Bullets whizzed though the air and splattered into the approaching zombies.
Contaminated blood spewed from their wounds and trickled to the cold
street. The evil creatures moaned lightly but continued to hobble toward
the frighten S.T.A.R.S team. Gun fire echoed through the empty streets
filling the once quiet city with loud disruption. Some of the projectile
bullets blazed through the air and pierced the skulls of the zombies. The
one's hit in the head staggered backward and crashed to the ground.
Lieutenant Sarah Harkin aimed her pistol and emptied her clip into the mass
of zombies. Many of the dead creatures fell to the street but most
continued their approach.
"There are too many of them!" cried Dan Pulitzer as he fired his rifle.
The S.T.A.R.S continued to fire their guns at the persistent zombies. Blood splattered in every direction caking the streets with gore. The gun shot wounds that were inflicted on the creatures would have killed any normal man but the bullets had little effect on them.
"Sarah, what do we do? We're cut off!" shouted Mick Sheehan amongst the gun fire.
"We go the long way around! I'll contact the chopper and tell them to meet us at the fall back spot!" informed Sarah as she pulled her communicator to her lips.
"There's no time for that! There closing in fast! Run!" cried Dan as he motioned the others to follow him.
Stephen McCaffery watched in horror as the zombies closed the gap between them and the S.T.A.R.S group. His feet were anchored to the ground and he couldn't move. Stephen stared at the zombies as the S.T.A.R.S group headed down the street. He wanted to follow but couldn't. All he could do was think about his little brother David. Suddenly, Sarah grabbed Stephen by the arm once again and dragged him down the street.
"You know, this is getting kind of old! You better learn how to start moving or I'll be forced to leave your ass!" warned Sarah, pulling Stephen with her as she ran.
The four S.T.A.R.S members and Stephen McCaffery raced down the empty street. The zombies followed but lacked the speed to keep up. The space between the small group and the zombies was widening. As Stephen ran, he noticed the sky above them. To his surprise, he saw that dark clouds were starting to cover the area. A low rumble of thunder echoed through the city. It was about to start raining which only made things worse for the small group.
After covering the distance of a few blocks, Lieutenant Harkin motioned for everyone to stop. Stephen came to a halt and took in air quickly. He was tired but determined to get as much distance as possible between him and the crowd of zombies. Sarah Harkin let go of Stephen's arm and pulled out her communicator. The dark clouds continued to cover the sky and rain drops began to fall. The once low rumble of thunder grew louder and lightning streaked the sky.
"Harkin to Eagle Two, we were engaged by a crowd of zombies and were force to relocate. I'm requesting that we rendezvous at the fall back spot; over."
The communicator crackled and hissed, but suddenly a voice came over the com link.
"Eagle Two to Harkin, that is a negative on the request for the fall back spot. The weather is getting bad and I'm afraid you're out of time. I suggest you find shelter until the upcoming storm subsides. We'll rendezvous then." informed the Eagle Two pilot, loud thunder crackling over the communicator.
"Dammit Eagle Two, we're in some serious shit right now! I must insist that we meet at the fall back spot now!" shouted Harkin.
"I'm sorry Harkin. The weather is too bad. We'll contact you when the storm is over. I repeat, find shelter and wait out the storm; over and out." replied the Eagle Two pilot.
Suddenly, lightning pierced the black sky and a loud clap of thunder echoed through the city. Harkin cursed to herself and reattached her communicator to her belt. Stephen stared blankly at the Lieutenant. He knew that things had just gone from bad to worse.
"Well boys, I guess we don't have any other choice. We need to find shelter and quick! I don't feel like getting rained on and I really don't feel like facing any more zombies!" shouted Sarah over the loud thunder.
Hard rain blanketed the dark sky. The four S.T.A.R.S members and McCaffery ran through the streets, all searching for a shelter from the rain. Officer Jim Deville led the small pack down the street. The rain came down harder soaking the small group.
"I can't see anything, Lieutenant. It's too dark!" informed Deville.
"Keep looking Jim. We'll take anything! An old house, a department story, anything!" cried Sarah as she shielded her face from the rain.
The group continued down the street. The vacant streets were cover with water. The water built up and quickly went down the man holes to the sewer. Raccoon City was dark and hardly anything could be seen. The group frantically searched for shelter in the pouring rain.
Suddenly, Jim saw something. A flash of lightning covered the sky, filling the city with some light. A small Walgreen's stood right in front of the group. Deville felt like he had found the gates to heaven. The sliding doors are probably locked but I don't see that being a problem, thought Jim with a smile.
"Follow me!" Jim cried as he ran toward the pharmacy.
The other four raced after Deville as he led them to the Walgreen's. The rain continued to poor and all five of the people were drenched. A clap of thunder sounded as the five individuals reached the store doors.
"Good work, Jim! Dan, Mick, help with the doors!" ordered Sarah.
The three S.T.A.R.S officers pulled out their weapons and used them to crack open the sliding doors. After about a minute, the sliding door came loose. Stephen was the first allowed into the small store. He could barely see but some of the Walgreen's could be made out. The S.T.A.R.S entered the store as McCaffery looked around. The store had been completely abandoned. All the items had been left on their shelves and from the looks of things, it didn't seem to have any zombies lurking around. They all made it into the Walgreen's safely but what they didn't realize was the real danger was still to come.
