Claire was crying again.

Chris could hear her though the door.

He wanted to go in and talk to her let her cry on his shoulder; but Claire wanted to be left alone.

Chris kicked the skirting board by the baring door. The door wasn・t locked it was hard for Chris to stop himself from barging in and, what would he do? There was nothing he could do to stop this kind of pain. He couldn・t put a plaster on it and ask if she wanted Big Brother Chris to kiss it better.

"How is she?" A man with red hair asked. Claire had introduced him, he was Leon Scott Kennedy they had helped each other through the town of Raccoon after, the out break. Claire had told Chris that they would be safe with him so he had sent a message ahead to Jill to let the others know where they were.

"Same as before." Chris told him. "I don・t know what to do. I want to help her but she said that she wanted to be left alone."

Leon sighed. "Did she tell you what happened to him?" Chris asked.

"In bits and pieces but yeah she told me." Leon answered. "I couldn・t imagine how I would have coped if that had happened to Ada." "Ada? Yes, Claire told me about her." Chris remembered. "I can・t bare to think about what all of you went though in that city. What Jill went though. I remember when Claire and I used to go to Emmy・s for burgers and Coke." Chris shook his head.

"What you told me about those twins is hard to take. Seriously sadistic." Leon said as he walked up to the near by fridge and pulled out a beer. He held it up Chris nodded and caught the can tossed to him.

"You・ve been though a lot too Chris." He added.

The two men drank their beer. Nether Chris or Leon could do anything for Claire and both hated it.

"I・m her brother I should be able to do something!"

"Chris you can・t bring back the dead." Leon told him. "But, I know how you feel."

Chris fell asleep before he finished his beer. He had only arrived yesterday and hadn・t sleep at all so Leon made no move to wake him. He drank the last few drops in his can and when to Claire・s door.

No sounds came from inside.Leon knocked the door gently there was no reply. He opened it a crack. Claire has cried herself to sleep on the bed.

"Claire," Leon said sadly in soft voice. "You don・t have to do this alone. Talk to your friends. Chris. Talk to me? I・ll always be here."

Leon knew Claire couldn・t hear him, but he needed to say something.Leon left the room closing the door softly behind him. If only she would talk, to anyone. He thought. Claire needs to talk to drain the poison in her heart. His head dropped as he fell back against the door. It was passed midnight be was tired as well but not exhausted like the Redfields, body and mind.

"I・ll always be here for you." Leon repeated the plea.He pushed himself way from the door dropped his jacket over Chris to keep him warm and made his way to his own bed.

"Claire, I・m your friend. You can talk to me." He said to himself.

Claire opened her eyes and turned to look at the closed door.

"I・ll always be here for you." Leon repeated his voice muffled by the closed door.

"Leon?" Claire whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Claire woke up late.

She rubbed her eyes. they were sore from all the crying she had done last night. Her muscles ached from sleeping curlled up tight in a little ball.

The was a small knock on the door. Followed by a voice...

"Claire?"

It was Chris.

"Yeah?" Claire's voice was still cracked.

"The briefing is in half an hour." Chris voice was still muffled by the door.

"Okay, thanks." Claire started to get ready.

She fought the tears. Leon and Chris didn't want her face Umbrella again, not yet. Yet the Both new nothing would stop her from helping Leon on his mission.

Steve was dead. She would still be weaping for him for him along time, but there was someone else she cared for that could still be helped.

Sherry.

Chris was still tired himself. He still felt sleepy when walked in to Leon.

"Sorry."

Leon shook his head. "It's fine. How was Claire?"

"She was still sleeping." Chris answered.

"So are you by the look of things." Leon said.

"I guess so." Chris admitted. "How did you end up with these guys anyway?"

"It's a long story. the short version is that they found me a few days after Sherry was kidnapped and I agreed to help them get Umbrella as long as they helped me get Sherry." Leon said.

"Tell me about Sherry. Calire told me a little but she hasn't been in the mood for talking what with you know Steve." Chris asked.

"Yeah there's half a hour before the meeting." Leon agreed.

Not long before the meeting was due to start a girl came and called leon to get the stuff ready.
