*Bill looks forward, to see Cam standing in front of him. Having his hands tucked into his jacket pocket. Sending his body to the side with a simple side step, to spot Will behind him. After hearing her statement, Bill looks on.*
Bill: "I as wonderin', why do we have to dress up? Special occasion?"
*Bill was quite curious because he wasn't informed on the meaning of the social gathering. The three were making their way out of the hotel while they continued their conversation.*

"Dang Will, lookin' good." Cam looked from Will to Bill and then back at himself in the elevator. They were all different enough to draw the attention of others.
"So should I drive, or is the Lagoon within walking distance?"

Will raised a brow before laughing lightly at the two. Both had no idea where the Lagoon were and it was funny since they'd passed it up on the way out from the cafe earlier that afternoon. It was the hotel's restraunt, but because the Flamingo is a big time casino, it has one of those pompous atmoshpheres and required "shirt and tie". It made sense though since the retraunt addition to the place was extravagent.
"No, it's further down, passed the cafe. It's huge. My parents should be there by now, but...we're a bit behind time? Why is this elevator taking so damn long?" she wondered, looking up at the lit up lights regarding the floors. They weren't moving and before long the elevator had made a sudden jerk.
Will grasped onto the walls to keep herself up when the lights flickered and ultimately turned off. Groaning, she'd shook her head.
"No, no, noooo," she muttered, sadly.

*The elevator stopped in it's tracks, the lights flickering inside. Bill looks to the side, noticing that Will is having a fit about the malfunctioning elevator. Cameron also seems to be a bit worried. Bill is just standing there emotionless because he's not sure how to react to a elevator malfunction during an zombie apocalypse. Tilting his eyes to his right, seeing Will banging on the closed doors of the elevator while screaming. Bill looks to the ceiling of the elevator, deciding to launch himself up to it, and popping the opening up. Easily climbing up onto the roof of the elevator as if it was no challenge at all. The two had watched Bill do so in a matter of seconds, quite impressive agility Bill has. Bill's figure had faded into the blackness of the shaft, until he had showed his head down the latch.*
• Bill Brewer: "I see that the shaft is climbable if you two wish to join me? If not, I'll climb on up and pull the elevator up."
*The two literally dropping their jaws until Bill began to chuckle, and which lead to a burst of laughter.*
• Bill Brewer: "Nah, I'm jus' kiddin'... Theres no way you two are able to climb this shaft. Clearly they haven't been operated on for years, so malfunction is understandable."
*Bill then swiftly lands back inside the elevator, like a cat. Slightly kneeling after catching himself between the two. Bill steps back, and leans against the wall of the elevator, looking all bad ass.*
• Bill Brewer: "Well... In tha meantime, how 'bout we just chill 'till someone notices we're stuck here, ay?"

Cam's hand went immediately to the railing as the elevator shuddered to a halt. When it stopped and the doors didn't open, he looked at the other two. Then he watched as Bill jumped up through the maintenance hatch.
"Man, that was just like when he climbed the cage at the Octagon and then flipped into a kick that sent "Grimm" Vendoza to the hospital. Man, he's good."
Then he looked over at Will and smiled. "I'd go up there too if I wasn't wearing a white suit and all", he said in a fake superior tone.
When Bill came back in, and reported back, Cam sighed. He did have a bit of claustophobia, but it wouldn't kick in... unless they didn't get out of here in less than an hour. At that point, he would be scaling the walls with his fingernails.

"Well, I'm pretty sure my mom will worry and come looking for me. She's pessimistic at points, prolly think something terribly wrong has happened, thus sending my father up to get me. Happens every time," Will explained as she sighed and leaned her back up against the wall of the elevator.
She'd frowned and placed a hand on her stomach. "Never did get to eat those cheetoes...wish I would have, now," she mentioned, stomach growling. There was a long, awkward silence that stretched over the three. Will spent most of that time, thinking about Kevin and Raccoon City.
"Cameron, how many rest stops do you think we'll have to take before reaching Raccoon?" she asked.

Cam looked up at the corner of the elevator, recalling his travel plan.
"At least 3 planned in, depending on weather. It is a route that is taking us through the Rocky Mountains, but it will keep us from going through major metropolis' until we get to Denver. I've made a few adjustments that will have us skirt Denver, but that's going to add another 2 days... again depending on weather. Once we pass Denver, though it should be free sailing to Raccoon City."
"We travel during the day, and at night, we lock up tight and stay in the car. I can drive most of it, but you might be taking a shift or two. Once we reach Raccoon City, I say we start off at the airport. Most of the time, those are the safest area. We can get more news once we get there and then go in."
Cam shrugged. "We could fly, but the next flight out to Raccoon City is in 15 days. Too long of a wait, I thought, but it is up to you."

*Bill had been leaning against the wall, observing the two having a conversation among themselves. For the moment, they were speaking of things Bill had zero knowledge of. Mainly, Raccoon City. Bill didn't want to say anything in order to keep him from embarrassing himself from ignorance. However, Bill thought that since all three of them are constricted in the elevator shaft, might as well learn via conversation. Bill pulled his head up, and exchanging looks between the two as they continue their conversation. Bill suddenly spoke out.*
• Bill Brewer: "Uh, sorry guys, but I dunno whacha talkin' 'bout. Raccoon City? Where is that?"
*Both Will and Cam turned their eyes, to stare at Bill. They both having the facial expressions of disbelief. Although they soon learn that Bill's question is serious due to the fact that Bill kept a poker face the whole time. Bill noticing the two staring, and he shrugs while lifting his eyebrows to signal them that he's ignorant to the facts of Raccoon City.*

Will rubbed the back of her neck, anxiously. Bill really had no idea where or what was up with Raccoon City. Ground Zero. She'd knitted her brows together and cocked her head to the side, looking at him.
"Raccoon City is where the viral outbreak first began in 1998. It's also where my fiance had gone missing recently when he went there to get his sister. Cameron has to go there for his reasons and he's taking me with him so I can find my fiance," she explained.
She paused momentarily and sighed, raking a hand through her hair.
"Raccoon City is probably the most dangerous city in the entire world right now," she finished in a stern voice.

"I have a map in my room showing the route, but it is basically just southeast of the Rocky Mountains. There is a small range of mountains known as the Arklay Mountains and it is right at the edge."
He looked over at Will. "The agent I was talking to said that the military has made some ground in keeping sections contained and cleared, but only the airport is 100% undead free."
He didn't mention that was where he had intended to go. He needed to meet with that agent.
"We are leaving tomorrow and this party is where Will was going to tell her parents. From what I gather, they won't be keen on her going. Truck's all packed up except for a few items."
Cam's hands started to shake a little and his lips became dry. He was already feeling the effects of the claustophobia.

*Bill looks on, seeming to have a small understanding of what Raccoon City is. Knowing that it's the most has octane place in the world right now, and Bill has been feeling for some action. Noticing the fact that both of them are dead serious about their quest to Raccoon City, and Bill knew better than to even think of trying to convince them otherwise. Bill had pulled himself away from the wall, and stepped forth a bit to where both of them can see him clearly, and doing so to get their sole attention.*
• Bill Brewer: "I dunt often tell anyone this, but errsince this outbreak, I've lost touch with my family. Not havin' the slightest clue of where they are, or if whether they're alive or dead. Now that I am hearin' about this Raccoon City, the chances of them bein' there seem low. Although I see that you two feel you have to go there to rescue loved ones. Now, you two asked me to join you on this dinner. Now, I'm askin' you to lemme join your travel to Raccoon City. Just to give a helpin' hand to you both, since I can see desperation so clearly. Who knows, maybe I can find somethin' there. Like I said before, I doubt that anyone of my family could be there, but it won't hurt to try lookin', and I'm quite sick of bein' held here solely because I am celebrity. I would love to see this plague come to an end as much as the next guy, and I know that I am capable of doin' great things for the world."
*Bill had completed spilling his heart to both of them, during his speech, he had paced through the elevator, pausing in between each sentence to form the right words without hesitation. Before the two could muster any words, Bill spoke out once more.*
• Bill Brewer: "So whacha say?"

"That's a great idea, I mean if Will is up for it."
He knew that it would be tense at first, a woman taking a trip with 2 guys that she didn't know. But having another set of eyes and another gun on the trip couldn't hurt. They would have to get more food, but Cam always tended to hoard more than was necessary.
Plus it was Bill "The Crusader" Brewer. Before the outbreak he was on his way to MMA legend with 4 wins this year. His amateur record was 8 - 0. Not that boxing with a zombie was a good thing, but if they came across any raiders or thugs, having some muscle on their side would help.
"Bill, do you have your own car?"

*Bill looks over to Cam, with an astounded look on his face after hearing the question.*
• Bill: "I might, if not, I can steal one."
*Bill took a shot at humor due to the fact that they were confined, at least he tried to bring out some positive feedback. Although when he exchanged looks between the two, they both seem a bit disappointed that they were going to miss dinner. Bill decided that he would take off his jacket, and leap back up into the elevator shaft. The two watched, as Bill popped back his head, and spoke down to them.*
• Bill: "I'll be right back, I'mma climb outta here and find someone or somethin' to help you guys."
*Bill looks around the shaft as he pulled himself away from the roof hatch of the elevator. Determining how he was going to climb back up to the one of the doors, and how quickly he could do it. In a matter of seconds, Bill engaged on scaling the walls, looking professional as he does it, as if he's done it a thousand times. Climbing the shaft as if he were a monkey, and reaching one of the doors. He bangs on the crack, to damage it slightly, doing so for that he can pry the doors open with his raw power. As the door was shot open, light from the hallway had illuminated the elevator shaft, and Cam and Will can see light coming through the maintenance hatch. Bill had walked around the hallways, looking for something or someone to assist him.*

Will had looked up through the shaft Bill disappeared through. He'd just spilld his heart out to them right then and there. There was no way she could tell him it was too dangerous, besides, they already made it clear that it was. Cam had reminded her about her parents, now that was another weight on her shoulders.
"I don't mind if he comes, Cam. He sounds like he really wants to help. I could use all the help I can get, ya know?" she said, smiling thoughtfully at the man.
From up above, there were voices heard. "Mr. Brewer, are you sure my daughter is in there?! If I've told her once, I've told her twice to never ever take the elevator! They always screw up in the most inconvenient times, tell him, hon!" Mrs.Yates griped.
A masculine voice could be heard after a long sigh. "Elevators screw up in the most inconvenient times..." he repeated. He was a bit more concerned about their daughter than chastising her.

*As the two are stuck in the elevator, they hear a sudden whisp like sound. They were unsure of what it was. Bill had seemingly reached the roof of the elevator without making a sound, until Bill had thrown a rolling ladder inside the elevator, insisting them to climb up. This allowing them to climb out of the entire shaft, and out into the hallway.*
• Bill: "The ladder is braced from the hallway, and it's secure. Dunt worry about it snappin'. Alright, climb out you two."
*The rolling ladder was manufactured by chains, and steel rods as the rungs. It was highly durable, so it's safe to climb. Bill stayed on top of the elevator, holding his hand out to pull them up, so that they can grab onto the ladder to make their exit.*
