Chapter 3
Keith and Jesse made a final weapons check before they left the diner to brave the zombie filled streets. Both of them had 6 full mags for both primary and secondary weapons after scrounging around in the back room of the Diner.
" Almost like that the citizens knew that the zombies were coming and they were making preparations, " Jesse said as he pocketed the extra clips he found for his handgun.
" Ya looks like. But there are 2 things I'm worried about right now. The first being getting both of our asses outta here and the second being hunting Trent down and getting some answers. " Keith said with a clear rage in his eyes. Checking their vests, they made sure they hade their anti-personnel grenades in a convient spot, should the need arise. Keith slowly opened the map he was given and examined where they would head after leaving the diner. There closest building would be the library which was northeast of their current position.
" Guess we head for the library and try to find a way to reach the next destination once we get their. Better to concentrate on getting place to place. " Jesse suggested, memorizing street names and landmarks that would make their journey that much easier. Keith nodded and moved towards the front door. He placed his hand on the knob and slowly turned it. He pulled the door open and was greeted by the site of a group of 3 zombies shambling in their directon. Jesse moved up beside Keith and scanned for another way to go.
" Damn. Gotta drop those three to keep going. "
Keith moved out from the door way and stepped ot the right side of the doorway with his back to the wall, allowing them both to have a clear shot at the small group that had noticed their appearance. Keith opened fire on the zombies that was closest to him.
BAM!
The zombies head burst in a spray of tissue and brain matter. Jesse opened fire on the remaining zombies.
BAM! BAM!
The last 2 zombies of the group with a rather gruesome burst of skull. The tension in the air lifted as the two mercs realized that they had survived their first encounter with the undead that would have put a flaw in their plans.
" OK. Right now we're on 64th street. Up ahead is Theros Avenue. We gotta head east on Theros then north on Montroy to get to the library. Let's get going before those shit holes smell us out or however the hell they find us, " Jesse explained, tightening his grip on his rifle as they started to jog down they not-so-quiet street. The sound of their feet slapping against the cold pavement was lost in the groaning and shuffling noises made by the zombies. Keith could see the sign that said that Montroy was the next intersection. Apparently Jesse saw the same sign. Both of the soldiers quickened their steps, knowing that they were getting closer to the library and, hopefully, temporary safety. As they rounded the corner, they stopped dead in their tracks. In the illumination of one of the street lights stood a huge, hulking, Tyrant-like monster. The monster still hadn't seen them so they were safe for a few precious moments. Keith focused his eyes and the street ahead, searching for a sign that they were close to the library. Keith couldn't believe his luck. Two buildings from where they were standing was the library.
" Jesse, two buildings, north. MOVE!!! " Keith shouted as he started into an all out sprint to the library. Jesse followed close behind. As they reached the doors, they saw the Tyrant start to advance towards. Keith pulled on the door handles with all the strength he could muster after the sprint. The hinges squeaked with age but they opened. They dove through the open doorway and rolled to their feet. Together they pulled a table and braced the door. They stepped back, rifles locked on the door if it the Tyrant broke through and waited.
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The two could only watch as a large claw ripped through the door and then retracted. They braced themselves to open fire but the Tyrant's attack ended. They were safe. For now.
Chapter 4
" Ok, now I have three questions for Trent. You know the first two, the other is WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?! " Keith shouted his anger and the library's halls echoed his booming voice.
" Man, if I knew I would tell you but I don't so our next best option is to search for anything useful then move up to the second floor and search through their too. We check our map, find our next short term hide out and kepp our asses alive. Sound good? " Jesse concluded as he peered out through the hole that the Tyrant had made to see if he could find any major thrats that could break through their rigged brace. Strangely enough, the Tyrant was nowhere to be seen and the zombies were clustered together.
" Jesse, c'mere. I think I found something. Take a look. It dated exactly three weeks ago.
January 5, 1998
They're everywhere! No matter where I look one of those creatures is after me. It all started when Umbrella set up those labs on the outskirts people have been turning into those goddamn things. The police have blockaded every road leading out of town saying that any civilians that haven't turned should report to the Police Station to form a militia. Fuck them. I holding out here. If anyone finds this, there's a stash of "goods" in the second floor reception room. Code to open the door is 3912. Good luck, though I doubt you'll get past the Lickers.

" That narrowed our search a little, wouldn't you say? " Jesse smiled as he took the paper and folded it so it would fit in his side pack along with his extra mags. Keith looked around for a staircase leading up but could find nothing but a coil of rope lying on the floor.
" Guess that's the only way up..." There was a faint tone as Keith finished his sentence and he saw an elevator door open with Jesse standing by the outer control area.
" Man, no offense, but look harder next time. " Jesse smiled again as Keith started to show signs o frustration. They entered the elevator and pressed the 2 key. The doors slid closed and started to rise. As the doors opened they coulds see the opened brained creatures that Victor had called "Lickers". Keith and Jesse moved to opposite ends of the elevator so they were shielded and analyzed the situation. There were three lickers in the hall they could see. One on the floor, one hanging from the roof and one crawling along the wall. Keith dropped the two on the ceiling and floor with two short burst from his M41 and Jesse dropped the licker on the wall with a double burst from his M41. They exited the elevator and cautiously moved down the hall. As they turned the corner, they saw 7 zombies munching on a body. They opened fire and the blood and tissue from the zombies splatterd grotesquely along the walls of the gray hall. They moved closer to examine the body once thay had dropped all of the undead and saw that his shirt read Victor.
" Poor bastard. Died on the way to his own stash. " Jesse said with a tone of humour. They moved up to the door to enter the 4 digit code into the electronic lock. The door opened enough so that you could enter. Keith entered first and sent a silent prayer to whatever God was helping them. On the table were two "clip" side packs which attached to a standard belt. But that wasn't the good part. Inside of the packs were 16 clips; 8 for the "M" series assault rifles and 8 9mm bullet clips used for all types of handguns. Jesse entered the room and dropped top a knee in thanks. He took a side pack for himself.
" Yo, Jesse, look at the far wall, " Keith said, motioning over to the lockers. They were 2 rusted lockers without locks that stood against the wall. They each opened one locker and saw the gleaming Colt Magnum revolvers. They each slung their M41's over their shoulders and hefted the Colts. They checked the top shelves and saw that there were 6 speed loaders for the Magnums. They stuffed their two remaining pockets with they speed loaders.
" Keith, someone waants us to get outta here. I say we go show those mother fucking undead bastards that they don't fuck with UBCS. " Jesse said with a rage that couldn't be matched. Keith snapped the chamber of his Colt.
" I think you're right. "
