"Doc I think you killed her." says Kevin as he looks up at George, with one eyebrow raised.
"Naw, she'll be just fine. She's gonna be hurting but she'll be fine. You should be glad she passed out, cus when she wakes up she isn't going to be a happy unit I can tell you that much."
"Well, thanks Doc, for helping."
"No problem, dislocated shoulders are the easiest thing to fix , but probably amoung the most painful to experience."
They all sit for a moment and reflect on exactly what is going on. Cindy walks over and sits next to Kevin. The only other two that are talking is David and Mark, everybody else is in shock, looking over the edge of the roof, at the sight that they never in their wildest dreams would imagine to be real.
"Hey Cin, how the hell did you guys get out? I could have sworn everybody in that bar got mauled."
"We'll the minute I stepped into work they were fending off those things. We tried to barracade the doors and windows. But it didnt last very long. Those, creatures, got right past it."
"I saw you take off running through the back doors the minute those things came through the windows. But its Ok, I would have too." Says Mark
Cindy looks at Kevin sadly, as a tear runs down her cheek.
"They took Will Kevin. He turned into one of them. He's gone.
Kevin looks down, not knowing what to say. What the hell do you tell someone who's boyfriend was just eaten by a zombie. Huh?
"I'm sorry Cindy."
"What the hell is going on Kevin?"
"This whole town is gone Cin, and I believe Umbrella has something to do with it."
"What?"
Everybody looks at Kevin.
"See I believe this whole thing started in this mansion outside of Raccoon City. R.P.D. sent S.T.A.R.S out to investigate similar killings out there and we haven't heard from them since. It's like they're all gone, they vanished." says Kevin.
"Umbrella is the one who declared this emergency because of an 'accident' in the labs. They're the ones who created the ability for the dead to come back to life, I know it. I mean they are the medical geniuses." says Alyssa.
"Yeah but why would they want to bring the dead back to life, why would they want to kill an entire city.?" asks George.
"Maybe the outbreak was an accident, or maybe it wasn't an accident. That's what I'm trying to figure out." she replies.
Suddenly Kevin's radio sounds. He immediately picks it up.
"This is Leon, can anybody read me? This is Leon Kennedy,"
"This is Ryman, Over."
"Kevin! Where are you?"
"I'm a roof next to J's Bar."
"Is anybody with you?"
"Yeah quite a few actually."
"I've got a car, Im going to come pick people up and bring them to the police station, where it's a lot safer."
"Ok, just flash your lights when you get near, were on the left side of J's bar if your coming from the police station."
"Ok I'll see you in a bit." the voice reply's fuzzily.
"Yep."
"Leon out."
Kevin rolls his eyes and looks up at the others.
"That Rookie thinks he's something else."
Alyssa walks into the middle of everybody.
"We'll now we have to decide who goes with the Rookie."
"I say the women go first, that would make the most sense." says Mark.
Kevin looks up at Mark.
"We'll she's staying with me."
He wasn't about to put her life in the hands of someone who just started working that day, someone he didn't even know. Plus he just plain and simple didn't want to let her out of his sight.
"I think its best that women go first." Mark sighs.
"We'll I think its best that she stays with me."
"We'll what are you going to do just sit up here with her all day?" Says Alyssa.
"If I have to."
"Hey she could switch with me." Says Jim the subway worker.
"Hey can we all stop this?" Cindy breaks in.
"Yeah officer, you can stay here and get eaten, along with your little filly." says Alyssa, ignoring Cindy.
"Yep." he replies sarcastically.
There was one thing that Kevin was just as good at as he was shooting his gun, and that was being a smartass. He was damn good at it and he quite enjoyed it.
"And when she does wake up, shes only going to slow us down." Alyssa says ruthlessly.
"Hey I'll gladly switch with her, I want to get out of here." repeats Jim.
"Who says your going with us. I believe your going with Leon. This whole thing is enough of a headache without having to listen to your clam flapping constantly."
Alyssa looks at Kevin, pissed beyond all reason.
"Fine, I'll find a way out of here myself."
"Good luck with that, cheesecake."
"Thats ENOUGH out of both of you." Screams Mark.
He glares at them both.
"You know I've been through some pretty shitty stuff in my time, I've fought in a war, we're fighting in a war right now. But we don't need to be fighting a war against each other. This is ridiculous, we should be helping each other."
Kevin looks at Alyssa, and then at Mark.
"I'm sorry Mark your right."
Just then they see red and blue cherry's flashing on the street below followed by a couple of gunshots. Kevin's radio sounds.
"Kevin which building is it."
"Your right below us Leon, pull forward to the ladder."
"Roger."
Everbody crowds around to the ladder. Just as Kevin is about to set Candy down she moans. He looks into her eyes which are filled with agony.
"Hey there, are you going to be ok." He says quietly as he strokes her hair from her face.
She looks up at him as a tear rolls down her face. Her chin cringes. Geeze this is just as bad as the time I slammed my kitten's tail in the door. Same God damned feeling.
"God it hurts, it hurts like hell." she moans.
"I am so sorry."
"Don't be sorry Kevin, you just saved my life."
George walks over to them both. He kneels down next to Candy.
"She's awake now, that's good."
"She's in a lot of pain."
"We'll I have something that will help the pain." George says looking through his bag.
"A cigarette?" She looks up at George.
"Something a little more potent."
He pulls out a syringe and looks up at Kevin.
"I'll take it from here Kevin, you go figure out what where going to about who goes with Leon."
He nods at George and gives Candy a wink, and rises to his feet to head over towards the other people. Candy painfully sits up with a look of anguish on her face. George pulls a liquid from a small clear bottle into the syringe. He snaps the syringe.
"Ok are you afraid of needles?"
Candy gives him a dumb look as he notices the rings coming out of her septum and lip.
"Doc do I look like Im afraid of needles?" she halfway tries to smile.
He smiles and injects an anesthetic into her arm.
Meanwhile Kevin peaks over the ledge at Leon's car. Leon was standing at the base of the ladder. Oblivious.
"LEON GET BACK IN YOUR CAR! I'LL START SENDING PEOPLE DOWN." Kevin yells down to Leon.
God damn that rookie, what the hell is he doing getting out of his car, is he dull? Kevin thinks to himself
"IS EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT UP THERE?" Leon screams back up.
The look on his face was...priceless. Kevin could tell that he was trying to act like everything was under control, but he knew better
"YEAH EVERYBODY IS FINE, I'LL START SENDING THEM DOWN." Kevin replies.
Kevin turns around and looks et everybody.
"Ok here's my opinion, I say that the youngest go first."
"Aww maan." Sighs Jim.
Luke and Yoko step foreward.
"That would be us. Well Candy too."
Mark shakes his head.
"I still say that we send Candy down with him. She'd stand a better chance with Leon, even though he is a rookie he's going to the police station and that's probably a lot safer than where we're going to be going."
"Excuse me?" Kevin says.
Cindy sighs and walks up to him and puts her hand on his forearm.
"You know Kevin I think he's right, I think it would be safer, for her."
Alyssa scoffs.
"Yeah look at her she doesnt look like she's going to be going anywhere anytime soon."
Kevin looks at Candy who's eyes are glazed over as she sways back and forth, trying to keep her eyes open. God shes as high as a kite.
"Christ Doc what did you do to her!"
"I gave her morphine, it was all I had."
"Ohhh splendid." He puts his hand on his forehead.
"You better send her with Leon." says Alyssa again.
"No shes coming with me and that's final."
"Hey! How about we all be quiet and stop wasting time, why don't we let the lady decide." Says David, than man of very little words.
"If she's capable." Alyssa smirks.
Kevin gives Alyssa a very sour look. Somebody better shut that bitch up before I shut her up myself. He walks over to Candy. She watches him sluggishly as he approaches her. Her pupils were the size of saucers.
"Hey, you need to make a decision, who do you want to go with me or Leon. Leon is going to the police station, it will be safer there, but you can go with me too if you want, its your choice."
"Hold me up." she says slowly.
He nods and takes her in his arms. She blinks as if she was in slow motion and smiles up at him.
"I want to go with yeewwwwwww."
Of course you do. Kevin looks up at everybody and smiles a classic, cocky,one-eybrow-up, Kevin Ryman smile.
"We'll then thats settled, Luke and Yoko go on down the ladder. Then Cindy and then Alyssa." George states.
Luke and Yoko immediately begin to descend the ladder. Kevin looks down at Candy and smiles.
"Need help to your feet there,Blue?"
"Yyyy eeeeaaaaaahhh." She smiles.
He hoists her up and puts her good arm around him, it barely fits around his broad shoulders. They slowly walk over to the ledge and watch Luke and Yoko slowly step down the ladder. Cindy walks up to Kevin.
"We'll I guess this is goodbye, I'm going with Leon."
"Bye Cin. Thanks for everything, we've had some fun times at that bar. You take care of yourself all right." He smiles.
"You too Kevin, and take care of your pretty girl, she could make a very good mate." she winks
Kevin smiles at Cindy and she smiles back. Just as she steps over the ladder, there is an expolsion of glass from below.
"SHIT!" Kevin screams as the squad car is covered in zombies.
Leon has no choice but to step on the gas and drive off. Hitting zombies and knocking them off their feet all the way. Kevin helps Cindy back over onto the roof.
"SO much for that idea." He smiles.
"God I'm glad I wasnt down there." She says, her eyes wide open.
Kevin's radio sounds once again.
"Hey im sorry about that, I'll be back in a little bit."
"No Leon forget it, well find a different way out. Its getting more dangerous the longer we wait. We'll find our own way."
"Are you sure."
"Yeah, thanks Leon."
"You bet, I'll keep in touch."
"Ok, Kevin out." Kevin smirks.
Kevin looks up at everybody, they all look very exhausted all ready. Kevin hoists Candy up again. She looks a little more alert.
"We'll guys I say its about time we make our way down there and find a way to get the hell out of this town." He says with his eyebrows up and pointed.
