Prologue
Latham Weekly, 2nd June 1998
BIZARRE MURDERS IN RACCOON CITY
Raccoon City – The mutilated body of forty-two-year-old Anna Mitaki was discovered late yesterday in an abandoned lot, not far from her home in North-west Raccoon City, making her the fourth victim of the so called 'cannibal killers' who have once more struck in the same region of the city. Consistent with coroner reports of the previous victims, Mitaki's corpse showed signs of being partially eaten, the bite patterns apparently formed by human jaws.
Shortly after the discovery of Miss Mitaki by two joggers at roughly nine o'clock last night, RPD Chief Liam Silvers released a statement claimed that 'the RPD is working diligently around the clock to apprehend the perpetrators of such heinous crimes'. He also made requests to city hall and various officials to offer more drastic protections to the city for the good of Raccoon citizens.
In addition to these attacks there have also been unsubstantiated reports of vicious animal attacks in the forests around Raccoon City, again focused in the North-west of the city, bringing the total death toll up to seven if true.

HORROR IN RACCOON!
MORE VICTIMS DEAD
The bodies of a young couple were found early Sunday morning making Deanne Rusch and Christopher Smith the eighth and ninth victims of the reign of violence that has gripped the city since late May this year.
Both victims, aged 19, were reported as missing by concerned parents on Saturday evening and were found early Sunday morning by police, once more located in the North-west of the city. Although no official reports or statements have been issued, eyewitness reports remark that the victims had the same type of wounds as previous victims. This has caused much concern and buzz amongst the citizens leading to statements being made and concerns about the North-west of Raccoon City has become the hotspot of this violent outbreak of murders.
In a statement released by Mayor Ramirez, city officials are introducing a strict curfew and looking to increase police presence in the North-west of the city, with the speculation that their specialised S.T.A.R.S. Unit will get involved.
Seated in the back of the unremarkable black car, the lone figure read both cut out headline clippings from two of the bigger local newspapers are the car took him to the RPD Station. He had a mission to accomplish and this certainly gave him some more background about it. He was ready for this, it was time to begin.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
