Tyler grabbed Rachelle's hand, and set off to the Umbrella building.
If there was one thing in his life that he was determined about, it was
getting to that Umbrella building, and trying to find someone who could
help. When he got back on the main streets, he noticed how badly the city
had succumbed to chaos. Everything was in shambles. Things were set on
fire, roadblocks had been knocked down, and there were police cars and fire
trucks all over with no policemen or firemen. They were all dead, of
course, just like most of the citizens of Raccoon City. Tyler was almost
sure that he knew there wouldn't be any survivors once they got into the
building. But, he just wanted some answers, now. Why the Hell had those
chose Raccoon City of all places to do this at? The people of Raccoon City
did not deserve this unholy punishment.
Rachelle also wondered why this was happening to the citizens of Raccoon City. Why would anyone want to hurt us? She thought to herself, as she and Tyler approached the huge, towering building. Apparently, the town had spent their precious time and money making this building. It had 17 stories to be exact, and the best (and most expensive) marble and granite that Tyler had ever seen. Tyler's mother had often bounced from job to job, and Tyler had seen his share of architecture… this was the most magnificent, prolific building that he had ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, everything was in ruins. Windows were broken, the granite and marble were smashed… it looked as though something had taken its toll on this building. Something, Tyler thought to himself, and not an act of nature…
It was easy to get into the building. The security guards were dead, and the doors were broken. Tyler had to ask himself what in the Hell had caused so much damage to this place. He secretly wondered if the Umbrella Corporation, among their other atrocities, were also responsible for creating some Godzilla-like creature, with the ability to destroy whatever came within it's deadly reaches. Tyler snorted at the idea. He noticed Rachelle out of the corner of his eye, looking into the building fearfully. He knelt down, looking her in the eyes. "Rachelle… everything's going to be alright. I won't let anything happen to you, okay?" All Rachelle did was nod. Tyler led her inside the broken doors, avoiding the glass and rubble on the ground. Everything was dark. The only thing that provided light was Rachelle's Minnie Mouse flashlight. Thank God for Disney, Tyler thought to himself. There were no monsters, yet. Tyler was thankful for that, and he was sure that Rachelle was, too.
Tyler looked around. To the left, there was a sign that said "Restrooms, Snack Machines, and Cafeteria". To the right, there was a stairwell. What to do, what to do. He hadn't eaten at all in a few days, which was not abnormal for him. Usually, he was too busy smoking to eat. Though, he was getting hungry. Rachelle looked a little bit tired, too. He headed off toward the snack machines.
"Okay, Rachelle. If you have to go to the bathroom, go ahead. I'm going to get us something to eat." With that, Rachelle headed towards the women's bathroom. Tyler watched Rachelle walk on, and went to the snack machines. There was no sign of monsters anywhere, until he heard a lurching noise, and a guttural growl. He looked behind him just in time to see a decaying, dead security card reaching out to scratch him. Tyler cocked his shotgun, and blasted a round into the guard's head. The guard twitched for a few moments, then finally lay limp. Tyler distanced himself from the snack machine, and kicked in the glass. Of all the things the monsters could have broken, they didn't break the snack machine. Of course, he thought to himself. They were only interested in eating humans, not Snickers and stale potato chips. Tyler grabbed a few candy bars for himself and Rachelle. Suddenly, he heard a loud scream. Just as Tyler had feared, it had come from the bathroom.
