After a moment of being able to rest both Leon and yourself have a look at what this strange cloaked man was selling.
"So what's your deal? You like to just help random foreigners who end up stumbling into this godforsaken hell hole?" You ask while holding out your hands for Leon to place coins in as he counts out the Pesetas from one of his pouches.
"Sure, Stranger. We'll go with that." He said while placing a few cans of the healing spray down on the table.
Leon takes all the coins he had just put in your hands and placed them on the table before grabbing said cans and tucking two away in a larger pouch strapped to his leg, while handing you one just incase you both manage to get split up and injured.

"We should get going, do you know the direction to the church?" You asked the hooded merchant as Leon pulls his Bomber jacket back on.
"Sure... I have a map if you want it?" Taking out a rolled up piece of paper. "This ones on the house." He says even though he was just taking in the count of Pesetas you had thrown at him to grab that first spray which ended up saving Leon's life. You take the map and open it up having a look at where you were and where the church was.
"Looks like we need to head up that way." You point in the direction of a large windmill. "Through a small lot of houses and to a large lake. We can get to the church from there." You explain letting Leon look over your shoulder as you point out all the directions you had just spoken of.
"Great, then we have a lead." He nods and pulls out his handgun before checking to make sure no bullets were jammed as he had limp wristed those last few shots he had missed, pulling out the magazine seeing there was ammo before placing it back in, loading it and double checking the safety. You follow suite with your own weapons, giving Leon a nod seeing his gaze fixed on you.
"Let's get going then, Are you sure you're alright?" You asked even though he had stated multiple times since the spray had been administered.
"I'm fine, we don't really have time to rest, Baby Eagle is priority number 1." Leon states giving you a nod back and walking ahead of you in the direction of the large windmill you had pointed to previously.

Watching his back you give a sigh and look to the merchant. "Thanks." You acknowledge before following after Leon, jogging to catch up to him, wanting to stay by his side.
"So why are we heading to a church? I'm guessing it's where they are keeping Ashley?" Leon asks his head looking over his shoulder slightly making sure you were still behind him.
"Yeah... Sorry I forgot to inform you, I found out this information when you were injured. I didn't have time to think about telling you when you were bleeding out on me." You explained looking to your hands, both gloves and your exposed fingers covered in his blood. Closing your eyes you clench your hands in fists trying not to think about the image of him laying there motionless.
In this moment Leon in front of you had stopped suddenly, not realising as you were deep in thought you bump into his back and catch yourself from tripping over him by grabbing his waist.
"What is it?" You ask in a hushed tone looking around him but not seeing anything. Listening you then hear shuffling and almost the sound of squirming coming from one of the rickety old houses just up ahead of you.
"Hear that?" He asks looking back and seeing you nod in response. He then reaches down and takes out the gun from his side, flicking the safety off, walking towards the house and pushing on the door to open it. "Locked.. We should find ano-" He was suddenly cut off by your leg smashing into the handle of the door causing it to fling open. "Or you could do that." He said tilting his head to the side as he spoke, slightly impressed by the force behind your kick.

Both seeing a wardrobe on the other side of the house you walk over, Leon following as you open the door, falling out was a sack, and a grunt coming from inside when it hit the ground. You open the tied up string at the top and a man's head pokes out with pieces of tape placed over his mouth, looking up to Leon he removes his gun from being pointed at the man and you turn back to him, ripping the tape from his mouth.
"....OW!" He said looking up to you.
"Sorry.. You had a little something on your face." You smirk while the man looks between the both of you.
"Right.. Hey I have a favour to ask. Do either of you got a smoke?" He asks in a thick English-Spanish accent. You were confused by the request and look up at Leon with questioning eyes before he replies.
"Got gum.."
"Oh... Well, maybe just untie me then?" He asked rolling over so you could help untie him.

Loud footsteps were heard from behind and a sudden flashback of Mr. X flooded your vision before turning around and seeing a large man in black Pope-like clothes walking up to Leon, his face being slightly hidden by the wide brimmed hat he was wearing as he reaches out and grabs Leon by the throat.
"Leon!" You call out as he is thrown across the house, through some furniture and into the stone and mud wall.
"Joder!" The man calls out trying his best to caterpillar away from the scene. You stand up taking out your handgun from behind your back and start shooting at the man before he reaches out to you, your bullets not even causing him to flinch as he too grabs you by the throat and throws you into the same wall he had just thrown Leon. The both of you lay on the ground, your body sprawled out over his, both motionless as the large man pulls out two needles and sticks them in your necks injecting you both with the larva of this Plagas parasite that had caused everyone to become these mindless savages.

-----*An Hour Later*-----

Leon finds himself waking up, his hands tied above his head, pulling his arms down a call of annoyance comes from behind him. "Hey.. You move, I move, Sancho." The man from earlier says pulling his own arms back down slightly.
Leon was silent then remembers you were with him in the same room as that large man, Looking around the room he spots you laying on your side, hands tied behind your back that faced the two men chained together.
"(Y/N)!" He calls out standing to his feet as fast as possible, once again forgetting he was tied to the ceiling by a pully. Causing the Spaniard on the other end of the chain to be pulled up onto his feet and protesting by pulling Leon back.
"Hey! Watch it lover boy!" He called to Leon who looked back to the man with a glare then up to the pully keeping the both of them from leaving. "So do you got a name? I'm Luis, Luis Sera." He said trying to make small talk seeing the gears in Leon's brain turning.

"Leon." He replied as he turned around and leaned against the chains pulling on the old pully from the rusty nails holding it in the rotting wood.
"I see, not one for small talk. I can see you thinking. What brings you here anyway?" He asked trying to get answers from Leon, but right now he was more focused on wanting to get to you and make sure you were alright.
"We're looking for someone." He says hoping that would keep the questions at bay as he continued pulling on the chain.
"Ooooh Señorita Ashley? I heard some chatter about her being kept in the church." Luis said grunting as he held his ground so Leon's plan would work.
"That's what (Y/N) found out... Yes." One more pull and the pully came out of the ceiling and clanged to the floor. Not taking a second longer he raced over to your limp body but Luis had once again resisted.
"Oya! I'm still on the other end." He said causing Leon to look over at him with frustration when he saw a man wielding an axe come down the stairs and towards Luis. Leon pulls Luis to the ground making him dodge the sloppy attack.

As the man stumbled to regain his balance on both feet Leon had strut up to the attacker and wrapped the chain around his neck a couple of times, holding both sides and kicking the man in the back with enough force to snap the man's neck backwards causing him to go limp. Keys fall to the ground and Luis runs to grab them, freeing himself and then walking to the stairs backwards.
"Sorry, Sancho. Duty calls." He said shrugging with a sheepish smile before running off.
"Hey!! We're not finished yet!" Leon called after him but sighs heavily taking the keys Luis had dropped back to the ground and unlocks his own cuffs before finally making is way over to you.
Kneeling down he starts to untie the ropes around your wrists and rolls you over, lifting your head with his hand as he checks for a pulse. Finding it he relaxed, his shoulders lowering as he places his free hand on your shoulder, shaking you gently.
"(Y/N)... Hey, time to wake up. No sleeping on the job." He jokes hoping his pathetic attempts at humour was enough to rouse you from your sleep.
Waiting patiently you finally began to stir, feeling the warmth of his hand on your chest as he monitored your breathing, still making sure you were alright.
"I'm up..." You mumble as your eyes flicker open, wincing at the light from behind Leon's head making him look like the silhouette of an angel.

"Are you hurt? Can you stand?" Leon asks once again remembering they should get to Ashley as soon as possible to get her out of here. The poor girl has probably been through enough and he didn't want her to have to stay here any longer than what she already had.
"Yeah... I can stand." You reply doing your best to sit up with Leon's hand on your back helping you with the process.
