Raccoon City 1998

Chapter 8: In the Sewers, We Go

Striding down the sidewalk, Ada listens to the recording of Ben and Annette. "Is that the Intel you needed?" Leon asks her, Ada just sighs "Unfortunately, no. Ben didn't come through." she answers, "How shocking." Annabelle answers in a dull tone as they cross the street. "Well, what exactly are you looking for?" Leon asks her, Annabelle felt a sudden in her chest as Leon was getting close to Ada. "More info on the people responsible for this mess," she answers him.

Annabelle shoves her hood back onto her chest and crosses her arms as the ping in her chest was stinging her. "What about you? Trying to save then world?" Ada asks him "I told Lieutenant Branagh I'd bring help." Leon informs her. "Good luck getting that..." she tells her. "I got Annabelle," he states, making the younger Wong look over at him.

Ada rolls her eyes, "You clearly don't know my sister, survival is her only interest. She'll stab you in the back the second you threaten her survival chances." she states, Annabelle clutches her fist. Leon shot a look at Ada then one over at Annabelle as she was next to him. "Maybe, but survival is everyone's best interest," Leon informs her and both sisters looked at him in surprise. "Annabelle hasn't betrayed me yet, besides, I trust her," he states.

Annabelle immediately looks away, feeling that familiar flush rush into her cheeks, Ada looks away as they came to the end of the road, due to construction. "Road's out. Going through the gun shop looks like the only way." Ada informs them and strides over to the doors.

The two followed her as they stop in front of the door and she began to pick the lock, unlocking the door and they step inside, "What a mess." Ada mutters, Annabelle removes her hood and looks out at the scattered shelves and paper all over the shop. Ada examines the mess as Leon looks around, finding supplies and ammo, along with a shotgun barrel upgrade. Annabelle looks around the room, seeing there was barely anything left.

Then Leon steps to the back door, stepping back outside until someone steps out and aims a shotgun at him. "Don't move," he orders him, Leon did as he said and remained still. "I'm not going to hurt you—" Leon promises him. "I said DON'T MOVE!!" the man, Kendo orders him again. Then a gun was pressed against his temple as Annabelle was standing next to him, "I would remove the barrel away from his head, if you want to keep yours." she warns him. "Annabelle, wait!" Leon said to her and she did so, keeping her gun on him.

Leon sighs as he lowers his hands, "We're just passing through. I'm going to ask you to lower that weapon." Leon informs him, "Like hell you are. You're gonna turn around, and go back the way you came in." Kendo informs him, Annabelle cocks her hammer as she presses the barrel against Kendo's temple. "Don't push it," she warns him as Leon looks over to the back, seeing a little girl, stepping out in the rain.

Annabelle looks over at the little girl, she can feel the virus inside her, but she was immediately frozen in her place. He exhales, looking away. "I think your daughter needs help, sir," Leon tells him. Kendo cocks the barrel. "Don't tell me how to deal with my daughter," he orders her, then Ada steps out, aiming her gun at him. "Drop it." she orders and Kendo steps away.

But Leon and Ada aim their guns at him as Ada turns hers to the little girl. "No, wait!" Kendo tells her, stepping in front of his daughter. Annabelle snaps out of her trances and looks at them. "Step aside. We need to terminate her before she turns." Ada informs her.

Annabelle shot a look at her sister and looks away, executing a child? That wasn't something Annabelle was capable of. "Terminate? That's my fucking daughter!" he informs her. The child sighs softly. Then Annabelle marches to her sister and points her gun away.

Then Leon looks at the older Wong, "Ada, just let them be." he tells her. She shot a look at him and lowers her gun, then he looks at Annabelle as her eyes lingered on the little girl. "Emma, sweetheart, I told you to stay put." Kendo tells her, she just looks up at him, "Daddy...?" she mutters.
