LADY IN RED
CHAPTER 1: ORDINARY LIFE
.
.
"For the next time you see her ..."
For the umpteenth time I looked at it, saw the butterfly symbol that became a typical of her, watching every detail of this tiny thing. Yes, this is one of the tools that she used to keep a chips contain an evidence data of Derek Simmons's crime. An evidence to clear my name and Helena.
Her compact ...
Ada Wong.
.
.
Washington D.C., December 2013
It has been several months since it happened. Tall Oaks and Lanshiang tragedy that shook the world, evidence of B.O.W threats that could destroy mankind. After grieving the death of a former president of the United States, as well as my friend, Adam Benford ... American people are now preparing for a new presidential election. I'm not interested in politics, which clearly now D.S.O unit where I work is being frozen for a while. Since the originator of the organization, , also a minister of security Derek Simmons, was dead. I was placed as an security agent for the U.S. government. And the good news, now I'm back to enjoying life. A normal life without being around zombies and monsters.
And unfortunately, all of a sudden my cell phone rang.
"Leon, where are you?"
Sigh. Hunnigan.
"In my apartment, Hunnigan. Do you realize what time it is? " as I looked it already two o'clock in the morning," Go home ... Your parents worried about you. "
"None of your business, Leon. I still have some work in the office for important meeting. You already know your job? " she asked curtly.
"No information whatsoever ..." I said. I hope not difficult, because I still need this normal days.
"Yes, it was rather sudden. You were assigned to guard the important guests, Leon. They are the responsibility of the U.S. government, several agents have been deployed, including yourself ... "
"…"
"Leon, do you still hear me?"
"Ah ... Uh, yeah Hunnigan. What time do I have to work? "
"At 9 am, Leon ... Well, see you soon... Good night ... " and Hunnigan hung up.
.
.
I wish I was strong enough to protect her, or at least to get her out from Racoon City. Why is she protecting me? Why do I have to see her died in my hand? I'm not strong enough to save people ...
"I hope you will work with us, ... You have the experience and we will train you to be a reliable agent. For the U.S. government. "
Yes. I think this is the only way I can get stronger, but alsi to ensure the safety of Sherry Birkin. I need to improve my ability ... So I won't let bad things happen again like in Racoon City.
"According to our informant, Albert Wesker is still alive. He worked with a female spy, seems like an Asian women ... they are dangerous. Do you know them, Leon? "
"No ..." I said.
Oh God. She's still alive?
.
.
.
"Long time no see, Leon ..."
.
.
"ADAAAA!"
I'm awake, trying to catch my breath, wiping my sweat.
Apparently it only a dream, a dream that often comes and makes me feel like a fool. As if I can not escape from the past, when it was already fifteen years since Raccoon City's incident. Many times dreaming of the incident, suffering, regret about that woman.
Ada Wong. Ada Wong.
Again it's Ada Wong ... A woman were I thought to be a victims of Raccoon City, a spy who turned out to help me and gave her life. I saw it, even I hugged her when she breathed her last. For six years I was in training American agency, trying to overcome the feeling of depression that made me give up so many times and wanted to die. My only power to go through all this are Sherry and Claire, who fared the same with me. Also I feel guilty because I had no strong to save people.
But it turns out that she's still alive.
Even worse, a woman who I regret for over six years, working with Wesker. One of the demons behind Umbrella Corporation that caused all the bio-terrorism. Umbrella that really made me angry and disgusted. Ada Wong is a professional spy, how stupid I am? But I don't hate her, honestly deep in my heart, I was grateful to see her alive in Spain.
.
There's not much time left after waking up and getting ready. I jogged up to the stairs to my office. "Oh thank God, I'm not too late .." I said, glancing at the clock. When I opened the door, it turned out the agents are already lined up, divided into two rows.
"Agent Kennedy, please join the group to the right of you," from the front Hunnigan gave an order, "... A repeat of what I said before, today, some of an important American and some ministers, are also researchers from other countries come. They will hold talks on the peace plan and control the impact of terrorism, made an alliance for peace. This event is important, all the guests are a priority and they're under the protection of America. "
Hunnigan continued, "The agent is on my right, will be led by Agent Brooke to monitor the area outside the building including the courtyard and security entrance and exit. Instead, Kennedy will lead the agent overseeing the event from inside the building. Report any activity that looks suspicious, always calm with a professional manner. Understood? "
"Yes, ma-am!" Everyone said.
"Good luck, agent …"
And we went into the Conference Center.
.
.
ARA Executive Conference Center, Washington
This place is a relatively new and luxurious. I can smell the scent of wood that adorn the interior side of the wall, each room with an exterior clad in luxurious and elegant impression, with hidden light on it. Guests have started their show since two hours ago. They will hold a break for lunch right at 12 o'clock, and the meeting will continue till 4 pm. After that we still had to escort them to the hotel. I sat in front of the meeting room, only accompanied by a cup of black coffee that was getting cold, and still felt drowsiness. All agents are deployed in several rooms, in every hallway and corner of the building. I was waiting for the report of their position.
"Leon?! I never thought I'd see you here! " Said one woman.
"Helena?" I was shocked. Helena Harper, my partner while we were on a mission in Tall Oaks and Lanshiang.
"You look more 'manicured' from the last time we met at the funeral of Deborah... it looks like you're fine."
"Yea I guess I should thanked to a razor and barber shop?" I chuckled, "What are you doing? I think the Secret Service division is not supposed to be here .. "
Helena sat in front of me.
"I had to accompany one of the guests, she was Mrs. Rosette. We met when I was still working for CIA, she asked me to accompany her because she had a sort of 'can not trust anyone' personality .. But luckily I met you, it feels too tired of waiting. Anyway, good to see you again, Leon! "
"Well, I feel honored. There is a beautiful woman who seems miss me? " I teased.
"Hahaha ... A man who always thinking about the other woman it's not my type, Leon..."
Ugh. That words really stabbed me.
"Hee ... I don't understand your words," I was evasive.
.
"Have you met again with Ada?" she asked suddenly.
I just shook my head, "Of the hundreds of topic, why ask about her?"
She just chuckled to respond it.
"I guess because it's the side that you want to keep, but can't be covered ..." Helena looked at me, "As I said at that time, you have feelings for her, don't you?"
My true feelings about Ada Wong?
"To be honest, it's also a question that I asked myself, Helena."
.
Then because Helena insisted me with some questions, I told her briefly about Ada Wong. Not because I don't want to tell her, but it's because I didn't know much. Of course I didn't mention that she was a spy or working with Wesker, because it will be dangerous.
" A Mysterious lady that caught your attention for fifteen years. Oh God, Leon! You've known her for fifteen years but didn't know herself clearly. Your relationship up to now there is no certainty, even she was a target of the B.S.A.A? Hmm... Oh sorry, I mean now she's not the target anymore, because they think Ada Wong's already dead … " Helena tried to capture the essence of my story," But ... I think you should make a move, or give up altogether against her. I'm even surprised you can last that long! "
"Helena, it's not as easy as you think. I'm not su .. "
"Don't want to believe that you have feelings for her?" Helena interrupted me, "It is clear from what you did, You are sure that she is a part of your life that you can't let go."
Helena's words pierced me again .. as if she could read my mind.
Our conversation was interrupted by a report from one of the agents in meeting room, already 12 o'clock. It's time for lunch. The guests one by one out of the room to the dining room, with a variety of languages, greet each other or get acquainted with a new colleagues. We turn to the room and checking from behind. The room was quiet when we went in to check on.
"LEON!"
I turn around and paused, saw a blonde woman who I've ever known. Her hair was long and she was wearing a black formal dress with a matching purse, also bring a yellow folder. She smiled broadly and come quickly towards me. My memory was spun, recall the events in Spain, 2004. My first job as an U.S. government security agents. It was already nine years since the last time I saw her.
"Ash ... Ashley?"
.
"Leon! Oh my goodness, it's been a long time... How are you? " Said Ashley friendly as she extended her hand to shake hands.
"I'm fine, Ashley ... Oh let me introduce you to ..."
" Miss Helena Harper, of course. I heard a lot about you, " cut Ashley and now she goes to Helena," Hello, my name is Ashley Graham. I've read every article about you in the newspaper, about the Tall Oaks also Lanshiang .. you guys are really great! ".
"It is an honor for me, Miss Ashley. How is Mr. Graham? "
"My father? Hahaha, he's healthy ... Still love to play chess and golf as usual, " she said pleasantly," Leon, you seem to have some fate with B.O.W cases, but fortunately you can survive. "
I just smiled.
.
Time actually turn Ashley into a different person, I've never thought a 20-year-old girl who used to cried and searching for my help has now turned into a charismatic women like this.
"You ... have changed, Ashley. I almost didn't recognize you, " I said," in a better way, of course. "
" Thanks. Everyone can change, Leon. Depending on their wishes, in the direction of a good or otherwise. You could say that for nine years I've been thinking a lot, especially after a bad experience in 2004, I wanted to fight for the people to be free from the threat of bio-terrorism. That's why I'm here now .. "she said with a certainty and cheerful tone.
"Wow, that was a glorious vision. Yes yes, Miss Ashley, but we should soon join to the dining room ... You must be hungry. Let I accompany you to go there... " then we walk into the dining room, chatting briefly. Helena got a call from Mrs Rosette so she left us alone. Ashley was busy telling about her participation in government programs this time, she looks very confident and excited about the prospects of this program.
.
.
"Leon, are you married?" Ashley asked suddenly.
I was surprised and I could not help but laugh, and she just looked at me with a puzzled look.
" Hahahaha .. Married? Ah, uh, sorry Ashley ... Not yet, my life is surrounded by monsters or zombies, I can't choose among them. Which is more appropriate for me to marry? "
"Ah, you. But at your age you should start thinking about it, Leon. .. "Ashley said with a laugh," You have a lot of beautiful agents around you, which of course has not turned into a zombie. "
Yeah, I'm just speechless to hear her advice.
"But your charm is still strong, Leon. You know what? Before I came out of the meeting room, I was talking to one of the participants. She's very pretty, I think I've seen her somewhere ... yaa but I forgot, maybe she's one of my father's agent. Suddenly she wants to meet you. Thanks to her also, I got to know you were in that room. Interested? " she offered.
"Thanks for your offer, Ashley... Okay, now we get to the dining room." I hang her invitation, I'm not interested. I was getting ready to turn around and continue the patrol, but Ashley's hand held me back.
.
She led me into the dining room... The dining room is quite spacious and the tables have been prepared in such a way to form multiple groups. Most of the seats have been filled. The waiter brings the food, offering drinks, or clean the dishes. The guests were enjoying lunch at a specified table, talking and joking each other. Me and Ashley walked around the room, she was looking for someone.
"It's strange, she wasn't here, Leon." Said Ashley.
"We were the last out of the earlier room. Maybe she went to the restroom? Well, it's your chair, Ashley." I said, pointing to one of the empty seats with a signboard read 'Ashley Graham'," Besides, you will meet her again in the meeting room. You have to get your lunch, and I also had to go back on patrol .. Come, sit down."
"Unfortunately, Leon. I intend to introduce her to you .. I think you will suit her. Well, you will met her soon anyway. She was wearing a red shirt and very pretty .. Maybe she is an Asian, huh? "
.
Those words made my heart beat faster.
.
"What's her name, Ashley?"
Ashley was amazed at the change of my attitude.
"Ah.. There is something, Leon? I do not know her name, she ... OH!" She quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper,"She left this for you. Maybe she gave her number to get acquainted?"
Red paper.
I unfolded it, and for a moment my vision was dark.
.
.
.
"You look handsome as ever, Leon ..."
XOXO

Author's Note:
Hello... Greetings! This is my first time writing fanfic, and it was decided I would write about Leon x Ada ... \ (^ _ ^) / * yeaaayyy ~ ~
The setting was taken after RE 6 so a bit much it contains a spoilers ... For the readers who curious but could not play the game, if you watched the cutscene, you would definitely understood. And there are some flashbacks taken a little of the previous RE stories.
The core of this story is actually simple, to emphasize Leon's feelings about his complicated relationship with Ada for fifteen years.
I sincerely apologize about my bad English (included my poor grammar hehehe), I hope you still understood what I've tried to say here. I will wait for your review and comments. See you in the next chapter :D
