Prior to the outbreak, the Clock Tower was a popular tourist site located in the east side of the city. It was originally in the north part of town but was quickly removed and placed elsewhere and rebuilt on site from the helicopter crash that destroyed it so immensely. It was heralded and praised as an unofficial monument to the tragedies that occurred near it. There are still scratch marks and the faint smell of blood to this day within it's quarters. Zombies may occasionally walk in and out, but nothing but creatures that can climb are up any higher than the ground floor. Be weary.

Graves followed the figure at a distance until they reached St. Michael's. Graves took cover behind an overturned van to see that men and women were patrolling outside of the tower gates. They were armed with automatic rifles ranging from M4s to various AK models. He was about to approach them when another man beat him to it.
"Hey! Thank God I found-" the man shouted. Before he could finish, the group opened fire on him, ripping him to shreds with rounds. As the man's body fell to the ground dead, two of the group moved forward and grabbed the body and took it back inside of the tower.
"What the-?" Graves asked himself, as he gripped his shotgun. "What are they doing?"

**Stiv arives at the clock tower**
Stiv takes cover behind some of the walls near the clock tower and notices couple of soldies careing a dead soldier. "That guy doesnt look like he was infected before getting killed...Maybe i should investigate before aproaching them" While Stiv was observing the situation from a safe distance he notices another soldier hiding he walks slowly behind him and points his gun to the soldiers head. "Dont move!Identify yourself..."

Graves slowly put his hands over top of his head at the order.
"I am not a soldier...I'm with the RPD..." Graves said slowly. "I followed a fellow here to see what was going on....then I saw that his buddies just gunned down a man for getting too close to the tower..."
Graves studied the man for a moment and nodded.
"You a soldier?"

((Cassy enters))
Cassy had previously noticed the clock tower and decided that climbing it would give her a good vantage point to find a safe area. She saw some men and women holding automatic weapons. She approached slowly, not seeing the innocent man get killed. Cassy's perception was good, so she noticed two men hiding. Cassy wondered what to do, it seemed the two mean were scared of the large group of people, but they looked innocent enough.
So Cassy approached the nearest man holding a gun. "Hey whats-" Her voice was cut off as she saw guns being raised. Instinctively, she rolled towards cover. The group started firing at her, chipping away her cover. She swore under her breath and held her machine gun tightly. She grabbed a nearby brick and tossed it to one side. Whilst the groups attention was held for precious seconds by the brick, she ran over to the Graves and Stiv. Crouching low to avoid the group seeing her, she spoke. "What the hells goin' on?"

Marcelli and the 7 men of 5th squad made their way from their subway exit they'd used slowly, trudging through the docks and towards the clock tower in full gear and fully armed, suppressed firearms blazing. The squad had two MK4 100 Ultimax's, two suppressed 6.5 Grendel AR-15's, and 3 16" suppressed Barret M468, plus Marcelli's suppressed Rec7 10.5" CQC 6.8 SPC rifle who also is carrying a B&T GL-06 loaded with 40mm buckshot. He had other rounds for it as well. The Ultimax's remained silent, the suppressed rifles doing all of the firing as they work their way through the crowds. 5th squad was responsible for clearing the St.Michaels clock tower out and then setting it up as an observation post, and a transmitter tower for the T.F.P and military forces to use. Higher higher was also contemplating it being used as a land-mark for aircraft to refuel at. Marcelli made a quick silent hand signal, and the team kept pushing forwards towards the tower, before all of them dropping to a crouch and immediately scanning the vicinity at the sudden sound of gunfire. A flurry of hand signals and whispers were exchanged, before each man reports
All clear.
Marcelli's brow forrowed, and he thought for a moment, before looking in the direction he imagined the gunfire came from, and then noticing it came from the direction of the clocktower.
Squads designated marksmen move up and scope out the area. Everyone else, stay back and prepare to back them up.
Everyone nodded in confirmation, and the Ranger and marine started moving forward. They advanced along the road leading there, which had at one time been a high-traffic road filled with tourist buses, taxi's, and rented cars, leap frogging one after another, until they got close enough to not only see the gates; but to see three people to their left at a van. One man scoped out the three there, and focused on them. They were armed. The next man scoped out the unknowns at the gate, their safeties off, and ready to open fire. They whispered into their mics
Three unknowns, 34 yards 10 o clock from our position, and an unknown number of unknowns at the clocktower. All armed. Requesting orders
Marcelli thought for a moment, before growling
Hold your fire. Wait till I get on position. 5th squad, regroup on our DM's positions. Weapons tight, weapons tight. Fire only if unkowns go hostile or threaten to go hostile.
The last 6 men advanced, as ordered.

Stiv holsters his handgun and takes out his primary weapon. "Sorry about that i just had to be sure, my name is Stiv and im with the Umbrella biohazard countermeasure services.I came here looking for a choper that was supposed to extract me and my team"
Stiv starts looking around at the soldiers guarding the clock tower.
"Do you have any idea who are those guys?They dont seem friendly.And they dont look like the U.B.C.S or any other military from RC.What the hell is happening here?"

"I don't have any idea." Graves said, as he checked his shotgun. "But I plan on finding out."
As he spoke, the tower's bell began to ring. The people outside of the tower began to move inside of it.
"Come on....let's see what's got the bells going off." Graves said, as he moved towards the tower.

Cassy sighed in a way that she did when she was frustrated. "Sure, whatever honey. Lets just hurry up. This place is not good for my outfit. She glanced down at her bustier and jeans, they were covered in blood and mud already from this place. She followed Graves and Stiv, holding her pistol protectively.

"Alright lets lock and load" Stiv takes out two silencers out of his small military bag. "Take this put it on your handgun it will be much easier to go around unheard" Stiv puts the other silencer on his own handgun and then looks at the third person that was with them. "Sorry man i only pack 2 silencers one for me and other just in case,do you have a knife or something you could use to kill silently?"

Graves takes the silencer and attaches it to his Berretta. Slinging the shotgun back over his shoulder. Graves moves up towards the front gates. He catches sight of several of the strange people moving back into the central tower building. All of them were heading back inside. From the building, he could hear the sound of an organ playing. He takes a quick look around, checking the corners he can see and gives a signal to Stiv and the girl to move up.
"Clear."
Graves moved on towards the entrance to the tower.

5th squad watched quietly as all the unknowns started to move, and continued to observe silently while trying to decide their next move. Quietly, Marcilo ordered
Everyone but an Ultimax and our D'M's shadow the unknowns nearest our position. Three hanging back, cover us.
With that, the two D.M's crouched behind a car and continued surveying the clock tower ahead of them while the automatic rifleman took cover with them, popping out his bipod and readying for suppressive fire. The remaining 4 men quietly....

Stiv moves towards the entrence folowing Graves. "Come on lets go" Stiv walks slowly around the corner and suddenly bumps into a enemy soldier. "Oh damn it" The soldier becomes alerted but doesnt yell for backup and doesnt even alert the other soldiers he just takes out his shotgun. But the soldiers shotgun was straped on his back and Stivs hangun was in his hands so Stiv had a bigger chance so he took the shot and hit the soldier in his head. Then takes the dead soldiers shotgun and gives it to the girl. "take this you might need it more then i.Wait up Graves"

Cassy smiled at Stiv as he gave her the shotgun. "Well thanks, it will come in handy if things get heavy." She remembered his comment about killing silently and took out her knife. "Don't worry, I know how to use this." Cassy spotted an enemy soldier ahead. She held her knife behind her back and walked slowly, acting as innocent as she could. She spoke to the lone soldier ahead in a seductive tone. "I'm sorry, but I'm all alone here, I don't know where to go..." She slowly advanced on him, her beauty and tone just enough to make the soldier hesitate. Cassy managed to get fairly close to the soldier before the soldier spoke back. "Your... going to have to... leave." The soldier said it regretfully, aiming his pistol at Cassy.
She smiled an evil smile before running at him. She realized he might have time to fire a shot, so she rammed her knife into the barrel of the gun without him noticing. "I would not fire that if I were you..." The soldier took no notice of her words and fired. Due to the knife, the shot could not get out, so the gun burst apart under the pressure of the shot. The barrel was shot backwards and hit the soldier in the head, killing him instantly. "That was.... different." Cassy remarked as she peeked round the corner. She saw two more guards fairly far away, and waited for Graves and Stiv to catch up.

Graves held his Berretta in his hand firmly as he moved after the group of people. He stopped just sort of what looked like a worship area. From his vantage point he could see about ten or fifteen men armed with automatic rifles all gazing at a central fellow dressed in a business suit. The crowded room murmured amongst themselves as a lone voice rang out from the front of the room.
"Silence! Silence! The Mayor is about to speak!"
The suited man raised his arms above his head as he spoke to the crowd.
"My fellow citizens, we have a crisis amongst our ranks. The infected continue to try to come into our haven, into our homes, to kill us, eat us....but they shall not!"
The crowded room murmured in acknowledgment as he continued to speak.
"And so, remember, kill all who move towards our hallowed walls, kill anything that is not one of us, dressed as us, talks as us, walks as us! We cannot tell the difference from the infrected and those who are not, so, whou could blame us? Who could say that we are wrong?"
"Good God..." Graves thought to himself.
