Summary
The stifling heat of July 1998 is already driving Chris Redfield to the brink of burnout. Between the mounting dread of the Arklay Mountain investigations and the suffocating corporate atmosphere choking the RPD, the absolute last thing he needs is to babysit the department's shiny new rookie, Leon S. Kennedy.
But Leon isn't just another fresh-faced cop. He’s sharp, terrifyingly analytical, and entirely too good at spotting the patterns that someone has gone through great lengths to hide.
What starts as a tedious week of paperwork and routine patrols rapidly spirals into a silent, dangerous partnership. As the pieces of a massive conspiracy begin to click into place, Chris and Leon find themselves racing against a ticking clock—navigating a corrupt police chief, an oblivious precinct, and a heavy, unspoken friction between them that's getting harder and harder to ignore.
—
An AU where Leon’s early arrival places him directly inside the Arklay conspiracy, forcing him and Chris into a dangerous partnership that begins before the mansion incident ever occurs.
