After i check to see if he is looking over to the side and i can reasonably assume there’s no one with him, i open the door and shut it right after. “Were you followed?”

He walks in and sets a duffel bag on the bed closest to the door. Inside is an M-14, with eight clips, 20 shots each. None of the clips are loaded. There is a gun cleaning kit inside as well. There is three racks of ammo, some rounds are missing, but there is enough to fill all clips and have a few extra. “I booked the room for another week. I’m off in three days. I tried to find a STARS member, but they didn’t want to talk. I felt like they thought I was interrogating them. Maybe I scared them away.” He sets his pistol on the bed, it’s a 9mm, beretta. He sets a smaller pistol on the bed, it’s a .38 special, revolver. He pulls out six clips for the 9mm and about thirty bullets for the small one. “The 14 is mine, but can’t keep it in the patrol car. I’ll let you keep it here just in case something does happen. This can serve as our hide out for the time being till I can try to get some help.” He walks to the window. “The nights off when looking out.” He peeks out, noticing the bar is messed up and destroyed wire. “Trying to escape, haha ?” He smiles.

“Honestly i was gonna make a weapon out of it but i decided to trust you to come back. And you did. This might be a while before this pops off. I don’t want to scare you, but i wouldn’t tell anyone else about this. I know a lot of things. I can name the main culprit behind this, what’s going to happen, how long until the city falls. But i can’t remember the exact date. If you want the best chance of surviving this, we need to leave tomorrow morning. Do you have your patrol car? When we leave there will more than likely be a military barricade on the main highway. It probably won’t end well, so that’s a speed bump we will have to cross. And even if we do make it out, you won’t see it on the news. Raccoon city has been sold out as an experiment on eugenics by people rich enough to own our entire existence. They will kill us. And we might have to kill others. I know you’re a new patrol officer and this might still sound very wild to you, but i’m telling you this because you’re my best chance and i’m yours. I honestly don’t even know if this is real or a dream. But i’m going to treat it like its real until i stop breathing. There is no job waiting for you back here, no people will be left. Even if we were to stay and wait it out and stock pile, they have shock troopers waiting to come in and finish the job. This is the point of no return. No one is going to stop us from leaving this city. No. One. If they do, I’m not going down without taking some with me. Just know if you have a doubt about me, this is the time to voice it. Ask your questions and i’ll offer the answers i have. tomorrow morning at first light we leave.”

“I don’t know. The town seems normal.” He seems like he’s getting second thoughts. “I still haven’t seen anything other than your tech as evidence. I also have a job to do here. Even if things go south, I’d rather try to help our citizens get to safety. There is a reporter always at the jail. He keeps asking questions, then he vanishes. He asks serious questions, too. I think, like you, he may know more that most. And, if he’s there tomorrow, you should talk to him.” He walks to the door. “I appreciate your concern, but I’ll serve till I can’t, and arrest anyone I find to be corrupt, with proper evidence. I also investigated the water treatment plant near the station and talked to their staff. They tested the city water and it’s safe. If it becomes contaminated somehow with something, they’ll let me know immediately. If you know critical areas to check maybe you can accompany me to those places and show me what you need to show me. You willing ?”

“I would be willing to check some of those places out, but only if it’s just us. Some of the corruption is in your department itself. I can go talk to that reporter tomorrow. i need a way to keep that rifle with me though. Do you have a duffle? Everything could go south in an instant and the infection will only take hours to spread. I know it’s expensive but you gotta drink bottled water. Like dasani, aquafina, as long as it isn’t local. I have one place we can check. If you can come with me in the morning. There might be some things there to convince you.”

“All right, let’s get some sleep and I’ll swing by tomorrow at sometime. I’ll also try to get clearance for a ride along person so it looks legit, that way we have two hours maximum of no suspicion.” He steps out. “Good night.”

Before he leaves i stop him and ask “Is there any hardware, clothing stores, or pawn shops? One to two blocks away maybe?”

“Yep. You are in a good spot, but they are all closed till tomorrow. Mikes Pawn and the army navy store are just a few blocks from here. I don’t know the address. It’s to the south. I’d learn the layout of the roads and get a city map at the gas station or the pawn shop tomorrow.”
“Well, if there isn’t anything else I’ll be going. It’s been a long day.” He goes to leave.

I ask him “What time will you be here?” after he responds I close the door behind him. Lock all possible locks on the door, then I proceed to make a makeshift barricade from the dresser, chairs and other bed against the door. I watch the news for another 20 minutes then I take my watches alarm off for midnight and set one for 0700 and one for one hour before the time he responds to me with. I take the M14 out of the bag and begin field stripping it and cleaning any worn or dirty parts with the cleaning kit. I take care of any glaring problem areas. After I finish, I put it back together and do a function test to make sure the springs are intact. After the function test is complete, I pull the bolt back, insert a full magazine of the 7.62 rounds in it, and send the bolt forward. I replace the bullet in the chamber with one extra round in the inserted magazine, and lock it into place. I clean the .38, not as rigorously because of how reliable revolvers are, but take care of any catches in the cylinder. After it’s oiled and wiped, I give the cylinder 2 spins to check. If they glide smoothly, I insert a round into every chamber and close the cylinder. I sit the rifle, muzzle up, butt to the ground on the left side of my bed leaned on my bed post, and the .38 under my pillow. I check the time, then i attempt to fall asleep.

“Let’s aim for nine, between nine and ten. If you don’t hear from me, contact the police station and request me for an ongoing investigation and they’ll dispatch me to you if I’m able or they’ll tell you if I’m busy or not. If they say I’m not in take that as something happened.” He leaves at 8:02 (20:02).
When you look at the clock it’s about an hour and a half later, give or take a few minutes. You try to sleep but the stress and anxiety of the situation doesn’t allow you to sleep easily
At some point there’s a shutter, the door cracks slightly in the middle. You reach for the rifle but it’s not where you left it. The .38 fires when you shoot at the door, But the door continues to crack further, the shots having no effect on whatever is outside. A strong gust of wind hits the window from outside and the metal bars begin to strain from something outside. It sounds like thunder outside and there are several popping sounds but you believe a gunfire. There’s howls and cries and moaning just outside the window. There is a heavy thump above the room and crashing in the floor below you. They’re scratching at the walls on each side. A transparent orb appears at the door after the door stopped cracking. The feeling of safety surround that orb. Another orb a dark transparency approaches from the window, a feeling of dread and terror surrounds that one. The dark orb approaches you and it matter where you go in the room the distance does not change as it approaches you. Then enters you and you seem terrible images of death and carnage and a medieval style town. You see what you know is a dragon sadistically tearing apart villagers and crushing them and consuming them as well as the livestock of the village. A fighter jet flies by, the roar of its engines sound comforting as the dragon lips away in fear.I then you’re back in the room, with all the walls and the cracking of the door and all the sounds from before returning. The transparent orb then approaches you and enters. I nothing but comfort security and bravery feel you. Several images fill your mind that you instantly forget, but one you remember is a strange key. Unlike a normal key that has a serrated edge on one side it has it on three sides and the handle looks like a tooth. Then you hear a voice of a woman telling you “Save us.” You wake up at 7 o’clock, when the alarm alerts you.

As I wake up, I’m startled. Cold sweat from my dreams covering me, i grab the .38 and go check outside the window to see if anything has changed. I also check for the rifle by the bed.

Everything is as it should be. However, there is that transparent orb floating by the door. You are compelled to follow it.

Being drawn by the orb, understanding corporate f**kery, i grab both my weapons and walk toward it. I touch it with my left hand.

Nothing happens when you touch it, or but you are in a position to examine it really well. It has a sort of static life force about it. You feel a sense of comfort and compliance toward it. When you touch it, You do have the urge to open the door. You feel weird holding the rifle though. Although the rifle provide some sort of comfort, you don’t feel like it’s the right setting for having a rifle with you.

I toss the rifle and the .38 on to the bed. I touch it again to see if anything happens. If it doesn’t i look to my cell phone and take the charger and attempt to plug it into the orb. I remember the vision of the key but don’t know the first place to look.
