Resident Evil: Escape

Chapter 1-1 "Red Star Apartments"
Lee Richards, a cop in Raccoon city. The T-Virus has infected Raccoon City. Today was his day off, he lives in the "Red Star Apartments" apartment building. It was around 9 o' clock.
Lee has short spiky hair, and tan skin. He is Caucasian and Thai. It was just like any night, his brother, Wang, was on his way home, from work… He never made it home…
Lee was passed out on the couch, wearing his blue jeans, and a black T-shirt. He lives on Floor 8, the building makes sort of a "V" shape, there are 4 apartments on each level, and a two story lobby at the bottom. The power went off, and Lee woke up.
He felt drowsy; he rubbed his eyes, and got up, looking around at his apartment in the dark. His cell phone rang; he took it off of his belt and answered it. There was a fuzzy sound, he could partially hear Wang's voice, but this is all he could under stand: "Lee! Are… their back… you nee… rry!"
"What?" he talked into the phone… No answer. He put the cell phone back on his belt.
There was a crash, outside of his room. Lee walked over to the door, and unlocked it, glancing into the dark hallway. In front of his door, a shattered light lay in the hall; Lee knelt down, and picked up something in the rubble, a BRASS CANDLEHOLDER.
"Hmm." He murmured. He got back up; something grabbed him, to his right.
He wrestled its hands, and pushed it down, before it could bite him, the "person" was moaning. Lee ran into his apartment, and locked the door. He ran to his bedroom, and got his BERETTA 9MM out, with 10 rounds in the clip.
The zombie banged on the door, Lee scrambled through the apartment, looking for something he could use against it, he walked into his brother's room, still searching, he found nothing, he moved to his bathroom, he picked up his brothers SILVER NECKLACE. Lee was planning to get out of the building.
The door came down, it thumped on the ground, Lee looked at the bedroom door, the zombie, slowly moved around, moaning, he came up to the door, and walked into the bedroom.
Lee fired a round into its chest, it seemed to step back, then kept coming. Another round was fired, but he still came. The final bullet entered the zombie's skull, splattering its brains over the floor and wall, it fell to the ground, and a puddle of blood covered the carpet around it1s head.
Lee ran out of the bedroom, and apartment. He was in the hall, a little light filtered in, down the hall to his left, at the window, to his right, the hall lead into darkness.
There was another crash, in the darkness ahead of Lee. He quickly pointed the gun into the darkness, backing up towards the light. "Come out! Or I will fire!" He shouted.
Nothing happened. "Come out now asshole!"
A dog walked out of the darkness, Lee put his gun down, it was his neighbors German Shepard. The dog stared at him, almost giving him a look, as if the dog was raising one of its eyebrows.
Lee felt stupid. "Come here boy!" the dog ran up to him, Lee petted it. "Come on, let's get outta here!"
Hecontinued down the hallway, and headed towards the elevator. He pressed the button. Nothing happened. He realized the power was off, again, he felt stupid, putting his hand on his fore head.
He and the dog moved towards the stair case… The door was locked. "What the hell? Open!" Lee yelled, banging on the door.
Crap, maybe I can find something in one of the apartments. He thought.
The hallway through the building looked like an L, and at the bottom of the L, was a T intersection, and down it was the elevator and stairs.
Lee walked back to the T intersection, and took the left, to one door, it was unlocked. The dog was behind him, following him. In front of him, on the south wall, was a window, he was in the living room. There were expensive couches, and lamps. There was nothing of use, so he moved to the kitchen, to the right of him.
A puddle of blood lay on the counter top, along with two 9MM MAGAZINES (20 rounds). This is serious! Lee thought, looking at the blood. He continued to small hall behind him. The bedroom door was locked. The bathroom, next to it was empty; nothing was in it, very odd.
Lee continued back to the kitchen, and entered onto the balcony, the city spread out in front of him. There was a second glass door, to the locked bedroom. Lee opened it and walked inside. The dog stayed behind, but why?
Walking slowly into thebedroom, he noticed someone was on the bed, and stood up, moaning. Not again! Lee shot it in the forehead, but it kept walking towards him. Another bullet passed through his skull, having the same outcome it had on the other zombie.
There was a letter on the bed, covered in blood.
Dear Martha,
I know I haven't seen you fro a long time, and I miss you. I don't know what's happening to me. The janitor outside attacked me, my arm is bleeding, I am feeling weird. I haven't treated my wound, he bit me! I am bleeding a lot now… I donnn
"Damn." whispered Lee. He unlocked the door, and walked back into the living room. He left the apartment, the dog followed. He walked to the corner of the L hallway, and entered the door to the apartment.
Lee searched everything he could, in the living room, bedroom, and the bathroom. In the bathroom there was a 9MM MAGAZINE.
He left that apartment. His right jean pocket was full, with a total of 37 rounds. He continued to the last apartment, at the top of the backwards L. Just like the others, he searched everything he could in the apartment. There was a body in the bathroom, Lee didn't disturb it. There was a Maintenance Key in the bedroom, must have been the Maintenance worker who lived there. Lee walked out of the apartment, with the dog.
In a flash, the lights came back on. Lee hurried to the elevator. He and the dog went to Floor 4. Lee wanted to see if his friend, Kay and made it out, or what. This floor, along with all of the others, followed the same layout.
Lee headed to the top of the backwards L hall, to Kay's door. It was locked; there were three locks on it, one green, one red, and one blue.
He knocked on the door, no answer. The power went off again, and then on again… a few seconds later it went off, and stayed off.
Helooked up at the roof, at the lights. What is going on? He though, angrily.
Now he had to find another way out, so he went back to searching apartments. He went into the apartment that is where his would be.
In this room, there was nothing, except for a Laptop, which was on, making the area glow blue. It was at this was what was on the site:
Shotgun-600
Riot Gun-1,000
Striker-10,000
Sniper Rifel-1,000
Ingram-450
TMP-600
Tec 9-500
AKS-74U-6,000
Lee got out his wallet, only Subway coupons were in it. "Figures" he said. He searched the apartment, nothing in the bathroom, one of the bedrooms, in the other bathroom he found a BLUE KEY.
In the other bedroom, there was a Typewriter, next to a candle, beside the messy bed. Lee typed up what happened so far, and it ended "001/floor 4 bedroom"
He left that apartment, and headed to the next door on his left. This place was empty, so far, Lee went into the bathroom.
A zombie jumped out of the shower at him, scaring the crap out of him, he pushed it off, the shower curtain getting in the way. Lee was scared, and fired his 7 rounds into the shower curtain on the floor. A puddle of blood leaked under it.
Lee took the curtain off, revealing an offensive smelling, purple flesh, dead body. Lee searched its pockets, and found 50 bucks.
Lee left the bathroom, and spotted something on the side of the bed. The dog laid down, Lee found the RED KEY.
"My luck." he said, reloading his gun.
He left with the dog and headed to the last apartment. As he walked in, a group of zombies were moaning on the floor, eating something… A body! There were 3 of them, they all looked up at Lee, and walked towards him. The dog pounced on the little girl zombie, while Lee shot the other two adults dead, using 5 rounds.
"Hey!" Lee shouted, the dog got off of her, and Lee shot her in the head. Four bloody bodies covered the living room floor; Lee didn't have the guts to search them for money.
He searched the kitchen, nothing, then the bedroom, again, nothing. Finally, the bathroom. There was a key in the tub, he picked up the GREEN KEY, and left for the door, with the dog.
He walked up to the door, and tried the red key in the red lock, it didn't fit. "Come on!" he tried to look at it in the dim light, but he couldn't see the key to good. He thought for a minute, then took out his cell phone, and went to the menu screen, it produced a blue light.
On the back of the red key, there was a strip of Green tap, on the back of the green, a strip of blue tape, and on the back of the blue, a strip of red tape.
Lee put the blue key in the red lock, Green key in the blue lock, and the red key in the green lock.
The door opened. There was a rope, tied around an entertainment center, going out a broken window. Kay! He must have made it out! Lee looked down the building.
"Sorry bud, I am going to have to leave you hear…" lee told the dog, it barked.
Lee looked back at the rope… "Unless…" He pulled it up and made a harness for the dog, it had tow loops, one behind the front legs, and one behind the back. He lowered the dog slowly to a balcony on the second level, then he pulled the rope back up, and went down himself.
He was now on the second floor of the Lobby. There was a big open area, with catwalks around the side of the building, and over small compartments that stretched out from the ground level wall.
Lee and the dog headed for the exit, blue moonlight covered the area, through the large glass windows at the entrance. It was locked. "Hmm. I guess we will have to find another way, huh bud?" Lee told the dog. There was a door to the compartments to the left of the entrance, it read "Storage" and was locked.
Hesearched the area; there was a large fountain in the room, with water, that was to dark to see in. Lee walked up to the second floor Lobby, and walked around the catwalks to get to a compartment, over another compartment, the door unlocked.
There were plenty of desks in the room, but nothing useful. Files were spread across the desks, and there was a hole in the ground. Lee jumped into it, the dog didn't follow.
In this room, there were shelves everywhere, and a GOLD RING lying on the ground. Lee searched the shelves, and came across a STORAGE ROOM KEY.
He unlocked the door, and came out in front of the big fountain in the Lobby. The dog wasn't in sight. The room was silent, Lee steps echoed in the large Lobby, as he headed for the Storage door. He was half way there.
The sound of glass shattering above Lee was heard. Something big was above him, its large footsteps echoed; it was moving fast, Lee unlocked the door, and shut it behind him, hoping the dog was okay, and that he didn't get spotted. There was a shovel in the room, a small one. Lee put it under his belt, and went to the door on his left; nothing else was useful among the selves in this room.
He used the maintenance key, and walked into a small room, with another door. A GRENADE lay to his left, he picked it up. The continued trough the next door.
In here, boxes filled the dark room, different sorts of items lay throughout the room. Lee picked up the SPRAY PAINT, and SHOTGUN SHELLS, along with 2 9MM MAGAZNES.
There was a blood covered switch in the room, Lee flicked it on. The light came on, revealing a zombie in the darkness of the floor.
It bit into Lee's leg, after he got free, he smashed its head. Lee immediately left the room. He headed for the Lobby.
When he opened the STORAGE door, an infected Doberman dog was in front of him, Lee quickly drew his pistol, and shot three round into it, it jumped at him, and flew backwards as Lee shot it again, it got back up, Lee reloaded his weapon, and fired at it until it died, in the fountain, 7 shots later.
He looked at the light up water; there was something shiny in it, a key, the ENTRANCE KEY. "BUD!" Lee shouted, the dog sprinted down the stairs to him. "Come on!" he petted him, "Let's get outta here and find Wang." Lee unlocked the Door, and left the Red Star Apartment Building.
