Raccoon City

Escape

Emily

RAWWRRR! S.T.A.R.S!

"What was that?" Emily asked. Looking out of the window of the rushing car. Her father didn't answer her. Hopefully they would not find out. They were moving around town, it was over run by the monsters, the poor people.

"We need fuel to get out there's not much left." Her father broke through her thoughts. She shifted in her seat as he pulled into the gas station. Hopefully some fuel was left. The car stopped next to the pump and stepped out of the car. Her father shut the car and for a moment everything froze.

"Okay Emily, you stay here and lock the doors. I'll turn the pump on and start fueling, if anything happens you run okay, just run and get out." Her father shut the door after nodding and from the window she saw her dad whisper I love you.

David

He mouthed the words 'I love you' to his daughter and turned eyeing the area. He walked carefully away from the car and toward the shop. The door was hanging loosely but it didn't seem to have any of those monsters around. He stepped inside scanning the area with his gun in hand.

All I have to do is get around the counter and turn the pump on. That's it. David walked foward spin toward each lane checking for any sort of movement. Nothing.

He walked behind the counter and to the resigter, everything looked like it was still running, he fliped the switch and saw the pumps outside come to life. He fliped pump 3 and saw the meter waiting.

That was easy. Too easy but I'm not done yet.

David quickly made his way around the counter and back to the car his eyes scanning everything he possibly could. He smiled to his daughter who looked relived to see him.

He opened the fuel tank and pulled the nozzel and started fueling. His daughter Emily open the window.

"Everything good?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I just want to get you and me out of here." He smiled at his daughter, they had been stuck in this town for too long hoping for help that was never going to come.

Ugghhh. Swish. Step. Ughhhhh. Step. Ughhh.

David spung his head around to see three zombies heading right to him. Fuck this. He pulled the nozzel out and shut the tank. But he was not quick enough a forth came around and grabbed him. He hit the zombie with his elbow and turned and shot him in the chest but it still came at him. He shot three more times but they all kept coming. Then he heard Emily yell, "Dad shoot them in the head."

Emily

She yelled at her father. She remembered from the reports, espeically the one from Jill Valentine. They had to be shot in the head. She watch as her father listened and quickly got into the car.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah, lets get out of here."

Emily agreed they had to leave now. It was crazy and she had had enough of it already. Her father turned into another street when she saw a figure step into the street. "DAD! LOOK OUT!" The car spung out of control and everything went black.

Billy

Billy watch as the car took a spin and halted. It had to be people, Unless those things can drive now. He chuckled to himself. Standing he slowly walked over to the stalled car, he could still hear the engine running. Looking inside he saw two people a male and a female. Walking over to the drivers side he opened the door.

"Hey, are you okay?" He tapped the gentalmen but nothing, Must have hit his head on the wheel. Tsk.I can't leave them here to die. Even though they almost killed me.

Billy sighed and began to move the man into the back seat. He could at least drive them out of town and disappear again. He took a look at the girl she seemed fine he laid her back against the seat and shifted the front seat to fit his height.

Least it's a working car Billy, just drive and get out as quickly as possible, maybe before they even wake up. Could leave them just outside and they'll be safe.

Billy shook his head and started driving the car.

Raccoon was a mess. Streets blocked off, zombies over running one street and no sign of the exit. Billy was into his own thoughts he didn't realize the girl was waking up.

"Ugh, Dad what happened?" She said softly. Billy looked over and saw her open her eyes and turned to look over and terror flashed in her eyes. "AH! Who are you? Where's my dad?"

"Whoa, whoa. Calm down. You and your pops almost ran me over an hour ago. Unless you wanted me to leave you and you father there for dead then by all means I can take you folk back and make my own way." Billy was saractic but he didn't need this girl getting on his case.

"Wait you were the figure I saw before whatever happened? I thought it was just another one of those zombies."

"Well sorry to disappoint you. Your pops is still knocked out in the back seat." He pointed his thumb back.

"Dad, dad." The girl said but still no response from the old man. She turned back to Billy. "You look familiar."

"Good looking familiar?" Billy joked.

Emily

She said it before she could stop herself. It couldn't be him, and if it was why would he have helped. She laughed at his joke.

"Never mind I'm just stressed. Thanks for not just leaving us there." She looked to him. And then back to her father.

"Not a problem." She heard him say.

Turning back to her father she tapped him once again, finally hearing a grunt she said, "Dad you're up." She saw him shift.

"What happened? Ugh are you driving... wait who's that?" She laughed a little but began to explain what the man had already told her.

"Ah sorry 'bout that son, It's just you know. Not many people are ALIVE here." her father said. She turned back over and heard the guy respond.

"It's nothing, you guys trying to get out of the city?"

"Yeah, any luck you must have been driving awhile." Her father said.

The car came to a slow stop, "Well most of the roads are blocked and I really can't drive around the heard." Emily watched everything. Her father and the guy were trying to figure a way out. Then she remembered, "OH! I have a map." The voices stopped and she pulled her laptop out and turned it on from sleep mode. There she clicked from the screen to the map she had downloaded earlier.

Billy

"OH! I have a map." He stopped talking to the older man and turned to the girl who had opened a laptop. Where did that come from. Oh her bag. He saw her screen and saw different files and programs and a folder called S.T.A.R.S, Umbrella, Billy? He had no clue and didn't see much else when the map came up.

"Well?" He heard her say.

"Um, well.." He pointed to where they had come from and where he tried and where the blocks were at and even the zombie packs. "This is all blocked out. The only way out is if we get past the block of cars, bad news is we'll have to walk over cars and leave this one behind."

Billy looked at the two and saw the girl was very hesitant with the plan. But her father was thinking on it. Billy leaned back in his seat.

"We'll do it." He heard the man say. "What? Dad are you crazy?"

"We have to get out alive Emily."

Billy watched her settle down and shut her laptop back in to her bag.

"The name is David and that is Emily my daughter, thanks for your help and we could honestly use your help you seem to know your way around."

Billy held his chuckle in, if you only knew old man. "I can stick with you guys for a while longer." Billy opened his door and stepped out. "The names Billy."

After figuring what they had on hand Billy drew point. They had to get past this block of cars in the way. David the old man lead the front end and since hearing the girl didn't know how to shoot he left her with the gun and let her stay between them. He brought up the end of this rag tag group.

David was a few feet ahead as they walked. He was closer to the girl he saw her shaking, not because it was cold but she was scared. She reminded him of Rebecca, they looked around the same age. He felt bad for her and what about a mother he didn't know what happened and why it was just her and her father.

"Hey, you okay?" Billy asked her.

"Fine. Just walking in a city full of not dead people." she responded back to him.

"Look here shorty, sarcasim is my thing, relax."

"Oh and the 'dead Billy Coen' knows so much." He froze and she froze realizing what she had said.

"How do you..?" Billy and her had stopped walking.

"HEY you two keep up we're almost at the cars."

The two started walking again in awkward silence. "How did you know?" Billy looked at her keeping pace with her.

"I'm a hacker. While waiting for the none rescue I was hacking into the RPD files and ended up in S.T.A.R.S files and read Chambers report on you. Then looked you up and saw a picture." he saw her take a breath. "I won't tell my dad and as far as the world is concerned you're dead and we can keep it that way. Plus we need your help."

Billy couldn't believe it, just like Rebecca had shocked him so did this girl. Plus he learned Rebecca kept her word and he was a free man.. seeing as the world thought he was dead now.

"Why do you trust me? If you read my file."

"Because I believe what I want, and I don't believe that three other men couldn't stop you from killing a whole town."

"Well, if you say so."

They came up to David ending the topic of him and started to climb on the cars they had to get across to the other side where town exit should be. Coming up to the cars they started to climb, jumping from car to car was fairly easy. He watched the rear and ahead David lead them once again and Emily jumping cars close behind him. He saw it before it happend, the car was wet from blood and she slipped when she took the step. Billy rushed over and grabbed her by the arm and pulled him back toward the car he was on.

"Gotcha.. you know you don't have to make a scene for me to catch you right?" Billy laughed.

"Typical guy." Emily threw back. She walked over to the next car more carefully, Billy saw some movement and then it grabbed her leg.

"Ahhh!"

"Emily!" Both men yelled guns firing at the zombie that got hold of her. Billy leaned down and grabbed her arm pulling her up on the car once more.

"You okay?" Her father asked.

"Yeah lets just please get out of here."

Billy saw her face, she was scared and he couldn't blame her. They countiued across the car and until they reached the end. David jumped down with Billy following and both reached up and grabbed Emily down.

"Well that wasn't to bad." Billy said.

Emily just stared at him.
