~~The teams split up. Jill and Stephen head for the gas station. Jill and Stephen walk for about ten minutes making their way to uptown Raccoon City. The make it to a diner/gas station. There are dead zombies all over the place. Stephen covers his nose and mouth with his shirt.
STEPHEN: This place smells like shit.
JILL: Let's just get the fuel and go.
STEPHEN: Well we need something to put it in. I'll go over here and look for some kind of container.
~~Stephen walks toward the backside of the diner.
JILL: Be careful.
~~Stephen makes his way around the building and begins sifting through discarded junk from the dinner.
~~Back in the front of the building, Jill stands patrolling to make sure there is no surprise attack.
**...RRR...
~~The all too familiar sound rings in her ears. She calls for Stephen.
JILL: STEPHEN HURRY! THAT THING IS COMING!
~~Stephen is too far behind the building to hear her.
**...AARRR...
JILL: (screaming) STEPHEN LET'S GO NOW!
**...AARRR...
JILL: (to herself) Where is it coming from?
~~Jill looks around in panic trying desperately to pinpoint where the sound is coming from. Then she sees it.
**SSTAARRRSS!!!
~~The monster appears on the roof of the diner.
JILL: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
~~ Jill runs into the diner intending to go through a backdoor to get Stephen. But the monster brakes through the ceiling and lands right in front of back door.
JILL: FUCK!!!
~~She turns and runs back out the front door. By now Stephen has found a container for the fuel. He also heard the crash in the diner, so he is already in the front when Jill gets back outside.
JILL: Get the fuel! Hurry!
~~Stephan can see the monster slowly approaching them from inside the diner.
JILL: Come on, come on hurry up!
STEPHEN: I'm going as fast as I can!
~~A loud crash comes from the diner. Jill looks up to find that the monster has crashed through the front of the diner leaving a large hole where the doors had been.
**SSTAARRRSS!!!!
STEPHEN: It's almost full just give me a minute!
JILL: WE DON'T HAVE A DAMN MINUTE LET'S GO!!!
STEPHEN......Alright it's full let's goOOOOOO!
~~The monster grabs Stephen with a long purple tentacle and throws him back toward the diner entrance.
JILL: STEPHEN!!!!!
~~Jill backs away from the monster. Stephen is slowly regaining consciousness. Suddenly, Jill got an idea.
~~She picks up the gas nozzle takes aim and douses the monster in gasoline. Still backing away and shooting the gas at the monster, she looks over at Stephen.
JILL: Stephen get up!
STEPHEN: Ooowww... My h.head.
~~He stumbles to his feet and hurries to Jill's side. By now, Jill has backed up too far for the nozzle to reach.
STEPHEN: What now?
JILL: Give me a light.
~~Stephen searches his pockets and quickly hands Jill a box of matches.
STEPHEN: What are you going do?
~~Without answering, Jill lights three matches at one time and throws them at the monster. The monster bursts into flames and spins violently in circles waving its arms in the air. Its leather and rubber overcoat melts off revealing eight long tentacles protruding from its back.
STEPHEN: Come on let's go!
~~Stephen grabs the fuel and the two run as fast as they can to the warehouse to meet the others. As they run the monster continues to scream and growl "SSTAARRRSS". The monster falls to the ground and continues to burn.
STEPHEN: Does that thing ever stop?
~~Meanwhile, the other team has reached their destination. It is a warehouse that makes and carries parts for machines and vehicles. They lift up the rusty entrance gate. They have to use a long board to hold the door up because it slides back down when they let it go. There are no lights in the building.
ALICE: Can we get a little light in here?
~~Marie turns the light on her camera on. It doesn't help much, though.
CARLOS: I'll look for a switch or something.
~~A bright flashlight and a big shotgun are suddenly being pointed in their faces.
**Take one more step into my warehouse and I'll blow your heads off.
~~The voice of an older man comes from behind the light.
**What business you people got here?
ALICE: We're trying to get out of this city. We need a battery for our trolley.
~~The man lowers his gun. The silhouette of a short, chubby man can be seen behind the flashlight.
**Get out of the city, huh? You can't escape this madness.
CARLOS: Please sir, all we need is a battery for the trolley. If you help us we can take you with us.
**(laughing) Go with you!? You expect me to leave my warehouse to go on some suicide mission to try to get out of Raccoon City? Young people today are so crazy!
MARIE: Sir, you're not safe here. Please give us a battery and come with us.
**Not safe? I been safe here since all this mess with this 'walkin' dead' mess started. I got my gun, my warehouse...oh and my doggies Drake and Panda. They're in here somewhere, I haven't seen them since the lights went out.
ALICE: If you don't want to come with us can we still have the battery?
**Sure little lady. All the way in the back. Come with me.
~~Carlos, Alice and Marie follow the man deep into the dark warehouse.
**(whistles) Here Drake, here Panda. Where are those crazy dogs?
CARLOS: What kind of dogs are they?
**Pit Bulls. They keep any unwanted visitors out.
MARIE: (nervously) That sounds nice.
**Don't worry, they're some good dogs. Here boys...
~~They get to the shelf with the battery they need.
**Ahh, here we go. This here battery should do it.
~~Jill and Stephen come running into the warehouse.
JILL: HELLO?
**Who is that!?
ALICE: Those are our friends. They're trying to escape with us.
CARLOS: HEY JILL. WE GOT THE BATTERY. WE'RE ON OUR WAY OUT.
JILL: ALRIGHT, JUST HURRY.
~~They start to walk back to the front of the warehouse. As they walk, the man spots his dogs eating.
ALICE: What's that smell?
**Hey! It's good ol' Drake and Panda.
~~The man approaches the dogs. Alice, Carlos and Marie stay behind.
ALICE: It smells like rotten meat. *
*Hey boys. Wacha got there?
~~The man aims his flashlight at the dogs. They are eating a zombie.
**Holy shit!
~~The dogs slowly turn there attention to the man. As a result of eating a zombie, the dogs have been zombified. Both dogs dive at the man. He drops and breaks his flashlight. Alice, Marie and Carlos all run away in different directions. The sound of the man screaming and his flesh tearing echoes through the warehouse.
MARIE: CARLOS, ALICE, WHERE ARE YOU!?
CARLOS: I'M OVER HERE! I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!
ALICE: WHERE IS THE EXIT!? IT'S SO DARK IN HERE!!
STEPHEN: GUYS, JUST FOLLOW MY VOICE!
JILL: WE'RE RIGHT BY THE EXIT!
~~This is when Jill and Stephen hear it.
**SSTAARRRSS!!!!
~~The monster is rapidly approaching the warehouse. Burning the monster only seemed to make it stronger and faster.
JILL: WHAT!!!??? NOO!!!
~~The only choice Jill and Stephen have is to disappear into the darkness of the warehouse. The monster follows. As it walks in, it knocks down the board that is holding up the door. The door slams shut and the warehouse is pitch black.
JILL: NOOO!!! THAT MONSTER IS IN HERE!!!!
~~The dogs can still be heard tearing away at the man. Jill can feel the monster following her everywhere she ran. Everyone is running into walls and knocking over shelves. Stephen lights a match. He finds
himself in what appears to be the owner's office. There are papers on a desk. He sets them on fire. The old wood desk soon goes up in flames. The fire from the office gives off enough light to see the entrance, which is only a few feet away.
STEPHEN: EVERYBODY LOOK FOR THE FIRE!
~~The fire spreads a lot quicker than he thought it would. It is growing very big, very quick.
STEPHEN: GUYS HURRY IT UP!!
~~Carlos and Marie find the fire quickly. They prop the door open again and wait for Jill and Alice. Alice and Jill bump into each other in the darkness. They hold hands and look for the fire and the exit. Midway down one aisle, Alice realizes they are standing right in front of the two dogs. Jill and Alice stop. They
slowly turn to run back in the direction they came.
**SSTAARRRSS!!
~~The monster is blocking their way. The dogs are behind them barking and growling, and the monster is standing right in front of them. The orange-yellow light from the fire makes him look even more hideous.
**SSTAARRRSS
JILL: oh my God......
~~Alice and Jill can feel the dogs charging toward them. They grip each other's hand and prepare to die.
~~But the dogs don't even touch them. They run right past them and attack the monster. Jill and Alice run as fast as they can out of that aisle. They find the exit and leave the building. By now, the fire has spread over half of the warehouse. Now Jill, Carlos, Alice, Stephen and Marie head for the trolley while the warehouse goes up in flames behind them. Finally, back at the trolley, they put everything in place and prepare to leave the city.
STEPHEN: We made it.
MARIE: Umm...this might be a stupid question but, does anyone actually know how to operate a trolley?
~~No one says anything.
CARLOS: Well I can drive all the cars on Twisted Metal. It can't be that much different.
JILL: Stop acting stupid. This isn't some video game. I'll go look at the controls, I'm sure I can figure it out.
~~A door in the next cart opens then closes. Someone can be heard walking around.
JILL: (whisper) Who can that be?
~~They all ready their guns and bust into the next cart.
JILL: Don't move!
~~A young woman is standing at the controls. Her long black dress is covered in zombie blood and has rips all over it. She turns and faces the others.
ALICE: Who are you?
WOMAN: Please...I mean no harm, I'm just trying to get out of here.
~~Everyone lowers their weapon.
WOMAN: My name is Eliza. Eliza Walker. I've been trying to get out of this city since I woke up this morning.
~~Stephen has clearly fallen for the young woman.
STEPHEN: Don't worry, you'll be safe with me...er..umm..us. You'll be safe with us.
ELIZA: Thank you.
CARLOS: Do I know you. You look.....so familiar.
ELIZA: No, I don't think so. I've never seen you before.
CARLOS: Oh.
JILL: Can we stay focused here? You don't happen to know how to use these controls do you?
ELIZA: I do. I've watched my dad drive the trolley's since I was little.
STEPHEN: Great! You can get us out of here then!
ELIZA: I'll get right to it.
~~Eliza starts the trolley and they begin to roll.
MARIE: And we're off.
