"Leon! Get down!" Paige was aiming at a zombie directly behind Leon. Instantly Leon rolled away and Paige pulled the trigger on her pistol three times. The spray of bullets zoomed trough the zombie's head causing it to fall backward on the ground. "Nice headshot!" Leon gave Paige a thumbs up and smiled. "Glad you're here!" Paige smiled a little at his last comment. "Thanks for that," she turned to dispatch the zombie behind her. "But we have no time for rest, let's finish this!" Leon turned to kick a zombie in the face when another came up behind him and yanked him to the ground. It tried to claw at his face and snapped at his forearm. "Hey, I could use a hand!" he yelled looking over to Paige who was also busy with her own problems. As Paige knocked over yet another zombie, she turned toward Leon's shouting and instantly kicked into overdrive-ignoring the rest of the zombies surrounding her- to get to him. When she reached him, she put all of her strength into the kick that sent the zombie on top of Leon flying through the air. She soared after the zombie and straddled it when it hit the ground. Smirking, she rested her pistol on its forehead and pulled the trigger. After jumping up off the zombie, she wiped the brain matter from her face and turned to help Leon up off the ground. "Are you alright?" her eyes were gentle as she pulled him up. Leon dusted himself off and chuckled nervously. "Did I ever mention how glad I am that you're here?" Paige smiled as she tightened her grip on his arm. "I'm glad you're safe."

The two quickly reloaded their guns and continued on down the road before them. For what seemed like hours, they came across nothing. No zombies, no survivors, no military personnel. "Not to complain or jinx us or anything," Paige began quietly. "But I have a bad feeling about not seeing or hearing anything for such a long time." Leon nodded in reply and sighed. "I think you're right. Someone probably has something in store for us." Paige heightened her senses to their greatest potential and came to a complete stop. Leon hadn't noticed until he almost ran into her. "What's wrong?" The only response he received from her was a hand in his face and a shake of her head. Although vague, Leon understood the gestures and crouched down beside her, staring down the street. After a few minutes of silence, Paige grabbed Leon's jacket collar, yanked him to his feet, and began to climb a pile of wreckage to reach a building roof. Leon didn't question her action and simply followed her lead. When she got down on her stomach and pulled out her sniper rifle, Leon got down next to her and tried to find what caused this reaction from her. Suddenly a giant mutated creature crashed through the wrecked cars and began searching the area frantically. "He knows we're close," Leon whispered lowly as Paige raised her rifle and rested it on the edge of the building. Instantly after she looked through her scope, their offender had a bullet through his right eye.

Together, Leon and Paige grabbed their dual pistols, linked arms, and jumped from the roof. When they hit the ground, they rolled in opposite directions and took off running. The creature could have easily been over 8 feet tall. The flesh that once clung to its bones slowly dripped off and hit the ground. Its face was distorted, its jaw hanging sideways and its eyes were blood red, each a different size. "Leon!" Paige began yelling from her side. "Grenades, NOW!" Her voice pierced through the painful cries from the creature. Paige tried fumbling through her supplies looking for some sort of grenade when she finally managed to pull out an incendiary one. Before she could pull the pin out, however, the creature screeched in an insanely high pitch. Paige dropped her grenade, covered her ears, and then dropped to her knees screaming in pain. She struggled to recover but was never allowed the privilege. The creature seized her by her waist and began to sling her back and forth. Trying to catch her breath, Paige yelled for Leon, who had been unloading anything he could into the monster. When his ammo was used up, he quickly looked around for something else to help him save his partner. Near the monster's feet was a flipped car that must have been in a tragic accident recently due to the fire that slightly engulfed it. Swiftly Leon ran through the fire and climbed up the car jumping off the edge and landing onto the monster's shoulders. He swung around to the front of the creature's face and slammed his knee into its remaining eye, crushing the eye and rendering the monster completely blind. The monster began to stumble heavily and released Paige, who had been still for quite a while. Leon back flipped off the monster and dashed to catch her. She landed breathlessly into his arms. He took her over to a dark alley and carefully sat her down. He then tried gently to get her to wake up but when she didn't, he brushed her short bronze hair from her face, kissed her forehead lightly and charged back over to the monster. The enraged monster was thrashing and screaming trying to frantically locate the two pests in his way. To dodge its frantic movements, Leon slid between the monster's legs as he pulled out his shotgun. While on his back, he aimed his gun at the creature's knees and fired as rapidly as his shotgun would allow. As the bones began to break, loud cracks resonated through the air until they were completely shattered. Without legs to hold it up, the creature fell forward towards the ground giving Leon only mere seconds to scramble out of the way. As the monster hit the ground, it yelled out in pain. Leon scoffed and walked up to its face with his shotgun fully loaded. "Have fun in hell," he quietly commented as he fired his gun twice between the creature's eyes. Its head exploded spewing blood and brain matter everywhere, including on Leon. "Shit!" Leon tried to shake off the gore that seemed to cover him from head to toe before he returned to Paige's side.

Leon swung his shotgun onto his back and let it hang there as he crouched down next to Paige, who was still unconscious. "Paige?" he rested his hand on her shoulder and shook her gently. "Can you hear me?" Paige groaned slightly but didn't open her eyes. Leon sighed sadly. "I hope it's nothing serious," he thought as he began to scan the area. "We gotta move," The Street was void of any movement and was completely silent. Leon was grateful for the break. He turned back to Paige and carefully scooped her up into his arms. Leon walked briskly through the deserted streets looking for a secure building they could recoup in. As he walked through a narrow alley up to a rather small building, a sizable group of zombies began running towards him. "You gotta be kidding me!" he quickly shifted Paige in his arms to where he could properly wield his magnum. He raised his gun and aimed toward his offenders. The closest zombie was a young woman, when she was alive, and was missing her left cheek and right arm. Blood and saliva dripped from her mouth as she chomped at Leon every now and then. Leon wasted no time in sending a bullet through her skull. The zombie then dropped to the ground and another took its place. To get a better foothold on the situation, Leon dropped to his knee as sat Paige down in front of him, allowing her to lean against his chest. In rapid succession, he was then able to efficiently dispose of each zombie that showed up. They each fell to the ground, some of them even tripping over the dead bodies in front of them before they fell. Leon, concluding that the threat was completely gone for now, reloaded his gun and re-holstered it. Afterward, he once again gently scooped Paige up and entered the small building.
