Chapter 7: Ambush
12:14 PM, 9th May 1995
Seth and his group soon arrived outside the news studio. Anita stepped forwards.
"Okay, follow me, we have to go to my office, it's on the top floor." She remarked, sounding serious rather than arrogant for once, she obviously decided this was important.
They nodded and followed her inside, inside they found chaos, everything was trashed, a lot of doors were blocked.
"Merda!" Anita cursed in Italian, "Our path's blocked, we'll have to take the service elevator, this way."
Anita led them through the only available door, through a news studio that was strangely deserted and into the next room. They stopped; the room was complete carnage, dead bodies everywhere. The room was covered in blood, several body parts and it soon became clear that this wasn't the work of the zombies, but something much more deadly. Anita covered her nose and mouth, almost throwing up at the scene, her stomach churning. Tim and Victoria had to look away, Harry was still being helped by Victoria so he was also turned away, Seth steeled himself and looked around. He spotted one body that was still whole, almost. It was the body of a blonde woman, she was covering in blood and had been bitten, several chunks of flesh were missing as well as an eye.
He also spotted a blood stained note lying on the ground near her.
"Hey guys, looks like this woman died recently, God, whatever attacked her did a number on her."
The others came over; Anita then saw the woman and cried out.
"It's Nancy!" She gasped, apart from Harry the others looked at her, confused, "She worked here, she was one of my employees. She was the one who brought me the information on Umbrella before we were attacked by those zombies."
Seth picked up the note and they all read it as best as they could.
Why me? Why is this happening to me? I wanted to leave; I had no intention of staying in a city that could get me killed...I feel like crap, my head feels like it might split open...I lost an eye, can barely see...Finding key to a room, good. Getting attacked by ugly monsters, bad. Can see my bones, blood all over my body, I need a professional doctor bad...
The note ended there, whatever the next word was supposed to be was scrawled, Anita gave a shaky gasp.
"She...she must've died while writing it."
Suddenly Nancy's head lifted, Anita was about to talk to her when she saw the look in Nancy's remaining eye.
"She's one of them!" Nancy lunged at Anita as she said this. Tim was nearest and he took no chances but used his sword to thrust through her neck. Nancy went still and slumped down, Tim drew his sword out and Anita stumbled back, looking at Nancy's lifeless corpse.
After a pause she swallowed and spoke, "L-let's go, we've gotta, get that file and get outta here."
The others agreed and followed her to the service elevator, they soon discovered the key that Nancy had mentioned in her note was the key to unlock the door and escape but she had been attacked before she could escape.
They soon arrived at the top floor and hurried to Anita's office. Once inside Anita found the file on her desk, where she had left it. Anita picked it up and returned to the others.
"See, this is what I was talking about, read it." She said in a rush.
They opened the file and read through it. They were shocked at what they read, it was clearly an Umbrella document, it detailed their creation of a virus called the T-Virus, a virus that could reanimate the dead, with the disadvantage that the dead would come back as mere zombies, driven solely by predatory instincts. Anita nodded once they had finished.
"See, Umbrella is behind this, worst still, they're trying to cover it up, that's why they sealed the city, they don't want their virus becoming public knowledge. We have to take this with us."
They others agreed and they hurried to leave the studio, since Tim's trench-coat had deep enough pockets he took the file and stored it in one of his pockets. They returned to the service elevator and headed back down to the room where Nancy had died. They continued through the room but before they could leave they heard something, heavy footsteps. They looked around and then saw the source. It was the creatures that had killed the people in here. They were large, bipedal reptilian creatures with green scales, razor sharp claws on all four limbs, yellow eyes and sharp teeth; they remembered the definitions they had received on the document. The zombies were just that, the red skinned ones were called Crimson Heads, the dogs were Cerberus and these creatures were known as Hunters.
The group raised their weapons but the Hunters were quick, more agile than the zombies and they ran right at them. They opened fire but the Hunters kept coming, they reached the first member of the group, Pete. Pete screamed as they grabbed him and began tearing him to shreds, biting and clawing at him. Before long even more Hunters appeared.
"We can't do anything, let's get outta here!" Seth called out; Victoria shook her head, "But Pete..."
"He's gone, we can't do anything for him," Harry told her sadly, "We have to go."
The group rushed out of the room and closed the door behind them, locking the Hunters inside.
"Shit, this is crazy," Tim complained, "What the hell are we gonna do now?"
It was then they realized something else, Seth was the first to comment on it.
"Where's Myles gone, he was definitely with us when we escaped those Hunters."
Anita sighed, "We don't have time, we have to find somewhere safe, hopefully we can wait for some kind of evacuation there."
The others agreed and they headed back out onto the streets, hoping to find a safe location to wait for evacuation.
End of chapter, what do you think? Hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
