Chapter 8: Tragedy

13:26 PM, 9th May 1995

J looked around, confused; he was tagging along with Katrina, Dylan and Holly. The reason he was confused was simple, the streets they were on were deserted, he had been expecting an attack but nothing happened. Katrina glanced back, batting her eyelashes at him.

"Something wrong?" She asked in a flirty tone, prompting another glare from Dylan.

J shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just surprised, I though we would've been jumped by one those creatures by now."

With Holly and Katrina leading the way Dylan dropped back to talk to J.

"Hey listen; I don't know what's going on but…"

J cut him off, "I'm sorry, I know you have feelings for her." Dylan spluttered and stared at him in surprise, "It's kind of obvious, the look on your face when you look at her. Anyway, I'm not interested in her."

Dylan nodded slowly and then asked, "So what's up with her acting like that?"

"Hero worship, I saved you guys, she's developed a crush, it'll pass when she sees I'm not interested," J then looked at him seriously, "That's when you should take your chance, got it."

Dylan nodded, the group walked on into the next street when suddenly J felt it again, the excruciating pain starting in his arm and spreading throughout his body, he dropped to his knee gripping his arm, the others crowded around him panicked, he breathed heavily as suddenly some memories returned to him.

He groaned as the new memories flooded his mind; however they left with more questions than answers. Finally he recovered.

"Hey, you okay?" Dylan asked, J waved him away, "I'm fine; I just…remembered some things."

"Like what?" Holly asked.

J sighed, "I kinda know what's going on, Umbrella's behind this."

Katrina tilted her head, confused, "The pharmaceutical company?"

"That's a front, they are behind because of a viral weapon they were creating, it got loose and it's been infecting the people in this city, that's why they're acting the way they are."

The other stared at him in shock, he nodded, confirming that he was telling the truth. Before they could say anything else they heard something, it was an emergency recording that was announced from the police station.

"Attention all citizens, due to the state of emergency evacuation procedures are in effect, all citizens please proceed at once to the Police station."

Katrina's eyes lit up.

"There, see, everyone in town that's not crazy must've heard that, let's go to the police station, we'll find Marcus and Sappira there."

The others agreed, J just nodded, he had his doubts about any evacuation but decided against saying anything

14:02 PM, 9th May 1995

Seth and his group also heard the announcement.

"C'mon let's go," He said, the others agreed and followed him as they headed through the streets towards the police station. As they walked they kept their eyes and ears open, waiting for one of the umbrella experiments to attack them, luckily for them however nothing came. That was until they were halfway there when a Crimson Head leapt at them; luckily the combined power of all their weapons being fired at it was enough to kill it. Just then they heard something, it sounded like voices, people arguing.

"Honestly, this isn't the time; we should be heading for the police station." A female voice said, a male voice replied sounding angry.

"We'll get there, just answer me, I've seen it, tell me the truth!"

They rounded the corner and saw the people who were talking, it was Marcus and Sappira. They looked up as the group approached and Marcus glared when he saw Tim.

"Oh, it's the geek." He remarked, Sappira shook her head, "Honestly Marcus, not the time."

"Shut up," He snapped at her before turning to Tim.

"I'm surprised you're still around," Marcus taunted with a smirk, "I thought those freaks would've gotten you by now."

To his annoyance not only did Tim not react but Anita suddenly laughed, he glared at her.

"Just what do you think you're laughing at?" Anita composed herself and then replied, "To be honest, Tim has a higher rate of survival than, at least he's properly equipped to fight…unlike you, I mean, Brass Knuckles, come on, why make yourself an easier target for them."

Marcus glared at her and shook his head, "Like I asked your opinion," He snapped before rounding on Tim again.

Sappira reached out and grabbed Marcus' hand.

"Marcus, just leave it," She said but Marcus suddenly turned to her, glaring.

"I told you to shut up!" He yelled before suddenly yanking his hand out of her grip and backhanding her across the face. Tim was outraged, "Hey come on, that's no way to treat…"

"I knew it; you think you can take her from me!" Marcus bellowed cutting Tim off.

Before anyone could say anything else Marcus suddenly grasped his shoulder, groaning in pain. He fell to the ground and began writing in agony, Sappira crawled over to him but Seth then realized something.

"Everyone get back from him, he's turning into one of them!"

But his warning was too late, Marcus, now a zombie, lunged and grabbed Sappira and attempted to bite her as she desperately tried to fend him off. Knowing he had no other choice Tim darted forwards and managed to pull Marcus off of Sappira, Marcus lumbered back to his feet and lunged at Tim who fired at him several times until finally He fell to the ground, dead. Tim lowered his weapon and turned to Sappira, she was curled up in the fetal position and sobbing, he knelt down and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," He whispered, she shook her head, "Don't be, you saved me."

Tim nodded and helped her to her feet, before anyone else could say anything Sappira spoke.

"We need to get outta here, we've gotta get to the police station."

The others agreed and without another word they continued down the street, Tim supporting Sappira as they walked.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
