*Beep, Beep*
Shane woke up to the sound of his alarm clock informing him that It was time to get his ass up.
"3:30 already?" He questioned.
Shane hit the clock clear off the table and woke up his wife, Julia.
"What's the problem? Oh, 3:30. I see." She said, half asleep
Shane got up and got dressed.
"There are times I wish I had joined the Bremerton PD, instead of Seattle." Shane ranted.
"Well, that's what I said, but you were dead set on being in a big-city PD." Julia said.
"Yeah, you're right." Shane said, powerless against Julia....She was perfect in every way.
Shane was captain of the Seattle SWAT, and had the medals to prove his commitment. But, He hated getting up at 3:30 to get to Seattle by 6:30....30 minutes to dress, eat, shower, and say goodbye to Julia. 1 hour to drive to the port, get his ferry ticket, wait for the damn thing, and board. 1 hour to get from Bremerton to Seattle on the ferry, including getting off. Then, he had half an hour to get to the Precint, report in, and get to the SWAT briefing room to brief the men on today's missions.
"Well, I better get started." he said.

Thirty minutes later, he stepped out of his house and drove his car to the port. He got his ticket and waited for the ferry to show up. While he waited, he glanced up at the De-commisioned Cruiser (#1)St. Louis that sat at the harbor as a memorial to the ships that left this harbor during WWII and were never to put up here again. Tours go on all the time, as adults scared their kids by saying that the ship was haunted, and by looking at it from a certain point of view, you could swear that the ship had eyes and was watching you...
*Okay, time to wake up*
The Ferry came in, looking big as always, as hundreds of people pushed into it. Shane, however, was lucky: He was one of the twenty people per ride that could put their cars in the "Hangar" under the passenger area.
After that, some guards moved him inside. They thought something was in the Air, because strange things had been happening...
*And who could blame them?*
It had started 10 days ago. Umbrella, who was under federal investigation, was ordered to hand over samples of several kinds of chemicals that were thought to be some sort of Bio-chem weapons. They were called the T, G, and UV-Viruses. The tanker that had been taking them to the University of Washington had collided with a ferry near Seattle. 217 people on the ferry were killed instanly, and the Tanker had capsized...sending it's contents into the sound. Within two hours, the entire sound had been closed off. Now, every ferry had a coast guard escort.The police cjief hadbeen shot in his own office, by what appeaed to be, some sort of spy. Rumors were rampant, even to the extent of people blaming Umbrella.
People started getting sick, and within two days the sick people had started to go insane, even eating other people. Two hospitals had been shut down, the people inside told to saty there. But, the chaos was spreading....crime rose 1000% in the last week, and It was becoming ever increasing everyday.
*Sad too This city used to be easy*
Then, he could see It.
The view of Seattle, arriving by ferry, was stunning, even early in the morning. You could see why It was called the "Emerald city".
*Wow, it never gets old*
Then, Shane noticed a familiar face....It was Eric Raymond, the new STARS recruit. Shane had read his file, and was happy to see Johnsons replacement.
" Could I help you? I'm Shane Haughey, Captain of Seattle SWAT." Shane said.
" Hi, I'm Eric Raymond.I'm the new recruit fo STARS." said the young kid. " I'm not very familiar with this area."
" I'll give you a ride to the Precint." Shane said.
