Jill, Barry and Rebecca looked round the streets in a distressed silence, several zombies had seen them and started to lurch forward, Barry was the first to speck. "OK, we have got to get out of here without being eaten!" He said and the others nodded "we haven't enough ammo to kill any more than about three of these bastards; I vote we avoid most of them." The others agreed and they quickly ran past the approaching corpses and stopped behind a house, about five other zombies were just ahead but they hadn't seen them yet. "Right, here's what we're going to do" Barry started to explain "we need to avoid those zombies and go left and the crossroads up ahead and carry straight on up." They stood still and watched the zombies carefully, they looked like they had been punks as the one was wearing a leather jacket and had spiky hair…that looked pretty spooky with rotting flesh. "When I say so run for it" Barry whispered and the women nodded. Barry waited until the zombies had their attention fixed on something else; in this case it was a trash can. "Ok…NOW!" Barry shouted and they sprinted past the confused zombies and left at the crossroads. They paused to catch their breath and listened to the sound of inhuman groans coming from all sides, a hideously rotted zombie who smelt of alcohol started to crawl on his knees toward them. "Ignore him, we can easily outrun him" Barry said and they jogged away from the slow zombie and up the long street, when they had lost most of the zombies Barry paused again. Rebecca shifted her feet and decided to ask a question that had been bugging her for ages "How is Umbrella involved in all this? I know Snapdragon mentioned something but I didn't understand."

"Apparently from what Snapdragon said to me before we met you and probably while Barry was down with that snake thing was that her mother had met someone from Umbrella and had an affair with him. After a while her mother got interested in the work they were doing and asked him to tell her how to create the G virus which he did, she injected herself while pregnant with Snapdragon and that really explains it…then she killed the guy." Jill leant against the wall after explaining, she hoped that was the truth but she couldn't be sure, that was what Snapdragon had told her anyway. Barry nodded "That's one thing I can believe…I just wish I'd trusted that kid a bit more"

"Well it did look suspicious when those statues started to attack" Rebecca said "I guess we were wrong about her though"

"Let's not stand here talking! We need to get out!" Jill snapped and Barry agreed.

"She's right, we turn right up here and head in the direction of the police station, then go left and we should be near getting out." They ran off again and turned right where Barry said and stopped when they heard a deep growling; Rebecca turned and saw two monster dogs walking carefully toward them with foam dripping from their lips. Barry and Jill took aim and fired hitting both the dogs in the head and with a yelp they both fell down dead. Jill walked toward an iron gate and noticed a zombie sat by it; it looked dead so she went over to look through its pockets. It groaned and opened its eyes, dead and glassy; it reached out and grabbed her arm getting ready to bite her. Jill squealed and aimed a kick at the zombies head, knocking it off, when it was really dead she went through the pockets and pulled out two ammo clips. "Don't do that again, Jill" Barry sighed "that was the silliest thing I've seen you do…"

"Well it looked dead and it had a hole in its skull and that usually means its dead"

"Maybe it banged it; zombies aren't easy to kill unless you knock their heads off or get them in the brain." Jill just shrugged and opened the get leading up a small alley with herbs lining the walls. Rebecca stopped "Wait! Let me take some of these incase we get injured, these green ones are supposed to be really good on injuries." The others waited until she had picked up a few of the herbs and then went off again, the came out of another gate and into the main street, a fire hydrant had burst and water flooded part of the street. "We can walk though this" Barry said after looking at it for a while "and we'd better hurry too" several zombies had spotted them and were dragging their limbs toward them. They ran through the water and came to another crossroad, left led to the police station were a bunch of undead cops waited outside and right led down a small alley. They turned right like Barry had told them and shot a zombie that was blocking their path and turned left until they reached the end of the city. "I can't believe we're nearly out!" Rebecca gasped "another nightmare is finally almost over!" Barry nodded and together they ran out of the city until they had left it quite far behind. "Now what do we do?" Jill said looking back at the city

"I guess we hitch hike if we can find anybody and get back home…I can finally see my family again" he said with a smile.

"I can't wait to see Carlos again…he's always so full of himself" Jill grinned "what about you Rebecca?"
"Well there's a guy I've been seeing lately…" Rebecca said turning red and Jill laughed

"OK I won't ask anymore" she said and they walked off up the side of the road "I just hope we find someone soon!"

"I sure we will" Barry said and yawned "I'm sure we will…"
