Operative: Melody Jones

INCOMING FROM TANYA

"You finally made it to streets. Cassie is still waiting for you in the chopper for evac on the roof of a parking lot a half a mile from your current position. Get there and you're home free."

"N.Y.P.D has gotten reports of a gunfire between you and the agency security and has sent several S.W.A.T teams in the area. They believe you're a wanted terrorist responsible for the D.C. subway incident and will fire at you on sight. Avoid contact if possible, but lend assistance if necessary."

"Cassie, I made it to the streets. (Breathing hard)"

"Are you ok?"

"I need a vacation."

"Can't rest yet. The city has an army of S.W.A.T teams heading your way. Looks like the Agency is going to war! Give me your location. I'm picking you up.'

"Negative."

"God damn it, Melody! Your face is plastered on the wall of every police precinct in the country, remember? You're a wanted terrorist. These cops will shoot first and ask questions later."

"Don't worry about the S.W.A.T guys. I'll stay out of their way. I ran into a hostage in the labs and gave him your location. Stay there and watch out for him. He might still make it."

"Alright, I hear you."

"Yeah, that's what you said at the Expo Center."

"Hey, I listened, just don't always do what you say."

"Sure, Cassie."

Knowing that the S.W.A.T teams are coming, Melody headed to the chopper. It doesn't help that it's raining outside. She fought guys in suits, armed with Glock 18cs and MP5ks. She ran into the streets and as she makes her past a pawn shop, two black vans blocked her path.

"Cassie, the Agency is shutting down the streets everywhere! See if you can find an open route for me."

"Copy that."

She entered a pawn shop and fought the S.W.A.T members. She went outside and climbed to the rooftop nearby.

"Melody, I'm picking up S.W.A.T radio traffic. There are officers pinned down by sniper fire."

"I'll see what I can do."

Melody jumped down from a motel and saw a police officer running by. As she followed him, an explosion from the right blew another officer away and landed right in front of her. They were armed with M16s. The officer she was following was shot dead as well by a sniper. She took a different route and entered a laundromat

"Careful, Melody. This old flea trap will crumble in any minute."

Melody continued onward.

"Cassie, I can't get to the snipers. Check the building codes and see if there's a fire suppression system."

"The activation system is nearby. Hope it still works."

She moved on but fell through the crumbling floor. It led her to a sprinkle system control switch.

"Found it. How's the S.W.A.T team holding up?"

"You're coming under heavy fire."

"Story of my life."

She got into another corridor and it looks like some kind of apartment complex where the snipers were located. She climbed up the stairs..

"Freeze!" She got stopped by a officer. "I've got the terrorist. I need backup..."

The officer was killed unexpectedly by the guards. She took them out. She then managed to kill the last sniper. She got out of the complex and went into a alleyway.

"Melody, I'm receiving a distress signal for a downed officer. Her partner is trapped."

"I'm moving."

Melody now must search for the downed officer.

"Stop!" Another officer. "Throw your weapons down and put your hands behind your head!"

Melody sighed, until a black can ran him down and crashed into a wall.

"So much for law enforcement."

She entered a building until she the female officer requesting backup.

"Who are you?"

"Never mind that. Give me a sit rep."

"My partner's been down in that building. Two snipers in the courtyard sealed off and I can't get in."

"Ok, you advance and I'll cover you. I'll stay back and get a clean shot at him. Move quickly. I'll lay down some suppressing fire.

Melody aimed her Beretta and managed to take the snipers out. She and the officer entered.

"Chris, can you hear me? Backup's on the way."

"Damn snipers..."

"I need to get moving," Melody said.

"I can't allow you to leave. Drop your weapons and place your hands behind your head."

"Lady, I got stopped twice and both officers die in front of me by stupid assholes with sunglasses. I don't have time for this bullshit!"

"Wait, you're Melody Jones."

"Yea, what's it to you?"

"Jill Valentine of the BSAA."

"Hold up, you know Sheva Alomar?"

"No, but he does."

"Sir, are you ok?"

"I'll manage. How do you know Sheva?'

"She's my partner. She's holding up in Virginia. She's been infected with the Syphon Filter virus."

"We've been investigating this virus for weeks. How is she holding up?"

"Stable, at least for now. I gave her vaccine, which is why i must be going."

"We're going with you."

"We? Jill, I've been shot."

"Chris, don't be a pussy. You've had worse. Where are you heading?"

"There's a chopper near here. My other partner, Cassie is waiting for me."

"Alright, let's move."

Melody and her new allies, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, main protagonists of Resident Evil, fought their way towards the chopper.

"Cassie, I just took out the last sniper and I'm heading you now. Any sign of Chance?"

"No."

"They must have finished him in the labs. Be there soon. Chance, I'm sorry..."

"Jones!"

"Stevens!"

Stevens held another female officer with his gun to her head.

"Drop your gun. You don't want to see another innocent die, do you?"

Suddenly, the officer took down Stevens by kneeing him in this chest and ran to Melody. Suddenly, an explosion rocked the ground above them...
