Chapter 3: Meeting the Carvery
Claire looks out the window, as the radio was just static, "What's going on? I arrived in town and the whole place went insane." Claire informs him "Damn! The radio's out." Leon snaps and Claire looks at his badge. "You're a cop, right?" she asks him, he nods at her, "Yeah, just day on the job. Great huh?" he tells her, then looks at her, "Names Leon Kennedy, nice to meet you." he introduce himself. "Mine's Claire. Claire Redfield. I came to find my brother Chris." she informs him as Leon then drifts a little as he turns down a street and droves down the road.
A trucker was right behind them but his driving was a little out of control as he smashes a sign.
"Hey, could you open the glove box?" he asks her, she looks at him. "Sure." she answers and opens the glove box. "There's a gun inside." she informs him, "Better take it with you." he tells her, Claire took the gun right out of the glove box and aims it at the window. But then they both jumped at a zombie jumps right out of the back of the car, scaring them. It them turns to Leon and tries to bite him. "No!" Leon shouts as he turns the wheel and rams the car right into the wall. Leon driving became out of control, but then suddenly a bullet shot right through the window, hitting the zombie right in the head. It gags as the car spins and the back slams into the a pole, making the zombie fly out and smack against it, dead.
The two inside groan as they were alright and bit free, "Are you alright?" Leon asks Claire. "Still in one peace." she answers and looks at the fresh bullet hole in the window. "Who shot at the Zombie?" she asks, Leon shrugs. "Don't know, but I owe them myself." he states, Claire shook her head at him. Then gasp as she saw a truck heading right for them. "He's actually going to ram us!" Leon shouts as the driver was too a zombie. The two unbuckle themselves from the car and open their doors. "Run!" Leon shouts, the both get out and were running away from the car as the truck slams right into it. An explosion went off, the force was strong enough to knock them to the ground.
Claire coughs as she pulls herself up and turns, looking at the fire that could of taken her life. Leon quickly stood on his feet and turns back to the fire, but shields his eyes from the bright fire. "Claire!" he calls out, "Leon!" she calls out too as she was now on her feet. "I'm okay, head to the station, I'll meet you there." Leon tells her, "Okay!" she calls out and steps away from the fire.

A few seconds ago…
Annabelle walks on the roof alongside Jacob as they look down at the street and saw a car turn onto the road. "Survivors." Jacob states and looks through his scope. "Two of them, one male the other a female. The male seems to look like a cop, rookie, perhaps." he informs her, Annabelle kneels down next to him, "Let me see the gun." she tells him, he looks at her and handed her the gun. "Look behind them." he tells her as she check to see of the gun was loaded.
Jacob did as she said and saw a truck slam right into a slam, "Poor guy, must have been bitten." he states as she nods and cocks the gun then aims it at the car, "Hey, what are you doing?!" he questions her, she shush him. "Relax, I'm not going to kill them." she assures him as the Zombie pops out, scaring the two in the car, the car then rams into the wall and pulls away. Annabelle pulls the trigger and fires at the car, the bullet went through the window and hits the Zombie right in the head. She smirks pulling her head away as the car then spins and crashes into the pole and the zombie flies right out the back. Jacob was in shock as Annabelle stood up and swings the rifle over her shoulder.
"How did you even know?" he asks her, "I told you." she states and he stood up and looks at her, "They did something to me." she states and walks off. "Hey, wait up." he calls out and quickly followed after, they were on the edge of the building as the truck crashes into the car and explodes, Jacob stops and looks at the fire. "Wha…" he questions as Annabelle jumps over to the next roof, "You coming?" she asks him and he looks at her, "What about the survivors?" he asks her, "They're fine." she assures him as she stood on the roof, Jacob then cross his arms, "How can you be so sure?" he asks her, she too cross her arms and pointed her finger up. "Claire!" Leon calls out, "Leon!" Claire calls out and Annabelle shot a smug look at Jacob and he sighs. "Alright fine, but why are you going to the station." he asks as Annabelle uncross her arms. "Because, there's something there, that Mrs. Brikins wants and she will let us go if we retrieve it." she tells him, pulling out her gun and was ready.
He nods at her, pulling his gun out as well, "Well, whatever it is, it must be of great importance." he states and Annabelle nods as they walk through the alleys. "Oh don't worry, it is." she tells him as they spotted no zombies on the ground. "I'll follow Claire and meet you at the station." he asks her, Annabelle nods. "Alright, I'll tail Leon and see you there."

They were parted by an unescapable destiny.
This was just the beginning to their worst nightmare.
Leon turns and look at the zombies coming right at him, he pulls up his gun and fires right at them, hitting them in the head. Then he ran pass them and down the road. He ran pass the other zombies as they were too slow to catch up to him then ran down an alley and found a store that was still open. He opens the door quickly and enters the store.
Leon closes the door behind him and then heard a gun being cock. "Freeze the managers orders him and Leon held up his hands. "Who 're ya? What 're ya doing here?" the man questions him. "Hold your fire, I'm a human." Leon informs him. The man looks at him as Leon showed no signs of being a zombie. The man uncocks his gun and lowers it. He exhales with relief "Whoa, sorry about that." he tells him, walking our from behind the counter and to Leon. "I'd thought you were one of them." he tells him, Leon lowers his hands and turn to the man, "What's going on in this town?" Leon asks him as the man walks to the door. "Hold on." he tells him and quickly locks the door. Then turns to Leon, "I don't have a clue, but by the time I noticed something was wrong, the entire city was infested with Zombies." the clerk informs him. Leon nods at him and walks to the counters picking up bullets and adding them to his pack. But then he heard the window crash up, he turns and saw the clerk was screaming in pain as he was fighting off the zombies, only getting bitten by them.
The clerk collapse to the ground as the zombie's pilled on him and he was dead. Leon gasp in fear as he then turns to the back door, ran to it and was right back outside. He ran down the alley, pass a basket ball court, getting the Zombies attention from inside. Leon reaches the ends of the alley and found more bullets. He then ran back, as Zombies stood in his way, he went to fire at them, but shots ran out as the zombies were shot right in the head and collapse onto the ground, Leon lowers his gun and heard two more shots rings out, he looks into the basketball court and saw the zombie's inside were dead. He steps inside. Then looks at the roofs seeing no one was around. Leon remind cautious and ran to the gate, he opens it and ran through, down more alleys.
Leon ran up a flight of stairs, around the catwalk and down more flight of stairs. He then ran down an alley as another alley was block up a dumpster with zombies on the other end, so he ran down the alley to a dead end and found more bullets so he ran away from the dead end and to the dumpster. He jumps on top of it and right down, avoiding the zombies that were getting shot at, clearing the path for him, Leon then reaches the gate and opens it. He was back on the street, he ran out of the parking lot as an officer was getting snack on. The zombies notice him, but they soon were shot in the head. The rookie then walks up onto the bus and opens the door and closes it right behind him.
He found more bullets and added them to his collection, then fires at two zombies that were on the bus. Then makes it to the front and steps back outside, the zombies drop dead from left to right, Leon ran to the gate and quickly enters and ran into the police yard, passing more zombies as the drop dead, then arrives in front of the police station and steps inside. The woman jumps down from the roof and lands in front of the station and exhales with the sniper rifle in hand, "Finally. Now continue objective, find the kid and get the hell out of this city." she tells herself, pulling the sniper rifle onto her shoulder, pulling out her shotgun and followed Leon inside the station.

30 minutes ago…
Claire was through the streets as she was firing at zombies, trying to get to the police station, a zombie was limping to her from behind, but was shot right in the head.
He turns and watches it drop then looks from behind it and saw a man in an Umbrella uniform. He fires at the other zombies the drop as well. He lowers his gun and walks to her, "You alright?" he asks her and she nods. "Yeah, I'm alright." she tells him, "That's good." he states as he looks around. "It's not safe here, lets hurry to the police station." he tells her, as he takes a step. "Why are you going to the station?" she asks him, he turns to her and shrugs.
"Hell if I know, but I was told that if I want to get out of this city, I need to help someone retrieve something there and I have no idea what." he answers her, Claire place her hand on her hip, "Not much to go on." she states and Jacob shrugs. "Don't have much of a choice, do I." he tells her and Claire thinks to herself. "Touche." she agrees and they started to walk. "By the way, I'm Claire Redfield." she introduce herself. The man looks at her, "Jacob Tate, nice to meet ya." he introduce himself. "Oh and here, you'll need these." he said and handed her a pack of bullets. "Thanks, these will come in handy." she states and places them away. "Come on, lets head to the police station." he tells her and they ran down the street, trying to get pass the zombies. "So why are you here?" she asks him, he sighs. "Umbrella sent me here to recuse survivors, that was 10 hours ago. And so I figured they left me here for dead." he answers her and she looks at him, "Ouch." she states and he fired at the zombies in front of them. "Yeah, I figure I won't be working for them anymore." he tells her, she nods as they ran to the bus.
Jacob opens the door and they walks onto the bus and Jacob picks up a pack, "More bullets he tells her, she nods at him and took them. Then she fires right at the zombies that were on the bus.
The got off from the front and ran to the police station "Here, the gate!" Jacob calls out and they quickly ran to the gate, opening it and shuts it right after as zombies started to pile at the gate, "Run?" Jacob asks, "Run." Claire agrees and they both spirited for the front of the station, "In, in, in, in, in." Jacob repeats and they both open the doors and quickly closes the door right behind them.

The two exhales as they were inside of the station and look around, "Oh wow, this place is huge." Jacob states, Claire nods. "Yeah, and if I have to guess, your friend and Leon should be here." Claire informs him, Jacob nods at her, "And whatever my friend is looking for is here as well." he tells her. "Yeah." Claire agrees.
"Lets checks out some of the rooms one by one, see if we can find anything that will help grasp the situation going on in this city" he states and she nods at him, "Sounds like a plan" she tells him, "And also keep an eye out for our friends, don't want to shoot one of them. They both took different ways, "Jacob." Claire calls out, he stops and looks at her, "Don't become a zombie." she tells him "Aw don't go falling for me gorgeous." he adds in with a chuckle. Claire shook her head as she rolls her eyes at him, he smirks "Oh come on, you know that was funny." he teases and walks off into a room. Claire smirks followed after him.
