Marissa drooped her rifle and picked the boy up. "I got the kid" She told robert and she took her rifle and aimed it with one arm to clear one more Walker out the way. She walked up the stair to the rooftop. "Its alright, bud, we're gonna get you out of here. Her iPhone was going off. Sh*t! not now! It was a ringtone of sypathy for the devil. "I need you to follow up on me, Rob!" She shouted. she dropped the rifle and radioed in. "We have a survivor, age 9. Me and Rob are exfil to the Titan. How Copy?"
Andrew and Lilly could here gun shots. After the first room they cleared, Andrew cleared the next room. He turn the knob slowly. It was unlocked. He flatten himself against the wall. He pointed to Lilly at were he wantd her and nodded to her if she was ready. She was ready. He kicked the door lightly that it swung open. When she lt him know that the front was cleared he swung around and checked the room. The bathroom was nothing but blood. "We have a survivor, age 9. Me and Rob are exfil to the Titan. How Copy?" Andrew cocked a brow How copy? What??? He reached for his radio on his back. He had gotten it from the labor camp when he was captured known as 'mouth of hell' He cleared his throat. "Gotchya. He's not bit is he?" He waited several of seconds then "This...This isn't happening..." Andrew paused at those words. "Come again?" he asked. "Damnit, I don't know! Let me get the kid to the Convory, will ya? out." Andrew was starting to wonder about Marissa now. Cuts on her arms now she was talking to her self. "Next room"
Marissa could feel herself being compramised slowly. She set the boy down. "Ok we're gonna go down a ladder," She wipped the tears off the child as Rob followed up. "I'm going to give you a piggy back ride, so you need to hold on tight." the boy nodded. She smiled the best she could at the boy and she knelt down, wrapping around her neck. She started to climb the down the rope. "This...isn't real..." She shook what she said then grunted. "I'm a marine. Train to adapt." she finally said.

Lilly turned to look at Andrew as he responded to the Marissa. A BOY! There was still hope that Lilly would find her family. They were evac-ing to the Titan.
Lilly felt a lump in her throat at what that meant. They possibly couldn't check out the rest of the hotel... which meant her family would remain lost.
"Let's go, Andrew, we can meet them at the top."
Lilly exited the third room and looked back down the hallway. She was about to head back to the stairs when something caught her eye... a flash of white cloth. At first she thought it was a ghost, but as her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, she saw that it was a mass of zombies heading in their direction. Beyond them, she saw that the door leading to the stairs on the other side of the hotel was off its hinges. Zombies were pouring in.
"Andrew, we got company!" Lilly said as she started to fire her rifle. Though she was tempted to, she kept it on Semi-Automatic Fire, not wasting ammo. The problem with this horde is that there were two levels of them... the walkers and the crawlers. You had to aim at two different locations to kill them.
Walking backwards, she continued to fire at the horde. Within a few minutes, she felt the wall. Shooting her glance to the left, she saw that stair door was to her left.
"Marissa, Robert, you have about 3 minutes until your route to the roof is cut off. Move it."
Lilly continued to fire, stopping only once to drop an empty mag and load in another one.
Then it happened.
She saw a familiar face in the crowd... and then another... and then another. Her heart dropped and for a second, she quit firing, not wanting to believe her eyes.
The next row of undead was being led by her family. They had bite marks all over their body and black blood stained their faces.
"NO, NO NO NO NO", Lilly was only vaguely aware that she was screaming, ripping her throat. Then she began to fire with wild abandon. She wanted to run, but she felt like her feet were rooted in place... so she just kept firing.

Marissa's PTS was starting to take grib.. She was fighting so hard to stay aware, for the boy's life. They were already on the roof top. "No..." Her eyes dart left to right then back at Robert. "WE NEED TO MOVE!" three minutes was all they had. When they got to the roof top they started to get to the rope.
Andrew was holding the second wave off. Great, looks like they didn't leave the area He heard screams loud enough to peice the Inn. He turn and saw Lilly spraying. Looked like she was breaking more emotionally. "Lady!" He shouted to her. He ran towards her but felt a sharp pain at his leg that he tripped. "F--K!" He glanced at hisleg and saw it was a bullet wound. It seems that it richoted back at him. He got up, ignoring the pain. He took a frag he picked up at the airport and tossed one one the first wave moving. He was frustrated just enough with the bullet wound that he smacked her acrossed her face. Something Andrew wouldn't do to a women. "Get you're s*** to you're head, Lilly! We need to fall back!" He grabbed her by her hand tight enough and pulled her to the steps. he let his P90 hang on his sling and reached for his radio. "We'll pulling back, now." he place his radio back. "Are you able to go ahead of me?" He asked Lilly. She seemed terrafied. He slammed her to the wall, shaking her out of it a bit. "Are you able to go ahead of me?" He asked again.

Robert tossed Marrissa the keys before she went down the ladder. "I'll help those two and keep an eye on you guys on the ladder, get the boy to safety." Robert said as he looked down and saw the area by the Titan undisturbed. He shifted his gaze from the boy and woman going down the ladder to the door on the roof. Hearing the blast of a frag coming from the next floor down, he took one more look at the two almost down the ladder.
They got to the ground when he ran for the door just as Lilly and Andrew emerged. Lilly's face had changed since he saw her and he had that bad feeling hit him. "over to the next building I'll cover you two, i got plenty of ammo" he screamed as they closed the distance. Firing in burst with the P90 taking as many as he could, while they were pouring out.
______________________________________________
LIW-9 was hiding on the other building when he saw his son, a strong young man with all the smarts of his mother, getting the kid to safety. then two of his companions burst through the inn roof door as two were making their way to the roof he was currently on and the boy and woman were getting into the truck on the ground. His boy was braving the horde protecting his friends.
through the gun fire he heard a distant rumbling and he felt his time in control was ending. He made a running jump over to the Inn roof and landed just to the right of Robert taking out a crawler. Robert just got onto the rope as LIW took out a few zombie pursuing. any consciousness left in him was now only a on-looker to what LIW-9 then did.
___________________________________________________
As Robert climbed he saw the creature his father had become helping them but then a shift in the way it moved seemed odd to him. the thing was relentlessly slaughtering anything that got close with all abandon. Tears formed on his eyes but at least he had the closure he wanted just not anything he could've ever dreamed of.

Marissa open the door to the Titan and sat the boy down. She looked at him with tears. "I'll be in that ally way over there, Ok, bud? I won't be far." She shut the door and ran over to the ally, sitting at the mouth conceild. "Its....Not Real...." She muttered again and again pouring with tears. Marissa started to pulling her medication out for her PTS. Her hands were terrably shaking. "I'm not going back....I'm not..."
Andrew had pretty much carried her the rest of the way. When he set her down. he looked over at the BOW then back at Robbert, he had to take a double take. The BOW and Robert almost kinda looked alike by the their face features. It struck him. One more look and he had tears. Both Lilly and Robert were emotionally Comppromised, but not as bad Lilly had it down stairs. "Come on, Twobit," He said, finally using his nickname. "Let get the boy safe." He told him. He started to get dizzy from blood lose. He grabbed Robert by his shoulder gently, letting Lilly cross the ropes. "It's buying us more time..." He criged at the word "It" since "It" was a human at one point. He started for the ropes and climbed it.

Lilly only vaguely recognized that she was being slapped by Andrew and that he was dragging her to the stairs. She kept pulling the trigger, even though it was empty. The click click click kept sounding.
"That was my family. They were all dead... I killed them." Her face was white and ashen and though she was supporting herself now and climbing the stairs, it seemed that she was locked in a bad dream that she couldn't get out of.
At the roof top, she seemed to come out of it. Looking over at Andrew, she noticed for the first time that he had been shot. {i]Had she shot him, [/i] she thought.
"I'm sorry." That was all that she could manage to say. Right now, her training was all that she could rely on to get her through this.
Lilly saw Robert and heard him shout something about covering them. Looking back, she realized that the undead were probably just a few seconds behind them. They had blown the lock off the door getting in, so there was no way to stop them from getting to the roof. Lilly loaded her last mag into the AR-15 and then went to the edge. She slung the weapon over her shoulder and attached her rope to her harness. Robert was covering the door and Andrew was with him.
"Where's Marissa?"

Marissa had clutched her pistol and rocked back and forth. It had been a minute since her medication was in here system. "This...this is a night...mare..." she heard footsteps. Her heart was pounding. She started to say some preyers. Her hands trembled with Post Tramatic Stress, loosing all her sanity gone. Back in basic, any soldier who had join any branch was tought the dangers and signs of PTS. She etched her way to the mouth of the ally a bit and looked at the Titan. They hadn't made it back yet. There was more shuffling own the ally. She got up and looked down the far end of the ally. She could see Children...zombiefied children, her mind racing back to 1998 when she had a rescue mission...when she was his...when she couldn't save the little girl. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She shouted, shooting aimlessly.
Andrew looked down she could see Marissa on the ground aiming at nothing. then he looked furthur down he could see about 15-20 kids down below all well about their teens "Get away!" she yelled in frantic tears. This mission was going bad and Andrew was the only able person. Again, he realized it. The cuts on her Arms and the what ever she was saying. When Andrew was in Raccoon City on the day of the outbreak, they had called it Raccoon's insanity-another idiotic term for Post Tramatic Stress. Judgeing by her conditions, she had it badly. He pulled another pin to a fragmentation grenade, cooking it dearingly and throwing it. It exploded in mid air above the walk on of the dead class, few started to crawl. Andrew started to shoot the remaining survivors. Andrew started to pant I need biofoam, and quick He got the harness on him and followed Lilly.
Marissa watched at the young zombies were dismembered by the exsplosion and picked off by the sounds o a sub machine gun. She looked up and saw Andrew and he walked away. She wasn't going to have enough time to recover her sanity back. "I...I...I to get out...of here..." She crawled back to the wall and sat there by the mouth of the ally doing her well best to cover the Titan..

slowly getting to his feet on the opposite roof, Robert looked at Lilly's pale face. the blank face told Robert the bad news, and with his own bad news he looked back at his father fighting zombies. Then it hit him to get back into that survival mode, his father if he was still in there would be sorely disappointed if he let the boy in the Titan die.
"Lilly, We have to go!" yelled Twobit as he pet a new clip into the P90 and assisted his father. Then he heard Andrew's grenade go off in the alley. With ringing ears and the sound of a thunder he grabbed Lilly and started for the ladder. One last look at what his father had become he saw a helicopter coming towards them from the forests.
___________________________________________________
By the time Robert had made it half way down the ladder the beast inside had fully sedated any conscious thought. LIW-9 went wild and didn't even noticed the helicopter nor the 5 darts sticking out of his chest. In no time LIW-9 was heavily sedated and not moving the zombies ran after the fresh flesh and most fell to their deaths. Two men in merc. armor came down and harnessed the creature in 15 foot long steel cable. They flew back towards the forests, with the creature hanging 15 feet under the copter.
____________________________________________________
Robert saw only the glimpse of his father being taken away. Thoughts of the possibilities of the experiments they were planing angered him and he went down the ladder quicker then even he could have thought. He was face to face with teen zombies some of them halfway destroyed making their way towards he Titan.
Firing the P90 into the group in bursts while walking towards the opposite side of the alley. Hopes of drawing the attention to him, instead of Lilly who was now just about to finish the ladder and Andrew was coming down almost as quick as he had.

Lilly had climbed out on the rope when Andrew had tossed the grenade over the edge. She clung to the rope as the blast tore the bodies of the undead to shred. Marissa was down in the corner, holding her hands over her head and holding her handgun. She was at the mouth of the alley and more of the undead were still coming.
Wrapping her legs around the rope, Lilly laid on her stomach on the rope and aimed her AR-15 down at the group of undead. The rope swayed a bit and her shots weren't quite on, but she put down a good bit of the others. When her rifle was empty she grabbed her handgun.
That's when she heard Robert yelling at her. She looked up to see the helicopter take something away. Robert was on his way down the ladder and the undead were filling up the roof.
"This is going to hurt", she said to herself and grabbed her knife from her boot. She wrapped her hand around the rope and then cut the rope beneath her foot. For a split second, she felt the free fall and weightlessness that comes with it. Then the rope tightened around her and her harness caught her. She managed to get her feet out and stop her from slamming into the wall. Still she hit with some force. If it wasn't for her harness, she would have let go of the rope and slammed to the ground. As it was, she was quickly able to scale down the side of the building, dropping the last couple of feet to the ground.
Things were definitely getting hairy down here. More of the undead were moving in and Marissa was still in the corner of the alley.
"Everyone to the truck now!"
She detoured to the truck to grab Marissa by the shoulder of her jacket and pull her up. She would pull her along behind her if she had to.

Andrew made it back to the truck, the front of the passenger seat. He searched his bag and pulled out a canister of Bio Foam, along with first aid. he set the down on the dash board and started to foam the bullet wound. He had never seen or heard of such a thing for First aid but when he picked it up, he had the chance and time to read it. The foam Harden at his wound, stopping the bleeding. The foam mingled with the blood as it harden. He turn his head to look at the boy. He gave him a smile and a thumbs up. He made his way to the back of the Titan to open the back up for Marissa. She was being dragged by Lilly. His corner eye caught him and he aimed his pistol at to the left with fast reflex's and shot an on coming zombie. Twobit was making his way as well. Marissa's eyes were streaming of tears and mumbled some things. He grabbed Marissa by her arm, pulling her in, Lilly got in the driver seat as Twobit Jumped through the back. "Go! Go! Go!" Andrew shouted as he closed the door. He sigh in relief as the whole crowd of dead charged in there slow paces. But it was just enough to get away from the horde. The ride out of the hot zone was too quiet. "Don't get you're self too work up about the leg." He said it toward Lilly. "And sorry for erm...well ya know...Smacking your face..." He knew he wasn't gonna get sh*t for his actions.
He looked in at the back and Marissa had her face covered. She had been sobbing for quit awhile now. He got up and walked over to her. it was such a pain to move through without avoiding bumps. He sat down across from her. "Post Traumatic Stress." He said. She didn't bother to look up at him. "You don't know what it's like, dealing with this." She replied in a trembled voice. "Why didn't you tell us. Is this why you were hospitalized at a mental institution?" She finally looked up at him. Tears still rolling down. "Is that what they say?" "It's in the report. You became incapable of combat" "I wasn't in no Hospital" She put her head down crying hysterical. Andrew looked at her. "What do you mean?" She had struggled to calm her self down. She managed the words the struck him like a sword. "...Umbrella" Andrew had remembered being hired for the Union of Patriots for the leader, Breznov. He had learned by him to hate Umbrella's guts because of the work they did. Andrew held his hatred in. "Since then, I haven't been the same f--king person for the pass f--king 14 years, and this Disorder screwing with me, making me goddamn helpless--" Andrew took her hand away. "You got that child to safety, that all that matters...I want you to calm down. Now are you able to continue on?" Marissa did her best to from the way she suddenly stopped. She sniffled. "Yeah...I just taken my medication some time ago..." He patted his hand on her shoulder. then climbed to the front passenger seat.

Lilly dove for the driver's seat and nearly shot the body sitting in the car. Then she remembered that they had found a little boy and dropped her gun down. She slammed the door shut and fumbled for the keys, finally getting them in the ignition.
In the back of her mind, the image of her undead family shambling toward her would be forever burned. She had to put down her entire family and nearly lost it. The memory of what happened brought a few tears to her eyes. She blinked them away so that her sight would not be blurry.
Andrew told to not worry about his leg and appologized for slapping her. She waved it away.
"I lost my mind back there and needed it. That was my family. I came here looking for them, but I wasn't ready for that. We...."
She trailed off. She hoped that duty would take over so that she wouldn't fall to pieces. As the last door shut, indicating that all 4, now 5 passengers were in. She felt the thud of hands on the side of the truck. Out in front of her, bodies started to drop from the sky. Her mind couldn't wrap around it until she realized that the undead were walking off the edge of the building and slamming into the ground. She gunned the truck forward, leaving behind the hellhole. If she never came back to this place... it would be too soon.
Details of the attack began to come back. They had found a survivor... a boy. Her family was dead. A mutant beast was taken into a helicopter. Robert seemed very interested in it. Marissa went to pieces. As she rounded the corner, she heard Marissa explain what happened.
"Robert, what was that thing that was pulled into the helicopter?"

Robert got in behind Marrissa and let off a round in the closest zombie before shutting the door. The boy next to him was sitting still. Robert vaguely heard Andrew talking as they drove off down the road. He heard Lilly speak and understood by the tone of her voice that it concerned his father. "I believe that's my dad. " was all he said and his eyes never left the boys face and the confused mixture of emotions when they talked about this subject. "I think this boy will in time let us know what and why the ..... " his voice trailed and he then saw the boy look at him and smile. " what have you to say young man?" he said with a smile back.
The boy shook his head and tears welled up in his eyes. "don't worry about it, what's your name." Robert inquired as if it didn't matter. "Tim" said the boy in almost a whisper. "well Tim is there anyone you know who can take care of you?" said Twobit as he handed Tim a piece of venison jerky. Smiling Tim ate the piece and said "no" through the chewing.
Now turning to look at andrew and lilly in the front seat, Twobit said "How long can i use this P90? And i'm going after that helicopter to help him, even if its just to let him go. I know he wont want to face me, if he is fully himself."

Andrew looked over at Robert. "Rob, I don't think you understand...." Andrew trailed off. He didn't know how to put it in words. " If you go back there to free him, he mght not be the same as last time. The best you could do is put him to rest...."
Marissa dried her eyes. "Andy is right," She pulled a newport out and lit the cigarette. "He might have Memories and still be able to remember you. But next time won't be the same." She sniffled. "Even so...Whatever that chopper was, would have a base, base equals armed troops..." She remembered The Vegas she trailed Kevin and his partner Sherry Paramore. She did a lot of research on her backround. "I...I wouldn't mind looking around a bit into were that chopper is going."

Lilly turned the truck in the direction that the helicopter was heading. If they didn't change their course, it was somewhere back in the Arklay Mountains. Lilly had heard rumors of a base existing up there, but no one had ever found it. But lack of proof didn't mean it was just a story.
"I'm game", Lilly said, almost sealing the deal. With her family dead, she didn't have anything else to do at this time. She needed a job or opportunity or something to keep her going until she could just collapse and break down.
"What do we do with the kid? I don't think we would win humanitarian of the year by taking him into a firefight with armed guards."

Robert looked sad and confused, looking at the boy on the ride through the forest. "Marrissa you know anyone in your community that could protect the boy for a while and if i make it back i will take him back to Vegas with me!" he said sternly. "if not then maybe he would be okay in the Titan i got some soda and jerky in my backpack as well as the rations we got from the airport. i am afraid of us not returning though and would feel safer to know he had someone watching him!"
