Chapter 2: Trouble

Time and Place: June 14, 2005; Washington D.C.; FBI AND CIA Building parking lot; 9:55 p.m.

After leaving the FBI/CIA Building, Leon arrived to the parking lot to where he parked his car. Leon couldn't believe that his flight leaves on the same night that his mission was assigned. Leon thought to himself, Tonight? Oh come on, Chief. It's just a kid. Yeah, I mean, sure he needs to be rescued, but dude, SERIOUSLY?! I can't be the only one to always rescue people. Although...they paid me pretty good after saving Ashely Graham, the President's daughter. Eh, what the heck? I'll go. At least I get paid to rescue people. Only one thing that bothers me not to do it. Simply because, it's a guy. If it was a hot chick, I wouldn't mind taking the job right away, Leon sighing in between before continuing, Story of my life...Leon continues walking until he reaches his car. His car is a red 2004 Cheverolet TrailBlazer, he had purchased with the money he received from the U.S. Govt Agency after saving Ashely Graham. The truck is neatly parked right next to a 2001 Hyundai Civic that Chief Grand owns, nothing personal but that Leon's car is way better. Leon uses the car keys to unlock and open the car door of his truck, just as he unlocked it, he opens it and gets into the truck and right into the driver's seat. He puts the key in and turns it and ignition starts. Leon puts the car in reverse and revs out of the parking spot before moving the stick onto the D-pad and driving off home.

Time and Place: Washington D.C.; on the route; 10:00 p.m.

Leon is now on the highway driving his truck and making signal lights at certain times to let the other drivers know he will be crossing over into another lane. He turns on the cd player in his truck so that he can relax driving and listening to tunes. Leon is now listening to trance music in his truck, music that he downloaded off the internet. He starts to enjoy the music as he makes his way out of the route by taking a route exit that led him into another route. All of sudden, Leon's cellular phone started ringing which made Leon pissed at it, "Ah shit", he cursed as he started searching his pockets. "Come on...where the hell is it????", said Leon he went through his left pocket in his jeans and found the phone while it still rang. "Found you, bitch", cursed Leon at the phone as he quickly answers it wile driving, "Hello, Leon here", Leon said. "Hey chief, Yeah what is it? ........SAY WHAT?! You say the flight's been changed to 1:00 a.m.? Oh due to a delay I see. Well, thanks for the info. So, someone's gonna pick me up at midnight at my house, right? Alright chief, understood. Thanks again.", Leon said before hanging up and putting back the phone into his left pocket and continues on his way. "Thank God...", he sighed to himself as he continues driving and enjoying the music along the way. Leon took another route exit that led him into a town where his neighborhood is as he says, "Great, now I have to start packing my shit and getting ready before my ride comes to take me to the airport."

Time and Place: Washington D.C.; Airport; 10:15 pm

"Yes sir, as you wish. We have been spying on Kennedy for over a year. We'll definitely kill this bastard. It's been heard that he will be taking a trip to Paris at about 1:00 am, so we will stay at this here airport until that ass comes.", said one of the guys as he is holding a cellphone and eating a sandwich at the cafeteria at the same time, while his partner is stealing candy from the near cash register. "Very good and while your at it you can just let everyone die along with that witch, Helena Douglass.", said a male with a deep voice over on the other line. "Yes sir:", said the guy holding the cell. "Once Leon gets on that plane, get in it too. Do you ediots have plane tickets by any chance?", said the male over the line. "Hey boss, we're not ediots and yeah we have plane tickets.", said the guy holding the cell phone while his partner is pigging out on the candy, "Good candy!", said the ediot while unwrapping the Snickers bar and taking huge bites from it. "YOU EDIOT!!!", yelled the guy holding the cell phone as he elbows his partner hard in the gut making the partner choke on the Snicker's bar. "!!!!!!", was the partner's response as he is choking from the candy bar. "Why do I even bother....?", said the male voice over the phone line.

Time and Place: Washington D.C.; Local neighborhood, 10:10 pm

After arriving to his home, Leon quickly got out of the car and ran to the doorstep of his home and using his house keys to open the door before going in. Leon ran to his room and opened the closet to get his backpack out. Then he went to his drawers and immediately took out comfortable clothes, an extra black tank top and khaki pants that he will be wearing for his mission. Then he took out the weapons he also would be needing. "Alright, Blacktail handgun...check...Striker Shotgun...check....handgun ammo...shot gun ammo...that's a double check....First Aid Kit...check. That's a needy, just in case if I get injured, I'll need to heal myself so I can continue my mission.", said the young agent while checking his weapons before packing them all into his backpack. Leon began checking his pockets and took out his wallet, the cell phone, and the photos of Hayate, Kasumi, and Ayane. He took a glance at the pictures and what he couldn't take his eyes off was the picture of Kasumi. "Wow...something about her is making me really attracted to her. She's real cute. Well maybe not cute...but...real HOTT. Yeah, that's the best word to describe her. She's hott...but isn't the subject that needs to be rescued. Shame.", mumbled the 27-year-old as he gets himself ready before his ride arrives to take him to the airport.

Time and Place: Okinawa, Japan; Okinawa Woods; Shinobi Dojo (Kasumi and Hayate's home); 1:05 a.m.

Ayame has been walking back and forth on the steps of the dojo. "Kasumi-chan....Hayate-chan...where are you?", said the worried mother. "I know...where Hayate and Kasumi are.", said a voice coming from the shadows. " Who said that?", replyed the frightened Ayame. "It was I.", said the voice of a young man as he appeared in front of her with fresh green leaves falling on his side. "Ryu Hayabusa? Is that you?", said Ayame as she looks at the wise young ninja. Hayabusa smiled at her before bowing in front of her in respect. "Yes, Ayame-san.", said the wise Hayabusa as he looks at the concerned mother of Kasumi and Hayate. "You really know where my children are?", asked Ayame in relief knowing that Hayabusa is very trustworthy since he and Hayate are best friends. "Yes I do,", replyed Hayabusa. Ayame smiled at Hayabusa and asked him, "Please, Ryu-chan, please tell me where they are and if they are alright?". Hayabusa looks down in worry while standing in front of her. "Ryu-chan?", said Ayame with a worried look on her face, then, Hayabusa responded to her, "If I tell you where you're children are located, then you will worry more..., said the wise young ninja. "Please Ryu-chan, PLEASE! you must inform me to the whereabouts of my children. I have the right to know where they are, please Ryu-chan!!", demanded Ayame as she scolded him. The wise young ninja lifts his head up slowly to look at her before responding to Ayame, "Ayame-san, Hayate was kidnapped by a group of unknown civilians that work in an unknown organization and have taken him somewhere in Europe...Paris, France rather, and that happened hours ago. The whereabouts of your daughter, Kasumi are unknown. The last time I saw her, was back at my dojo...", said Hayabusa after a pause for a second. "Wait a minute...", said Hayabusa as he paused again in between to look at Ayame as he realized something. "...She asked for my aid to go and rescue Hayate by lending her money so that she can take a trip to France to bring him back to Japan...but....NO! She may have found a way to get to France on her own!!", said the terrified young ninja after noticing he failed miserably to protect Kasumi from danger as a promise to Hayate. "...", was Ayame's response.

"Ryu-Chan! You must go and rescue them!", yelled Ayame to Hayabusa. The young ninja nodds to her and says, "I'll go and rescue them both and return them both safely to Japan. You have my word!", promised Hayabusa as he disappears leaving the leaves falling in front of Ayame. "Be careful Ryu-chan....", whispered Ayame to herself, hoping Hayabusa will be alright while searching for Kasumi and Hayate.

Time and Place: Washington D.C.; Airport; 12:45 a.m.

Leon is seated at the waiting seats waiting for the announcments of the flight he will be boarding on. Leon was clever enough to bring a magazine to read as he waited. He reads the Entertainment Weekly magazine out loud, "Hmm...The top ten action movies in 2005...Huh? What the hell?", says Leon as he continues reading. "....er...Why on earth would they put Elektra in 2nd place? Yeah, sure the chick's hott, but the movie...really wasn't. Well, whoever was in charge of the voting ballots made one hell of a mistake or...they may have miscounted the ballots and thought the movie had more votes.", said Leon while criticizing the one who placed the movie in second place. "Seriously people? Don't they know when a movie is good or when a movie is bad? Hey If I didn't say better, I'd say Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 were always number one, compared to Elektra and DareDevil combined. Hey what's even better than Elektra? A crossover between The Incredible Hulk and Wayan's Bros.'s movie, White Chicks. Let's see...'The Incredible White Chicks' would actually made a better movie than Elektra.", sighed Leon as he closes the book. "Man...that's how bored and impatient I am when I'm not doing anything...", said Leon as he makes a frown on his face. The young agent heard his flight being called by the announcements over the intercom, "Gate D-35, passengers boarding on AirFrance to Paris will be departing soon.", said the female voice over the intercom. "That's my ride to hell, better get on the plane before it decides to change it's mind and leave me.", said Leon as he stood up from the chair and picks up his backpack and places it over his shoulder, then leaves for the gate.

Time and Place: June 15, 2005; Paris, France; DOATEC Building; 7:50 a.m.

"Wake up...", a male voice was just heard. "Wake up I said!", yelled the male. "...", was the young ninja's response as he begins to open his eyes to see that he is shirtless and is tied to a metal bed. "What the?", said Hayate in confusion as he began to struggle from the bonds. "Dammit!", cursed Hayate as he tried harder to break free but failed. "It's about time...", said the male with a very deep cynical voice as he approaches Hayate without showing his face or identity. "Huh? Who are you??! Show yourself you coward!!!", said the angry Hayate as he forms fists within the bonds, wanting to teach the male a lesson. "Why have you kidnapped me? ANSWER ME!", continued Hayate angrily as he glared knives at the male hiding in the dark shadows. "Why ...because you are important and special to us, Oh 18th leader of the Mugen Tenshin Style, Hayate...", said the mysterious male sounding a bit older. Hayate was surprised at the fact that he knows his name and seems to know everything about him, "How...do you know my name and about my background?", asked Hayate as the male forms a smirk on his face. "Easy, Hayate...you know us...", said the mysterious male. Hayate can't see the male because he's hiding in the shadows, "DAMMIT", cursed Hayate loudly. The young ninja realized that light was only showing him and not the environment around him. "...Dead or Alive Technology...also known as DOATEC...You bastards...RELEASE ME AT ONCE!!!", Hayate demanded. "I don't think so, Hayate, I believe it's best that you stay with us until the process of our experiment is comeplete...", said the male as he looks at Hayate gasp in fright. "Experiment? WHAT EXPERIMENT?", yelled Hayate as he started struggling through the bonds more and it started to make Hayate's wrists bleed a bit the more he struggled. "Tsk Tsk Tsk...If I were you, I wouldn't do that. That really hurts.", said the male sarcastically followed by a chuckle. "We don't want to disappoint our guests that are coming soon, so be a good ninja and do not move so much that you could injure your wrists more....MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!", said the male while laughing manically and leaving the lab. "Guests? What guests is he talking about....", wondered Hayate as he realized it was his family. "WHAT!? KASUMI AND AYANE?!!", yelled Hayate as he continued struggling more. "IF YOU DARE EVEN SCRATCH MY SISTERS, I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET YOU EVEN KIDNAPPED ME YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!!!!", continued the furious Hayate as he had realized he had put his own sisters' lives in jeopardy.

Time and Place: Washington, D.C.; Airport (boarding place); 12:55 a.m.

Leon is being checked by the security guards, they checked his luggage and noticing the weapons. He shows the guards his ID and let them know he's an agent from the U.S. Govt. Two mysterious guys behind Leon had kept en eye on him since the last time they saw him. The two men begin to whisper to each other so that the young 27-year-old agent wouldn't hear. "So, that's Leon Scott Kennedy?", said one guy while eating a granola bar. "Yes, he's the one the boss wants us to eliminate.", said the second while holding both passports and plane tickets and watches Leon continue forward with his backpack over his shoulder and boarding the plane. "You got the 'medicine', Jose?", said the guy holding the tickets and the passports. "Yeah I got the 'medicine', Ruben, and its been on the plane since 11 p.m.", said Jose with a huge grin on his face as he makes his way along with Ruben after being checked by the guards. The two men, being the last ones to enter the plane had continued talking about their hideous plan.

Leon walks throught the aisle to find his seat number. "Let's see...seat 14, here it is." said Leon as he places his backpack onto the top bunk where the other small luggage were being placed. Then, Leon takes his seat and waits until the plane could take off. "...Finally, I can just sleep until I reach France.", said Leon while he sighs in relief as he takes out the photos of the 3 ninjas. "So, Hayate is the one that was just abducted.", said Leon as he continues to look at the pictures, when a blonde 21-year-old woman took a seat next to Leon while he was just sitting by the window looking at the pictures. Leon wonders to himself, Why would they go through all the trouble just to kidnap a ninja? For what purpose? Damn, this doesn't make any sense!! "Hello there.", said the young woman who was sitting next to Leon. The young 21-year-old female was wearing tight white pants, brown boots, and an extravagant red long-sleeved blouse with elegant designs. Her shirt shows a lot of cleavage of her creamy skin which was highly noticable for Leon to look at, but Leon wasn't interested. The young agent looked at the young woman and smiled a bit at her. "Hey.", was Leon's response back at the young woman, he could tell that she was of French descent, there was no doubt about it by the accent she had. The blonde woman had hazel green eyes that would not stop looking at the agent, she seemed interested in him. She continued looking at him as her strands of blonde hair fell to the sides of her face.

"Is this your first time going to France, handsome?", asked the French blonde. "Yeah actually, heh.", said Leon as he smiles at the young blonde again. The French blonde extended her hand to him to introduce herself. "I'm Helena Douglass and yours?", asked Helena with a slight seductive smiled on her face as she looks at Leon. ".....My...name's Leon Scott Kennedy...", replyed Leon as he was looking at Helena. "Hmm...should I call you Leon or Scott?", said Helena to Leon in a seductive way. "Um...Leon's fine...", said Leon nervously as he kept looking at her. CRAP, now look what you got yourself into. A real hott chick that I'm not interested in and here she is trying to make a move on me. I can see it now...on the headlines: U.S Government Agent Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Douglass Sex Scandal board AirFrance page C-4 of the Washington Post or the New York Times...., thought Leon to himself as he shuddered a lot and tried to make up a conversation hoping the young woman would'nt go any further. "So, it seems you were in the U.S. on vacation?", asked Leon hoping Helena would answer and converse with him. "Well, yes. I've been all over the U.S. and it has bored me. I'm planning to-", said Helena after a pause she made when she saw what Leon was holding. "You have photos? May I see?", asked Helena politely as she winks at him. "....Alright.", said Leon as he shows Helena the pictures of Hayate, Kasumi, and Ayane. Just as Helena looks at the pictures, she was paralyzed for a minute in total shock. ...That's Hayate, Kasumi, and ...ugh....Ayane, the bitch who murdered my mother. Could this young man be the agent they warned us about? Yes, he has to be the one. He carries the photos with him. He is the United States Government Agent sent to save Hayate. "Is something wrong Miss? You look surprise." said Leon wondering why she was in shock when she looked at the pictures.

"Huh, what?", said Helena. "You stood quiet for a second in awe when you saw these pictures that I am holding in my hand now.", said Leon while looking at her funny. "It...It seems they are not your relatives. I thought they might be, but, they don't even look like you.", said Helena almost stuttering. Helena quickly looked to the side watching the passengers yap on and on. Leon stayed looking at Helena but in a suspicious way like she knows about the ninjas in the pictures. Something's not right here..., Leon thought to himself as the pilot announced the fastening of the seatbelts and that the plane will be taking off. Leon and the passengers listened and obeyed the pilot by fastening his seatbelt and waited for the plane to take off into the sky.

Meanwhile...

Time and Place: Atlantic Ocean; France Seaboat; unknown time

Kasumi had just woken up from a long sleep which seemed like hours and she quickly gets out from the crate and wonders if she has arrived to her destination yet. "We're still moving.", said the young ninja girl as she sits by the crate and feels her belly growling. "....I'm very hungry...", said Kasumi as she looked around and notices she's in the basement part of the ship. "This is going to take a long time to get out and search for food.", said the young ninja girl as she just sits there and all of a sudden hears barking coming from one of the crates. "Huh? A dog?", said Kasumi wondering where the dog sound was coming from as she crawls over and listens closely. Then, this small white tea cup dog jumps out from his hiding spot and knocks Kasumi to the floor and starts licking her cheek. "Hahahahahaha, s-stop! That tickles!", said Kasumi as she giggles while the little dog is still licking her cheek. She then picks the pup up and holds him. "What are you doing here? Well..how did you get in here?", asked Kasumi as she looks at the cute pup while it barks and wags its tail. "Well since you're with me, you might as well tag along with me. It's a good thing I have a backpack with me to place you in.", said Kasumi as she smiled at the pup. "You will help me find my brother on my journey, right?", asked Kasumi as the pup barks, she then smiles at the pup as she pets it and hugs it to herself. Ni-san...I hope you're alright whereever you are. Don't worry Ni-san, I promise I will find you and return you home to Japan with me. You can count on me. thought Kasumi to herself as she held the white tea cup pup in her arms.

Time and Place: In the air, board the plane; 2:35 a.m; an hour and half later...

Leon was reading the Entertainment Weekly Magazine while Helena had fallen asleep by his side. Leon took a glance at Helena and whispered "She must have been really tired from getting all the way here to return to her homeland".Then Leon returned back to his reading. All of a sudden, the plane shook a bit and startled all the passengers. Some passengers were screaming a bit after the plane shook. Helena woke up from the horrible shaking and looked at Leon. "What was that?!", asked the frightened French blonde. "It was probably just turbulence, it's normal.", said Leon as he looked at the passengers that were scared for that time and he wondered, That's weird, the plane just took off about an hour ago. Why would it just shake all of a sudden? The young agent realized there hadn't been not one flight attendant passing by giving people refreshments. "Ok...that's weird...", said Leon in confusion. "What's weird?", asked Helena wonder what Leon was thinking about. "Where are the flight attendants? They are supposed to be here serving people and calming them down.", said Leon as Helena looked around and noticed the young agent was right. "That's very awkward...the flight attendants should be here just as you said.", replyed Helena. Leon got up from his seat, "Something's not right", said the young agent as he unzipped the backpack took out his blacktail handgun and turned to the passengers, which apparently shrieked after they saw the weapon. "Ladies and gentlemen, calm down. I am Leon Scott Kennedy, working for the United States government. I need you to stay calm and remain in your seats because there could be suspects board this plane. Just follow the orders I tell you and you will be fine!", ordered Leon to the passengers as a gun was pressed onto the back of his head. "I don't think so, Leon Scott Kennedy...uh...is that your name, right?", said Jose while holding the gun and pointing it to the back of Leon's head. "Tell me your name and I'll tell you mine.", said Leon sarcastically. "Hands up Kennedy because today is your funeral.", demanded Jose as the passengers started panicking. "Isn't death supposed to come first before your funeral?", said Leon grinning as he turned to look at him, apparently he was mocking him. "Uh....yea yea that!", responded Jose with a goofy smile on his face still holding the gun. He's as dumb as he looks..., Leon thought to himself. "uh...ok now come with me Kennedy...", ordered Jose as he tugs on Leon's arm to drag him, but before he could, Leon quickly countered him by grabbing his arm and twisting it making the ediot terrorist drop the gun. "Good terrorist, smart thinking. Would'nt be stupid enough to waste your life away. You are actually smart for some things", said Leon as he quickly kneed him in the gut causing Jose to spit out blood and go unconscious for the time being. Then, Leon handcuffed him up to the handles of the bathroom door. "Now stay....stay....good terrorist.", said Leon with a smirk on his face, then he looks at the passengers and gives them a thumbs up. "It's all under control.", said Leon as he turned around to head to the pilot's room. Helena went up to Jose and grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Who sent you here? Tell me. Now!", yelled Helena as she shook Jose aggressively to get him to spit out some answers. "It...it...was....Umbrella corps' boss...Wesker...", said Jose weakily. "Wesker? Albert Wesker? I don't understand, why would he send you guys to bomb this plane if he knew I was coming...?" questioned Helena while she was in confusion. "He knew....you would be on the plane, he also wanted you dead too since he wont be need the likes of you or DOATEC to help Umbrella...Once...Umbrella takes over DOATEC...we will be unstoppable!", smirked Jose as he chuckles a bit. "You...ingrate...I knew we shouldn't have trusted you guys! I knew you would be able to stoop so low in betraying my step father's company. For that you shall pay dearly...", said Helena with a threatening look. Jose felt very uncomfortable by the way she looked at him, he started to get really scared that he started screaming.

Leon opens the door to the pilot's room and walks in to find 3 flight attendants tied up along with 2 pilots shot on the head. "Shit...2 killed already?", said Leon as he looked at the controls and sees the plane is on autopilot. Alright....I've taken cared of Tweedle Dum...but where's Tweedle Dee? I know for sure that ediot didn't come here by himself, I'm pretty sure a Dumbass came with him to join the death party, wondered Leon to himself as he quickly untied the flight attendants free. The young agent all of a sudden heard all the passengers yell in fright and he immediately returned quickly to where the passengers are.

"SOMEONE HELP!!!", yelled a 16-year-old girl being held hostage by Jose's partner, Ruben, who has a gun pointed to her head. "SHUT UP BRAT!", yelled Ruben angrily as the crowd tried to stay quiet and obediant hoping neither the girl or themselves will get hurt. Leon saw this and grew angry, "LET HER GO, SHE IS NOT YOUR CONCERN. I AM!", demanded Leon furiously. "Hmph....", said Ruben while holding the girl tight. The girl screamed loudly then the man covered her mouth to shut her up. "Seriously, your going to hold a girl hostage and not face me like a man just because a friend of yours was just taken cared of?", smirked Leon as he points to Jose, who is now in an unconscious state. " Grrr....", growled Ruben angrily because he felt sorry for bringing his ediot partner on this terrorist mission. Our boss is going to kill us!, Ruben thought to himself but then remembered he had some surprise for Leon and his guests. "Hey Kennedy...did I ever tell you that we have a little surprise under your seat?", said Ruben with a grin on his face. It's a shame you cannot deactivate it. Only bomb experts can do it...oops, did I say that out loud? I'm sorry...", said Ruben sarcastically. "BOMB?! WHAT BOMB?!", yelled Leon as the passenger started yelling in panic. "Why the bomb I placed in the plane which will detonate in....4 minutes.", said Ruben as he laughed evilly while the chicken-roaring crowd panicked more. "You mean this bomb?", questioned Helena as she was holding the bomb in her hand, she had found the bomb in a secret door underneath Leon's seat. "WHAT!? HOW DID YOU REMOVE THE BOMB FROM ITS SPOT!?", said Ruben as he question Helena about the bomb. "Easy by deactivating it. I've experience many bombs especially those of self destruction and I can easily handle it by just cutting off this wire.", says Helena as she shows him the blue whire that has been cut off. "DAMN YOU BITCH", cursed Ruben as he pushed the 16-year-old-girl away and aimed the gun at Helena and shot her quickly. "DAMN IT, HELENA GET DOWN!", yelled Leon as he ran to try and save Helena, but it was alread too late. Helena had been shot on the forehead so she fell on her back. ".....Damn it...", Leon turned around to look at Ruben laughing histerically for what he did, and he didn't care about it. "Die, mother-fucker!!", cursed Leon at Ruben as he aimed his gun and pointed it to Ruben's legs and shot both of them. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH", was Ruben's cry in agony and pain as he fell to the ground. "That was for killing both pilots and this...", said Leon as he shot both of Ruben's arms. "...was for killing a hott chick, 2 points.", said Leon angrily. Leon went over to Helena's body and took a spare blanket from the first aid closet and covered the body. "Damn it...", cursed Leon as he went to the pilot's room to pilot the plane the rest of the way to Paris.

Time and Place: June 15, 2005; Paris, France; Paris Airport; 11:00 a.m; hours later...

The Paris ambulance and police had arrived to the airport and were taking the 3 dead bodies and the 2 terrorists away. Leon had been questioned a lot and of course he had told him what happened and that he saved the passengers board the plane except the 3 people. "Helena Douglass??", said one officer in total shock. "Yes, why?", question Leon in confusion. "That's the famous opera singer and step daughter to Fame Douglass, who was the head boss of Dead or Alive Technology also known as DOATEC.", replyed the officer. "DOATEC? That's weird...and she didn't tell me...Wait did you say Fame Douglass? Isn't he dead?", asked Leon to the officer. "Yes, he had been assassinated by an unknown organization. We are still investigating who the killer is.", replyed the officer. "I see... well thanks for the info.", said Leon as he began to leave. So...she was an opera singer who's step-dad was the head hancho of Dead or Alive Technology...Hmm...seems like she knew something about these ninjas..., thought Leon to himself as he continued walking. Could...DOATEC have something to do with Hayate's abduction?, Leon wondered to himself as 2 special officers had parked outside the airport with a sign held up that said "Leon S. Kennedy". Leon went up to them, greeted them and left together out from the Paris airport.

Time and Place: Markets with a big crowd; Paris, France; 1:00 p.m.

After asking people around about the young ninja, even showing them the picture of Hayate, there was no sign of him. "Damn it", cursed Leon as he searches around and continues to ask people around. Somewhere nearby was Kasumi walking and doing the same that Leon's doing. Kasumi has the little dog with her, he has his little head sticking out from her backpack and looking at the people around. She begins asking people around as she describes how Hayate looks like. Their responses were, "No" and "We haven't seen him." Kasumi sighs to herself and keeps trying. Leon had his folders with the files open and reads them until he bumps into Kasumi. The young ninja girl had also bumped into him and made Leon drop the files onto the ground. "Shit...just my luck...", cursed Leon as he knelt down and gathered the papers. "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...", said Kasumi apologetically as she knelt down in front of him and tried to help him. "Hey, it's alright. Don't worry about it. People make mistakes.", said Leon, he had already picked up the stuff before Kasumi could even see them. Then, Leon looks to see who was the one who bumped into him and sees it's Kasumi. Kasumi!? What's she doing here?! The Chief didn't tell me she was going to get involved!, Leon thought to himself as he was in shock to see Kasumi here in Paris. "I'm sorry, but I am in a hurry now.", said Kasumi as she bowed down and ran off. "HEY WAIT!!!", yelled Leon as he started running after her while holding his backpack over his shoulder. Dammit! She must be here because of Hayate. It's too dangerous for her to stick around here. I have to get to her before she gets herself into so much danger and that will leave me out of this job. DAMMIT ALL. Now she's my responsibilty along with her brother!, Leon thought to himself while running after Kasumi when all of a sudden she just vanished. "SHIT! SHE'S TOO FAST!", cursed Leon loudly and worriedly when he lost track of Kasumi. "Crap, now I have babysitting duty, Hayate will have to wait.", said Leon as he started running off in search for Kasumi.

To Be Continued....

Tifa-Zelos: Finally end of Chapter 2. Well, let's see here...Now Leon has one more person to worry about, don't you think? Well, let's find out soon on the next chapter. See ya!
