Leon stepped off a bus and sighed. "Thanks for the lift!" he said, looking back at the half-eaten dead man at the wheel of the crashed bus. There'd been flaming cars everywhere, so he'd been forced to go through the crashed bus.
He looked around and sighed. There were more zombies, more flaming cars, and a fence. Great, he thought. Then he looked again. "A fence!? Sweet!" he ran over to it, seeing the RPD building on the other side. "I hope I beat Claire here...if she's still alive, that is," he said. He went through the gate and headed to the building.
"Well, it took a lot of work, but I'm finally at work. Hello? Anyone here?" he called out.
Nobody answered.
"I'm new here, and I have no idea where anything is!" he said again.
Still, no answer.
"HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOO!?" he called louder this time.
Finally, a door opened and someone poked their head over the balcony on the second floor. "Dude, shut up!" she said.
"Oh good, someone's here! Can you show me around? I'm supposed to meet someone here and kind of want to act like I know the place, you know?" he asked.
The girl shook her head. "Worst cop ever," she said.
Leon paused. "Claire? Is that you?" he asked.
"...No," said Claire.
"IT IS! What the hell? How did you get here so fast?" he asked.
Claire walked down towards the ladder and hit a button to make it lower electronically. "I've been here for about ten minutes..." she said.
Leon stepped down the small stairs at the entrance and walked towards the ladder. He watched her climb down and couldn't hold back a grin. "Careful now, wouldn't wanna fall on your ass," he said.
"Shut up, Leon," said Claire. She hopped off to skip the last two steps and turned. She had a somewhat concerned look on her face."It's pretty bad out there..." she said.
Leon wanted to keep messing with her, but he simply nodded. "Yeah...wonder what happened. I hope there's someone in here that can help," he said.
Claire rolled her eyes. "No, Leon, the entire city is infested with zombies and there isn't even ONE person left alive," she said sarcastically.
"Okay, that attitude isn't gonna get us anywhere," said Leon.
"What do you mean 'us'? I'm going my own way," she said.
Leon folded his arms and leaned on the counter behind him. "Oh yeah? And where are you going, if I may ask?" he asked.
"To my brother's office," she said.
"And where is that, exactly?"
Claire sighed. "I'm not telling you that, you'll just follow me. Why don't you just go and...I don't know, do something normal cops do? I'm sure you can find someone else to bother around here," she said. She turned back and started climbing up the ladder.
Leon watched her go and grinned. Be seeing you soon, he thought. He headed back towards the main door and tried the one next to it. It was locked.
So he went to the one across from that one, but it was locked as well. "What the hell? Who locks doors in a police station?" he asked.
He went across the room and tried another door, which he was glad to find was unlocked. He got in and looked around, seeing a bunch of party supplies out. "Did I miss something?" he asked.
"Only the best party ever," said a man on the floor.
Leon turned to see if he knew him. Of course, he didn't. "Hey, who are you?" he asked.
"My name's Marvin...I was supposed to be your trainer..." said Marvin.
"Supposed to be? You mean you won't be anymore?" asked Leon.
"I can't, bro...Zombies took over everything, and there's...no more to the city..." said Marvin.
"I highly doubt that," said Leon.
"It's true, man, you'll see...Uhh...This hurts so much..."
"What happened?"
"A zombie bit me. It hurts," said Marvin.
"Yeah, you said that. Do you need anything? Can you get up?" asked Leon.
"No...point...I'm dying soon...And also kinda wasted, we were planning...a party for you but you're so...late so we started...But then everyone changed...and I took all the vodka..." said Marvin.
Leon sighed and stood straight. "Did you ever consider that maybe the zombie bite isn't killing you, but the alcohol is?" he asked.
"No way...zombie bite is...changing me..." said Marvin.
"Into what?" asked Leon.
"...Zombie..."
"Oh. Are you sure?"
"...Yeah."
"Alright then, I should get going. Claire should know about this," said Leon.
"Claire?...Who's that?" asked Marvin.
Leon shrugged. "Just this crazy chick I ran into, she's somewhere in here," he said.
"Is she hot?"
After thinking for a moment, Leon grinned. "Kinda, yeah," he said. "If you dig the whole 'obsessed with her brother' deal."
Marvin shifted painfully, holding his sides. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"She's looking for her brother, he works here too," said Leon. He thought about Claire running around with no idea as to where he could be, and sighed. "I guess it's worth asking, but do you know a cop here named Chris Redfield?" he asked.
Marvin blinked. "Yeah...Chris...He's not here. He left with the rest of the S.T.A.R.S. to investigate...a forest. They came back...but shit went down, and now...now he's gone with Barry and Jill...somewhere..." he said. He started to stand.
Leon held his hands out. "Whoa whoa...maybe you should stay down," he said.
Marvin shook his head and pulled out a key card. "No way...I've seen Redfield's sister...Gonna go find her...and say hi..." he said.
Leon reached out and grabbed the card. "Sorry bro, but I don't think she'll be interested in you. You're bleeding out, and that's kind of repulsive," he said. Before Marvin could react, Leon left the room and ran out into the lobby. He saw a computer, and grinned. Doesn't take a genius, he thought. He went over to the computer and used the key card, a smile forming on his face when he heard the sound of doors unlocking. "Damn electronics," he said.
