Part 2 (Coming Soon)

"How many times have I told you that dress looks perfect on you?" Leon said with a sigh as he saw you checking yourself out with a pout as you stand outside a hotel restaurant, waiting for the both of you to be escorted in and to your table Leon had booked a week Prior to tonight's dinner. You look up to Leon with a small smile and reach up to hold onto his arm as you leans against him. "Thank you, Leon." You say feeling giddy at his compliments, you had been dating for years now, both of you D.S.O. Agents and you still get butterflies when he looks at you with pure love in his eyes or gives you simple compliments.

After about a minute of waiting you were both met by a young late teen girl, this was probably her first job as she seemed nervous, yet seemed to know what to do as if having practiced her lines of greeting and asking for a name before leading you both to a small square table in the back of the hotel restaurant. "I love pub meals." You comment as the young girl leaves both of you at the table to make a decision on what you would like to eat and drink.

"I know, you never want to go anywhere fancy." He comments with a slight pout in his tone. "But pub food is sooo much better than the fancy, expensive stuff you get which is also only a mouthful most of the time." You said smiling and reaching a hand to rest on his as you sit across from each other. "But if you really want to take me to a fancy restaurant I don't mind going. Food is food." You shrug pulling your hand back and holding the menu in your hands.

"The schnitzel looks like a good option..." You say quietly to yourself and Leon only gives a small chuckle, shaking his head. "Whaaaat?" You say feeling your cheeks blush slightly. "Of course you went for the schnitzel, why not try something different? Like... The Carbonara, or even the steak with hot chips, gravy and an egg on top? Actually that sounds good..." He said trying to convince you but ended up figuring out what he was going to be eating.

Smiling up at your partner you want to savour this moment when of course... you heard a racket happening in the main dinning room, both of you share a look and stand to your feet making your way down the small hallway and to the dinning room. The power turning off in the hotel and looking outside you don't see any street lights or any power in the buildings across the road. Both of you reach for your firearms, yours on a strap under your dress around your thigh and Leon reaching under his jacket to the holster on the back of his belt, not drawing yet unless it was just a normal power outage and the commotion was nothing you needed to worry about.

Scanning the darkness you both allow your eyes to adjust when you see the young lady kneeling next to what the commotion was all about, a bloodied man had stumbled into the restaurant and fallen unconscious on his back, his t-shirt soaked in blood as the young lady was on her phone calling for an ambulance. Leon runs over and pulls the young girl up away from the man on the ground you follow and stand between Leon and the girl giving her an extra layer of security. Leon takes out a small torch from his pant's pocket, turning it on before touching his fingers to the pulse in the man's neck. "Every body get to the second level of the hotel.. NOW!" Leon calls out in the low mumbling as he looks up to you. "I'm going to check around and shut to doors and make sure no one else is infected.

Giving Leon a nod you turn the young girl around and lead everyone to the stairs, you knew what rules to follow as this was probably your 100th time dealing with this. Leon's gun goes off and tried to keep everyone calm, pulling out your own gun and walking up first to quickly check around the second level, ushering everyone up and into a large sitting room allowing everyone to be comfortable.  "Did he kill him?!" The young girl asked in a shouted whisper not wanting to say the obvious out loud.  "He wasn't alive when he stumbled in." You explain in a calm tone as you make sure the bar tenders and chefs join the group knowing Leon had sent them up.

You could see the gears turning on the faces of all the people and the young girl standing in front of you. "Oh my god... It's an outbreak.. isn't it? Are we going to die?" She asked clearly becoming distressed.  "No... You'll be just fine, Leon and myself are professionals who deal with these outbreaks and monstrosities all the time." You assure, seeing your calmness and words seeming to give the young girl more confidences that she will get out of this alive. You give the most capable man of the small group of dinners and staff the duty to make sure no one comes in or out, unless you or the man you are with is with them or ask someone to leave the group. Confident they are alright you make your way through the halls, knocking on every door you come across and end up finding 6 people, taking them back to the lounge room.

Leon was there to meet you, taking your arm gently and pulling you out into the hallway talking in a quiet voice as not to alert the civilians. "I have contacted Chris and Hunnigan, damn it... why can't we just have some time out and not have to deal with this stuff." He sighed in frustration. You take his hand and lean up on your tippy toes to press your lips to his. "It's frustrating, but I would rather being here to protect everyone and catch it quickly rather than not." You say smiling up at him as you lick your thumb and wipe it on his jaw to get rid of some blood splatter from shooting the undead man downstairs. "We will keep everyone safe until Chris or whoever can get her and get everyone out safely." You nod as you pat Leon's chest and make your way to the civilians and check on them all one by one.

After checking on everyone and making sure no one else was infected and calm about 10 minutes had passed, Leon standing from a squat as he was finished checking on a 7 year old boy per his parents requests to make sure their child was going to be alright. Leon looks over to you but your attention was taken by the dark hallway across from the lounge, walking over to you Leon takes out his gun and torch before pressing a gentle hand on the middle of your back before walking towards the same noise he could now hear.

He follows the sound of scratching on plaster or brick and metal, making his way around corners quickly, holding his gun out in front of him as his hand holding the flashlight was held under his gun, giving him more stability in his aim. Coming to where there was a spot on the carpet now wet, a dripping coming from the ceiling when suddenly it collapsed above him, sending plaster, brick and wood atop of him as a licker burst through the ceiling. You hear the crashing sound and shots being fired as you order everyone to huddle in the far corner and race out of the lounge.

“LICKER!!” You hear Leons voice shout as your eyes widen seeing the creature running across the floor and walls towards you, shooting it you draw it away but end up in a dead end. Shooting at the creature before it leaps at you, a shout leaving your mouth as you are tackled through the window and fall down to the street below. You feel a sharp pain shoot from the back of your skull and down your spine as you the dulled sound of assault riffle fire was shot in the air to bring the creature off of you as Leon runs to the window you had just fallen through.  "(Y/N)!!!!" His voice shouts from the second floor as he sees Chris standing with a few other members of his team, now leading the Licker away and shooting it so you weren't caught in any cross fire. A few men run into the hotel and make their way upstairs to the civilians as Leon hurried downstairs, leaping off the side to allow the others to make their way up and make his way to you faster.

Chris was beside your body calling over medical as he sees Leon making his way over. "Is she alive?!" He asks as he kneels down beside your body. "She is... but unresponsive, My men and I have it from here, you go with (Y/N) to the hospital." Chris assures as he places a hand on Leon's shoulder and looks down to your body before standing up and leaving the two of you with the paramedics so he can finish the job here.
