Soon Zak came to a staircase which could be winched upwards, Zak grabbed the winch and pulled sending the red staircase upwards to give him access to the top floor of the building. Quietly he climbed up the final stairs and emerged in a large square area. James Sunderland, Zak's continuous quarry, was stood near a bed and a body of one of the monsters that roamed the town. Zak withdrew his silver pistol and pointed it at James' head. The sound of the gun cocking echoed outwards like a gunshot in itself. James stood up straighter and tilted his head to one side
"James Sunderland; drop the gun and get on your knees" Zak ordered. James mumbled something but did not drop the rife he cradled in his arms. Zak moved forwards slowly
"Drop it before I drop you" Zak ordered, he prodded James in the back with the pistol. Something flashed in the pale light of the sun that bathed Silent Hill, something silver. James was stood facing Zak now, the kitchen knife Angela Orosco had given him was stuck deep in his stomach. James stood there looking into Zak's eyes but he said nothing. Slowly the knife was removed as James stepped back letting Zak collapse onto his knees. James walked past Zak silently towards the stairs. A shadow fell over him and Zak looked up to see Pyramid Head standing over him with its great knife. The executioner pulled its arm back and swung the knife forwards but Zak was paying no attention; he had no fear of the executioner, if anything the executioner should have feared Zak and Zak truly believed this. The knife turned to smoke on the wind before it collided with Zak as did the executioner itself.
James placed his hand on the cold steel railing and let the knife fall to the ground with a shrieking clang. The eerie sound echoed out as the knife fell down thee steps before falling through the gap between two of the stairs and fell into the lake miles below.
From where Zak was knelt he could see the ripples through the chain link floor he was knelt upon. Gritting his teeth against the pain and the blood which splattered his suit Zak got to his feet and withdrew the six-shot colt from the back of his belt.
It's finally over thought James as he looked down at the lake Mary, I can finally leave you in peace.
A movement caught James' eye and he turned to see Zak who was stood with a pistol pointed at him. James watched as two large Pyramid-Head's appeared at his shoulders. Zak knew they were there but ignored them
"You're not leaving this place James" Zak said before pulling the trigger. An immense bang split the silence right across Silent Hill as a flash illuminated Zak's pale features. The silver shot flashed across the short distance hitting James directly in the chest, knocking him sideways against the railing. Zak stumbled forwards, fury rushing through his being, as he ran towards James he dropped his gun but he did not care; he was nearly dead himself.
Zak slammed into James knocking them both over the edge, both of them plummeted through the mist and light until they collided with the dark and unrelenting waters of the lake; the grave of many a person.
