The gigantic clock tower stands above the entire city. Access is limited, as it was closed to tourists long ago. It is unguarded, but no weapons can be found here.

As the car drove up to Big Ben, Amanda opened her eyes and then looking over at Louise, who was driving. She hadnt even noticed that she fell asleep, she mustve been more tired then she thought. Amanda rubbed her eyes before looking out of the front window at the large, tower like structure. She recognized this place from photos, it was the famous clocktower in London, but the name escaped her at the moment. As Louise turned the car off, Amanda looked over at her, and then spoke out in a drowsy voice. "Where are we? Ive seen this place before on TV, and in magazines..." Amanda grabbed her makeshift spear, and then left the car. After both doors slammed shut, she turned to look at Louise, waiting for a response.

Louise held her knife in the air - she was ready for anything. The bridge and the tower itself seemed to empty, but, giving Louise's experiences, anything could jump out at any minuite. Louise turned to Amanda and spoke "It's Big Ben, the largest clock tower in the world." Louise looked up at the amazing architecture, the fact that the clock was still going made Louise feel a sense of realism. She turned to Amanda again "The Houses of Parliament is were we can find shelter. In fact i won't be suprised if someone is alive in there". Louise moved forward towards the building, her eyes sharp and ready for anything. For a moment, Louise wondered if the House of Parliament was a good idea, it could be more infested than any other building in London, but then again, it could be the safest place in London. As Louise ignored her mind's doubts, she heard a scuttling at the side of the bridge.
Louise twisted around, it didn't sound like it came from behind her, but she couldn't be to careful. The scuttling started again, Louise leaned over the side of the bridge and saw two dog-like creatures. Their sticky skin glistened and shined as they ran around in the sun. Louise looked carefully at the creatures, they were fighting over what seemed to be...a hand? Louise turned to Amanda "I think that they're zombies." Weird as it sounded, it seemed true. Louise turned back to the direction of the clock tower, suddenly a thundering noise came from the ground. Louise held her knife in the air, the thudding sounded like elephants running. From the distance, Louise saw 3...no...4...no...9 of the sticky dog-like creatures running towards her and Amanda. "Damn! Back in the car" Louise turned and ran for the car, her heart pounding as the dogs' thundering seemed to get closer.

Amanda looked at the building, it seemed to be secure enough. The concrete walls of beauty were aimed in her eyes only to be unbreakable walls between them and the undead. "Looks like a good place to me..." She walked toward the bridge, but about halfway through, she heard the same noise as Louise did. Backing away, she say the dogs sprinting across, theyre razor teeth dripping with a bloody mixture of red saliva. "Sh*t! Go! Get outta here!" As they barked wildly in rage, Amanda gasped and then turned around to run. Louise was screaming for her to get back in the car, but for Amanda, it wasnt possible. She ran away from the lot and then jumped on top of a wrecked transport truck, and climbed her way onto the roof.
Keeping her legs away from the side, Amanda sat on the truck, watching the dogs try to jump up, but they couldnt make it. She tried to define the word 'safe', but she figure 'trapped' was a more approprite term for the situation. The only thing that would be able to help was her spear, and that was locked inside the car with Louise, who was gazing out of the window. But against the beasts, it wouldnt do a thing. Amanda rose to her feet and screamed at the top of her lungs toward the car. "Go find help!! Ill be fine! Drive!" She looked down and saw that the dogs had made a large dent in the side of the truck now, from ramming into it over and over again. Amanda looked back at the car and waved, motioning for Louise to go, with her hands repeatedly.

Louise gasped in horror as she saw the savage dogs speed towards the car Amanda was hiding in. Louise glared at the wrecked vehicle and awaited for Amanda to emerge. Suddenly she heard "Go find help!! Ill be fine! Drive!". Louise's mind began to race off again. Should i leave her?, she told herself. Louise knew that she could not fight the dogs, but she couldn't leave Amanda alone. Louise looked back at Amanda and saw her waving for Louise to go. Louise knew Amanda could handle herself, it would be best if she went to find some ammunition at least. Louise turned to start up the car, as she placed the key in the key hole(?) she saw yellow teeth and red eye's glaring at her through the window. It was one of the creatures, it's kneck was gone, just the spinal cord keeping it together. Louise started the car and drove fast, the dog fell to the right and off the car, she looked through the wing mirror to see that some of the dogs were chasing her, at least some of them were off Amanda's back...

(?: Ignition. Where the key goes to start the engine.)
Amanda saw the car drive away, as she stood closer to the edge of the truck for a good 20 minuits before deciding it was safe enough to leave. After jumped back down onto flat ground, Amanda crouched down and kept close behind the truck. At any second, there could be another one nearby, and then things would definitly be out of hand. Hopefully Louise wouldnt be gone too long before she found a gunshop in the area, or somewhere to get a weapon. Searching police cars was always a good option for getting small firearms, they usually kept an extra pistol in the glove compartment, or better yet, a shotgun above the drivers seat. She wasnt sure if that was just in America, but she had faith in Louise.
Amanda saw all the dogs leave her sight, and she knew it was safe to go out of hiding. She ran back across the bridge toward the large clocktower that Louise had called "Big Ben", seemed like an approprite name for it, it was very large indeed. She walked to the front doors and then placed her hands on the handles, but they wouldnt budge. The door simply wouldnt open, it seemed like it either needed a certain key, or a large force to get inside. Amanda ran off to the side of Big Ben, try see if there was a side door they could use. But then she heard movement back across the bridge, and saw another pack of dogs prowling around and sniffing the air. They either noticed her, or Louise was nearby.

Louise drove the car down the bridge. Her mind raced away trying to remember where Louis' Gun Shop was again. She was lucky, it was right near the bridge. As Louise searched the shops at the bottom of the bridge, she saw that the dogs had gone. She couldn't see any of them. Louise worried for a moment, had they gone back to Amanda? Or had they found something else to chew on? Louise stopped in her tracks as she came across the gun shop. It's open sign flashing in the window. Louise saw that many of the bulbs in the shop had been smashed. She got out of the car and walked slowly towards the store. Strangely enough, it looked pretty deserted. In fact, it looked like the owner could still be inside, it was sealed up and nothing had been touched inside. Louise tried the door handle, as she suspected, it was locked. Louise tried to push the door open with all her might, it wouldn't budge. There wouldn't be a way around the back as it was right near the lake. Louise turned around and sat back in the car. She didn't know what to do. She needed to get in that gun shop. Louise decided that she'd have to smash it open, but as quietly as she possibly could. She began to search the car for something strong enough. Louise opened the glove box and began searching; there was nothing other than old Celine Dion CD's. She turned around and there it was - shining in front of her, as if it was waiting for her to find it - a baseball bat. Louise grabbed it and got out of the car. She couldn't believe her luck, it was strange enough that the car happened to have the keys in it, but it was even stranger that the car had a weapon as well.
Louise smashed the door window in. It was a large framed door. It only had little bits of wood as a border for the glass. Louise waited for any movement inside - nothing. She stepped inside, holding the bat high incase of sudden movement. Louise spoke gentley "Hello?" No one replied. Louise began to look around at the guns in the shop. It was just what they needed. Louise saw a Remington 1100, she'd used one of them in Raccoon City during the outbreak. She grabbed one and filled it with 8 rounds from behind the counter. Louise wondered what kind of gun Amanda would like, Louise grabbed as many boxes of bullets as she could for the shotgun. She then grabbed another Remington in case Amanda would like to use one. She also grabbed two Browning Hi-Power pistols, she figured that Amanda would be able to use these. She then searched for bullets behind the counter. Louise knew that the shop would always be open, so she didn't grab too many things.
Louise trailed outside with the guns and bullets. She placed them in the back of the car along with bat. Louise got back inside the car and drove back up towards the bridge. Moving slowly, Louise searched around for the dogs, they were around the bridge for sure, but she didn't know where. Louise's head moved around slowly as she looked to her right she saw them - this time only 3 dogs. They stared at her with hunger through their eyes. Louise drove away as fast as she could, knowing that the creatures were close behind her.
As the car went at full speed, Louise could see a small framed girl trying to get through the doors near Big Ben. It was Amanda, she'd got out of the car. Louise stopped the car and grabbed for the Remington in the back. She opened the door to the car and saw the three dogs heading in her direction. Louise held the gun high and was about to shoot. Aim for the head, they'll be the same as those zombies. Aim for the head. Louise shot one of them in the head, it collapsed to the ground with a slight wail. Louise then shot the other two and they did exactly the same. The dogs were dead, and Louise and Amanda seemed to have the upper hand right now. Louise turned away to see if any more dogs were heading in her direction. The bridge was unsettlingly quiet, Louise was used to the sound of traffic and people screaming at each other on this bridge, but it was...dead. Louise turned away and saw Amanda was running towards her and the car. "I got you some weapons in the back!"

Amanda saw Louise take out the dogs, and then yell to her that there was guns in the back. She had came back just in time too, without a weapon, she wouldve been done for. But she didnt think of that, just that Louise was back, and she was now perfectly safe. "Great timing..." Running the side of the car, she opened up the door, and grabbed the two handgun. Really, he only learnt how to use one, so she really had double the magazines if she alternated betweLen them. One was a different model then the other, as the first one she picked up held 18 round, while the second held 15. Thirty Three shots before she had to fill them up again. Putting the guns into her beld, she grabbed the ammo from them, and stuffed them inside her pockets.
Then seeing the leftover shotgun, she grabbed that, and the larger box of shells for it. Amanda slid the shotgun into her hoody behind her back, where it fit nice and snug, and ready to be taken out quickly. She had honestly never had this much firepower in her possesion before, but she knew she could handle it on her own. Leaving the rest of he ammo for backup, and for Louise, Amanda walked over to her, and spoke. "Louise... You know the area better then I do, why dont you lead? There got to be people left alive in here..."

Louise looked down at the dead dogs. Their sticky skin was glistening in the sunlight, Louise knelt down to take a closer look - the dogs' insides became more clear, it made Louise feel sick. The company...this stupid nightmare company that had created the destruction needed to pay for al they had done, despite the fact that they'd tried to kill her, they were dogs, as the undead zombies were once human.
Louise got back to her feet and glanced around the area, she tried to breath in the fresh air, but all she got was the smell of fresh decay. Louise turned to Amanda "I think we need a plan from now on." she said with no emotion. "I think we need to try and leave London as fast as possible, in order to do that; we need a internet connection, maybe that will help us figure out which countries are safe and which aren't." Louise threw her gun in the back of the car and sat back in the main driving seat. "There's a school near here, they should have computers there." Louise placed the key into the ignition and drove towards the school.
