Hello Guys. This is my new story with my favorite couple, Leon and Jill. I hope you enjoy this new adventure they are going thru. I'm not english native, so I apologize for any misspeling or confusing line.
It was morning and the sunbeams illuminated the room where Leon and Jill were lied together on the bed. He was with his belly up and she laid on her side with one of her legs over his thigh and her arm rested on his chest and her face on his shoulder.
Leon looked at her, caressed her arm with his fingertips, and was happy that they finally could meet each other after a season of long distance missions. He woke up first and tried not to move and end up awakening her. Her face was relaxed and she seemed like an angel to his eyes.
Jill slowly opened her eyes and looked up and their blue eyes met. Leon smiled kindly at her and she tried to do the same even though she was still with a sleepy face.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." he said with a low and warming tone
"Morning prince charming." She replied with a light joke and smiled
"Prince Charming?" Leon exclaimed
"For how long are you watching me sleep?" Jill replied changing the subject
"Long enough to want this to last forever." He replied resting his face on her head and hugged her
Jill enjoyed the embrace and hugged him back letting out a relaxed breath, "Yeah… I wish the time would stop now so we could stay like this for days, nights without all the negativity and just feeling normal."
"Yeah, ditto." Leon replied and positioned himself better to kiss her. They continued caressing each other for a while until his cell phone vibrated on the bedside table interrupting their romantic moment.
"Urgh come on! It's my day off!" He murmured and hid his face on her neck, as he was displeased to answer it
"Won't you answer it?" Jill asked
"If it's important it will call again." Leon replied
"It must be your wife calling you." Jill joked looking serious
"Yeah, it feels like that sometimes." Leon joked back knowing she was referring to Hunnigan and finally rolled on the bed to get the cell, "Good morning my wife, already missing me?" he joked and laughed at Hunnigans' reaction
Jill let out a laugh too and sat on the bed stretching. She was still naked and after looking for her slippers, she headed to the bathroom.
Leon took a deep breath after disconnecting the phone. Even though he knew saving the world was important, still he didn't like the often interruptions it would have in his personal life. It seemed like he didn't deserve to have a break or breathe properly. Often he'd have to abdicate from his off day or vacation due to sudden work requests and the higher his status at work, the more responsibility it took from him.
He stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He saw Jill taking her bath and he didn't think twice to join her. He looked at her mischievously and took a soap on his hand and starting passing it on her soft and wet skin. She enjoyed the sensation it caused and she in return passed the soap she was already using on his body, as he got wet as well. After their erotic session, they finished their bath separately.
Jill finished it first and went back to the bedroom to dry herself and put on her clothes, "So, do you have a mission again?" she said when Leon left the bathroom still naked and just drying his hair
"Not really. I applied to an internal course and I was waiting for a vacancy. Hunnigan called me to inform that it will be in another city. She will be in charge of my section during my absence and wished me good luck." Leon replied
"I see. How long will it last?" She asked
"Three months."
"Oh, so see you three months from now on…" She said feeling a bit sad
"Well, we still have the rest of the day and part of tomorrow's dawn. Let's make it worth like we always do when we see each other in the last 8 years." Leon said in a flirty tone and pulling her to him gently by the waist
"8 years? You are counting!" Jill said impressed
"Yeah, well, I'm including the almost 3 years of your absence." He replied
"Oh, right. Yet, I'm impressed you're counting. I admit I wasn't paying that much numerical attention, but I will now!" Jill replied a bit awkward of her lack of detail in their relationship
"You are my longest relationship ever!" he said and gave a peek on her lips
"Relationship?" Jill said surprised again
"Yeah, isn't it?" Leon said a bit puzzled
"Well, I guess. It's a unique one..." She paused smiling thinking of the best words to describe it
"Yeah… we barely see each other, when we do, most of the times something happens to get us apart for kind of long periods." he agreed with her
"Yeah, maybe that's what makes us work. We don't really have a long routine together so we don't get bored of each other." she spoke and laughed a bit
"Maybe…" he replied and they kissed tenderly
They continued together until Leon left to the airport. They wanted that day to be special. It was the day when they started getting more intimate than they had ever been before as Leon made the first step to declare that they were more than just friends with benefits.
Jill watched Leon leave her apartment. No matter how long they had been like this, it did not change the little sadness it brought with the farewell. They both expected that they would see as soon as possible and prayed all missions would go well and there would always have a return. However, they were both grown up people and knew that life goes on. She went back to her bed to take a bit more of sleep until it would be the time for her to go to work. His scent was still all over her sheets and pillows. They had had an amazing two weeks for just the two of them and that night he made her feel special like she never felt before.
Jill arrived at the BSAA Headquarter and met Chris waiting in the lobby for the elevator.
"Good morning Chris." She greeted him with a friendly hug
"Good morning Jill." He replied hugging her back, "how was your weekend?" he asked
"Awesome! Yours?" she replied with enthusiasm
"I can see that, mine was good. I was working." He replied in his serious way
"As the usual right?" She said poking him making him smile a bit
They entered in the elevator and remained in silence, as it was full. They continued talking while they walked to their cabins.
"I wasn't supposed to come to work yesterday, but I wanted to check on a new recruit file. His interview is today. Will you join me?" Chris said
"Sure. What's his or her name?" she asked
"His. Nicholas S. Kennedy." Chris answered
"S. Kennedy?" Jill said making a face
"Yes, I had the same face when I read his name." Chris replied
"Well, now I am curious. When is his interview?" Jill said
"10 o´clock."
"Alright, I'll be there." Jill said and they parted their ways as they had arrived to their cabins doors.
10:00 AM
Chris and Jill were already waiting in the interview room when the secretary informed them that the recruit had arrived and they gave her the permission to let him in.
"Mr. Kennedy you can come in." she said politely
"Thank you. Good morning." The green-eyed, brunette, Caucasian tall and well-shaped body man spoke with a confident tone
"Good morning Mr. Kennedy" Chris and Jill greeted him simultaneously
"Have a seat." Chris said
"Do you accept a glass of water?" Jill asked politely
"No, thank you." He replied with a single nod looking directly in her eyes making her feel a weird shiver
"My name is Chris Redfield and she is Jill Valentine. I received your file recruitment and talked a bit with Mr. Hahn." Chris started the talk
"Mr. Hahn is an inspiration for me. I'm glad you know each other."
"Yeah, he's a long distant friend of mine. So, what made you want to join the BSAA?" Chris asked serious
"The cause." He replied calmly
"What cause?" Jill asked serious
"To scrub those viruses or people who create it from the face of the earth. I stand and embrace any cause against it. I cannot swallow it as if it is something good or normal. Evil shall be defeated. I can't accept innocent people dying or being destroyed just because of a lunatic thinks that is saving or destroying the world just because." He said well composed
"People… So you will kill people?" Chris questioned him
"I'd rather not to. But for me those people are murderers or killers because they choose to be it. I'd never want to kill any human being or non-infected animals. I wish there would be a vaccine for any type of virus and infected ones could go back to normality. I'm sorry my honesty and I might be sounding to be cruel, but I'm not. I could never co-op with it. But I don't have pity for monsters." He replied not losing his composure
"So you live in a world black and white?" Chris said
"For bio-threats yes"
"What about survivors that were infected and still remain physically humans even though with some special ability?" Jill questioned him
"That's a consequence. Survivors are people who were infected by someone who created it. They are victims. I don't have anything against it, unless it's used to cause pain and grief."
"I see. Are you looking for justice?" Jill asked him
"Do you have any close experience with bio-threats?" Chris asked right after her
"Well, maybe I am seeking for some kind of justice, but that's all that's left for me. I lost my little sister and a few very close friends. But in the day I lost my wife I lost everything… so they are my personal cause against it." He spoke and finally some emotion was shown on his face
Chris and Jill looked at each other and they could relate to his statement. They couldn't judge him.
"Your curriculum says that you were in the military." Chris spoke
"Yes. I served for 10 years."
"Why did you quit?" Chris asked
"Because of my wife. She was very sick and I was her only family. I wanted to be with her as long as I could."
"I see… losing someone we love is never easy." Chris spoke being comprehensive
"No, it's not." He consented
"What was your specialty?" Jill asked
"Engineer, but I also had field with weaponry. Usually I worked as a sniper during missions."
"Good. And how was your relationship with the colleagues, authorities, subordinates?" Jill asked
"I wasn't the Hollywood star, but I also wasn't a trouble maker. I respect authorities and subordinates. I believe every soldier has a specialty, but it should not stop from learning more of other things. The more complete you are, the more prepared you can be for some extreme situation."
"It's true. How do you see yourself, as leader or a follower?" Chris asked
"I can be both. But I follow what is right."
"And how can you decide what is right or wrong?" Jill asked
"Based on a greater good. It's never easy to make a final decision and that's why you need to be prepared for anything. But I disgust any decision that leads to a greater evil, I mean, an obvious evil."
Chris and Jill stayed a bit silent
"Anything else? You can ask me anything." The Kennedy said
"So, you are a man of principles?" Chris spoke
"Yes, even though they are not absolute. I can always be better."
"I see. We appreciate your honesty and we'll finish it here for today. We have good reports about you, but we will also need to check your field skills. Tomorrow at the same time?" Chris said
"Sure. 10 o'clock sharp I will be here." He said
"Good. See you tomorrow and nice to meet you" Chris said while they stood up and they shook hands
"Nice to meet you too, Sir." He replied and shook firmly, "Nice to meet you too Miss Valentine." He looked at Jill
"Likewise Mr. Kennedy." Jill replied and they shook hands politely
Chris and Jill showed him the exit and then returned to the room.
"So what do you think?" Chris asked
"Well, I can't say much. I did not read his files and I do not totally disagree with his ideologies. For now I don't really have anything against him." Jill replied
"Yeah. He is a man with a lot of conviction. That was clear in his eyes, but I still don't know how much good or bad it can be." Chris said
"Yeah. In fact there was a moment that he looked at me so deeply in the eyes that I got a bit uncomfortable." Jill commented
"Well, tomorrow let's see what he is capable of, physically speaking. Let's not make it easy for him. I could see that he likes to be challenged." Chris said
"Surely. We have to prepare the training field for him." Jill said and starting leaving
"Yeah, but…" Chris said and paused as Jill looked back at him, "Why didn't you ask?" he said
"Asked what?" Jill said a bit puzzled
"The S. Kennedy thing. I thought that you would ask." Chris said gesturing a bit
"Oh… and I waited for you to ask him as you were the one who read his file." Jill replied frowning a little
"Yeah, but you are the woman and curious one here. You are the one who digs for info…" Chris said laughing a bit
"Come on! I will ask tomorrow, ok?" Jill said
"Alright. Now let's go back to work." Chris replied
They both left the cabin and headed to their personal offices.
That was it for now. I hope you liked it. What did you think of this new recruit? Friend or Foe? Let's see what comes. Stay tunned.
