Chapter Eight

Jill listened to Marco's tale of how he came to be in the city.

It was interesting, at least.

But did he have to talk so much?

They turned left at a junction and continued walking until they reached the Substation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jill spent ten minutes trying to get the Voltage Regulator correct.

" Finally." she muttered. " Okay, Marco, let's stick together. From past experience, whenever I get separated from a partner, they end up dead or are shocked into silence. We'll go through the first door first, then we'll go through door number two. Either way, let's hope we win the prize."

" Okay." Marco said, not too thrilled at what Jill had said. " Let's get to work."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Should we just override the system or use the emergency door?" Jill asked nervously as the zombies banged on the door.

They had grabbed the fuse and a Colt Python.

No sooner had they grabbed the fuse, a bunch of zombies decided to feast on them.

" Emergency door." Marco said, already making his way to the previously locked door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They stepped outside and were quickly surrounded by zombies.

" This sucks." Marco said as he raised his Beretta.

" SSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!"

" And now it sucks more." he muttered.

Jill pulled out the Colt Python.

Nemesis launched an aerial attach, which both S.T.A.R.S. members dodged.

He jumped off of the building, deciding he wanted to get a little closer.

Jill pumped him full of Magnum shells, causing the monster to drop.

" Let's go."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were now entering the Sales Office.

A gun shot sounded throughout the building.

A scream echoed off of the walls.

Marco and Jill silently crept towards the door of the room where all of the commotion was occurring.

The pair rushed into the room only to find Nikolai Ginovaef, whom both had already had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting, standing over the body of a fellow mercenary.

After a brief conversation, which caused them to both get suspicious of the silver haired man, they continued their search.

They had just grabbed the oil additive, when zombies, yet again, graced them with their presence.

" Don't they ever give up?" Marco asked as he raised his Berretta.

They were now trapped in the room, the only exit being guarded by the undead.

The duo began shooting at the approaching zombies and successfully killed all of them.

" Let's go before more decide to join them." Jill said as they began running out of the building.

The front door opened and they rushed out, hoping a zombie or worse, the monster hadn't opened it.

It was only Kyle, who could be a monster, sometimes, if you asked Jill.

After a lengthy conversation with him, they continued to the parking lot, which quickly collapsed under them.

" This day just keeps getting better." Marco said, quickly becoming pessimistic.

Normally, Marco was cheerful and optimistic. This was just turning out to be one of his bad days…

" What in the world is that?" Jill said she asked as she neared the ladder on the opposite side.

" I don't know." Marco said as he followed her.

They climbed the ladder and continued their way to the trolley.

They were in an alley way behind some buildings, when the ground began to shake again.

The floor gave way and they fell into a pit with another large worm, only this one was alive.

" We need to activate these two switches." Jill said as she dodged the worm.

The pair split up and quickly activated the switches, causing a ladder to fall down.

Both clamored up it, grateful to be away from the ugly worm.

" What will Umbrella come up with next?" Marco said as he noticed the trolley. " Finally."

Jill heard footsteps from their right and turned to see Kyle, Connie, and Carlos.

" Let's get going." she said as they all went to their only chance for survival.

A.N.- Okay, next chapter will be about Kyle, Leon, Claire, and Sherry.
