Mercenaries
I had been walking for what seemed like hours when I stopped to rest in an empty parking lot. When I sat down my mind began to ponder what to do. I knew that if Jill has the blue gem then she would head to city hall. I was really hungry now. Suddenly I heard some rustling in the nearby trees. I got out my Glock and began moving toward the sound."Thunder" I shouted from 10 yards away.No answer.I cocked my weapon."Thunder or I will open fire" I cried from 5 yards away. Then I heard what I was waiting for.
"Flash". I immediately ran over to the voice. The man I found was not an RPD officer but was wearing a green uniform with the Umbrella logo on it."Don't shoot" he said."Who are you?","
Louie","do you work for Umbrella?","no". I hesitated, then I holstered my Glock and we walked together across the lot. Louie turned out to be a mercenary who was getting paid $10,000 to rescue civilians.
When I asked him what he was doing here he laughed and pointed to the building."Rations". When we entered the building I headed to the chocolate bars and picked out some food. Then we sat down and ate. I said good bye and turned to leave when I heard snapping fingers."What the fuck is that?" whispered Louie. I trained my shotgun toward the sound and I found out what was back there.
The monster jumped quickly and decapitated poor Louie. I screamed and fired a round into it's face. The blast knocked it to the ground, but it got back up and attacked again. I dodged a claw attack and blasted it again. The thing fell dead onto the counter. After I examined it for awhile I concluded that it was a Hunter. But this one was different from the one that Jill described to me. I left the grocery with renewed strength from the chocolate and renewed sadness from the death of Louie.
I heard gunfire off in the distance so I climbed a fire escape to get a better look. I then saw more mercenaries. They were gunning down zombies left and right. I guessed that there were about ten of them. I saw three of them working cooperatively. One was of south American blood, while the other two were both Russians. The mercenaries were doing so well that my mind gave a little spark of hope.
But the mercenaries were starting to lose the battle. Down on the ground I joined the fight with my trusty shotgun. I saw five zombies chasing down a wounded mercenary so I charged and blew the monsters apart with shotgun fire. The mercenary thanked me and limped off to find their medic. I continued to help the soldiers but there were to many zombies. I ran into an abandoned garage along with the three soldiers that survived the battle. As I heard gunfire and explosions coming from outside I asked the mercenaries their names.
"Carlos" piped up the southie."Mikhail" droned the younger Russian."Nicholai" scoffed the last guy. I told them that I was Josh Daniels of the RPD. I was just beginning to socialize when zombies crashed through the doors."Go" I yelled. The soldiers fled as I started decapitating zombies. The last zombie grabbed my leg but I smashed it's head open. I knew I didn't have much time so I climbed a staircase to the roof of the building.
I realized that this was the gas station right by City hall. I smiled and rested on the roof for awhile.
