The courtyard was a dark desolate place. We were all determined, though, to
see the Residence. Dogs seemed to be patrolling every corner of this god-
awful place. One jumped the bushes and tackled me to the ground. A dagger
to the throat got it off me, but it was just enough for it to run of
whimpering. Several undead crows were roosting above us on the tree
branches above us. I found this odd because crows never ever fly in flocks
but there seemed to be a flock or two above us now. Sneaking through their
area quietly didn't even arouse a squawk. In a strange graveyard area a
puzzle was aroused. It took the form of a large box. Several switches were
on the box in a chronological order. We tried several ways and patterns in
pressing the switches. Finally it opened to reveal its spoils. A chain gun
lies in the box. David picked it up and got a glazed look on his face. We
all agreed the chain gun would be his. He was continuously shooting crows
out of the air. We warned him against because it was a waste of ammo. Two
zombies stood at the end of the walkway, or wait, were they zombies? They
couldn't be they were talking. "What are they?" Amanda whispered. I took
out binoculars to get a closer look. It was Arin talking to someone, or
something else. David was about to rip out of the underbrush at the traitor
but I stopped him. "David, don't. We have two options now. 1) Barge in and
shoot Arin and whatever that thing is with him, keep in mind we don't know
what it is. 2) Stay here and listen to what he says to it, we keep our
lives and our sanity." He stopped and pondered this. "Okay," he said. We
listened in and heard Arin's words to the "thing"
"I want all of them dead," Arin said. "Yes master," the creature responded. "Remember who your master is, Mary, I made you sentient, you have a brain power although you were turned into a zombie, your sister Kim was not as fortunate and she met the fate of those people's gun I stole. That magnum sure packs a punch. Here you take it to assist you in killing them," Arin finished and walked off. "Oh my God," I whispered. This couldn't be happening, no way. A stupid zombie is dangerous; a smart one is not possible. We could not possibly contend with something of this sort. And if Arin planned on mass-producing these things, then Raccoon City, perhaps the world, was doomed. "Arin can't deal with these things I am sure," Tim said. "Why couldn't it?" I asked. "Well think about it," Tim continued, " that thing there is as least as smart as a normal human being, it's as cannibalistic as the others, and no one could seem to control the stupid ones." Everyone nodded his or her heads in agreement. He was very true of course. Arin might have been able to control this one but an army? It was doubtful. Then something else hit me. "Mary. Kim." I muttered under my breath. Everyone looked at me wondering what I had said. I answered without even being asked. " Mary and Kim those were General Reynolds' daughters. I wonder how all this is connected." Everyone found this thought quite interesting, so we sat to think about it.
"Perhaps Reynolds put his own daughters through this on purpose," Tim offered. "No, why would he lie to his own diary," I said, " To cover his tracks. Lets put it this way he perhaps knew he was dead, and he offered his tow daughters to the leading scientist. He wrote those thoughts in his diary because perhaps someone read his diary regularly, or maybe he was wanted to warn people without making himself look like a horrible parent," said Ele. This idea was quite possible. Very possible actually. At this point we heard an insane sniffing noise. I peeked over the bush and say Mary's form looking for us. We had to lie low and locate this residence. A 3-story building was visible from our current position. We would have to make a break for it. We started running but got Mary on our tail. She was almost as fast as a hunter. We slammed the door to the Residence and turned around to our horror.....
