Resident Evil: Shattered City

Chapter 2

Michael came to the intersection of Ash and Bybee, and had just begun to cross when he felt the cold steel of a rifle at his neck.

"Don't move." The soldier behind the rifle said.

Michael turned and faced the nervous UBCS Merc. An uncaring look in his eyes.

"You gonna shoot a kid?" He said simply.

The UBCS Soldier faltered for a split-second before his training took over, he kept his M4 on the kid and called out.

"Hey Sarge, SARGE! Yo! Cryan!" He yelled out across the street.

"What?!" An irritated voice called out from a position Michael couldn't see.

"I got a live one here, kid, armed, come check it out!" The soldier yelled, dropping the M4 to his waist.

The 'Sergeant' Appeared from behind a building, cursing at his soldiers stupidity. He stomped up and looked Michael up and down once, then reached for the Desert Eagle in his waistband.

Michael moved quick as lightning, his arm extended and smacked the Sergeant's hand away, and he leaped back into a defensive stance.

"Shoot me if you want, but you're not taking my gun from me while I'm still breathing." Michael said, his voice like ice.

"Right then." The Sergeant said, righting himself, his slightly Italian accent showing through.

"What do we do with 'im sarge?" The Soldier said, his finger twitching over the trigger of the M4

The sergeant thought for a moment, then suggested cuffing the kid and bringing him with the group, prompting a sturdy "Fuck You." From Michael.

"Watch your mouth kid, you got a pretty big rifle aimed at you." The soldier warned, bringing his weapon up slightly.

"A Colt M4A1 5.56mm Carbine rifle can hardly be called 'big.'" Michael retorted. "You mouthy little.." The soldier said, bringing his hand up to hit Michael.

Suddenly, the door next to them exploded outward and 5 zombies poured onto the street, immediately zeroing in on the soldier as the Sergeant leaped back, Michael put a hand over his sword and ran across the street and disappeared around the side of a building before the Sergeant could react. Leaving the surprised UBCS to fend for themselves.
