Chapter Two
Carly was the first one to regain her senses. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised that she and Sam were no longer in her room. Rather, they were outside somehow. Carly looked around at her surroundings. They were both sitting leaned up against a brick wall. She tried to identify where they were at, but she truly had no idea. She heard a groan to her left. She turned her head to see Sam just beginning to awake.
"What happened-- where are we?" Sam looked around confused.
"I have no clue. The last thing I remember is the TV going crazy or something. I don't know what's going on.." Carly frowned as she felt a mild headache.
"Oh my god... Carly Shay doesn't know what to do! Alert the media!!" Sam made an expression of mock surprise. Carly gave Sam the evil eye, which was a sign that she was pissed, which wasn't often, so Sam straightened up.
"Sorry." Sam apologized. It was then that Sam noticed the unfamiliar surroundings. Carly seemed unhappy with their current situation as well, but her expression was unreadable.
It seemed they were in an alley of sorts in a part which they didn't recognize. It seemed to be midday, as the sun shined brightly ahead, which made it kind of hot.
"Hey Carly, If I were stuck in some place not knowing where the heck I was with any other person in the planet, I'm glad it's with you." Sam looked over to Carly, trying to make out her expression. Carly just laughed.
"Thanks. Now, I have an idea. I say we go that way." She pointed forward, which seemed to lead to a busy street of some sort. Sam nodded in agreement. They made their way out of the dark alleyway, only to be met with a very busy street. There were cars everywhere, all headed in one direction. Honking and shouting made up the majority of the noise. It looked as if some people had even abandoned their cars and were walking-- or in some cases-- running. It seemed like a lot of people were in a panic to leave.
"Wow. This is worse than Seattle, even during Christmas. I wonder where everyone is headed." said Sam.
Carly didn't respond. She had her eyes fixed onto the large building across the street that had the word R.C.P.D. plastered on the front. There were several cop cars parked out front with various cops strewn about. It looked like some of them were bringing some people into the entrance, and having a difficult time with it.
"Sam, I think we should head across the street and talk to one of the police officers to see if we can get some info on what is going on." Sam didn't respond, as she was still shocked at the chaos in front of her.
Carly sighed, grabbed Sam's head, and turned it towards the police station. "Us. Over there. Information. We go."
Sam frowned.
"Why there? You know I haven't always enjoyed the company of cops." Yes, Carly knew well that Sam always hated cops. But right now there was no other option.
"There's really no other option. We have to. Lets go." Carly then grabbed onto Sam's arm and dragged her across the street while Sam yelled and screamed.
"Argggh Carly. There's gotta be a better option than asking a cop what's going on!!" Carly just ignored her and dragged Sam to the front of the entrance.
"Do YOU have a better option?" asked Carly.
"No, but I'm sure if you gave me some time-- and ham-- I could definitely think of one." Sam responded annoyed. Carly just rolled her eyes. Sam mentioning food at a time like this--not very surprising.
"Fine, lets go. But we're gonna try to get out ASAP. Ok?" Sam said sighing.
"K. Now lets go." Carly was about to grab Sam up the stairs when Sam stopped her. "Dun dun Dunnn!" Sam almost shouted her trademark sound effects. "What now?" asked Carly getting pissed.
"This place looks similar to the Police Station in Resident Evil 2. And look, it even says RCPD!" Sam said wide-eyed.
"That is only a game Sam." She said to Sam as she was stupid.
"Well thanks for crashing my happy thoughts. Note to self: Next time this happens to us, bring Spencer. He would know." Sam said. Carly smirked at the reminder of Spence, who was probably a bigger fan of Resident Evil than Sam was.
They walked up the stairs and entered through the large heavy wooden doors. The scene inside was no better than it was outside.
There were cops scrambling everywhere. Some were trying to keep hold of various people, which they were struggling with a lot. You could also barely hear any conversations because there was so much shouting and confusion. To top it all off, the various people that the cops were trying to hold down looked like train wrecks. Their clothes were dirty and disheveled, and their skin was an ugly gray colour. They were snarling their teeth like wild animals, which looked rotten to begin with.
"Eww." Carly looked like she was about to vomit. Sam's face was expressionless. She was about to make a comment when the doors they came in through burst open and a woman stepped through. She looked very, VERY similar to someone that both Sam and Carly knew. She had short, dark hair, and was very pretty. She wore a blue tube-top with a rather short leather mini-skirt on.
"Dun dun DUNNNN!" Sam almost shouted. Carly snapped back.
"Would you cut that out?" she hotly asked, but Sam just shrugged.
"Sorry."
The woman looked over at Sam with an amused looked, but quickly turn her attention to the madness in front of her. She raised her gun and let out some shots, aiming for the people that the cops were struggling with. After a few seconds, the firing stopped, and now laid about five bodies with a bullet in their forehead. A man to her right shouted.
"Valentine! Where the hell have you been?" he looked very pissed.
"I told you to shoot for the head." Valentine then scowled at the man. The man's expression softened up a little bit. Then a new voice cut through the conversation.
"Help! Someone get this bitch offa me!" A black man was yelling and trying to keep away from the woman that he was handcuffed with. It look like she was trying to bite his face off. Valentine then noticed this and turned her gun towards the man. His eyes seemed to bulge out of his large head.
"No, dun shoot! Do--" He yelled but was cut off mid sentence when two shots rang out. One bullet was placed in the thug's partner, and the other shot had broken the handcuffs which binded them together. He looked relieved and shocked at the same time.
She then turned her attention to Sam and Carly.
"I'm leaving town. I suggest you all do the same!" she shouted. She then turned around and began to stroll out of the entrance. Several people followed suit, taking head of her advice. Sam then dragged a stunned Carly out of the entrance and back outside. Sam spotted the woman getting into a green Jeep and rushed over, still dragging Carly, who looked like she was going to pass out.
"Hey woman! Ya think you could at least give us a lift? We have nowhere else to go!" Sam was shouting over the noise trying to get the attention of the woman. Valentine looked over with a very annoyed expression, but nodded her head yes when she saw it was Sam and Carly. "Fine, get in. But don't piss me off." she said sternly. Sam quickly shook her head and shoved Carly into the backseat, then promptly placed herself in the front passenger seat. Valentine then put the jeep into gear, and instead of turning to get on the street, she turned and began to wheel down the sidewalk, honking her horn at anybody who got in the way.
"So, what's your story?" Valentine started. Sam was about to respond when Carly spoke, who now looked like she was not going to pass out.
"Can you excuse us for a minute please?" Carly 'kindly' shouted, if that is even possible. Valentine nodded.
Sam then threw herself into the back of the jeep, which Valentine didn't seem to mind.
"Sam... I have no clue how this happened, but we can't tell them ANYTHING. You hear me?" she said nervously. Carly knew Sam all too well. Sam raised her eyebrows but remained speechless and nodded her head. Sam then climbed back into the front seat.
"So again, what's your guy's story?" Valentine asked again like she was talking casual even though she was making sharp turns left and right down a sidewalk none the less.
"We're kinda lost." Sam said. Valentine didn't respond so she continued. "We were on our way to uhh.. Chicago.. when we ran into this dump here. We have no clue what the hell is going on around here." Sam half-lied.
Valentine laughed.
"Well kiddo, yall picked a hell of a spot to get lost at. And a hell of a time too." Just as she finished the sentence she made a sharp left and abruptly stopped at the end of the road where it looked to be barricaded. "Shit!" She shouted. She then did a u-turn and sped down the street the way they came.
Valentine was still grumbling when Sam decided to cut in. "Do you know what is going on around here? This place looks to be in some sort of a panic..." Carly slapped Sam on her shoulder. Sam turned and gave her a 'What?' look and shrugged her shoulders.
Valentine sighed heavily. "You wouldn't believe me if I told ya."
"Try us." cut in Carly.
Valentine sighed again and slammed the brakes to bring the car to a screeching halt. Up ahead there seemed to be traffic for miles. "Look, there's only one way outta here and its ahead of all this." She pointed ahead. "Were gonna have to walk the rest of the way. I can try to explain on the way."
Came out shorter than I expected, But I am still satisfied with it.
