Miles looked through some drawers and found some explosives, "You can use these Cream", Miles said.
Cream merely stared at the dead body of Zonic.
"Cream I know you're upset but there was nothing we can do", Miles said.
"We couldn't save him, even though we told him we would", Cream said.
"I know Cream, how do you think I feel? My first day on the job and I see a fellow cop die before my eyes, but unfortunately there's nothing we can do, we can focus on saving others and preventing this situation from ever happening again, starting with that little girl", Miles said.
"Yeah, you're right, lets go", Cream said.
They left the room and went back to the ladder and climbed up and walked up the second floor and back to the waiting room, they then proceeded to the destroyed door and placed the explosives.
After the explosives were planted, they moved out the way and stayed somewhere safe until the explosion, they saw that the room was ready to enter so they walked in.
They approached a door at the end of the hallway and carefully opened it.
They looked around and it was a quiet room with some taxidermy hanging on the wall and saw a dead young girl on a desk with blood from her stomach staining her white gown.
"Is that the girl that was screaming?" Miles asked.
"Were we too late again?" Cream asked.
At that point a chair from behind the desk turned around and aimed a gun at the two which startled them.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I thought you were both zombies", he said and put his gun away.
"Chief?" Miles asked.
The term chief helped Claire recognize who this person may be.
"Are you Chief Elias Irons?" Cream asked.
"Why yes of course, and what are you names.....no! Don't bother telling me, it makes no difference, you'll end up just like all the others", Elias said.
Cream and Miles looked at the dead girl.
"That's the Mayor's Daughter Megan, I was told to look after her but I failed, miserably, just look at her.......she was a true beauty, her skin nothing short of perfection, but it will soon putrefy and she will turn into a zombie like all the others", Elias said.
"There must be some way to stop it", Cream stated.
"In a matter of speaking there is, either by putting a bullet through the brain, or by decapitating her completely", Elias said.
Miles and Cream didn't like the idea of having to decapitate someone, even a dead body.
Elias looked at all his hunting trophies, "To think that taxidermy used to be my hobby, but no longer!" Elias stated, Miles and Cream just stood there, "Please, I really just wanna be alone right now", he stated.
They nodded, then walked to another door that led out his office.
"We'll be back later chief", Miles said and went through the door as Elias merely waved his hand in a yes gesture.
"Well at least the chief is alive, maybe he can help us escape, he may know a safety route", Miles said.
"Well lets find that girl first, but the more survivors the better", Cream stated.
They walked down a quiet hall with nice pictures and more taxidermy and arrived in a room with expensive pottery in shelves.
They heard some footsteps in the opposite direction and followed them until they reached a dark room.
"I swear I heard someone running", Cream stated.
Miles turned on the lights and saw the young girl hiding in the corner, once she knew they saw her she attempted to run but Cream grabbed her.
"Wait!" Cream shouted.
"Let me go!" the girl demanded.
"Easy, easy there I'm NOT a zombie", Cream stated.
"Neither am I", Miles stated.
The girl started to calm down.
"You're safe now", Cream said.
The girl ran to Cream and hugged her and sobbed a bit.
"Finally, she's safely with us", Miles said.
Cream broke the hug and looked at the girl, "My name's Cream, this is Miles, what's your name?" Cream said.
"Marine", the girl said.
"Do you know where your parents are?" Cream asked.
"They both work at the Umbrella Chemical Plant, near the city limits", Marine said.
"The Chemical Plant, then what are you doing here?" Cream asked.
"My mom called and told me to go to the police station cause it was......too dangerous to stay at home", Marine replied.
"From the look of things, I say she was probably right, but it's dangerous here as well, you better come with us", Cream told Marine.
"But there's something out there, I don't know what it is but I saw it, much larger than any of those zombies, and it's coming after me", Marine said.
At that point, there was a giant roar.
"What was that!?" Cream asked.
"That's what I was telling you about, it's here!" Marine stated and ran away.
"Marine wait!" Cream shouted to her.
"If there's something out there, we need to go protect her from whatever it is", Miles stated.
They both started to run after Marine, but once they got to the hallway, they saw Erazor again, he had Marine in his grips.
"Hey leave here alone!" Miles shouted as he and Cream shot at Erazor, causing him to drop Marine.
Marine ran off after Erazor dropped her and Erazor was being stunned by the bullets shots he was recieving and they managed to stun him.
As he was stunned they ran past him and both kicked him to the floor and ran back to Chief Elias' room.
"That was close, hey chief, there's a.......", Miles was saying but saw that Elias wasn't there.
"Chief?" Cream asked.
They checked his desk but he and the dead body were gone, and they saw his diary, they also saw that there were three stone slots but one of them were missing.
"Wonder what that is?" Cream asked.
"Lets just get out of here before our "friend" follows us in here", Miles stated.
They ran out the door and back into the waiting room, they took the time to read the diary.
"It's all over, the imbeciles from Umbrella have finally done it.....despite all their promises they've destroyed my beautiful town. Soon the streets will be infested with zombies. I'm beginning to think that I may have even be infected myself. I'll kill everyone in town if this turns out to be true!!!" they read.
"What? Why would he do something like that?" Cream asked.
"How does he know Umbrella?" Miles asked and they kept reading.
"I was successful in spreading confusion among the police as planned. I've made sure that no one from the outside will come to help. With the delays in police actions, no one will have the chance to escape my city alive. I've seen to it personally that all escape routes from inside the precinct have been cut off as well. There are still several survivors attempting to escape through the lower levels, but I'll make sure no one gets out", they read.
"He's.....he's insane", Miles said.
"How can he do something like this, he's supposed to protect the city not imprison it", Cream stated.
"I've had a change of heart about the remaining survivors inside the precinct. I've decided to hunt them down myself. I shot Lightfoot in the back through the heart less than an hour ago, I watched him writhe in pain upon the floor in a pool of his own blood. The expression on his face was positively exquisite. He died with his eyes wide open, staring up at me, it was beautiful. I wonder if Megan is still alive? I let her escape so I can enjoy hunting her down later...I'm going to enjoy my new trophy. Yes, frozen forever in the pose I choose to give her," they read, that was it.
"Damn it! He killed that girl", Miles stated.
"He's unstable, we need to get out of here before he decides to hunt us down as well", Cream stated, both left in a hurry and back to the second floor Balcony.
"You think he'll go after Marine?" Miles asked.
"Could he be that crazy? Anyway lets just go and make sure she'll be ok", Cream stated and they went down the ladder.
They went toward the main doors and saw a door to the left of them.
"There's a door there, we didn't check there yet, come on", Miles said.
They went through the door and saw a horde of zombies, they shot them to keep them away but they decided to fall back into a room with double blue doors, but they then saw
some more zombies, so they shot them as well and went all the way to the back of the room and saw a brown door.
They decided to go in there and then they closed the door and kept the zombies out.
"That was close", Miles said.
They were in a hallway with brown wallpaper and some broken windows, they walked and turned a corner and found a staircase that led them down.
They went down to the B1 levels and was in a hallway, they walked until they heard some footsteps, curious they went to see what the footsteps were and as they turned the corner, they saw some Cerberus, the Cerberus ran at them but they shot it, another came from behind but it was shot as well.
They walked down the hall and then made a left turn and went to a double door that was surrounded in garbage.
They moved through the area, seemed like an outside part, a lot of garbage nearby, the smell was killing them, they walked until they found a manhole.
They went down but saw it was a nice area with some rooms, they even saw Marine there.
"Marine, we've been looking everywhere for you, we were so worried, we've got to go now honey ok, if we stay here that monster will find us, lets go", Cream stated.
"..............No, I won't", Marine stated.
"What's the matter? Don't you trust us?" Cream asked, Miles smirked a little to try ensure Marine he was on her side.
"It's not that Cream, it's because of my daddy, he's over there, I heard him call my name, daddy must have been attacked by the monsters, I have to help him", Marine said and ran up to a small hole up the wall and jumped through.
"Wait Marine, don't go alone, Marine, Marine!" Cream shouted.
"Why does she keep running from us?" Miles asked.
Cream was even more worried so Miles looked through the hole but Marine was now nowhere to be seen, "Damn".
Cream was worried but they needed to leave and find another way, they went back up to where they came in from back in the B1 hallway and went to the other side and went to a silver door.
The door led them into a parking lot, they advanced into the parking lot but were both started by a gunshot that was near Miles's leg.
"What was that!?" Cream asked.
They turned around and saw a woman in a red dress aiming a gun at them, she approached them.
"Sorry about that, when I saw the uniform I thought you were another zombie", she said to Miles and then walked past him.
"Who are you?" Miles asked.
The woman turned around, "Rouge Wong", she replied.
"And what are you doing here?" Miles asked.
"I'm looking for a guy named Jet Bertolucci, he's one of those reporter types, always looking for a scoop, I heard he was locked away in a cell block, only there's a wrecked car barring the entrance, I've been trying to find another way inside", Rouge said and then went to the back of the van that she was talking about, "If we work together we can move this thing, give me a hand you two", Rouge said.
"Should we?" Cream asked.
"I don't see why not", Miles replied.
They went behind the van and the three of them pushed the van until a door was revealed.
The three of them went through the door, and at that moment, Rouge ran off.
"Rouge wait!" Miles shouted.
"Where is she off to in such a hurry?" Cream asked.
They both ran toward the cellblocks believing she was there.
They entered the cellblock and went to the end and saw someone lying in bed.
"Lets me guess...you must be Jet right? Get up, now!" Miles said and banged on the cell.
Jet got up off the bench, "What do you want? I'm trying to sleep here", Jet complained.
At that point Rouge came down the cellblock area and ran to Miles and Cream.
"Is this the guy?" Miles asked Rouge.
Rouge looked into the cell, "Jet, you told the city officials that you knew something about what's been going on didn't you? What did you tell me?" Jet asked.
"And who the hell are you?" Jet asked Rouge.
"I'm trying to find my boyfriend, his name's Bokkun, he was working for a branch office of Umbrella Base in Chicago, when he suddenly disappeared 6 months ago, I heard a rumor he was here in the city", Rouge explained.
"I don't know anything, even if I did, why would I wanna tell you?" Miles asked.
Cream gave Jet a smug look.
Ok, I say we leave him in there, does anyone know where they put the key to this cell?" Miles asked, banging on the cell again.
"I have it right here officer, but I'm not about to leave this cell, those zombies aren't the only things crawling around out there", Jet stated.
They heard a roar, the same one they heard before.
"What was that!?" Miles asked, still confused about what it is.
"Like I said, I'm NOT leaving this cell", Jet said and turned to them, "Get out of here before you lead it right to me", Jet said.
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere, I'm the only cop left alive in this building", Miles said.
"What?" Jet asked.
"Look, if you wanna live, then you're gonna have to leave with us", Miles said.
"But do you even know a way out of the city? There's a kennel in the back of the building, inside the kennel is a manhole, go through it and it will lead into the sewer entrance but it won't be easy", Jet said.
"Alright, I'm going", Rouge said and ran off.
"Hey wait!" Cream shouted.
"Ugh is it that hard to get survivors?" Miles asked.
"You stay in that cell, we'll be back for you later", Cream said.
"Why the hell would I leave the only safe place left in the building? Now if you're done I'd like to get some rest", Jet said and decided to lie back down.
Miles and Cream made their way to the Kennel.
"This is pretty annoying, we meet our first survivor, he dies, then we see a young girl, she keeps running away, we meet the police chief, he's a psycho, we meet a woman, she heads off on her own, and we meet some journalist, he doesn't wanna leave the cell, how are we gonna get survivors out the city if they don't cooperate with us!" Miles complained.
"I don't trust that Rouge girl, she seems suspicious", Cream stated.
"How? I mean she's a bit hot-headed and rushes into a situation too much, but I don't see that as bad, just a bit reckless", Miles said.
"She's also a bit headstrong, though my brother had said I was a bit headstrong too", Cream said.
"At least you're not running away from me", Miles said.
They went through the door and heard some barking dogs, luckily they were behind some bars and couldn't escape.
They went to the manhole and headed down the ladder and were in a dark area with some foot high water.
"Ugh, it smells", Cream said.
They walked to the end of the area and turned around and saw a giant spider heading their way.
"What...........the.......hell!?" Miles stated at the sight of the web spinner.
"Oh God, not this, anything but this, I'd rather deal with this zombies, this is so gross!" Cream shouted.
Both Miles and Cream shot the web spinner until it died.
"Do you have arachnophobia?" Miles asked.
"For God's sake Miles, it's a giant spider, of course I'll be freaked out, have you seen its eyes!?" Cream asked.
"I really don't wanna think about it's eyes", Miles said.
They passed by the carcass and they went up the stairs and saw Rouge at the end of the hallway.
"Rouge?" Miles said and walked up to her with Cream, getting Rouge's attention.
"I don't think we've introduced ourselves yet, my name's Miles, I'm with the RPD, this is Cream, her brother is a member of S.T.A.R.S.", Miles stated, Cream just waved.
Rouge shrugged and then looked at a gate that was shut.
"It's a dead end", Miles said.
Rouge noticed a Ventilation Hole, "You think we can get upstairs through the shaft? Give me a boost, I'll go and see", Rouge said.
Miles and Cream shrugged and then helped Rouge up and she crawled the shaft, when she got to the other side, she saw Marine, but Marine was startled by Rouge and ran away, dropping something her locket in the process.
Rouge picked it up and saw a picture of Marine with her parents, "How cute, that little girl must have dropped it, I think I'll hold on to it for her", Rouge said and put the locket around her neck.
Rouge walked out into the boardwalk, unfortunately it was a cesspool, so the smell was a bother to her.
"God this place reeks", Rouge said and walked around the area, she saw some zombies nearby.
"Easy targets", Rouge said and shot them all in the head and they fell into the water, "Have fun drowning in waste", Rouge said with a small grin.
Rouge walked into a room and she saw some drainage, and another part of the room blocked off due to no bridge and a big hole area, she messed around with some controls and water rose up and some aligned boxes made a bridge to the other side of the room, she crossed over to the other side and grabbed a key, "What could this be for?" Rouge pondered, she decided to just take it and go back where she came from.
She arrived in the room where she left Miles and Cream.
"Miles, Cream, can you hear me?" Rouge asked.
"Rouge, did you find anything?" Miles asked.
"Right here", Rouge said and tossed a key to them.
"Look I can't reach the Ventilation hole, I'm gonna try to find another way", Rouge said and ran off.
"What? Rouge wait!" Miles shouted.
"She's starting to get on my nerves", Cream said.
Miles sighed and looked at the key he got from Rouge, looked just like a club from card playing.
"Lets just go find the use of this key, there's another part of the station we haven't covered yet, lets check there", Miles said.
