"Beautiful..." The word seemed to slide of the lips of Vince as he watched the bus swerve and tilt. It crashed on it's side and slid for ten feet with a loud metal SCREECH! Everything was quiet for awhile as he looked at the bus.

Vince looked through his scope on his assault rifle. He scoped the bus for signs of movement and saw the driver move some. A smile crept on his face as he took aim at his leg and fired a shot.

The shot was clean, but the driver must have been so out of it he didn't notice the wound. He would soon enough when he came to.

"Movement..." Mark said he looked through his scope.

Vince saw more people move around and then saw the soldiers.

"AHH!! GOD IT HURTS!!" The distant voice of the driver screamed in pain. Vince scoped him and saw another soldier rush toward him. His scope found a boy that pulled another to his feet. His finger tensed on the trigger.

"Undead, about sixty meters from the bus sir." Dorian said looking down the road.

Vince's attention shot down the road and there was a mass of them. They were headed right at the bus, right at their objective. Vince's mind tried to think of the possibilities. He didn't want to shoot them and let the zombies get them, but what could they do? Vince scoped them out again and saw one soldier eye him and slide back in the bus.

"Shit..." Vince said as he looked. He scoped again and saw that they realized the mass of undead were headed for them.

"What are you going to do?" Vince thought as he saw them organize. He heard the sounds of orders and a 'Woo Rah'. A bigger man stepped out of the bus and aimed at the zombies.

"What the hell?" Vince said out loud as he watched.

The man fired into the crowd. The zombies dropped like rag dolls to the ground as the bullets tore through them. These soldiers were armed to the teeth with some serious fire power.

Vince watched as the group battled toward the zombies from the bus. He was surprised at this action and couldn't believe that they would charge head on into death itself.

"Sir, should we take any action?" Craig's voice said over the com to him.

Vince watched as the point man with the M60 split the crowd in half. "No, we wait. Regroup in the building that I am on and we contact the S.A.S." Vince would leave the rest of his job on the hands of the S.A.S. And then get the hell out of Raccoon City.

"Roger that."

They were moving through the crowd with ease until the front fire stopped. The soldiers fire was that of pro marksmen. Zombies dropped all around, left and right. Vince called out the orders that a commander would call out and he was precise on how the soldiers moved, but was amazed that a commander could call those orders in a hectic situation as that one. But no matter what orders you give it was hopeless for them. They didn't have enough firepower to cover all angles and the front runner was still loading his gun. He was awfully slow or had technical problems.

The situation was falling into shit by the second. It seemed as they all would become the feast of hundreds of undead. The zombies closed around the group and Vince watched in amazement as one of the soldiers sacrificed himself to the undead to save everyone. The zombies turned to their new prey and followed while a few stayed.

"What a soldier..." Vince said as he watched him push through the crowd. Suddenly he fell and didn't come back up. Vince knew that was the last of him and turned back to the group. Three people chased after the soldier.

"Fools...He did it so you could live...run..."

The soldiers moved away with a civilian and cut into an ally. Vince took his eyes off the streets and looked at Dorian who was smoking a cigarette.

"The soldiers made it out. Three of them."

Dorian looked at him. "Odd number."

"One threw himself at the zombies to save everyone."

"Damn..." Dorian said as he blew out the smoke.

"Leath, hold the first floor of this building and radio us if there are any problems."

"Roger."

Vince knew that he was close to home, the S.A.S. Just had to pull through.
