Resident Evil: Escape
Chapter 2-1 "Dangerous Encounters"
He stood in the kitchen, the floor brown under him, wood. Again, the familiar blue tint of moonlight filtered in through the window to his left; over the sink in the granite counter, next to a KNIFE. Lee grabbed it.
Julian's house was big, very big, not mansion big, but he was very wealthy, a businessman.
Grasping his Beretta 9mm very tight, Lee walked forwards; his footsteps were loud in the silence. It seemed as if no one was home. He walked into the living room, a very big one, with a tanish brown carpet, glass end tables, a coffee table, and a gold fireplace.
Various items, and knick-knacks filled the room, paintings hung on the walls, a large rifel was mounted to the wall, five feet above the fireplace.
Four doors and the stairs were all in the living room. One was a small empty bedroom, with a SMALL DIAMOND on the end table. In the other was some STRONG PAINKILLERS. In the other bathroom, there was nothing. The last door was locked, so he headed towards the stairs.
Lee walked passed the coffee table, three shots are heard, and they sounded like shotgun. Lee looked up, at the ceiling, from where they came from. More shots, this time like a pistol… Then two more, shotguns shots, it sound like someone is fighting with someone else upstairs, like they are pushing each other around, banging on things.
"Julian?" Lee shouted into the silence.
He walked to the stairs.
"dodge."
Lee jumps back, what looks like a tail, with a very large bone-like structure, a tanish color, swipes at him, coming through the roof above him, going into the ground.
It left, and returned, attacking Lee again, this time, knocking the 9mm out of his hands, as the tail stabs it into the floor, rendering it useless.
Taking the Riot Gun out of the case, with 6 shots in it, he aimed at the roof, it sounded like there was walking, the tail popped through the roof, Lee dodged it, and shot it, blood splattered over the area.
Another stab at Lee, and Lee again dodged it, almost loosing his footing, but he still regained it, and shot the tail. There was a faint growling, then it stopped; Lee had 4 shots in the Riot Gun left.
Lee hurried up the stairs.
At the top, was a hallway, it went to the right, and left. To the left was a small, room-like area in the hall, a little bit of blood, and the holes, from that thing…
Lee examined it. "This blood is warm…" he said aloud. There was also 100 dollars amongst the holes. He continued on, the hallway had two doors, along the right side, were windows, overlooking the neighborhood, fires light up the night, and the dark smoke lifted into the skies in multiple areas. The city was lifeless, it was like an apocalypse.
Lee stopped looking outside, and came up to an attic entrance (the ones you have to pull down to climb up into them), but the leather handle was torn off, and Lee couldn't reach it.
The house was pretty much secure, Lee searched a few bedrooms, and bathrooms, which connected to the hall, and found nothing but a SMALL DIAMOND, 60 dollars, and a GRENADE. Something did get his attention, he moved a table in the bathroom, revealing a vent, he climbed through it, and came into a small room, with lots of books, and desk that had a case. He took the SMALL DIAMOND on the desk, and examined the case. There were faded numbers on it, barley readable. 36-7.
On the case, was a lock, he entered 3617, 3627, and on, until he entered 1677, and it opened, revealing the SHOTGUN PARTS. He put them on his shotgun, making it more precise, and stronger.
He headed back towards the stairs. There was a crash, it sounded like something broke in downstairs. Lee continued on. He came up to an L shaped hallway; on the left of him were windows, overlooking backyards of houses, and a few buildings nearby.
A big light brown door was boarded up, if he had a CROWBAR, he could break threw it. He entered the only other door in the hallway. He was in a large candlelit bedroom, with red carpets, and a large, king-size bed. A key was on the desk, it was the CARPENTRY ROOM KEY.
Hmm, oh yeah, Julian, he likes to build stuff.
With nowhere else to go, he headed downstairs, tot eh locked door. When he got to the living room, he was greeted by three zombies… the crash… they broke through the window…
He lured them into a corner, their smell made him gag; he slipped by one, and took them all out, decapitating two of them with the shotgun blast.
He entered the locked door. This room had tons of tools, wooden blocks, and little things made, such as doghouses, and birdhouses. Amongst there was the CROWBAR.
Lee sprinted back to the stairs, taking the 134 dollars off of the zombie's bodies, and headed back to the boarded up door.
As soon as he got to the top of the stairs, another loud crash. The sound of a car driving through a wall, he looked downstairs. A zombie at the wheel. Typical.
"Note to self, don't let your zombie friends drive." Lee murmured, aiming the Riot Gun at the zombie in the seat. The car had ran right threw the wall, and was now in the middle of the room, you can imagine the mess.
Moaning was head, Lee looked at the hole in the wall, there must have been a hundred of them. His eyes went wide, "Shit!"
He sprinted upstairs, pushing a table down the stairs, throwing plants down there too, any thing he could, paintings, chairs, even a decorative shield that was on the wall, it would hold them off for now…
He ran to the door, and with all of his strength, tore the wood from the door, clearing the path. Lee opened it, about six bodies lay on the floor, covered in blood.
"Get the hell away! Now!" a man said, holding a Riot Gun.
"Julian? Wait, it's me! Lee." Lee put his hand up, telling him not to shoot. "I'm fine, not like them! I swear!" There was fear, or maybe excitement, in Lee's voice.
"Lee? Oh. What up dawg?" Julian gave him the special handshake.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but they are getting in…"
"I know, they drove a car through your front door, and now they are all getting in.
"God damn it! Those bastards."
"I lost my pistol, do you have one?"
"Man… I'll hook you up! Check this out!" Julian, who was dark skinned, very buff, and simple hair style, not gelled or anything. He pointed to his holsters. He had a magnum, and a Jerico 41 handgun. His belt had ammo holders, and he had plenty of clips. There was a lot of ammo, but it would not be enough. "Take this." Julian handed Lee a Mark 23 standard pistol.
"We need to get outta here… What can we do?"
"Well, I have some ammo left, grab what you need, oh yeah and change into this." Julian handed him the SPECIALIZED PANTS. "You can carry more ammo; it had clip holders on the sides."
"Cool." Now Lee wears Gray pants, with a few more pockets than the Jeans do.
"Take the rest of the ammo; we can get out by the window near the stairs."
"What about the zombies?"
"Well, if we let them get in pretty far, I have some gasoline upstairs, in the attic. Get it, and we can burn this house down without letting them survive."
"That's a lot of stuff to let go."
"Well, I aint living here with the zombies!"
"Good point."
"Okay, I'll go stall the zombies, you go get the Gasoline." Julian leaves the room.
Lee picked up the three HANDGUN MAGAZINES, and the SHOTGUN SHELLS.
He equipped the silver and black Mark 23 pistol, loaded it, and headed out of the room. Julian was ahead, pulling a chair to the stairs, to stall the zombies. To the left of the door that Lee just exited were the stairs to get to the attic. At the top level, there was just a skinny hall, to a rusty old door. There was a GRENADE on the small cob-webbed table.
There was also a typewriter, Lee typed up a memo of what he and gone threw so far, it ended with 005/Attic.
He entered the door…
The room was filled with dusty boxes, items lay across the room. There were two skylights, letting in moonlight. Lee walked over to the gasoline, and picked it up. He started coughing in the heavy dust. He walked to the door…
Thump… thump… thump… BANG!
BOSS; KAY
The creature with the one-like tail burst through the wall next to the door, the wall was mangled, he had no way out. The creature was bid, the size of two men, it was lizard like, with its skin a dark brown, almost blackish tint. It's body was like a lizard, it's bones exposed, while the smell of… rubber? Filled the air.
Its eyes glowed yellow in the darkness. Its bony figure stood in front of Lee. Its arms were claws, mutated, discolored, very un-symmetrical. Its head was like skull (sort of like the right hand man from RE4) connected to its shoulders, with yellow, jellybean like eyes. Another body grew out of its torso, human like, with a human hand, while the other arm a claw. It was covered in a red skin like substance; Lee took a step back, staring at the most fearsome beast he had seen yet.
Lee tilted his head, and said one word… "Kay?"
The body on the side of the monster was Kay, the face was still distinguishable.
The beast growled, looking down at Lee. In the dusty attic, there were plenty of things to work with. (dodge) Kay swung his tail at Lee, who dodged it, doing a back flip.
There were four wooden columns in the attic; Lee ran around one, Kay followed close behind. Taking the FLASH GRENADE off of his belt, he tossed it at Kay, hitting the monsters second head, it shrieked and went berserk slashing at the areas nearby, it couldn't see. It was regaining its vision.
A chance arose to damage it. Lee aimed at its main head, not Kay's, and unloaded three shells into it. Kay jumped up to the roof, Lee reloaded the Riot Gun, Kay was climbing around on the beams above him. It was moving too fast, Lee took a stance, aiming it at the noises coming from above in the dark attic.
(dodge) Lee didn't make it; the monster pounced on him, its boney claws on its feet dug into Lee's chest (caution-green). Key leaped off of him, Lee got up, looking at Kay, who was slowly advancing towards him…
Aiming at his head, Kay dodge the shotgun shot, he was way to fast, in a flash Kay was on Lee's left side.
About to strike, Kay brought his claw out, missing Lee as he dove, while grabbing the last FLASH GRENADE that he had, and tossed it towards Kay.
With the flash, Kay went berserk, his eyes in pain; he struggled to regain his vision.
Lee aimed at Kay's head, which spurted out blood after three shotgun shots, but then Kay jumped back up to the roof.
Looking through the room, Kay got the SMALL DIAMOND, 2 HANDGUN MAGAZINES, and the SHOTGUN SHELLS.
Kay jumped back down, standing menacingly in front of him, almost giving Lee a look of anger, Lee stepped back, glancing above Kay, there were some heavy looking crates behind held up by two beams, with 2 shotgun shells, they collapsed on him, making him fall to the ground, Lee reloaded.
Kay was stunned, Leegot a GRENADE and tossed it under him. It exploded and splattered blood, making a black mark on the ground. Kay got up, as if nothing happened, and started towards Lee.
In a quick slash, Lee found himself in pain (caution-orange), his stomach scratched by Kay's tail. Kay was standing above Lee, who was on the ground.
Getting up, Lee readied his Riot Gun, and with one shot, close range, blasted its main head off (hot Kay's head). Kay screamed, extremely loud, Lee trembled with fear, backing up, closing his eyes.
When he opened them, there was a hole in the roof, and 500 dollars on the floor, Kay was gone.
Now standing the dust old room alone, Lee looked down at the blood, and at the hole in the roof.
Lee whispered "Kay… What happened to you?"
There was a big crate that looked movable. Lee pushed it and it revealed a ladder. He opened it, and descended into the hallway.
Lee ran to the stairs, which were filled up with chairs, TV's, dressers, anything Julian could find. The zombies were almost getting through; there were about 40 of them visible on the staircase, crawling over each other and whatnot.
"Julian! Julian! I got it! Let's go!" Lee shouted.
Julian ran out from the other end of the hallway. "Okay. Go dump it up and down the hallway."
"Got it" Lee did that, the hallway reeked of propane; after it was filled with it he dumped the rest down the stairs.
"That window! Go!" Julian pointed to a window next to the stairs. He lit his light and dropped it. Lee jumped through it, shattering the glass Julian followed close behind, the hallway lighting up in fire behind them.
"Go! Go run!" Julian shouted. The house was quickly engulfed in flames, the smell of burning flesh in the air; his house was as good as gone. They headed for the street. In Julian's yard was 70 dollars, and a SMALL DIAMOND. They headed to the street.
On a body was the PUZZLE NOTE. There were about 20 zombies coming, and a few Dobermans.
"Holy shit!" Julian pointed them out.
"Fuck! Were sandwiched!" Lee screamed.
"It's too dangerous out here, we have to travel safer." The zombies approached.
"What about the sewers?"
"Yeah, one is over there." They ran over to it.
Using all of his strength, Lee lifted the Sewer lid open with the CROWBAR. They climbed down the ladder…
They were in a dark tunnel, green water was up to their knees. "It smells like shit down here." Julian said.
"I know."
"No. Literally, it does."
"No duh! Let's keep moving." Up ahead was a SMALL DIAMOND in the water.
Lee read the PUZZLE NOTE.

It was like a series of sewer ways that lead to one exit, they followed the note, and got out, now in a sewer passage with candles on the walls, lighting up the passage.
They followed the path, the water disappeared. There was a Merchant, and a typewriter on the desk.
"Julian, this is my friend." Lee introduced Julian to the Merchant.
"Hello… Nice weapons." The merchant said.
"Thanks, mine are custom made." Julian said, proud of his weapons.
"Mine too." The merchant showed him his collection of over 35 weapons on one rack, all specialized, and cool looking.
"Wow…" Julian was awe struck.
While they talked, Lee typed up a memo of what had happened so far… It ended with 006/Sewer. Lee also took the Strong Painkilers (green-fine).
