An alarm rings in the Schmidt household. A man slowly opens his eyes. 6:30 A.M. It was
time for his wife to get up and ready for work. She sets the alarm off and went to the
bathroom down the hall. The man,Kyle, got up and went into the living room and turned
on the television. Kyle, half asleep turned it to channel 4. The news was on. The
anchorman said," Now lets take it to the weather with Jason Peere,Jason?" just then the
weatherman came on screen and said,"Thank you, Mark, today's high is 82 degrees for the
Racoon city area and a low of 73 degrees. We have a west wind flow at 1.52 MPH. Back to
You Mark." At that point,the phone rang. Kyle let it ring. The answering machine
beeped, and a familiar voice said,"Kyle, it's Carl, You need to come to--" just then
Kyle picked up the phone and Carl, his boss said,"Work today, we need you to drive."
"okay, I'll be there. 7:45 okay?" "Its perfect. Get ready!"

Kyle's wife was already gone for work, and Kyle was showering. after he was out of the
shower, he got dressed in Levi's and an Old Navy muscle shirt. He went to the kitchen
and opened a drawer,there he pulled out an old colt magnum,and put it in his pocket.
He then went the garage,
and started his car, opened the garage door and was off. he passed a sign that
read "You are now leaving Greenville!"

Kyle pulled into the shipping yard and parked. Carl walked up to him as he left the car
and closed the door. "Kyle, your semi is loaded and ready to go, right over there,"Carl
said pointing at a big red rig. Kyle got in and slipped the magnum in the glove box and
started the semi. He was to deliver to N. Raccoon city, 47 miles north of Raccoon city.
