"What happened here?" Amy asked, opening the battered door to town hall. Jack turned on his flashlight and scanned the room. A sudden rush of air brought the smell of rotting flesh to their noses and Amy closed her eyes.

"What is that smell?" Jack asked, Amy turned on her flashlight and shone it on a dark lump in the corner of the room.

"Jack, they're bodies…"

"That can't be…The report stated that all the residents of the city were evacuated…how could there be…" Jack was cut off by a sound before them. Amy raised her flashlight to a door, nailed shut and covered in bullet holes.

"Nothing…Who could have done this, and why?" Jack asked, Amy walked up to the door and ran a finger over one of the bullet holes.

"These are pretty fresh, like they were made only a few hours ago!"

"That can't be, everyone was evacuated, remember!" Amy jumped as her brother's voice came over the radio.

"Amy, It's Wes, do you read?" Amy raised the radio to her ear and pushed down on the large black button.

"Wes, I hear you load and clear, what's up?"

"What have you guys found?" Amy looked over at Jack who shrugged.

"Bodies…" Wes couldn't believe his ears.

"Are you sure?" Wes replied. Katt looked at him and frowned. I looks too much like Racoon she thought sounds like it too.

"That's right, about, six, maybe seven dead bodies…and the door is nailed shut and covered in bullet holes!" Wes shook his head at the news.

"Amy, stay close to Jack, understand!"

"Yes, Sir."

"So what do we do captain?" Sam asked, Wes smiled at Katt who blushed.

"What do you want me to do?" She asked, Wes looked down at the small map. Each of them had one, it marked the places in the town where they needed to assess the damage and, if possible, return the power.

"I want you to head to the Mayors office, as back up for Amy and Jack."

"But, Sir, then they'll only be yourself and Sam!"

"I shall call on Dave and Carol, then send Sam to them…" Katt looked at Sam's expression and sighed.

"If you wish it so sir." Nodding, Katt threw Sam some extra ammo and tuned toward the mayor's office.

"Captain Wes, can you hear me?" Dave asked, his radio buzzed then the voice of Wes rang through.

"We've made it to the Hospital, it's mayhem here…"

"What have you found?" Wes asked, Carol took the radio for a second and reported in to Wes about their findings.

"You mean it's a total lock down…but that only happens if an outbreak has accoured!"

"That's what we thought, but the computer must have malfunctioned. I managed to bypass the main power and open the shutters, we are in the reception area now."

"Good, well done Carol. You and Dave be on the lookout for any other strange occurrences, contact me if ANYTHING happens, understand!"

"Yes sir…we understand" Dave replied

"Looks like your staying with me Sam…Hope you don't mind!"

"Of course not captain… Shall I check on Pete, John and Susan?"

"Yes, good idea, I want a full report on how they're doing!" Sam nodded and contacted the others while Wes continued on into the city.

"It should be coming on-line…now!" John called. Susan and Pete smiled as the two computers in the police reception flashed to life.

"Ok, all the doors have been electronically sealed… all but one. Susan, see if you can get the door in the east of the reception open!"

"Will do Pete…" Susan beamed, running over to the large wooden door. As she got closer, she felt a strange sensation run down her spine. Shrugging it away, she touched the handle.

CLICK

Jumping back, Susan drew her weapon and stood ready. Blushing slightly, Pete smiled.

"Sorry, I got one of the doors open!" Susan smiled back and went to holster her weapon, but thought against it.

Better safe than sorry I suppose! She thought to herself.

Taking the handle again, she pushed on the door. It opened with ease into an open corridor.

"Ok…this door is fine, we can defiantly get through here. Any luck with the other doors?"

"I'll start on the other computer, Pete, Go with Susan and see if you can get the rest of the station on-line!" John called, sitting at the other computer in the reception area. Pete nodded and ran over to Susan, gun in hand.

"Ready partner?" Susan asked. Smiling, Pete nodded.

"Ready when you are!" he replied. Crackling could be heard and Pete answered his radio.

"This is Pete, what's up?"

"Pete, It's Sam, have you come across any problems?"

"Only one we weren't too sure about. The doors had been electronically locked." Pete smiled at Susan who shrugged.

"Electronically locked, but don't they do that in an emergency?" Sam asked, Susan looked at John who nodded, calling:

"The doors lock themselves if the police station is attacked. It's a fail safe system…programmed by yours truly!" Pete rolled his eyes.

"Your right Sam, only in emergency's. A fail-safe system apparently!" there was silence for a while, then Pete could hear gun shots.

"Sam…Sam…Who is that, who's firing?" Pete asked, Sam's shaky voice came over the radio, but Pete couldn't hear over the crackling.

"Wes…Trouble…Over!" then silence again. Susan held Pete's arm and went white. Clipping his radio back, he lowered his eyes and sighed.
