Chapter 1: Fragile Peace

08:03 AM, 8th May 1995

"Good morning it is eight oh three AM, now over to Sandy Danville with the weather." The newsreader for Raccoon City News Network announced cheerfully.

The camera cut to Sandy Danville and she smiled, "Thank you Mark, well it's a bright start to the day with plenty of sun and high temperatures of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, so for those of you with hay-fever or sensitive skin, be careful. The bright weather looks set to continue throughout the day but it will be a mild and cloudy night with eventual rain early next morning."

Finished with her announcement she passed back to Mark who faced the camera and was serious for a moment.

"In recent news, there are still no arrests being made for the recent outbreak of cannibal killings, last night two more people were killed and eaten by a gang of at least twenty people," He paused before continuing, "The police have released a statement saying that they have received an anonymous phone call from a person claiming to have information. We expect to hear more on this story for the evening news..."

The TV set continued to drone out the newsreader's speech as a lone figure sat in the room, not even listening. The figure was a teenage Caucasian boy aged sixteen with short brown hair and blue eyes. He was dressed simply in a pair of navy blue sweatpants; a grey T-shirt, black socks and black and white sneakers. He was busy reading a Manga comic, his name was Tim Shaffer, he was a High School Sophomore and an avid Manga and anime fan, he also had an interest in cosplaying and when visiting various cosplay sites he went by the screen name Satheroth Kitsune. He was busy reading when his Mother walked into the room.

"Tim c'mon," She said with a sigh, "You're gonna be late for school."

"Alright, I'm going," He replied, closing his Manga and placing it in his book bag, he picked it up, pulled on the lightweight black trench coat he liked to wear and left the house, heading for school, heading for the bus that would take him from the suburbs to school.

As he walked out of the house he spotted his next door neighbour and fellow student Katrina Perri. Katrina was a year older than him, seventeen. She was a Caucasian girl and, thanks to her love of sunbathing, her skin had a pleasant tan. She also had long light brown hair and blue eyes. She was taken advantage of the sunny morning to deepen her tan by sunbathing in her front garden before school, clad only in her favourite light pink bikini. Sitting in the front garden with her was her friend Dylan Henderson, also seventeen. Dylan was also Caucasian and since he also sunbathed, although not as extensively as Katrina, he was also tan although his was lighter. He had long brown hair which he pulled back into a high ponytail and brown eyes, he was also rather buff due to his love of working out, it looked like Dylan would be joining Katrina in early morning sunbathing as he was clad only in a pair of denim shorts. Tim shook his head and called over to them.

"Hey guys, you do know you're gonna be late for school if you don't get a move on."

Dylan just waved dismissively and Katrina laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll be fine," She replied batting her eyelashes, Tim shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat before turning away and continuing to walk down the street.

As he walked he met Katrina and Dylan's friend Holly Day. Holly was a sixteen year old Caucasian girl, unlike her friends she wasn't tan, however she was well known for her popularity in school and was one of the popular crowd, this led to her being a little bitchy, especially when she was with her popular friends, but she had a good heart and was kind to people who she wouldn't give the time of day in school. She had long black hair which she wore in a ponytail pulled over her left shoulder and dark blue eyes. She was dressed in a pair of black jeans along with a black boobtube and black sandals. She smiled and waved at Tim before heading past him and going to meet up with her friends. Tim got on the bus and rode to school, shaking his head at the laid back behaviour of Katrina, Dylan and Holly.

'How do they do that sort of stuff and still get good grades, makes no sense Especially Katrina...Maybe she only pretends to be dumb.'

He sat back in his seat and pulled out his Manga and continued to read.

Holly walked up to her sunbathing friends and laughed.

"Katrina, I don't think you can get any more tan that you are now." She joked, Katrina laughed, "Whatever."

Dylan rolled his eyes, "C'mon, sit down and join us."

Holly shook her head, "No thanks, I'll stand, so, I take you guys are already prepared and are just taking time out before heading for school."

They both nodded and Holly smiled, it was the same as always. Katrina shaded her eyes and looked around; she smiled and waved at the man walking past the garden.

"Hey Mr Keaton!" She called out, Mr Keaton looked over, blushed when he noticed her attire, or lack thereof and waved awkwardly before walking on.

Katrina giggled; she wasn't worried about Mr Keaton seeing her in just a bikini, especially since her sunbathing was a regular occurrence. She knew he had seen her before; his reaction was always the same, besides he was happily married and had a kid who he loved too much to try anything funny. Gary Keaton was a thirty year old Hispanic man, he was bald and had black eyes and was dressed in brown jeans, a white T-shirt, black socks and black shoes. He owned a shop in Downtown Raccoon City, Katrina smiled up at Holly.

"Are you sure you don't wanna join us?" Holly sighed and shook her head, "Alright then, you've convinced me, let me grab a chair."

With that Holly went to join her friends.

Meanwhile, hidden many miles deep below the city, hidden amongst the shadows within the secret underground lab, was a man, who appeared to be a scientist, he was talking to someone on the phone.

"I don't care what it takes, stop him, understand." He paused for a moment and then added, "This is the perfect chance for us to test out the capabilities of the T-Virus, we must take it and I can't let that traitor cause problems."

He waited for the person on the other end to reply and then, satisfied, he hung up and began working on the computer before him, gathering data from all files marked with 'T-Virus' and he copied the data onto a USB Drive.

'If something goes wrong here I'll send this to the Chairman,' He thought, 'We can't let this data fall into the wrong hands.'

With that he smiled and began to return to his normal work of overseeing the experiments in the lab.
