Catching hold of a fire escape, Jessica's fall was briefly interrupted before her body weight pulled her hand from its grip and sent her plummeting to the ground. The brief grip on the fire escape meant Jessica didn't break all her bones and die writing on the floor. However this didn't mean that she got off scot free. Her head was bleeding from the back where it had struck the floor, her left arm was numb (which Jess knew was just the adrenaline stopping the brain from receiving pain signals, but that didn't mean they weren't there). Thankfully her feet and legs were undamaged, and her right hand was still capable of clutching her gun, which was now lying a few feet from her in the alley way. Up…up Jessica urged herself, and slowly her body responded, staggering to her feet, and though her head stung like a son of a bitch, she kept going. Grabbing her gun from the floor, Jessica looked back down the alley to see if her scream from the fall had attracted any unwanted infected, and was glad to see this alley only had one entrance, the other blocked by a fence. Through the fence, the scientist could see a trio of people stood around the doorway, and a man looking directly at her. Freezing, Jessica prepared herself to duck out of the way if he shot her, mistaking her for a zombie but he didn't. Distracted for a second, Jessica took her chance and ran away, turning the corner blindly and almost colliding with one of umbrella's undead citizens. The middle aged woman was decaying around the face, and had a few large chinks taken from her considerable midsection, which presumably transmitted the infection. The alleyway was small, so Jessica couldn't outmaneuver the creature, instead raising her gun and firing. However the scientist forgot that she was now firing one handed and the recoil was greatly increased. So instead of hitting the woman in the face the bullet sailed harmlessly over her head, not only allowing the woman to stagger towards Jessica but alerting every zombie in the near radius of her presence.

The undead woman grabbed at Jessica's left arm, squeezing tightly and causing the freshly injured limb to sear with pain, causing the young scientist to drop her gun, and her legs to give way. The woman's grip seemed to have taken all the adrenaline from her body, and Jessica was now in not only a terrible situation but in terrible pain. Dropping to her knees, Jessica used her right hand to hold the creatures neck, keeping the jaws away from her, and allowing her to get her bearing enough to kick the woman's shin, causing her to topple into the wall and release Jessica. Jumping up, the doctor dashed past the woman, hopping over her legs and racing out of the alley way. She was now in a street, and though she knew that taking main routes would be dangerous because they would be populated with many of umbrellas victims, she also knew she had spend too much time falling and getting stopped, and if she didn't keep moving Ares would catch up with her. And almost as if it could read her mind, the beast howled its twisted, grotesque cry that resounded whenever it reached near its target. It was coming from behind her, which meant that the creature had probably decimated the trio she had seen through the fence, and was now on its way to her. The small alley ways gave her more time as Ares would have to climb, but that wouldn't slow him down much he could scale buildings pretty quickly. Ares was one of the more human looking of Umbrella scientist's creations. It…he was like a stretched out human, abnormally long limbs, and neck with only above average body size. Standing still for a moment, Jessica was shocked from her thoughts by a hand gripping her calf. Stepping quickly forward, she pulled her foot from the now crawling creatures mouth and delivered a quick kick to its face before turning and running through the streets. She could see the undead everywhere, and even a large explosion sounding didn't shock her enough to turn her face away from the street. Though the undead in the street were surprisingly sparse, they were following two humans, one injured and the other dragging him. Dodging through the undead, Jessica almost turned into an alley, but stopped herself. The alleyway was blocked by rubble, and zombies littered the small section that wasn't covered in brick and scrap metal. Keeping running along the street, Jessica once more heard the unearthly cry of the creature, this time coming from almost directly above her. Looking up, she could see a large pink elbow on the top of the building. With the undead surrounding her, and worryingly getting closer, Ares couldn't smell her as well as usual, but he would pick up her scent in time, if these zombies didn't get her first. As a truck careened past, Jessica took her chance as three zombies were crushed and ran through the gap that made into another alley way.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" she screamed into the night as Ares once more cried, presumably still on the roof sniffing her out. Dodging past two walking and one crawling undead, Jessica reached the next street only to find a crowd of zombies surrounding j's bar, a place she used to frequent. As some charged inside, Jessica thought she saw people jumping from roof to roof, but was distracted when a car pulled up in front of her. It was a sports car, and the driver was hidden behind blacked out window. Now usually being a clever girl, Jess wouldn't get into a car whether a stranger asked her to or not, but Ares was behind her and there were zombies littering the street, so she had to get away. Opening the door, and sliding in, Jessica was almost flung from her seat as the car sped off, and turned a sharp corner. Looking over the driver, he looked like the type you'd expect to see in a car like this. He was wearing a suit, with no tie and his shirt open to the center of his chest. His dark hair was stylishly short and he wore sunglasses

"Thanks, those things would have…"Jessica began but she was cut off as the driver turned sharply around another corner, and then started his own thread of conversation

"What's your name?" he asked, and though she rarely lied, she answer with a simple

"Sarah…" because no matter how many monsters umbrella send after you, they'll eventually send people to back it up. After all Jessica held secrets that could take umbrella down.

"Well Sarah, how's about me and you go for a little ride?" he said, and instead of barking questions at her he said it playfully, and Jessica almost cracked a smile but her luck once again ran out, as the car shuddered to a halt…two blocks from where she started. Great!
