You were sitting at your desk in the DSO, doing paperwork. The usual lately. You were already annoyed enough when you saw that you had been assigned to a new training mission in the cold depths of Russia with Leon S. Kennedy, because of, and I quote, 'the great teamwork they provided to face the horrors of Raccoon City back in 1998'.

Leon and you used to be a team, so to say. Atleast for almost a night. However, until the Umbrella-agent, Ada Wong appeared, and he basically abandoned you. After September 30th 1998, he didn't even try reach out to you, didn't visit you in the hospital, knowing you were there, and both of you have never exchanged a word again ever since. Not even when the two of you were in the same courses, training, etc.

Speak of the devil, he knocked on your office door.
