Resident Evil
Ultimate Nightmare
Chapter 2
Johnny went back to the room where Barry and Chris were. His eyes swept across the room, but he couldn't see them.
"They've probably gone somewhere else." he thought. The young man walked over to a desk. The sign on the it said: Johnny Svandal. He sat down on a comfortable blue chair, and looked over his desk. The lamp in the left corner of the table enlightened the mess on the desk.
"I've got to do something about this someday." Johnny laughed to himself, searching for yesterday's newspaper. There was an article about the newly missing tourist group. He hoped to find some clues, to help him solve this case.
"Mystery in Arklay Mountains" was the headline. Johnny started to read the article.
"Local authorities closed road to the wilderness area of bla, bla bla." He quoted. "S.T.A.R.S. called in to help investigation, local police forces have not been able to bla, bla, bla, bla and bla." Johnny folded the paper and threw it in the litterbin. "Not much help from The Raccoon Times, that's for sure." he sighed and looked after The Raccoon Weekly.
"A Witness says he encountered a dog-like creature near the Spencer mansion in Arklay mountains." It was not the first time something strange happened around the Spencer mansion. The young man decided to search through the archives, in his quest for clues. But first, lunch.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny went outside, looking for something tasty. There was a pizza place right next to the police station, and a restaurant a few minutes down the streets. "Pizza, or something else?" he wondered. He had pizza with Alice and Barry yesterday, so he decided to have his lunch at the restaurant.
After 5 minutes or so, he reached the restaurant. Pete's was the name of it, a nice little place that served lots of great food. He took a quick look through the window and saw that there were only 6 or 7 people inside.
"Perfect." he thought. It seemed that he would be able to enjoy his lunch in peace. He opened the door and went inside. He found a nice little table in the corner, sat down and picked up the menu.
"Let's see..." he mumbled. "Aaaaaah! Spaghetti and meat balls. Yummie!" He went over to the counter, and ordered the spaghetti-dish and a fanta.
"I'm sorry..." the man at the counter said. "We don't have fanta."
"Well then, I'd like a coca cola."
"Sorry, but we don't have that either."
"Sprite?" Johnny was getting irritated.
"Nope." the man answered.
"Well, what do you have then?" Johnny was about to give up.
"We have water... I think." the man said.
"Alright then! I'll have water." Johnny paid for the food, and sat down at his table, waiting for the spaghetti.
The time went by, and Johnny started to get impatient. Where could his dinner be, it shouldn't take this long. His stomach was rumbling in hunger.
"Shut up..." he whispered to his stomach. "You'll get that food of yours soon enough." It took at least a half hour, but Johnny finally got his meal. And he enjoyed it, indeed he did. He was glad they didn't have anything but water to drink, because it was delicious. It was cold as ice. In the end, nothing was better than ice cold water. He took a look at his watch. It was just passed 5.
"Better head back to the station." he said to himself as he finished the glass of water.
He left Pete's, and started to walk towards the police station. The sun was shining, and the sky was still as clear as the blue ocean.
"Better check the archives..." he thought. "See if I can find anything involving Spencer mansion."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's see..." Johnny thought, when he entered the archives, back at the station. The room was filled with boxes and shelves, fullof old reports and articles about various happenings in and around Raccoon City. "It shouldn't be too hard to find something useful about that crappy old mansion." He searched the shelves marked with "S". It did not take him long to find the box, containing various material conserning Spencer Mansion. He opened the lid of the box. It was as full as it could be. Hundreds of reports and articles about both Spencer, and the mansion was in the box.
"This could take a while..." he sighed. He brought the box with him, and went out of the room. He headed back to the S.O.T. office.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed, and Johnny was sitting at his desk, trying to find something useful. But he could not find anything that could help him in this case. He felt tired, so he went to the window to get some fresh air. It was getting dark outside. The gentle breeze cleared his mind, and he suddenly remembered what Wesker told him: "I believe Mr. Vickers wants to fly you out there before it gets dark." He closed the window and ran over to his desk.
"Oh shit!" he thought, and buried his face in his hands. "Better get going." He took out out a small key from his pocket, and opened a drawer in his desk. "Hi there." he said with a smile, as he took out his 9mm Beretta and three additional clips.
"Hurry up guys! I'd like to fly you guys up to Arklay this year, not the next!" Brad Vickers stood next to a green military-like helicopter, on top of the police station. He was The Ravens' pilot. He had been so for a few years now.
"Calm down Brad! We're just missing two people, Alice and Johnny." Frank Adams shouted back at the irritated pilot. Frank was The Ravens' medic. He was a really big man, both tall and stout. He was a person that you could rely on. If you were in trouble, he would do everything in his power to help you. He had proved this many times on various missions.
"Well..." the impatient Vickers started. "If the rest of you could buckle up in the chopper, we can take off as soon as they get here!" he ordered the other men. So Frank and the remaing two members of the team, Cliff and Jimmy carried all the necessary equipment into the helicopter. Cliff Peterson, the sharpshooter. This man was a remarkable sniper. He could hit almost anything, from anywhere. Like Frank, he was also a big guy. Jimmy Williams on the other hand... He was a skinny little guy, and the team's pathfinder. Jimmy, or Jimbo as someone would call him, could survive in the wilds for days. He was a master at survival techique, although it may not seem so.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny entered the locker room, and put on his uniform. The uniform was designed by himself. He had Black trousers, grey shoes, a blue T-shirt and a black west. On the blue T-shirt's right shoulder, S.O.T. was written in yellow letters. The same was written on the back of his west. His 9mm Beretta was placed on his right thigh, and the clips for it were placed in his belt, on the left side. His additional equipment were put in various pockets on his west. As soon as he had put on his uniform, he rushed out the door.
On his way up the stairs, he met Alice Frost.
"Hey Alice! Wait for me!" he shouted as he ran up towards her. She slowed down a bit, giving Johnny time to cath up on her. She was the communication expert on the team. She was a bit lower than Johnny, and had long, black hair. Her uniform was much like Johnny's. She had black trousers as well, but not a west. Instead, she had a black jacket. She had a combat knife attached to the back of her belt, and a Glock on the right side.
"Late as well?" she asked.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure they're tired of waiting so we should hurry!" he said, trying to catch his breath. Both of them thought that was a good idea, so they started running again.
Brad started the helicopter's engine when he saw Johnny and Alice coming towards them. Frank, Cliff and Jimmy sat in the back, preparing their weapons and equipment. Cliff's favourite weapon was the PSG1 sniper rifle, but he didn't bring it for this mission. Today, he brought with him two Glocks. Jimmy was puzzling with his new MP5 machine gun, he liked it very much. He had only tested it at the shooting range before, but he thought it was an exellent weapon.
"They're here Brad! Are we ready for takeoff?" Frank, the medic wondered.
"Yes, we are! We'll leave as soon as they get in."
"After you." Alice said and opened the side door of the chopper.
"No, ladies first." Johnny smiled and looked at her. He saw a little smile on her face as she went inside the helicopter. He went inside as well, and sat down next to her.
"Buckle up people!" Brad screamed to his passengers. "We're leaving!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
The helicopter's rotors whirled up dust and leaves from the helipad as they took off. The Ravens were on their way, for their last mission as a R.P.D. unit. Johnny stared out the window. The moon was up early this night, and it shone upon Raccoon City. The town seemed so calm and peacefull at night. There were few people, or cars in the streets. You could hear the wind howl as it passed by you. Johnny thought it was a beautifull view, with the moonshine and all.
"This is the captain speaking..." Brad announced over the intercom. "I hope you'll enjoy your flight. If you you want to prepare your equipment for the assignment, that's fine with me. If you want to listen to music, we are playing Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dreams" over the headset system. Thank you." Johnny put on his headset, Alice did the same. The others wanted to make sure they had brought everything they needed with them. One thing Brad, Johnny and Alice had in common, was Marilyn Manson's music. All three of them liked it. And since Brad was the pilot, he often put Manson's music on the speaker.
"Sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree. Travel the world and the seven seas..." They sang to themselves, as Brad set course for Arklay Mountains. The helicopter almost cut the treetops as it flew by.
When "Sweet Dreams" ended, Alice took off her headset and turned towards Johnny.
"So... What are you going to do when this is over?" she asked him.
"I'm not sure. I was hoping to get a position within S.T.A.R.S. , but that's not very likely, so... I don't know."
"Are you going to leave Raccoon City?"
"No, I don't think so. But who knows." He said. It was going to be hard for them when S.T.A.R.S. would take over. He had known Alice and the rest of the team for several years now. Leaving them would not be easy, they were his best friends.
"Yo! Brad! Are we at the dropzone soon, or what?" Cliff asked.
"In a few minutes!" Brad replied. "But I don't think I can set her down. There's too much vegetation in that area. So we have to do it old school, rope decent.
"Where will you be then?" Frank wanted to know.
"I'll head back to the station, and wait for you guys to contact me. You have a radio with you, right?" he looked at Alice.
"Yes, sir! It's right here." she said, and held out a radio. "You have the one I gave you, Cliff?"
"Yeah baby! I got it right here." he patted his left jacket-pocket.
Brad tried to keep the helicopter steady, as they reached the dropzone. The grass and trees bowed for the powerful rotors.
"Go! Go! Go!" he yelled as his teammates opened the sidedoors. They attached a rope to the helicopter's winch, and tossed the rope to the ground.
"See you later Brad!" Johnny shouted back to him, and threw himself out. "Wuhuuuuuu!"
It did not take long for The Ravens to exit the airborne vehicle. And as soon as they were on the ground, Brad used the automated winch to get the rope back up. The doors were automated as well, so all Brad had to do was to push a button. And that was exactly what he did.
"Do you read me, Alice?" Brad called over the radio.
"Loud and clear, baby! We'll call you when we need you. Ok?"
"Roger. Ravens... Good luck!" Brad turned the chopper towards Raccoon City again, and headed back to base.
"Ok, people!" Frank started, and took a map out of his pocket. "Here's the plan. We'll split up in two groups. Me and Cliff in one, and the rest of you in another. You will search this area, here." he pointed on the map. The area he referred to was the south-west area of Arklay Mountains. Their current location. "Me and Cliff will search the area surrounding the Spencer mansion."
"So we are searching for tourists, right? But what if we encounter those dog-like creatures people have been talking about?" Jimmy asked. He did not like the thought of meeting one of those.
"Then you don't hesitate to use that MP5, of yours." Johnny said, and smiled.
"He's right, Jimmy. If you feel threatened by any such things, fill them with lead." Frank added. It seemed the group was ready to start their mission.
"Well then, let's move out!" he said, and started to walk in the direction of Spencer mansion. Cliff was right behind him. The others saw their shapes disappear in the darkness of the trees.
"Okay, this is it, our last mission out here together." Johnny said, Putting a magazine in his Beretta. He looked at Alice and Jimmy. "Let's begin the search right away. I don't want to stay out here for an eternity." He put his gun back in the holster.
"I agree..." Alice answered. "Let's get going!"

And that's the end of chapter 2. I ensure you that you will see more action in the next chapter ;)
However, I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.
