyes that he was partially guilty for betrayal.
"So rumours of your return to the living is true" Leon continued as he held his composer, the female doing the complete opposite as her posture indicated that she would be ready to fire anytime soon.
Breathing too hard may just cost Miguel and I greatly.
Women. Only women.
"Apparently" was my one worded reply as I indicated for Miguel to lower his weapon, Leon did the same with Miss Harper.
"Have you lost your damn mind?" Miss Harper hissed and Leon lowered her weapon for her.
"There is a fugitive standing before us" she carried on, Leon sucking on his teeth before speaking.
"Helena let it go, our teammates are dead" Leon carried on as his eyes drifted to me once more and stayed there.
I held his gaze in the same firm manner.
"Where is she?" Leon asked and while it made me bitter there is no denying that this was a man who still cared. Cared about a woman worth caring for.
"Just like lny man who is sincerely in love I ensured that she is out of harms way" I stated but let's just say Helena did not find this topic entertaining so she walked away.
Leon glanced at her but said nothing.
Miguel shuffled in his pocket immediately, something being reached towards Leon.
"You left this on our first and last mission together, been trying to get it back to you ever since" he informed him, Leon holding a small photo in his hand.
He stared at the thing with utter love. It was like finding cash buried in a old pants pocket.
My eyes locked on the photo immediately, Claire's smiling face greeting me and based on the setting I saw happiness in her eyes.
She was in love with that man and I had to accept that. If she still has feelings for him I wouldn't be surprised.
Leon looked at me, his eyes asking a respectable question. 'Can I keep your lover and my ex lover's photo'.
Sure the question burned but there was no were I would let that show.
Many would neglect but the fact that he took that photo everywhere could only mean one thing. That photo and the woman in it meant something to him.
I nodded, Miguel looking at me quite stunned. As mentioned before many in my situation would have cried rejection.
Leon looked between Miguel and I, his weapon falling in place on his hip.
"Air support will be here in the next fifteen minutes, you two should go" Leon warned, me placing my gun to it's position on my hip.
Helena who stood in the distance glared at her partner in distaste. Miguel half smirked at her, a small wink being given.
"Cheer up baby, you got me to run to if Kennedy misbehaves " Miguel teased, Helena rolling her eyes viciously.
I hopped onto a jet ski, my shades being straightened with my index finger.
"You are going to get your ass fired, that's what I should run to you about" she hissed as she crossed her arms.
"Actually I won't if you and Kennedy here keep your mouths shut" Miguel stated as he followed me and hopped onto a jet ski, the engine being toyed with powerfully.
Leon glared at me and I held his gaze.
"Kennedy..." I stated with a firm nod.
"Wesker" he replied equally firmly, Leon and the female watching us make our escape.
Been wanting to bring Leon in so long!!! Haha! There goes.
What do you think about Leon and Wesker putting the past behind them ?
Do you think Wesker will mention the greeting to Wesker?
