The hot water poured down Ada's body. The shower felt better than anything she'd ever experienced. She could finally get that rotted stink of torn flesh off of her.

It had been so much. HCF, Trent, zombies, guns, death, deceit, Leon…

Ada lathered up herself while she thought of the rookie who had saved her life-

-what, three, four times?

She didn't expect that she would be there, and not want to kill anyone. Besides Leon and Sherry, there wasn't anyone else that she wouldn't. She probably wouldn't have killed Claire, but she couldn't be certain. She never met her.

She shook her hands in her soaked, short brown hair, getting it very soapy. Her hair smelled the worst, and of course, it was always by her face.

After she finished washing herself clean of the sent of death, Ada stood in the shower, and let the steaming water beat down on her Asian-American face.

Mom, Dad… she thought. She hadn't talked to them since before her training in HCF. Her mother, Anne was American, born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. Her father, Kenji Wong, born in Osaka was 100% Japanese. Anne and Kenji. They always supported Ada in her work, but because of the importance, she never really told them what it was, exactly. They thought she was working for the government, which was true, on some days. Others were against the government. But recently, it was for HCF, and only HCF. She didn't even know what HCF stood for.

She turned off the water, and stepped out. Her body was dripping water onto the floor, and she cursed silently when she couldn't find a towel. She searched all of the drawers under the sink, but alas, no luck. She was started to get very cold. It was, after all, the beginning of October. She opened the door, and quickly shut it, but leaving it cracked just enough for her to but her face up too. She bent over at her waist just a bit to keep her naked body from being exposed. Leon was sitting on the edge of the bed. He was blushing.

"How much did you see, Rookie?" Ada said, in a mad, but joking way.

"No pink, but a lot." Leon said. "Think of it as if you were in a small…small bikini." His smile turned into a large grin. He didn't lie, but he saw all that he could before he could see anything private.

"Well, get me a towel, please?" Ada said.

"I've got one here. C'mon and get it, if you dare!" Leon said.

"You'd like to dream! C'mon, Leon! I'm freezing my tits off!" Ada said.

Leon laughed a hearty laugh at Ada's remark. He liked that a girl can have some male qualities in her speak, but nowhere else. "Why? You cold?" Leon said, instigating the event.

"Because, I am naked…" She was cut off.

"I know!" Leon broke in.

"Leeeeeeon! C'mon! Give me a break!" Ada said.

"What's in it for me?" Leon said.

Ada slowly slid one saltlender leg out to her thigh out of the crack in the door.

"Wow. Daddy likes!" Leon said, joking, but telling the truth.

Ada, leaving her leg out, said. "Now can I have the towel?"

Leon silently walked over to her leg, and, not looking into the door, draped it across. Ada was surprised, but she didn't try to hide herself anymore than she already was. They had kissed, and she loved it, but she wasn't about to through her wet, naked body onto Leon-

-although that would be pretty nice… she thought.

Leon, being as smooth as he is, softly ran his fingertip across her light brown skin down her thigh, and over her knee, down her shin, and off her toes. This sent goosebumps over Ada's whole body.

"Can I get that shower now?" Leon said.

Ada quickly wrapped the towel around her now hot body, and stepped out into the room. Leon had another white, cotton towel in his hand. "I'm not gonna forget this." He said.

Ada only smirked, and couldn't believe how much she had flirted with Leon. She never flirted on accident. She always flirted to get what she needed for a job, sure, but never to impress a guy! Was she getting soft?

Leon shut the door, and pulled off his shirt, and dropped his pants.

Cold. Make it a cold shower, Leon. He thought to himself.
