Unexpected Meeting

3D Render by lexana

When he left a few days ago to find Ashley, he didn’t expect to find her here. Claire had been standing at the airport waiting for him as if it were the most natural thing in the world, but it wasn’t.

"What are you doing here? And how do you know I’m here?"
His voice had unconsciously taken on an accusing, almost angry tone.

"We can do this as long as we stay together, weren’t those your words?" She shot angrily back with her arms crossed.

He dropped his shoulders and sighed, "Actually, this is a top secret..."

"Yeah yeah, Kennedy," she waved and smiled at him.

He returned the crooked grin and hinted at her to follow him.

...

Meanwhile, on the one hand, he was happy to have her by his side in this madness, on the other hand, the worry that something could happen to her nagged him. It was going crazy.

He could not deny that they made an excellent team, yet he would have preferred to see her in a safe place. They were friends, no, much more, even if he didn’t really want to admit it.
He was just not boyfriend material, he lived too dangerous and traveled too much. In principle, his life consisted only of danger and secrets.

He shook his mind and looked around. The old mansion looked deserted, but with their luck, infected villagers lurked here too. Leon pulled out his gun and went up the stone steps, always making as little noise as possible.

Claire followed him closely, looking behind her, nerves as tense as his.
They had met Luis, a former Umbrella employee who had given them the tip that they would find Ashley here. Unfortunately, they could not tell if Luis was trustworthy, but Claire had dryly responded to his concerns that they had no choice.

She was right again. And that’s exactly why he stopped immediately and looked around at her as she froze on the stairs.

"U okay?" he asked softly and put a hand on her shoulder, which made her wince.

"Do you hear that too?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

He looked at her thoughtfully, almost skeptically, "No, what should I hear?"
Tensely he tried to hear something, what was she talking about?

"That’s it!" she replied, "It’s absolutely silent, too quiet if you ask me."

Leon tilted his head and listened tensely, she was right! There wasn’t even the natural sounds of nature.

That couldn’t be good.

Claire’s hand snapped forward and lay on his hand; he winced in surprise, but let it happen.

"Whatever happens next, I want you to remember that coming with you was my decision, and we’re a team. We can do this and if one of us..."

Without hesitation he pulled her to himself, kissed her briefly but harshly on the lips and nodded. "We both find Ashley, get out of this and then I invite you to dinner."

"Mr Kennedy, is this a date?" she smiled, the feeling of his lips still on hers.

"A long overdue one, Red," he replied, as he unlocked his gun, "and woe to you, you won’t come."

With a smile, she did the same, stepped next to him and winked at him. "Then let’s get this over with quickly. I can’t wait for dessert."

Leon grinned cunningly. Yes, the dessert was what he was most looking forward to.
