The Orders

5:00 PM The Main Raccoon Police Department Precinct

Detective Payne sat at his desk filing out paperwork for the chief on the recent accident on Warren Lane. It was really gruesome what happened, it was the cannibal murders again. The Coroners said that the driver had been unconscious out before crashing into the station wagon. And one of the passengers was killed before the accident; her ribcage was ripped open, looked like someone was eating it. The total casualties were 93 killed, 102 injured. The press was demanding a statement, and the mayor was furious, screaming at Irons on the phone to catch the perps. He was still pissed at Irons for taking the S.T.A.R.S off the case. He had known Chris Redfield and his kid sister, Claire, for over 12 years. They were Air force buddies, the last time he heard from him was when Chris called him, warning him about what might happen in Raccoon and about Umbrella, and their illegal experiments. He believed Chris, for he had never made things up when it was serious.

He walked up the stairs and entered Iron's office, Irons was sitting at his desk and had just hung up on a phone call from the mayor.

"Have a seat detective." Irons grumbled, Matt obeyed and did so.

"That call was from the mayor, he declared martial law as of 4 PM today. He wants to cut off the City; So that we won't spread infection. And he also contacted the National Guard at the Ragathon base; they should be here around early morning tomorrow. As senior detective, I'm giving you the assignment to keep the crime controlled in the city."

Matt couldn't believe what he was hearing

Blockade the city?

"Well, report to the RPD 2nd Precinct in downtown, that's where you will set up the control for that section of town." Irons started to get irritated.

"I'll get on it, Chief" Matt replied, he then walked out of the office.

There was definitely something going on, he probably knew that the Chief and mayor were dirty. They're just money-grubbing sons of bitches, but Chris had also mentioned a lot of his friends were in this conspiracy, taking bribes. It infuriated him; those men seemed to be good men, having a family to take care of. He couldn't believe it that they would give up their honor for cheap money. He walked out of the Precinct and got in his Chevy Caprice, and drove off towards his new assignment.

Orders Act II (The Beginning)

September 23rd

The early morning calm of Raccoon was suddenly erupted by the sounds of vehicles in the distance. In Washington Avenue, there was a convoy of trucks and Humvees, escorted by RPD squad cars. Men with helmets and M-16's cocked, rocked and ready to rollwere marching besides the convoy; the strangest thing was all of them were in Biohazard Combat Suits and in gas masks. They split up street by streets, and Black Hawk Helicopterswere passing over Raccoon, rappelling men down on the streets. People stared out of their windows, most of them ran out on the street. A soldier sitting behind the lead humvee's turrent took out a microphone;

"Citizens of Raccoon, there has been a viral outbreak in Raccoon, you are to report to the Hospital now for examinations and hospitalization. You are not to leave the city limits; anyone caught doing so will be shot on sight. We apologize for holding you against your will."

Outside the city, on all roads and highways; National Guard units and Pennsylvania State Police set up roadblocks, redirecting the traffic coming in out of Raccoon, and escorting them to Latham.Traffic going out was redirected back to the city, any citizen who objected met the barrel of a M16 rifle. A news helicopter was entering Raccoon airspace, when two Apaches flew in from the city; as if on cue.

"This is a restricted Government airspace, please respect the 10 mile limit."

They escorted the news chopper away from the city. At the opposite end of the city, Several blackGMC Suburbans and large transport trucks rolled in, all of them proudly bore the U.B.C.S insigina. Mercenaries hiredas Umbrella's eyes and ears for the whole operation.

This was just the beginning, is Raccoon saved? No, this was an attempt to rescue the doomed city from its fate. This was the beginning of the journey to hell.
