This story starts as RE1 is starting. Have no fear, neither one of these two OC's end up paired off with Leon or Chris or Wesker or Barry... I'm just re-doing the RE story with some new people thrown in the mix and altered events. This story was written for entertainment purposes only. Enjoy.

Chapter 3:
After a half hour of walking Jane was slowing down. Her shoes were making walking a task and a half on the soft dirt.
Lia who was walking at her side looked at her, then at Leon who was a few feet ahead of them. The dirt road had narrowed considerably and was practically no more than a dirt path. Where exactly were they anyway? "You ok there Jane?"
"Fine Lia… just, I have no idea why today of all days we needed to be trudging through the fucking woods." The brunette wiped a single bead of sweat from her forehead as lightening flashed in the distance.
"We're not in the woods, just outside of them…." It was terribly muggy and overcast so Lia undid a couple of buttons on her blouse. She couldn't fathom how Leon could take the heat with that leather jacket of his. Dusk was approaching in the overcast skies, seemingly faster than usual.
"Great. It's the same shit." Jane stopped by a tree, leaned against it for a second and tried to take a deep breath of the thick air. "Leon," she shouted, "Can you please slow down just a little?"
He'd already stopped upon realizing the women weren't following. "I think there's a house up ahead."
"Really?" Lia looked on ahead, squinted and then frowned. "I don't see anything."
"No, not directly in front of us, it's off to the left. You see those lights out there?" Leon nodded in the right direction wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.
Lia looked into the woods. A few hundred feet away the outline of a large house could be seen amongst the trees. A couple of windows had light shining from them. "Oh yeah, I see it! Let's hurry, I want to get there before it gets any darker out here." Lia ran to catch up with Leon. "Hurry up Jane!"
"I can only go so fast, but I'm coming." Jane shouted. "Besides, it's ok if you go on ahead of me a bit, I'll still be able to see you guys." Pushing off the tree she stepped towards the others. She wondered briefly why there were no mosquitoes around; usually people in their situation would have been bled dry by now. Who cared anyway, they were better off.
"No, we're staying together. We're not in the clear yet." Leon stated waiting for Jane to join them. With things going the way they were he was certain this would be his first and last day on the force but that didn't even matter now. The most important thing was that they all made it back into civilization alive and well.
Jane stopped at Leon's side and lifted her long hair off her neck for a moment. "Whatever you say, just don't complain if it takes us a while to get there."

Meanwhile:
The R.P.D. had their hands full as it was without all of the recent murders going on. Raccoon was a growing city and it seemed that with every bit of progress made so there were more problems.
Rebecca Chambers was running around the S.T.A.R.S. office looking for her portable med-kit. Most of the guys on Bravo Team insisted with her that they would be fine and that she should just leave it behind.
"Besides," Richard said, "We have tons of supplies ready on the copter. We only have two minutes, Enrico isn't going to be happy if we hold him up."
Rebecca looked up at him feeling a bit flustered. This was going to be her first mission, she couldn't believe she was this unprepared. "Yeah, I'm coming!" She'd pulled open the last drawer in a communal desk and there it was. "Aha! Ok, let's go."
