Below Freezing Point...
We walked the underground unaware of what was to come, unaware of what was about to hit us. Consumed by darkness we pressed on ward into the cold hell that would be the nightmare within another.
Only hours after our narrow escape from J's Bar, we were found buried in ash and corpses by a group of ambulances and the R.P.D. I had thought the explosion we created which slaughtered the thousand zombie roadblock on the highway was gonna be my ticket out, but I was wrong I guess. Just like I was wrong about my immortality. Being on the force for so long I thought I knew all the dangers a cop could go through, but no one could have been prepared for this. There is no classes you can take for this. No lessons for this. There is nothing that can prepare you for when every horror movie becomes reality. Mark's death was a tragedy but not nearly has frightening as meeting him again, this time with yellow eyes and a tainted heart. Having to kill him was the hardest thing god could have asked me to do. I was able to jump the roofs of raccoon city, walk the streets covered in undead but this, this hit me in a place the hurt more than any broken bone. This was real pain. Pain from the heart. Nevertheless I did what he would have wanted me to do. I did what any one with respect for another human being would do. I put a bullet between his zombified eyes. After the main street blow-out Cindy, the young barmaid who travelled along with Mark and myself, were placed into different armoured trucks which were supposed to take us out of the city. Of course my driver was infected, lied about it, passed out, and drove right into a store wall. Out of the twelve original people in my transport three others had survived. George, a middle aged doctor, Jimmy a scared subway worker, and Yoko, a young collage student. The four of us reached what raccoon city politics told us was a new subway station that was currently being constructed. It was our only chance and it meant a chance to catch our breath for a moment from the streets. We made a deal with the devil. And the dice screamed go. We wandered aimlessly.
"What the hell is this!", Jimmy said with an angry attitude. Yoko looked at the metal door in front of us with an expression that screamed fear.
"Well they said it wasn't finished, so mabye this is as far as they got. I mean did you really expect this place to be perfect."
"No, this is here for a reason" Kevin said staring at the door in confusion
"I doubt it. We should just turn back and pretend we never saw it" Yoko said looking more nervous then when we were outside with the zombies.
"What are you so afraid of. What could possibly be in there that could be even remotly worse then whats out there." George replied
At that moment the door slowely opened. Everyone confused, looked into the darkness behind what was the essence of there first conversation. Except Yoko, she stared at the sealing and closed her eyes and almost cryed. They all moved slowely into the black. Yoko followed behind.
"What is this place?"
"I don't know George allow me to look into the future with my mind powers and find out." Kevin said sarcasticly. George didn't even glance at him he personally knew he was going to get sick of Kevins attitude from when he first saw him crawl out fom a huge peice of what was once a truck
Jimmy still confused about where they were yelled out "Hey I think I see som.." He was interupted by the flickering of light with filled the whole area.
Getting a glimpse of everything around him George looked around. "This doesn't make sense this part of the railway is much nicer than the tracks we crossed getting here." Yoko was still quite.
"I say we check it out." Kevin excited about actually being able to do somthing said
"No wait..." Yoko yelled but by the time she was heard her team had alreay climbed ontop of a platform and didn't care about her warning.
They walked the now lit hallways for only a few seconds before she snaped around the corner. Wearing a yellow jacket and a black skirt. Holding a pistol to his face, unaware of the people behind him, she asked Kevin "How did you get in here those doors don't open."
Angry about having a gun to his forhead he sarcasticly replied, "oh you wouldn't happen to be talking about the big metal one that we came in through."
The woman confused looked over her shoulder "If those doors open then that means there's a surviver in there"
"in where? How do you know?" George asked while moving from behind Kevin. She swung her head around to look at the new voice.
" Because those doors only open from the inside." Yoko spoke with a grim look on her face
"Yoko..." The woman became very pale and looked as though she was about to pass out. "What are you doing down here?"
"We could ask you the same question" Kevin lifted his eyebrows and glancing at the gun. The woman looked at kevin realising she was still holding her pistol to his forehead. She lowered the gun and placed in her pocket
"sorry"
George shifted his head to Yoko "You know this woman?" Yoko looked to the floor and nodded
"how?" Jimmy asked
"Her name is..." The woman steped forward interupting Yoko
"My name is Monica, I work here" every one stoped and traded looks amoungst them except Kevin who still stared deeply at monica
"And where exactly is here?"
"This is an underground facility owned and operated by..." she paused "Umbrella" George looked around at the silver walls
"Umbrealla? What would Umbrella need with a secret building kilometers below the surface?" George gasped "Unless.."Kevin turned to face George
"Unless they're hiding something" Monica looked at Kevin and sighed.
"We should leave" she turned around "There is a security gaurd who helped me escape" She began to walk slowely" He is trying to figure out a plan for us to get out of.." Kevin firmly grabbed her shoulder and spun her around so she was only a foot from him, she gasped in shock
"What did Umbrella do down here hmm?" Monica let out the breath of air she was holding in " I mean what reason would you have for not telling me? Unless you are hiding something? Which of course you aren't." Kevin grinned
"I would want nothing more then to explain what is going on." Monica began, and Yoko looked up and quickly opened her eyes "But we need to find a way out of here as soon as possible. That is however if you plan on walking out of here with a soul" Kevin loosened his stern face as if showing her she had won. Monica looked at Kevin's hand which was still wraped around her shoulder. Realising this he let go and quickly moved his hand to his side
"Sorry.." Kevin said, Monica moved to a door only meters from them, pushed a few buttons besideit and watched as the door crawled to the roof
"Alright, in here" Everyone followed without a second thought
-----------35 seconds later------------
They walked into a small room covered in maps and drawings. Sitting on a chair was a young security gaurd looking over some of the maps and writing something on a piece of paper. When they walked in the room the security gaurd stood up and reached for his weapon
"Monica? Oh thank-god I though they got you, you were gone for s... Who are all these people? How did they get here?"
Monica looked behind her " They got in through the sector four entrance." The security gaurd looked the security gaurd looked to his map
"How can that be all those doors are locked down...hey that means..."
" I know" Monica said before he could finish " Alright did you figure out where it leads?" she handed him the handgun that she had threatened them with earlier
"Where what leads?" Yoko steped in. The security guard brought out one of the maps and roled it along the table
"Just outside this room there is a large railway pipe of some kind. We saw it as we escaped, we also noticed a ventilation pipe that leads somewhere in the facility" Kevin moved infront of everyone
"Hey wasn't the idea to get out of here?"
" Yes " Monica replied
"Then explain to me how going in to the place we are trying to escape will help us get out"
"Well for one thing all the exits to the surface outside the instalation are locked down. For security measurs there had to be an emergency exit inside the building. It's our only hope." Kevin understanding the security gaurd roled his eyes and stepped back."And yes I did figure out where the vent leads." Monica steped towards the man and looked over his shoulder."The Pipe will take us to Level seven and level six. Both levels lead to the duct. If we can get there we will have access to level 4 and possibly take the elevater the rest of the way up. But it's a long shot. Knowing this place something could be blocking the vent exits or the duct. And it is very unlikely the elevater is still operational." The security guard looked to Monica waiting for a response. Monica traded glances with him and then turned to the rest of the room.
"We are not in the position to be picky. Whether any of you want to believe it or not, if there is any chance of getting out of here alive it will be in there. No matter what the risks, we have to try, it's our only hope."Monica waited for someone to speak. Everyone thought for a moment each looking to another person in the room. Finally Kevin stepped forward
Kevin pulled out is pistol and cocked it."Let's do it." No one disagreed with him.
The man stood up " Okay then lets get a move on."
They walked to the pipe way where the vent was. A large train was hanging on the tracks that led to where they were standing. The security gaurd looked harder at it."Some people must have tried to escape using that train. If so watch out there could be more of them in there."
"Okay." Kevin watched it as he droped off the tiny platform and began to climb the emergency stairs
"Oh by the way my name is John." He was ignored.
They had climbed 50 stairs before they were at the vent. "Alright there it is lets go in one at a time slowly. We don't want to put to much stress on it." John said. Kevin nodded
"Alright does everyone know which levels they are taking" The group nodded aswell. Yoko was the first to climb through, followed by Jimmy then George. Just as Monica was about to crawl into the dark she noticed the zombies creeping from the bottom where they had come from."Oh my god!" she screamed. Both kevin and John pulled out there gun and looked behind them seeing about a dozen zombies creeping up the emergency stairs. The two men began firing."SHIT!" Kevin launched another round into a zombies torso" We can't aim well enough at this range!" John continued to fire anyway.
"There is too many of them we have to go through the vent, NOW!" Monica turned around.
"More of them are coming from the tra..." Before she could finish her sentance one had her by the shoulders. She screamed. She could taste the creatures breath as it grazed her neck. It was about to bite her when Kevin quickly forced the monster off of her and onto the tracks. Before It could even hit the ground the zombie had a bullet between it's eyes. Kevin looked to see the zombies coming from the train. He had noticed the train had shifted since he last saw it
" Oh no the train its gonna slide down every one we need to move now!" Zombies now surrounding them, they ran to the vent. Kevin quickly lifted Monica in. She turned around and extended her arm to Kevin he grabbed it and began to pull himself in as well. As he did he watched as a zombie burst through a window of the train causing a great disturbance, the train shifted rapidly. "Shit!" he quickly crawled in.
"JOHN HURRY!" Monica cried out. John placed his hand in the vent trying to pull himself up into it. She went to reached out to help him in, when one grabbed him from behind and tore through the back of his shoulder. He let out a cry. Fiercly he smashed it's face with his elbow, In sorrow he looked into Monica's eyes for a moment and just stared at her face now drenched in tears and sweat. He knew what he had to do. John crawled out of the vent and grabbed the nearest zombie by the soulder and smacking it with his baton. He the turned around smahing another one into a wall using his foot. He could see the train was beggining to fall quickly he removed his gun from it's holster and slid it down the vent to Monica. Zombies now all over him "Go." He whispered in a soft and tender voice "Go." Before the gun had even reached Monica, the train had slid down the pipe line, covering the vent entrance for only a moment, and taking with it whatever was left of John.
"Damn it!" Kevin said in anger as he smacked the vent wall. Monica glared at the gun that lay before her " We aren't even in the building and we already lost someone."
"There was nothing we could have done." Monica said staring forward to where she last saw John.
"What?"
"It was the only way to clear the pipe line or ... they would have followed us through the vents we wouldn't stand a chance." Monica spoke with almost no expression. Kevin was scilent for a moment
"Will...will you be okay?" Monica didn't answer. Instead she picked up John's handgun and cocked it creating an angry echo that roared through the ventalation systeme. Kevin smiled. He was about to walk into hell, and he knew it. He smiled

Ok this is the first chapter in what I hope will be a good story. now i know anyone who has played the game, which i hope readers have to really feel the later chapters, the biggest question on your mind is : why is Monica not a bitch with a bad voice actor! well i'll tell you. When i played the level trying to get little details down and think about possible story twists i played as my newly unlocked monica and created some of the best stuff in my head. plus you all played the game you all know what really happens with monica and it would have been boring had i gone with that, it's been done(really good one by "amber20", check it out if you like outbreak) so anyways if there is anyone who has even read this far, review, give me your thoughts. If you like it or you just want to see how my take on BFP will end then i will continue with it , if you don't like it then too bad i'm probably gonna continue anyway. Thnx for your time on reading my first attempt at capter 1 of my first fanfic. Peace
