[[O.O.C: Louise is now at the London Airport. She's arrived from Raccoon City]]
The clouded city of London seemed so far away whilst flying ahead. Louise felt a sudden rush of happiness rush through her. London was her home town, she'd been away from it too long. The plane began to go down more. Louise saw the delight that was Big Ben from her window. A small glimpse of it from above the city also reminded her of her life their.
As the plane landed, Louise made her way inside the airport. It was more crowded than the one in Raccoon City. Yet - something was not right; these people seemed panicked over something. As Louise walked slowly through the crowds, she saw a TV above her on the second floor. A woman was stood near Big Ben; this was clearly filmed earlier as the sky was dark on the video. It was difficult to hear what the woman was saying, but a clip of a man...biting another man made Louise think. The outbreak has reached London.
Louise went to the main enterance of the airport, military soldier's guarded the doorway's. As Louise tried to walk past them, they pushed her to the ground. "No one leaves the airport lady - it's not safe!" said one of the soldiers. Louise wasn't sure who had said it as they all wore masks. Louise got to her feet and turned to see the apocalyptic airport. Was this London? Had the Outbreak reached here? Was this the end of the world as we know it?. Louise sat on the nearest seat and slowly began thinking of the shocking events that she had experienced in the last month...

[Previously] ~~~~~Getting away from Raccoon Cityas fast as possible seemed like a cowardly move on her part, but she had no idea what to do. Rey was lost, who knows where Joey was, Lisa, Raine, Logan. Everyone was gone, and she knew that when that man came looking for her. Thats why she left, there was nothing for her, no rescue. When she heard about the airport being open, she had to sneak in quickly and get out of America, before the infection claimed the whole. The plane she got on just happened to be going across the sea, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But being forced to remain inside the London terminal wasnt exactly the way she imagined it would be. But at least it was safe in here... ~~~~~[Enter Amanda, age 18] Amanda casually walked down the termal walkway, easily slipping by the crowded people, who all seemed to be focusing attention toward the monitors above them. As she neared the entrance, she looked toward the large glass windows to the outside of the airport. They werent going to let her go anywhere, but where would she go? She knew nobody in London, she was all alone among the other. Surely they would have some kind of refuge for young girls her age, but from the looks of things, priority was given toward making sure nobody left the area. As she neared closer to the entrance, she saw a woman being harassed by the men blocking the entrance. After she was pushed to the ground, she sat down in one of the closest seats. Amanda walked over, and sat in the seat next to her, and curiously looked up. "...You got somewheres you gotta be?"Amanda was told never to talk to strangers, but being through the Raccoon City outbreak, she couldnt possibly get herself into any worse danger. Perhaps she was being nosey towards the lady, but it cant be helped when the guards are making a scene. Making friendly conversation was what she was good at, even in the toughest of situations she can mix herself in with any crowd. "Oh! Sorry... My names Amanda. Amanda Knowlins. I hope you dont mind the company..." Amanda wouldnt be a bother if this woman had a problem with her, but she really needed to tag along with someone. She also looked like she was from around the area, meaning she would hopefully have a home to stay in. Even if it was just until she got her bearings...

Louise looked to her side to see the young girl sitting next to her. She was very young, even younger than the guard she saw back in Raccoon. Louise didn't make eye contact with the girl to begin with; as it would look rude. Suddenly the girl spoke. "...You got somewheres you gotta be?". Louise's head shot round to the girl - was it her that spoke?. As Louise finally made eye contact with the girl, she spoke again. "Oh! Sorry... My names Amanda. Amanda Knowlins. I hope you dont mind the company..."
Louise smiled at the girl; Louise hadn't had company since she was in Raccoon City, it would be nice. "No, i don't mind Amanda. My name's Louise. Louise then remembered the girl's first question. "Yes i do - well, i think i do. Hopefully it's still around". Louise turned and looked at the crowds of people, the panic in their faces made Louise feel guilty. Maybe if she'd got home sooner, things would be different. Louise then decided to consider the girl next to her, she turned to her and asked "So, what are you doing here? You're accent sounds American? Am i right?". Louise hoped that her knowledge on accents was right, if it wasn't, she'd have to apologise to the girl.

"American, yep... I came here from Raccoon City, hoping to find some sort of refuge. Im one of the rare survivers of the first outbreak... But please try to keep that on the down low..." Amanda was glad to find someone who she could stick around with, even though she herself was 18, and technically an adult. Was still wondering why they wouldnt let the people inside the terminal leave, its not like were putting them in danger. If we were willing to take that sort of risk, we were ready for it. Or at least, she was, she wasnt certain if Louise had known much about the outbreak. But that wasnt important, the important bit was getting her where she needed to go. "I dunno about you, but I think im ready to get out of here... I got an idea..."
Amanda rose from the seat, and motioned for Louise to here. She moved into the crowd rushing down the walkway, slicing through the people and into the curiously empty female bathroom. She ran to the back of the bathroom, and then looked at the wall. Using her sneaker, she kicked out the glass from the fire alarm, and then pulled the red handle down tightly. Within the next second, a loud alarm filled the whole airport, causing the people to move in panic, but not much changed from there actions before. Amanda ran out of the bathroom, locking the door from the inside behind her to that the guards would have to break the door down to access the switch. She ran through the people, passing by the men that once guarded the doors to the outside, now left completely open.
"Louise! Lets go, hurry!" Amanda failed her arm into the air, making sure her new friend saw what was going on as she held the door open. The both of them ran outside into the intrance way of the terminal, but escape did come easy, as there was four men chasing them from inside the airport. As the both of them had a head start running down the sidewalks of the building, the soldiers seemed to slow down. Let them go... We have to guard the doors! Amanda heard them shout out from behind, and she knew it was time for a rest. Slowing down and then leaning against a nearby parked car, she looked up at Louise, who seemed to be pretty exausted from the suddon rush of action. *Huff* "Alright... Now... How do we... Get to where you need to go?"

Louise caught her breath for a moment. She turned her head back at the air port, it was safer inside there. Yet Louise thought that her and Amanda's meeting was a blessing; Louise did come to find her parents - yet would they be alive if the outbreak was that bad.
Louise sat up straight and looked around the car park. "We need a ride" she said, still glancing at the cars near her. None seemed to be unlocked, unless there was a hacking system which would allow her to drive a car without a key; they were walking. As Louise moved around the car park, she looked at a bridge which over looked the airport. A woman, wearing a large hat and glasses was running. Louise only caught a glimpse of the woman, as Louise tried to make out what the woman was running from, she saw behind her, a group of people following her. Lousie knew them straight away - after her experience in Raccoon - they were zombies. Louise watched the woman running - and knew what was going to happen. The woman was running to the airport, and she would get refuge - herself and Amanda were completely exposed to the creatures.
Sure enough, the woman managed to get into the airport. Louise turned to Amanda "Let's get out of this car park, we need to get a car and get to my house." Louise turned the corner and suddenly, a zombie jumped on her. Louise struggled as the creature's mouth opened to reveal the stench of it's breath and the blood smeared on it's teeth. Louise pushed the creature's head upwards and kicked it away. Louise got to her feet and saw it get back up. She then saw the other horde's of zombies heading towards them. "Amanda, can you get access to a car?". Louise awaited a reply with her gun held as the zombies movied closer to them...

Amanda nearly jumped out of her skin when the infected had attacked Louise, but then came to her senses when she had asked the question. She looked down onto the bottem level, and saw a four by four truck parked near the exit. "Come on, down to the next floor!" She ran from the oncoming undead, and kicked open a swinging door into a staircase leading down. Quickly skipping steps to reach the bottem, she looked back up to make sure Louise was still following. She was in very good shape, and was keeping up just fine. As Amanda pushed open the door into the bottem area, she spotted the truck past a small group of zombies. Looking at the gun in Louises hand, she knew she had the advantage. "You be my cover... Please try not to shoot me!"
Amanda quickly ran to the side of the group, as the all lunged toward her. She was small, and dodging them was fairly easy for her. After rolling a couple of feet, she rose up and placed her hand on the truck door. Backing up a few steps, she rushed herself forward, kicking in the window. Ive been hanging around Logan too long. After climbing through and brushing the glass onto the floor, she unlocked the drivers side door, and then scrambled for the keys. They were luckly located in the dashboard of the vehicle. Amanda snatched them, and then drove the car key into the ignition. She sat in the passenger side, waiting for Louise to get in. It wasnt that she didnt have her licence, but she honestly wasnt used to the whole right side driving.
After hearing a few gunshots, Amanda looked out of the back window, and saw Louise fighting through the group with ease. After she seemed to have taken care of the infected, Amanda poked her head out of the window, and looked back. "Get in, you drive us there!..." Louise knew where this place was, so it was an obvious choice to let her drive.

Louise looked towards the car and saw Amanda's face pearing out of the window. Louise guessed that it'd be best if she was the one driving as she knew London like the back of her hands. She jumped into the vehicle and slammed the door shut. Louise fastened her seat belt and suddenly realised - "No keys". She looked at Amanda and saw a set of keys in her hand. Louise smiled and took them; she started up the car and drove the car away from the airport. [[O.O.C: Now in Notting Hill; is it okay if i make the first post as this one wasn't that long? ]]

*GZZZZZAAARRR* A sudden rumbling could be felt inside of the chopper. The Engine seemed to cough a little and picked right back up. Some smears of blood splattered on the front of the chopper’s wind shield. Bishop let out a surprised whistle Always wondered what runnin dead birds through a fan would sound like. Don’t worry was just a small bird strike. Bishop said calmly. He didn’t wear a helmet, only his head set. He flicked a switch on the console and the wipers began to engage. The doors of the chopper were closed as there had been reports of “flying dead” in the area. The sky was a dark gray color, which wasn’t a very good sign. In other news, we’ve arrived over London, I’m set to drop ya anywhere. Where ya want me to drop ya. Bishop asked over the intercom to the soldiers sitting behind him. He wasn’t exactly sure where he was taking them, as just like always, he was told he would “receive further instructions upon arrival.” So he just kept them flying forward looking down at the city below and the sky.

"Your gonna drop us there." Middleton said through the headset he had put on at the beginning of the trip. Sure enough, as the chopper neared the tarmac, a flight controller was seen waving the flashlights with orange cones on the tip. He motioned to a spot of empty pavement for Bishop to land, and within a minute the chopper was on the ground.
The team piled out of the chooper and formed an orderly line as they waited for Middleton to order them around. In the distance, a military truck could be seen coming to pick them up.
"You get refueled and get going. Give us recon of the area and take out any big threats before we get there!" He yelled to Bishop over the roar of the engine. He then turned back to the TFP soldiers just as the truck met them. "All of you, in the truck!" He yelled equally loud. Everyone piled in without a moments notice, Middleton being the last on. "Go." He yelled through the tarp at the driver's open back window. The truck began moving toward the Parliment building.

It wasn't but 5 seconds after the order to refuel was given that a hose from a large fuel truck was being dragged over to the Vulture. The jammed it in quickly and a loud snap could be heard when it clicked into place. Bishop leaned back in his chair for a moment, and picked up a can of Dr. Pepper that was laying next to 5 others in the in the co-pilot seat. He quickly began drinking it, as he moved his hand over the GPS attachment to the HUD.
He scanned the city going over streets. "Wonder where there goin" he thought to himself as he panned over the city. He had a little yellow dot showing the truck, but he wasn't sure where it was going specifically. It didn't take him much longer to figure it out. He took another big drink from the can and saw that the truck was heading for the Parliament building. "Looks like i'm goin to parliament." Bishop thought to himself, finishing the can.
There was a sudden shake in the entire chopper, as the British soldiers unhooked the hose to his chopper. One of them came by the from of the chopper, spinning his finger pointing up, meaning your good to go.
Bishop opened his door, and dropped the empty can on the ground. He slammed the door quickly and began his ascent. The giant rotor of the UH-60 Blackbird with rocketpod attachment began to make a more high pitched sound as it lifted into the air. The can beneath the chopper blew down the run way as the Vulture hit 20 feet. He quickly reached an ideal altitude and began moving forward, to see if he couldn't get to parliament first.

Louise felt the car's speed, it was driving very fast. Amanda was looked around as the car turned towards the airport. Louise spoke, still keeping an eye on the road "John won't be joining us, he fell behind." Louise pushed the thought of John aside, she couldn't let it bother her, she'd think about him another time. All that mattered now was getting to the airport so she could board a plane to Egypt, the safest place to be at the moment.
The car stopped on the airport car park, Louise turned the engine off and looked at Amanda "Okay, we were chased out of here before...we need to get back in." said Louise, her eyes fixated on Amanda. "I'm thinking that everywhere will be sealed off apart from the front. We should go through the front" although Louise said it, she had no idea how they'd do it. The officers chased Amanda and Louise out of the airport before, there was no way she'd be getting inside. As she looked around the car park, she saw how empty it was, which was a good thing.
Suddenly a plane emerged from behind the airport, it had a small picture of a sun on it - which obviously was used for the summer. The plane went slowly further away, it was certain that the airport was the safest place in London now, the creatures hadn't taken over it. Louise turned back to Amanda "How do you think we should approach this?"

Amanda sat fairly quiet the whole trip, this whole thing was getting out of hand. She had been traviling with Louise the whole time, she was the only one left now. Amanda had thought about going back to Raccoon City, Joey was still alive, she knew it. There wasnt a doubt in her mind that he was, he had got her out of the mess before. And wherever Joey was, Rey would be there too, her best friend. But going back to Raccoon City was a little out of the question, going back there would be suicide, unless she was certain where Joey was.
Amanda looked at Louise as they left the car, she left the shotgun and pistol inside, theirs no way they would be getting it aboard the plane, even in all the chaos. She could see the guards eyeing them both, routine to the fact that infected can just walts by anytime. "Leaves you guns in the car, we cant take them with us..."
But Amanda had an idea, as they approached the guards in front of the doors. Reaching for the knife in her back pocket, she cut a little slit in her backside, and then tossed the knife away, they didnt notice. Walking up to the guards, they didnt recognise either of the girls, which was a good thing. But of them grabbed Amandas arm, and then raised her shirt, showing the bleeding cut. "I got that coming out of the car, its clean... Ugh!" The guard looked at Louise, and then spoke in a stern fashion. "Miss, please escort this young woman to the restroom, then board the plane immediately after your through... Dont hold up the lines..." Amanda looked at Louise and smiled.

Louise felt herself smile inside, it truely was great to have Amanda with her, if Louise lost it, Amanda would be there for her. Louise smiled back as they walked through the doors of the airport. It was still pretty packed out, many people sat around, their voices could be heard from all over. Louise looked down to the floor, her insides where rumbling...she was worried. Worried about getting caught, everytime she saw a guard she thought he was going to pounce on them at any second. Louise kept moving until she came to the "flight" sign. Her eyes stared backward and forth for Egypt, she was suprised to see that there was only two flights to Egypt boarding in the next few hours. So, there's one whole hour to wait...
Louise turned back to Amanda, as she glanced around she saw a little girl sat with her father, they both looked very worried - it made Louise think of her parents. Her mother, dead. God knows where her father was...how very mysterious he turned out to be. Louise's eyes met Amanda's once again she spoke soflty "One hour, and we're out of here." Louise hoped that they'd be able to keep their heads down until the flight. Louise looked around "Maybe we should go and get something from the cafe, it's still opened." Louise began walking towards the Cafe, she knew Amanda would follow because they hadn't eaten since leaving her home.
Louise entered the cafe, it was pretty full but there were people still serving food and drinks. Louise and Amanda walked to the counter. "Erm...do you have a glass of coke or something?" said Louise to the small petite lady behind the counter. Louise looked at Amanda "Is there anything you want?"

Amanda and Louise were able to get through the doors fine, it was as easy that. However, the first stop on her list would be the bathroom, just to make sure the cut wasnt too bad. She wasnt stupid, but mistakes happen just as easy, and its better to be safe then sorry. Amanda nodded and smiled when she heard that it was only an hour to the next flight. It was very astonishing to see how trusting and prepared they were here at the airport. Letting survivers take to other places around the world, even with the infection rate as high as it is.
As they walked up to the Cafe, Louise had asked for a coke, and then if Amanda would like anything. She eyed the loafs of bread on the counter, and suddonly craved for a nice sandwich. Simple and filling. "Ham and cheese full, please... But hey, im gonna head to the bathroom, you grab a table here, and ill meet up with you soon..." Amanda nodded and then walked off, their wasnt any bathrooms in the Cafe, but the main ones werent too far away. Entering the left corner, she walked up to the mirror, and then lifted the bottem part of her shirt up, reveiling the cut.
Wiping away the blood with a sheet of paper towel, Amanda cleaned away the wound, and found that it wasnt that bad anyways. After she made sure it was all fine, there was another female rushing into the bathroom behind her. She looked up at Amanda, and then spoke in a quiet by fast voice. "Please, dont tell them im in here!... I just need ten minuts alone, thats all..." Amanda raised an eyebrow, but before questioning the woman, she head a noise outside the bathroom. Fixing her shirt, she walked back outside, and then saw three security guards outside the doorway. They asked her in a stern voice. "Miss, did you see another woman in there? Long red hair?"
Amanda put on a clueless face, and went along with the girls plea. "No, I havent... But I think I saw a redheaded woman leaving not long ago..." The guards then nodded and thanked Amanda before running off to the front entrance. She smiled to herself, and then went back inside the bathroom. As she entered, Amanda spoke lightly. "Its ok, kiddo..." But the place was empty. Turning to rush back out into the main area, she was the same girl walking into a large crowd near the terminal. Shaking her head in confusion, she wondered if what she did was a good thing.
Not spending too much time on it, she walked back to the cafe, and saw Louise sitting in a booth in the corner. Amanda waved as she was went moved closer and then into the opposite side of the table, looking at the sandwich. Picking it up with one hand, she took a bite, and then swallowed. "This is great, thanks a lot, Louise! Hopefully with wasnt too expensive. I mean, I wouldnt see them charging customers in the mist of the outbreak and all, but..." Amanda trailed off, it was different. Seemed like only yesterday she was involved in the previous Raccoon City incident, its been so long. How would Egypt fair out? She would find out soon enough...
