Leon Kennedy X Reader

25. How To Start Again

"God help us. Alright, I'll submit the report. You three just focus on getting the hell out of there. The virus has already spread three miles past the campus perimeter and it's not slowing down. You need to hurry."

We were about to respond when Helena jumped in,

"Not before we check out Tall Oaks Cathedral, Agent Kennedy and Agent Ortega's got a lead that might tell us who's responsible for this."

(Y/N) name in the agency was still listed under Ortega... even though we were married now.

It was for protocol and practical reasons.

Partners with the same last name made it a little tricky to call them.

Helena gave us a look,

"Leon, (Y/N), is that true?"

I paused and (Y/N) looked at me, their eyes holding the same curiosity I felt.

"Yeah, I think we might have something."

I responded.

"Roger that. I'll map out the safest route there. Keep your radios on."

Hunnigan said,

Then hung up.

"We have a lead?"

(Y/N) asked Helena.

"You will if you follow me."

We ended up following her.

We were walking into a room and I leaned on a door frame as the two of them walked in.

"You're gonna tell us everything once we get to the Cathedral, deal?"

I said to Helena,

"Deal."

She responded as we all walked down the hallway.

We stopped at large double doors,

"You see one of them, you aim for the head. It's your best shot."

(Y/N) warns Helena,

"Got it."

She responded as the two kicked open the door and we all walked in, our guns raised.

We walked out onto a balcony looking down at a large food area, many long decorated tables in the giant room.

"This is where the reception was gonna be."

I said leaning over the railing.

"They'd be here eating dinner right now..."

I sighed.

"You think anyone survived?"

Helena asked,

"I hope so..."

(Y/N) responded sadly.

We went down the stairs and (Y/N) sighed,

"I cant believe this is happening again. Its just like Raccoon..."

They said sadly.

"The Raccoon City incident. You two were some of the survivors."

Helena stated more then questioned.

"Yeah... I'll never forget it..."

(Y/N) said,

I gave them a sad smile and they flash a forced smile at me as we continued to walk.

"We're going to this Cathedral of yours- but if you really did have a hand in this..."

I said to Helena over my shoulder,
