Brian, Julie, and Jill began banging on the Raccoon City Police Department
doors, yelling for help. There was some shuffling around inside and the
doors opened. Two men and three woman were in there, sitting around a
makeshift fireplace, wrapped in blankets. "Oh God!" Jill cried, "There are
others!"
Brian quickly pushed Jill and Julie inside and closed the door, helping the man secure it shut behind them. Brian sighed and slumped onto the ground, pressing himself against the double doors as hard as he could.
"Is there something out there?" the much older man asked, shakily.
"Yes, it's a big monster. Bigger than all of them," Julie said, tears in her eyes.
A woman behind them stood up and dropped the blanket to her feet. "Julie.. is that you?"
Julie spun around at the voice and cried out, "Aunt Clara!"
She ran toward her aunt and she swept her up in her arms. They embraced in a long, emotional hug. Jill sat down beside Brian and smiled. "She's found someone."
"Yeah...," he said, sighing heavily. They all found someone.
No one seemed to have much energy anymore, they'd probably all been awake for days. Brian looked around, studying the people's faces. The man who had helped him shut the door was in his mid-50's probably, he looked tired and worn out, and hadn't shaved in days. He looked like a man with nothing left, but was willing to help anyway.
Next to him was a man much younger. He was watching Julie and her aunt and Brian could see the joy in his eyes. The young man walked over to the women and sat down next to one of them and put his arm around her shoulder. Brian smiled.
Beside the couple sat a woman, looking alone and scared. She wasn't aware of what was going on around her, she just stared into the fire as if thinking about her entire life and why she was here today. Then Brian turned to Jill and she had her eyes closed. Her head went limp and fell onto his shoulder. He brushed the hair away from her eyes and drifted off. They were all capable people... they could make it out of this alive together.
