My thoughts go back to the night he had that panic attack. Recently I've been thinking about giving him more information, something inside my heart felt like it was the good choice, I was still trying to act all mad, knowing that deep inside I had no right to be mad, the only wrong thing is that I had feelings for him. "Fuck it" i mumble to myself and drag the G-Virus information on a Stick, deleting all the traces of doing so. Please let this be the right thing to do, he's told me so much, I just want him to have closure.. Or am I doing this because I don't want him to choose Ada over me?
I put the stick in my pocket and leave everything as it should be. "Leon!" i yell behind him and run up to him "Not mad anymore?" he remarks, i shake my head "I overreacted" he laughs "A bit, what's up?" he asks and I pull at the ends of my jacket, out of all the things I've done, let this be the one thing I do right "Just act normal" we were still outside of work, but I was too scared to be caught with it or losing it. "huh?" he looks at me in question and I slip the stick in his jacket "Look at it when you can" I reply "See you tomorrow" before walking off to my car, leaving him in confusion. 

It doesn't get better at home, instead my head goes crazy, what if someone saw us? Should I just have given it to him at his place or mine? What if he's lied to me? What if he's gonna tell on ME? What if, What if, What if.... I take my phone out of my pockets and call him, answer the phone, damn it. The moment I hear the dial tone disappear, I start talking "Leon! Did you look through it? I got everything u need to know about the G-Virus in there" Oh fuck, I probably shouldn't have over the phone "The G-virus?" a woman's voice rings and my heart drops "Who..?" my voice trembles, No...I just said something dumb to someone that isn't Leon.. "Oh, you know who I am, because I know who you are" I shake my head, Ada? "Why are you on his phone?" she laughs "Oh he hasn't told you? We kind of started working together." I always knew she had something bad going on, but Leon? After everything he told me? "Thanks though, I'll make sure he looks at the info" she ends the call, no, no, no! I am convinced she's got Leon all wrapped around her stupid finger. I need to get that stick back from her, I run out to my car and make my way to his apartment. 

This can only end horribly, why do I get myself in situations like this all the time? Just a street away, come on, get all your strength together and face the consequences of your actions for once. Please open the door, my thoughts go all over the place as I ring the doorbell, his door opens but it's not who I expected, instead I see hughes accompanied by armed people standing in the room with Ada, where the fuck is Leon?! "Torres, I'm sorry we have to do it this way" a guy takes me by the arm which I try to yank away "Leave me alone, I didn't do anything!" Hughes lifts his hand with my stick in his hands "Mrs. Wong was friendly enough to provide us with this" "Where did you get that from?" i obliviously ask, it's obvious where she got it from... "Leon" she smirks and I crumble "He wouldn't.." I whisper "Ask him" she says as I hear Leon enter the apartment behind me "Leon?" I turn around "Ada? what's going on?" he asks and looks around the room "We helped Umbrella catch the culprit" Culprit? I am not..I've been loyal for all these years! 

"Amber?" He says as Ada pulls him towards herself, he has no idea, right? he steps away from me a bit "Take her" hughes orders and they drag me out of his apartment, punching around me "Let me go, please" I yell, why is he not defending me, why is he not helping me? He's just standing there. He was in on this, right? This is my fault, I trusted him and now i need to pay. I deserve this. So I just let it happen, I let them take me. I've heard what Umbrella does to traitors, I just never knew if it was real, was I a tool all along? Tears flood over my cheeks, who could've known that Ada would be that Evil, now that I think about it, why is she helping them? Hold on, this has to be a trick, she's going to betray him again, just like he betrayed me. My stomach feels twisted and my head is in pieces. They put me in a car and drive off with me, this is my final moment.
