Caught in the Eyes of a Stranger
Chapter 5: Weapons of
Mass Distortion
By: Khas Klwn
'It's a simple plan, yet complicated and delicate. The objective is to make Ada evil in Leon's eyes...' Ingrid's anger towards Ada grew and grew the more she thought about her and Leon together. Ingrid replayed what was to happen over and over in her head. A bunch of little things will make a big ending. An ending Ingrid hoped would conclude Ada being alone, and herself back with Leon. But to accomplish this mission she was on, she'd need an accomplice.
'Who hates Ada Wong...' she kept staring and skimming through Ada's file. 'Can't use this Krauser Guy, don't think I'd want to anyways. I'm not looking to kill anyone...oh he's dead.' skimmed some more. 'Underground Bounty on Ada Wong?' Ingrid was beginning to fear Ada if she had such a bad reputation with a lot of people. 'The poster posted a million dollar reward... his name is Nicholas Grant... Owner of a popular medicine producing franchise named Unibrand. I wonder what he wants with Ada Wong...' Ingrid went to type in his business name in a search engine to look up a phone number. Skimming only briefly she found on and quickly apprehended a phone.
Elsewhere.."ahhh... nssh" Ada almost let out a sneeze.
"God bless you." Leon let out.
"Thank you." Ada let out.
"You know they say you sneeze when someone is thinking about you." Leon said.
"Well stop thinking about me then you evil sneeze inducing parasite." Ada let out smiling as she noticed the sign welcoming them to Indianapolis. "Ah we're in town finally." Ada let out.
"Yea, I had the weirdest dream like 4 minutes ago." Leon told Ada.
"What? you're driving..." Ada let out confused.
"Joke... I got it from a movie." Leon said feeling like a failure to make Ada laugh.
"Oh... Sorry I don't watch movies often." She let out.
"Or none at all." He snarked.
"I've seen movies before." She said defensively.
"Name one." Leon said.
"Uhm..." Ada thought.
"You already lose if you have to actually think about it." Leon replied.
"Bah whatever, they're all so fake anyways." Ada let out.
"That's the point." Leon let out.
"Turn here." Ada said pointing at the exit ramp.
"Those are trees." Leon implied as he began turning the other way. Ada snickered at Leon's fake impression of being dumbfounded.
"Shut up and take the ramp before this semi-truck says otherwise." Ada said as Leon got into the exit lane.
"Ada, before we get there I have to say this again. You're awsome." Leon said realizing the trouble she must've went through to plan this all out.
Back at Ingrid's Office"Hello, thank you for calling Unibrand, an employee will be with you shortly." Ingrid heard over the phone. Elevator music began to play as she tapped her fingers on her desk waiting impaitently. Ingrid couldn't believe she was doing all of this to get Leon back. That means I do love him right? That's silly of course I do.'
"Hello? How can I help you?" a lady answered finally.
"Hi, I'd like to talk to Nicholas Grant." Ingrid let out.
"Nicholas Grant is not taking any calls at the moment." She replied.
"Even if it's possible news of Ada Wong?" She let out.
"One moment please." Ingrid didn't know why her heart was beating a little quicker. Hopefully he's also not looking to kill her. "He will talk to you shortly." 'Wow that was fast' Ingrid continued to wait.
"Hello?" Ingrid heard coming from her phone. This time it was male.
"Mr.Grant?" She let out.
"Yes, just call me Nicholas. I heard you have Ada Wong information." He let out cutting it to the chase.
"Yes, but before I reveal anything. I'm not interested in the money. I simply need some assistance." Ingrid let out.
"Yes yes, where are you calling from? I'll fly down there immediately and we'll talk business." He let out hastily.
"Well... I'll give you my number, and you call me after you've reached Washington D.C." Ingrid told him.
"Good good, number?" He asked.
"202-335-0896" Ingrid spewed out the numbers.
"All right, you'll be hearing from me in approximately 2 hours." Ingrid was baffled by this man's need to have Ada Wong's location.
"Goodbye Nicholas." She let out.
"Bye." with that he hung up.
Indianapolis"Park there." Ada let out pointing at a parking spot that was the closest one they could find to the stadium.
"Wow, never been to a real game before. Didn't know how hard it was to find a parking space." He let out.
"Yea looks like we need to hike a mountain to get there." She laughed.
"Not only that but we gotta pay for this parking spot." Leon said as he inputted quarters to make sure it lasted a long time.
"Awwww.. not the whole 2 dollars!?" Ada said smiling.
"Hey... those two dollars could buy a drink." Leon let out.
"So can your other four hundred." Ada said.
"So..." Leon said defeated.
"Let's go." Ada said holding out her hand. Leon briefly looked at her hand before interlocking his fingers with hers.
"You know holding hands is what high school kids do." Leon said.
"I wouldn't know I didn't learn in a high school." Ada said.
"Oh..." He let out learning more about Ada everyday.
"I like holding your hand anyways. I don't care if adolescent people do it to." She said smiling.
"Ok." Leon said laughing a bit.
"Where did you learn by the way?" Leon asked.
"Let's just say it was worse than you going to boot camp." Ada let out.
"That's horrible." Leon said concerned.
"Not really, otherwise I wouldn't be as strong and quick to think on my feet as I am today." Ada said looking away from Leon.
"I see." He said.
"Anyways this should be a fun day. Not a day to dwell on past misfortunes." Ada said trying to change the topic.
"Right."
At Jill's House."NooooooooooooO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Jill heard Chris scream while eating Chris' last string cheese. Chris came darting into the living room. "You!" Chris said pointing at Jill. "I knew it... betrayed by my own love!!" Chris dropped to his knees and pretended to cry.
"I guess you can have half." Jill said peeling it in half.
"YES!" he exclaimed as he jumped back onto his feet. Jill laughed as well did Chris, jokes keep people alive and minds off old terrors.
"Well, let's be sure to leave Leon a message on his house phone and see if he'd like to double date at a resturaunt tomorrow with us." Jill asked Chris.
"You're closer." Chris said pointing at the telephone.
"No... you are." Jill said scooting down the couch pass Chris.
"No!" Chris ran down the hall into another room. "You are!" Chris screamed.
"You're so lame!!" Jill grabbed the phone and dialed Leon's home phone to let him know about a friendly double date dinner.
At the Stadium.
"Lets sit here." Ada said choosing some seats toward the end of the balcony.
"Ada, we have to sit where the tickets match the seat." Leon let out. Ada shrugged and sat down anyways. Leon sighed as he walked up to Ada. "Didn't you hear me?" Leon asked as he neared Ada.
"Yea, sit down." Ada said.
"You don't care?" Leon asked. Ada rolled her eyes and pointed at the seat number next to her.
"Ohhhh... why didn't you just say these were the seats." He asked.
"I did." She answered.
"The way you talked made it seem like you just wanted... bah nevermind." Ada leaned over and pecked Leon's cheek.
"I'm just teasing you, stop thinking so hard all the time." Ada laughed.
"I'll show you thinking hard." and grabbed some of Ada's drink and drank some.
"Hey! you weasel" Ada complained. Leon handed back the drink after sticking his tongue out teasingly licking his lips like he just had the most orgasmic drink ever. Taunting Ada with his grin of victory.
"You're behaving like you're 12." Ada let out.
"That's like 30 something in weasel years. So I'm still good." He laughed.
"I love you, you prick." Ada said grinning.
"And I you." As Ada leaned her head onto his shoulder. Leon wrapped his right arm around her shoulder and hugged her in close.
2 Hours Later at Hunnigans Office.Ingrid's phone rang over and over. Ingrid was slightly intimidated to pick it up, seeing the caller was from Nicholas Grant. The meeting he wanted was sure to begin soon.
CHP END.
