The Cemetary is found little ways away from the church and hotel district, conveniently tucked away from the city's attractions. It's small stretch of land with aging headstones and a few angels missing part of their wings and arms, from age. So far, it doesn't seem like there are any real threats of infected....but for how long?

((PLEASE IGNORE DOUBLE POST...I KINDA HAVE NO REAL CHOICE.))
[Crowley, Deckard and Li have crashed into the Sunset Cemetary]
'They're gonna---!!!'
Everything had gone dark after that. The sound of the helicopter and the whirring missile had been replaced by the crackling of fire and what sounded like heavy rain. There'd been the rumbling of thunder and mild flashing in the sky, but that was all the UBCS soldier could make out through closed eyes.
She could feel her body being pulled on and drug somewhere where the cold rain had minimalized. Partially opening her eyes, she made out the sihlouette of a man. She then closed them again, feeling her head pang with pain.
........ ....... ....... ......
After a few more quiet moments, she opened her eyes again to see Li standing over her, his face was somewhat dry since the rain rolled off his cap, the rest of his clothes and gear, were drenched. He'd been looking down at her.
The woman felt her body ache and her thigh injury from before hadn't bothered as much as the aching in her shoulder. Slowly turning her head to her right, she didn't see anyone. Looking to her left, she still didn't see anyone.
"Super...visor....Deckard..." she grunted.
Li propped her head up and held onto his fallen friend. "I haven't seen him since we crashed...stay still, you dislocated your shoulder. I had to push it back in while you were unconscious," he told her.
Crowley nodded slowly and began to cough violently.
"UBCS...they...tried to kill us...?" she asked.
Li sighed. "Yeah."

Deckard had been thrown from the chopper during it's hard landing. Luckily, he'd landed in a patch of mud. Not far off was the wreckage from the crash. As the UBCS officer stood, he surveyed the scene.
They were in a cemetary, a tool shed was nearby, and falling apart. The tail rotor of their chopper was lodged in the roof of it. Seemed it split off from the main body of the craft moments before impact, because the chasis was mostly in one piece. Knocked over, and a bit on fire though. Damn medical supplies and ammunition were probably still in there.
"Allison! Li!" Deckard called out, drawing his rifle from behind his back. At least that was still in one piece. As he moved, his boots sloshed and stuck in the mud. There was a big willow, by the crash site, would be a lightning rod in this storm though. Flames kicked up from crash and started the shed alight.
"Allison! Li!" the supervisor called out again.

Crowley had been sitting up against a mausoleum, ripping the sleeve of her shirt off and tying it around her other arm as a tourniquet. She'd waited for a brief moment to stand up to her feet with the help of Li.
"We should see if we can find Deckard," Li said.
Crowley nodded.
"What if we don't find him though...?" he asked as the two began trudging out from beneath the mausoleum. Crowley grunted a bit and looked ahead at the crash site.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," she informed him, limping out toward the crash. She and Li stayed a good distance away from it, trying to make their way around the site and it's flames in search of Deckard. They needn't wander too far though, a man had been across from them, calling out their names.
"Deckard!" Li said, waving an arm at the man. Crowley waved her good arm as well before grimacing.
"Thank God," she said aloud.

Deckard waved his arm at them and smiled a bit. Good to see he hadn't lost anyone else on this damn mission. As he started towards them, he heard a rattling and banging. Sort of like a dog banging on a fence.
He looked over in the direction of the noise to see the tool shed shaking and moving.
"Ready weapons!" Deckard shouted as he raised his assault rifle at the shed. The east wall collapsed and the flaming tail rotor fell, rolling down between Deckard and his mercs. A chained door fell off it's now nonexistent hinges.
Pushing the door down stood a large, tattered, dark and ominous zombie. It's claws were larger and more pronouced, and it seemed to be growing larger than it's clothes.
Deckard fired at it's head, but the damn thing moved out the way, erratic, frantic, depraved and hungry. It sped towards him, snarling like a mad dog and lurching about like a lunatic.
Several rounds pierced flesh, but none halted it until it came to bear down on the soldier. Deckard slammed the butt of his rifle into the monster's face but it persisted, grabbing and clawing at the man.
Deckard tried to maintain his balance, but lost his footing in the muddy terrain. He fell, holding the monster back with his assault rifle as it clawed at his shoulders and snarled in his face.
Teeth gritted, he tried to angle his rifle in such a way to shoot out the undead's brains, but in an unexpected display of cunning, the monster grabbed his rifle as he tried to angle it and tossed it aside angrily. Deckard grabbed at it's wrists to keep it from clawing his face or through his fatigues.
He forgot it's face. In the split moment it took for him to give it an oppertunity, it took it, slamming it's jaw down upon the man's collar bone with great speed and ferocity.
"Arrrarggh!!!" the man screamed, feeling the monster bite down hard on his cold, wet flesh.

A wall of flames had separated Li and Crowley from their supervisor and as the rotor rolled down the hill of the cemetary grounds, it only extended up until crashing into a group of family plots. Crowley had her arms covering her face from the flames when she'd heard the wild gunshots coming from the other side.
"Deckard!" she yelled. Li had been looking elsewhere, grabbing at Crowley's vest and shaking her to get her attention. When she'd looked over, several grave plots had began to cave in and arms began jutting out, clawing at the muddy terrain.
"What the f*ck!?" Crowley exclaimed, holding her sidearm out at it. As she did, Li had began taking shots already, stuck with nothing but his sniper rifle to use.
She barely heard the agonizing scream coming from the otherside of the fire when she'd holstered her gun again and bolted at the fire, covering her face and diving through it. She barely felt the intense heat and as she hit the ground, she rolled forward, landing on her pained shoulder.
"Argh!" she hissed, before looking up from the ground. She'd seen Deckard on the ground little ways away, struggling beneath what looked like...some sort of...evolved infected.
Rolling onto her side she'd felt her vision blur from the rain, she'd quickly blinked the water out and shook her head, unholstering her sidearm again. She'd extended her arms out, took aim,inhaled deeply and...

BANG!...Ziiiip
A shot of blood and the back of the undead's cranium broke off as the shot whizzed by. It'd only grazed it, but it was enough that it'd loosened it's grip on Deckard's flesh.
Twisting the infected's wrists and shoving a knee up it's gut, he knocked it off him and rolled away grabbing at his assault rifle's strap. From his prone position, he pointed the rifle at the beast as it began collecting itself, before sending a burst of rounds up through it's chest and head.
With that problem solved, Deckard stood up, shouldering his rifle and applying pressure to his wound. "Good shot Allison!" he yelled over the storm upon seeing her getting up from her prone position.
The merc waved a hand at him, lazily before dropping it to her side and then her hip. "Yeah...glad to...help..." she panted. "We need to help Li, there's infected...rising through...the damn graves," she told him, walking upto Deckard.
"Well go help him!" Deckard said, gesturing with his right hand for her to lead on.
"You okay, Deckard?" she asked. "Oh right, my concern isn't warranted, forgot...I'll go help Li now," she told him, limping down the side of the wall of fire.
As she limped away, her supervisor pulled the can of antiseptic spray out, tugged down on his BDU collar, and sprayed a bit over his bite. The man clenched his teeth as it did it's job before clicking the spray bottle away. He took a brief moment to check the time on his watch.
"2:40 A.M." the man said to himself, for posterity. No more time for himself, he drew his side arm and followed after Allison.

When Crowley made it around the fire, she'd been jogging with a partial limp here and there, holding her sidearm out incase of infected. Li had been standing there, a few corpses laying limply around him. He struck an oncoming one across the face with his rifle and kicked it for good measure as he hurried to reload.
"Did you get Deckard?" he asked, looking over his rifle.
Crowley slowed down into her limp again and gestured to Deckard. "He's fine. You took good care of the infected, good job, Li," she said impressed.
"Well you know..." he responded quietly.
"So what now, Deckard?" Crowley asked, turning to her supervisor.
"We get out of this damn storm," he growled out as he passed a downed infected. He sent his boot across the side of it's face, causing it's head to twist back with a loud snap. "Find a new way out of this damn city."
The trio had already began moving out, looking for somewhere to sit down for a moment. Getting out of the storm would be nice, not that Crowley could really complain about it. It kept her from catching fire and dying. Twice.
As they trudged through the wet and muddy cemetery grounds, a small building had appeared in her view. "I think that's the office, do we check it out, Deckard?" she asked.

"Could be civilians inside," her supervisor told her. "Or infected. Either way we'll have to clear them out. Robert, Allison, I want you to clear the sides, come in through the rear. I'll take the front entrance."
As his subordinates followed their orders, Deckard took the direct approach. Trudging through the rain and mud, he kicked the front door open and held his sidearm up. The room was empy and quiet, save for the roaring wind and rain that Deckard had let in.
"Hello? Are there any survivors in here?" he called out. If any were foolish enough to show themselves, he'd distract them and play the part of helpful military man until Allison and Robert would arrive and take them out from behind.
After a short wait, he realized no one was coming. He kept his sidearm up, just in case of any surprises, but his bite, coupled with his acid burned hand pained him and he soon found his aim wavering.
Conceding, he turned and closed the doors behind him before falling onto a nearby chair. It was hard and uncomfortable, but he needed to rest.
I need to get my heart rate down, otherwise it'll just speed it up, he thought to himself.
To that end he pulled out a small hardened case. Popping it open, it contained ten little white pills in insulated slots. The words, Take one every five (5) hours were written on the interior of the case. Popping one in his mouth, he swallowed it quickly before shutting the case and putting it away.

Crowley and Li had made their way through the back entrance of the building with their weapons drawn. As Li took point through the back door, he'd made a short grunt.
"Is it just me or is Deckard acting a little unusual?" he asked, switching his light on and checking the still room. The lights were completely gone and it seemed relatively safe and abandoned.
"You mean like how he decided to go through the entrance rather than the back?" she asked, concern in her voice.
"Yeah...did you check him?" he wondered.
"For what?" she asked, walking around the office and looking through a closet.
"You know, bites. He was wrestling with one of them, right?"
"I didn't check...I'm sure he's fine," she said, lowering her weapon. "Deckard's a strong old goat. C'mon, let's regroup with him," she told her companion before making her way through to the front desk.
As she did, the two entered the front office to find Deckard sitting down, seemingly exasperated.
"You feeling alright, sir?" Crowley asked.
Crowley unclipped her own flashlight and shone it around to illuminate the darkness around her.

"Fine, fine," he said getting up. "What we should be worrying about is how we're going to get out of this city if command doesn't want us checking out early." As he spoke he pulled out his TDSC and laid it out on a desk.
"They think we've gone rogue, don't want us leaving without getting more combat data, getting more civilians killed. Well I say to hell with that, it's suicide to stay any longer," Deckard muttered as he opened up some files.
"There, the only other team dropped near this area with the equipment to take our chopper out is Firestarter."
As he pulled up the files, he took a moment to stop his data stream to HQ. If Umbrella wanted their combat data, he'd have to be alive to give it to them.
The man looked up to face Allison and Robert. "You two are mercs, you know what happens when the people paying the checks try and cut you out of the picture?"

"We get even," Crowley said, folding her arms and narrowing her eyes.
"By doing what? Holding their precious data against them? Or getting physical?" Li wondered aloud.
"Both, I'd assume," Crowley told him before glancing at their supervisor for a confirmation. She was upset with Umbrella but right now, she wanted to get her hands on FireStarter for nearly getting them killed.
"Are we going after FireStarter then?"

"You're damn right. From this point on the mission's changed. We'll gather their combat data, but if Umbrella won't give in to our demands, we'll sell it off to the US government, the UN, or anyone else who'd like to see all of the corporation's dirty little secrets," he closed out the TDSC and placed it back on his person.
"If we see any civilians or military, standing orders are to keep your distance. We don't want them in our way, but if they live to be thorns in Umbrella's side, that's alright by me."
The man holstered his firearm and drew a combat knife. "Finally, we're no longer Permafrost," he then began systematically destroying any evidence on his uniform to the contrary, ripping and slashing at it as though he had been attacked by a BOW. "If any member of the corporation asks, we tell them we're Groundwater, before putting them in the ground."
Without any identifying marks on their bodys, a fake callsign would go unnoticed long enough to get the job done. It helps too that Groundwater is an unused callsign; legit sounding, but an utter fabrication.
"Any questions?"

Crowley and Li went on to destroy their team emblems on their uniforms without any hesitation. Crowley, herself, had felt relieved to be completely detached from Umbrella and the U.B.C.S. If they were going to take out FireStarter, they were going to need to be smart about it. With the lack of ammunition and first aid lost in the fires, they were gonna have to ensure they were thorough.
"None from me, our new objective is pretty clear," she said, checking the clip of her rifle. "We take out FireStarter, grab their data and get the hell out of the city. From there, we'll figure everything else out," she said.
"So we're stealing their data too, eh? Sounds good to me," Li told them.
"Great, so that's settled. Now then, where's FireStarter stationed?" Crowley asked, glancing over at their supervisor.

"That's the tricky part, we're going to have to go hunting," Deckard said, holstering his knife and drawing his sidearm once more. "Robert, you know the layout, what building would give the best view of the air from East Side?"
"Ciello apartment complex, sir. Wide open spaces and plenty of buildings to pick a good spot from."
"Then that's where we'll start. We have to get moving before they get to far, so move out." With that, the now rogue UBCS team ventured back out into the storm and into Raccoon City.
