This street consist of the upper class homes. The laws finley mowed with the same inch blade, bushes trimmed into what looks to be like a perfect square. Though the homes may look different the colors all look the same. This is the Ritzy homes for the rich.

As the chopper hovered over the street center, Arc held onto the top bars of the hatch, waiting for the bird to land. As they touched the ground, the engine cut off, and he jumped onto the street. Looking back up at Emily, he pointed toward the back of the inside, and then spoke out in a basic tone, not needing to speak over the blades. "Were not going far, refuling will take an hour or two. You can leave some of your stuff in the back, well probably find more in some of these houses..."
Arc turned from the chopper, and then brought out his sidearm. He didnt need his SMG, or any extra magazines for that case, the lighter he was the faster he could move. Aiming across the street, he saw all the different houses. Each and every one of them seemed upperclass, and all the same color. The fact that they were even in bad shape made him thankful, they wouldnt have too much to deal with while they explored. Plus, the unity of the housing meant they could split up without worrying about going too far.

Emily nodded in understanding. "Got it. I'll check the row of houses across the street. You check these. Oh, do you by chance have a spare radio? It might come in handy if either of us get into trouble or find something," she explained.
She took one of her packs off her hip, resting it on the seat beside Julie. It was weighing her down. She could go on without the little food she had in there. Reloading her handgun, she jumped out of the helicopter and with a loud thump, her boots hit the concrete street.
Arc nodded in agreement at this point. Emily then turned around to smile at the child. "I'll be back soon." she told her. The girl nodded sadly.

"Sounds good, but... This ones all I got, and its direct the the chopper. Sorry, chika." Arc nodded as Emily then moved toward the houses, while he himself went to the ones behind the chopper. Strafing up to one of the front doors, he turned the knob with one hand, and lightly kicked in with his foot. Aiming around the front of the room, he flicked on the small light on the bottem of the gun. It didnt light up the room very much, but it was just enough to make sure nothing could hide in the darkness.
Arc looked at the pictures on the shelves, they whole family was dressed like they had a wedding everyday. But the fact that there was no mess around made him think they all escaped before the outbreak could reach the place. They didnt have any time to take things with them, so everything was still where they left it. Walking into the kitchen, Arc opened up the fridge and the cubberts, and saw that some of the food was still good, and then water was clean and unopened.
Gathering everything he could, water and preserved foods, then put them all inside an empty lettice crisper he ripped from the fridge door. Arc placed this under his arm, and moved out of the house, shoving it toward the back of the chopper, and signally to the pilot. Looking at the little girl, Arc put on the best smile he could, and spoke in a softer then usual tone. "Help yourself to anything in there, little lady..."
Arc then heard a loud noise comeing back from inside the house, and put on a run toward the sound. Jumping inside the house with his gun drawn forward, he shouted out his status. "This is Corp. Griffin, im here to help!" At first, he didnt get any response back, but he heard a noise outside of the house. Turning to investiagte, and moved back onto the lawn, and then heard a voice behind him. Flipping back, there was an older man holding a shiny antique shotgun. "Are you trying to get us killed, son?"
Arc looked at the man with a confused expression, but then heard a growl from on the roof. In the next second, a reptillian creature jumped down and slashed the mans head diagonally, seperating from his spine as he fell to the ground. He looked at the creature, and fired two rounds into the monster with long claws until it lunged forward. Arc dodged out of the way, and reached for the shotgun, pulling the trigger. The fiend was pushed bakwards to the ground, and Arc looked at the gun for the mechanism it used, and then pulled back the second hammer, and waited for the beast to get up.

Emily had already been in one of the houses ahead. Only thing there were bottles of water. All the food they had was already rotting in both the fridge and the pantry. A but afterward she had climbed the stairs, insearch of anyone or anything. Sucked that there wasn't an extra radio. She thought about that for a moment as she checked one of the kid's bedrooms.
"Well...guess I could always use that man's radio when we get ready toleave. Let Mr. Douchette know we're alright..." she muttered. As she entered another bedroom, she frowned. Lying on the bed in a dried, bloody mess was a child.
"Dear God.." she said quietly, holding her nose, shielding it from the unbearable stench. Her eyes watered a little at the sight. "Who would've..." she began, approaching the body. As she pressed on further into the room, she noticed two other corpses. A man's body and a woman's. Emily kneeled down, noticinng a 9mm in the man's grasp. Her eyes traveled over to the side of his head where there was what looked like a bullet hole.
The way it was positioned would suggest that he'd killed himself. Her brown eyes then trailed over to the woman's, seeing a bullethole in the center of her forehead.
"Oh...God..." she whispered, standing to her feet. She looked back over to the deceased child, noticing a similar bullethole in her forehead. Oddly her skin was nearly fully decomposed compared to the other two.
"So the child was infected, re-animated, the man, who I'm assuming is the father, put her down...Then in either a fit of rage or mercy, shot his wife then himself..." she explained. No one was around to hear her, but sometimes Emily had the habit of speaking to herself.
Sighing she reached over to a chair where there was a folded up blanket. She grasped onto it and a couple of pillows before going out the room. As she made it to the top of the steps, she heard rapid gunshots coming from outside. Her eyes widened a little as she dropped the items and sprinted down the stairs and out the door.

Arc kept the shotgun aimed at the creature, and the second it got to its feet, he fired the last shotgun shell, taking it down for good. As the corpse fell, he saw Emily running toward him. "Were not the only ones here after all. We should move further down the street, take some heat off the chopper incase theirs more around." Arc held onto the shotgun, the doubt of find anymore ammunition for it was bogus, it was too old anyways.
Moving down the street a few blocks, the only real change in scenery was the distance from the chopper. All the houses had the same feel to them, it was pretty dull. One of the houses caught his attention though, the garage door was wide open. Theyed be able to find some useful items inside for sure. "We should stick together, if either of us were caught by two of those things, thered be no way out."

Emily drew her gun up and gave him a reassuring grin. "Right. Come on then," she said, walking further up ahead towards another home. She ahd to pass up one of the homes since the door seemed ripped apart. Must've been where that thing, whatever it was, had inhabited.
Ofcourse this would mean it'd leave a damper on her escape plans. Sighing, the woman ran a hand through her fringes, shifting them aside.
"I'll check the top floor. You check down here and keep an eye out. I doubt anything can get passed you without alarming me as long as we're under the same roof," she told him before pushing open the door and immediately aiming the nose of her gun around, cautiously.
There didn't seem to be anything dead, so she went further in, shining her light on everything around her.

"Watch yourself..." Arc moved into the living room, holding the shotgun in his left hand with the sidearm in his right. Tossing the shotgun onto the couch, he moved into the kitchen, and looked around for anymore supplise he could take back to the chopper. Grabbing a reusable shopping bag hanging on the wall near the fridge, Arc searched the inside. It was empty.
Checking the fridge itself, he came across a number of things that werent outdated. Expensive mineral water bottles in the bottem, aswell as fresh fruit juice. Grabbing them all, he dropped them into the bag, and then closed it up. Seemed this family enjoyed cooking. Highly preserved foods werent going to be common in there household. Moving back to the front door, Arc layed the bag near it, and then explored the place further.

The house was pretty big. The furniture was pricey and above all else, the master bedroom actually had it's own mini fridge. There was bound to be something inside.
Grinning, she knelt down below the desk where the fridge was located. Pulling it open, she found a few water bottles and three bottles of various liquors.
She looked around a bit before reaching for one of the bottles. Untwisting the cap she took a long swig and then let outa breath of relief, putting the bottle back in the fridge. "That's some good stuff.." she joked, grabbing three of the bottles and placing them in her bag. Searching the side shelves she found some diet drinks, slim fast it looked like. That'd be great to keep since they're suppose to actually feed you.
She checked the dates and smiled, seeing they weren't expired. She put them away and stood back up, continuing her search through out the room.

Suddonly, there was a loud pitched growl, followed by the door bursting open. As quickly as the creature entered the house, Arc shot off two rounds into its body, and then dove behind the couch. Peeking up to see what he was shooting at, he knew by the shape it was one of those BOW's they met outside.
He couldnt take it out with the handgun, it would use up too much ammo. Arc heard Emily upstairs shifting around, she obviously heard the thing enter, and was now heading for the stairs. But as she came into view, Arc unloaded two more rounds to stop the thing in its tracks, and then told Emily to get down.
"Behind the wall!" Unstrapping his backup concussion grenade, Arc ripped the pin, and then heaved it over toward the doorway. Popping up once more, he capped in another round before ducking behind once again. After the blast went off, he raised up to see the effects.

Emily quickly looked around the corner, expecting to see a dead monster. But when the groggy smoke faded away, nothing was there but a giant hole in the wall. "s***, did it just disa---" before she could finish that sentence the large form broke through the hole, leaping out at Arc.
Emily quickly made it to the bottom of the staircase, raising her shotgun and popping it in the back twice. The creature finally fell dead. It was amzing how much it took from Arc plus the two shells from her.
Nudging it a little, she looked over at Arc. "You know, maybe it'd be safer to go find some gas and get the hellout of here. We'll try another neighborhood faaar from this one..." she told the man.

Arc kept his sidearm trained on the creature laying on the ground, he couldnt be too certain it was completely dead, but after Emily had finished speaking, he was convinced. Raising the the radio to his head and looking at her to make sure she knew he was listening, Arc spoke to the chopper pilot. "How much longer should this take? Were gonna be exposed..."
The radio cracked and the pilot answered before the sentence could be completed. "You should head back here, now." Arc nodded to Emily, and then put the radio back at his side, then reloaded his sidearm manually with the round left in his pocket. "Right, lets get back for extraction, then."

The woman nodded and walked toward the door. Thank God this nightmare was getting atleast a bit better.
As the two exited the home witha few things in hand, Emily glanced at Arc's radio. "Can Iborrow that a second? I promised someone I'd contact him to let him know we're okay. The least I could do for all his help and all," she said, hoping he knew who she was talking about.

"Yeah, of course. Here. It should be on the right frequency..." Arc unstrabbed the radio, and then handed it over to Emily. As she used it, they both made their way back to the chopper, back to the plan. It was good that they found some supplise, extra food and water was always a good thing to have.
Arc passed by the back of the chopper, and then crouched down next to the pilot as he kept his hand on a guage. "Good work, mustve broken the record time. Heh..." Arc pushed the bag into the back of the chopper, looking at Julie who was content in the passenger seat. He wasnt that good with kids, so Arc just left her to Emily. "Looks like were ready for lift-off. Sure theres nothing else we should take along?"

Emily laughed lowly, pulling herself into the helicopter. "Yeah, me," she joked. Julie smiled widely and got out of her seat, running over to Emily. "Emily!" she said, hugging onto the woman's legs.
Emily smiled and pattedher head. "Get buckled up,we're about to take off, alright sweetie?"
The girl noddedand did asshe was told. Emily then dug into her bag and pulled out a bottleof water, opening it and handing it to the girl. Watching her gulp it down, she looked back over at Arc.
"We better get outta here beforeone of those monsters find us.." she trailed off, messing with the switches on the radio Arc let her use.
"Mr. Douchette? Are you there? This is Emily, can you hear me?"
