Chapter 3

Kyle was in front of Connie and Marco, blasting the zombies out of the way with his brand new shotgun.

" Why the fuck did I ever join the S.T.A.R.S.?" he asked as they continued their journey to the police station.

" Don't ask me." Connie stated, as she and Marco watched his back.

" Oh, well. When I find Irons, I'm going to kick his ass from one end of the police station to the other." he turned around and said seriously, " You know he's bound to be working with Umbrella."

" I figured that out when I was working under cover there." Connie replied off-handedly.

" Oh, I forgot. So is anyone else in the city?"

" Jill is very depressed, and I think she might be leaving today." Connie reported. " Rebecca and Richard left last week to go expose Umbrella to the President. And Brad is still here, and he's kind of freaky."

" That's because he told me the other day that he thought some monster was after him." Kyle said.

" Really?" Connie asked, intrigued.

" Yea, but I think its just paranoia from the whole mansion accident."

They walked in silence. Marco, of course, wasn't working in Raccoon City as a S.T.A.R.S member at the time of accident, but for a different branch in Colorado. Kyle still looked grim about the whole thing, and rolled up the sleeves of his red sweater. Connie bit her lip to keep from saying anything angry. They continued to walk in silence until they reached the huge doors to the station.

" Let's get to finding them so we can get the hell out of this town." Kyle said as they walked in.

" Where are we going?" Marco asked after they had climbed up the emergency ladder.

" The S.T.A.R.S. office." Connie said.

" Why?"

" Because, they probably haven't got there yet, and we need to make sure they haven't beat us there or it will be harder to find them." Kyle said exasperatedly.

" Why?" Marco asked again.

Kyle sighed. " Because- he started angrily

" Because only members of the S.T.A.R.S. have the key to the room, except for one secretary. If the door is locked, they haven't found the key, so when they do find it, they'll come back to the office." Connie explained while giving Kyle a reproving glance.

" Oh, okay." Marco nodded in comprehension.

" Come on you two." Kyle said. " The hallway is just through this door."
