"I've heard of that incident in Raccoon City in 98" Raymond shook his head trying to lose the thought. He could clearly see some smoke in the sky coming from various directions. Raymond turned around and looked in the backseat trying to look for anything else to help him on his escape. The back seat was empty; he turned forward and looked at back at the road. A man jumped in the road and held his hands up meaning to signal a stop.
Raymond swerved the car to the left missing the man by a few inches and sliding a few feet. Raymond yanked the wheel to the right and let off the gas, causing the car to regain traction and jerk to the right. The car continued to slide and slammed into a tree at the cars back left door. The small crash shook Raymond up and bit but he had no serious injuries. He looked out of the right passenger window to see the man running to the car. The man stopped just at the door and started pounding on the window.
"Get me out of here people are going crazy!" Raymond rolled down the passenger window about an inch, as the man started to jerk the handle trying to open the door. Raymond pulled out the handgun in his belt aiming at the man's head.
"How do I know your not one of them" The man flinched and put his hands up.
"Please, I'm not one of them get me out of here" Raymond could clearly see that the man had emotion and was well alive.
"Alright, get in." Raymond put the gun back in his belt, reached over and unlocked the passenger door.
"Oh my god, thank you" The man said as he opened the door and sat down "Oh, and by the way my names Connor."
"Mines Raymond nice to meet you on this fine day.. How old are ya?"
"I'm 28… and yeah what a fine day it is." Answered Connor, Raymond started to drive slowly and got back on the road. He turned to Connor.
"So you got a weapon?" asked Raymond, Connor raised a fist
"This is all I need and so should a real man" Raymond nodded
"Not gonna be enough" Connor turned to Raymond
"What you calling me a wuss? Can't defend myself? What about you? You need a gun" Raymond smirked and looked down at the gun in his belt then back up at the road
"Well I don't need a gun. It's just better to have one just in case." Connor looked out of his window watching a few people getting attacked by zombies.
"So.. What are they?" asked Connor looking at the zombies ahead. Raymond swerved the car missing the zombies roaming on the road.
"I don't know… I think they might be the same as those things that were involved in the 1998 incident at Raccoon City." Answered Raymond, Connor turned to him
"Are you sure? I mean… What's happening to this world?" asked Connor as he glared at the gun in Raymond's belt.
"I have no idea…" answered Raymond looking at the clock in the dashboard. Connor looked at Raymond's face examining it
"Are you scared?" Connor asked with a quiet voice. Raymond turned to Connor and then stared at each other for about five seconds.
"Of course I am" said Raymond looking back at the road.
"So… um where are we headed?" Connor asked, Raymond cleared his throat
"I work as a pilot for helicopter tours. I should be able to get one of them to get out of here. Otherwise I have no fucking idea." Connor opened the glove compartment. He reached inside and took out a handgun similar to Raymond's.
"Hey cool I got one too. Now I'm sure we can survive but by the way how far is your work place?" Connor asked as he fingered the gun.
"About ten minutes from here. If those "Zombies" aren't everywhere by now it should be safe there. Being in the center of the city it may already be swarmed."
"Well they first noticed those things at the north edge of town early this morning at about 5. They shouldn't have spread that fast." Said Connor in a questioning voice
"Well let's hope so." Raymond said in a depressed voice as he turned the car on the onramp to the freeway. The road was deserted but the side leading out of the city was like a parking lot.
Raymond turned on the radio and they heard a woman's voice saying "All ways out of the city have been closed off. It seems the US Government doesn't want any of those things getting out of the city." Raymond turned off the radio "Heh thought so and that's why I decided to get a chopper to get out of here"
"I would think people would want to drive out even against traffic," said Connor
There was a cloud of smoke rising from the road up ahead. "And I guess that's the reason" said Raymond as he slowed the car as he got close to a large car pile up. "Damn what happened here? There's got to be over 20 cars in that crash!"
The car slowed to a halt and Raymond opened the door and got out. There was numerous bodies scattered on the ground they were all motionless. He bent over into the police cruiser. "Connor get out there may be some survivors that we could help" Connor got out and took a look around. Raymond walked slowly past all the bodies and seen someone on their knees with a backpack with their pants had many blood stains on it. The person was bent over a body. Raymond looked at Connor and took out his handgun, then aimed it at the person "Shh.. come on lets check it out" Raymond said as he quietly walked to the person.
