Chapter 8: Heading for the Sewers
After finally leaving the police station as well as Paul's death scene and the T-103 behind, Brian and Kyle both stopped and then looked around the street they were on, nothing, not even any B.O.W.s to vent any frustration on.
"Guess we've gotta find some other way out" Kyle stated with a sigh.
"Yeah" Brian agreed before suddenly stopping a look of realization in his eyes" Wait a minute".
"What is it?" Kyle asked, turning to face him.
"I can't believe, why didn't I think of this before?" Brian stated, lost in thought.
"What, what is it, wanna clue me in?" Kyle asked, desperate for some answer.
Brian smirked and announced, ""I've just thought of a possible escape route, through the sewers!"
"Through the sewers" Kyle replied, uncertainly, "Are you absolutely sure about that?"
"Do you know how many miles of sewer run beneath Raccoon City, if we find a good entry point rather than just some old manhole cover we'll find a map used by the sewer workers" Brian explained, "If we use that we can get our bearings and head in a direction that'll take us to another workman's station…outside the barrier, outside Raccoon City".
Kyle now realised what he was talking about, it made sense and it was definitely worth a shot, he had no ideas at the moment so this was probably their only chance.
"Okay, let's go then" He replied, "Where's the nearest sewer worker's station from here?"
"A few blocks from here, you can't miss it" Brian explained happily, "It's at the top of the street, the exact same street where Raccoon City's Private Elementary School is".
Kyle committed the facts he had been given to memory.
"We find the school, we find the way out" He voiced his thoughts out loud and Brian nodded, "Okay then, let's do this".
Brian then led Kyle in the right direction, despite living here his whole life Kyle didn't know the entire layout of Raccoon City, mostly due to the fact that before the incidents he had been a lazy teenager, now he was focused and determined and decided to try and memorize any possible routes in case he needed to remember them in the near future.
As they passed through a darkened alleyway they found a group of zombies waiting for them, taking care of them quickly and efficiently they were about to proceed onwards when a group of Cerberi ambushed them. Responding quickly they were able to kill the zombefied dogs before any of them could launch an attack. They left the darkened alley into a deserted street, they continued in the direction of the elementary school. As they drew closer they heard gunfire, and saw a U.B.C.S. unit being overrun with zombies and Cerberi, they ignored the carnage and hurried on trying to find a quick way to get to their escape route. Cutting through back alleys managed to allow them to cross several streets quickly and avoid many barricades but it constantly led to groups of either zombies or Cerbei waiting for them, luckily they were able to finish off the infected quickly but Kyle knew his ammo supply had to be down to at least half of what he had started with, luckily he had picked up some spare rounds for his handguns in the police office but he was certain he would soon be out of ammo for his shotguns and Tec-9, Brain was facing a similar problem, although he hadn't used it during the journey through the police station his sniper rifle was out of ammunition and his shotgun was getting dangerously low too. Putting those worries aside they hurried across a street that was full of zombies and into the alleyway opposite, after breaking through a locked but rather flimsy door they hurried through the next part of the alleyway and into the next street, deserted with barricades. They took a moment to catch their breath.
"Are you sure we're heading the right way?" He asked breathlessly, to which Brian nodded.
""Yeah, if we cut through the next two alleys we'll be there," he explained.
"Okay then" Kyle replied as he regained his breath.
They were about to continue towards the school when they heard footsteps, they stopped and then saw the source, it was a group of U.B.C.S. agents, they were on the other side of the barricade, they stopped when they saw the two standing there.
"There, it's the missing Test Subject, and it looks like the traitor is harbouring him!" The leader of the group yelled.
"Not now" Brian groaned at their poor timing.
""Open fire, take 'em down!" The group leader ordered.
The U.B.C.S. began to fire at them, they hurried to try and get to the alleyway and luckily made it without being hit, just then another sound reached their ears, a screaming sound and the ripping of flesh, not daring to look they hurried down the alleyway but when they got to the next street they found themselves face to face with two Lickers; also from the direction they had come from a third Licker approached, covered in blood, the blood of the U.B.C.S. agents.
The third Licker immediately jumped at Kyle but he dodged and then, along with Brian began to open fire on the monstrous creatures, soon they were able to kill one just then the second leapt on top of Brain and pinned him to the ground, he desperately held its head back, trying to avoid its jaws, Kyle was preoccupied with the last one and unable to help, the Licker pinning Brian roared at him, he gave a disgusted grimace as he finally managed to grab his combat knife.
"Damn" He grunted as he smelled the monster putrid breath, "This thing needs a breath mint".
Following the witticism Brian drove his knife into the creatures face killing it; he pushed it off him and stood up.
"Or a knife to the skull" He stated, continuing the witticism.
Kyle had just been grabbed by the ankle by the last Licker's tongue and had been pulled to the ground, it was about to jump on him when he suddenly gave it a full blast to the face with his shotgun, it crumpled in a heap no longer having a face. Kyle finally stood up and then Brian hurried over.
"You okay?" He asked, concerned.
"I'm fine Kyle replied before indicating the path ahead. "Let's go, we're nearly there".
"Right" Brian agreed and they both prepared themselves.
They hurried through the street and into the next alleyway, two Cerberi were waiting to ambush them but after the previous encounter with the Licker's the two dogs went down easily, finally they left the alleyway and arrived at the street they were heading for, a nasty surprise however waited for them there.
