Leon went to his small apartment and started getting his things together. Why did he bother unpacking yesterday? Why was he even packing now? He knew that this would be just like his last mission with Ashley: running around with zero help from the rescued and needing to kill strange creatures. He really didn't need to pack… all he needed was his handy handgun. Hopefully, he'd meet some more of those nice merchants… then he could buy some big guns…he liked big guns…
Within an hour, he was on a chopper. Flying to some random place in the world which held Possum City. Just the thought of naming a town that made him smile. Suddenly, the chopper just landed.
"Sorry." the pilot said, "We're under orders to land here and let you carry on the rest of the way on foot. Its only about three miles or so." Leon sighed. He knew they'd do this to him. What did they think, he was overweight or something? He grabbed his handgun and started to walk into the silence.
By the time Leon had made it the first mile, the sun was already someplace else and the new moon had replaced it. Which meant, that Leon was walking in complete darkness, much like he was blind.
"Damn." he muttered to himself, "I hate it when its this dark." For a moment, he thought about stopping until there was some light, but decided against it, with his luck, he'd be attacked in his sleep. He kept walking, his trusty handgun within reach. He walked the rest of the way in total darkness, and was soon in Possum City.
For being such a new city, it was already pretty well set up. Probably had a little help from Umbrella, Leon thought. There were already tiny houses lining the paved roads. The streetlights were lit and the town was silent. Which was quite a relief, since his last mission, he was bombarded by crazy people right away. He liked a nice and easy entrance.
Breathing hard, he ran into Possum City, hoping not to awaken anyone. He stood behind a tree when he heard a door opening. He saw someone walk out of a house. Not really someone….more like something. It appeared to be an infected, but it surely didn't act like an infected. Had Umbrella already succeed in creating a better serum? He tripped slightly and made a slight grunting noise as he fell. The creature immediately turned his attention to Leon.
"Shit." Leon muttered, reaching for his handgun as the creature ran towards him, arms out, ready to grab…and bite.
