Jason looked over his shoulder.

"Oh shit!"

He shot some bullets in the air, the signal for Scott to rejoin the group pronto.

Dave told Maggie to keep going as he aimed at the dog's. There were five of them but they weren't like the one's deeper in the city, most of them were the police Guard-dogs. These ones however were pets at one time.

There was one massive Mastiff patches of fur had fallen out and one ear had been torn off. Next to that was an Irish wolf hound his stomach hanging out and his tail was nothing but bones, a greyhound was behind them, it looked like bones with ratty fur covering them save for the ribs which shone in a street light, this one's tail was completely torn off, and lastly trailing an almost severed hind leg behind it was a pit bull cross.

Alex aimed her Browning handgun at the Irish wolf hound and shot out it's eyes. Jason started shooting though his aim was nowhere as good as hers, He aimed for the Mastiff the largest dog there. He had shot half the dogs face away with the magnum before it finally fell.

Carl and Maggie was trying to help Lorna away but she was panicking and struggling trying get way from the one's who were trying to help her. Maggie had the worse of it, after all she was trying to support Lorna with one arm and hold on to her son with her other hand.

Alex had given Dave her shot gun and he started making good use of it by shooting at the Greyhound thinking that it's apparent frailty meant that it was weak, and easy to finish.

Dave was wrong.

The dog growled at Dave and started running for him. Dave kept shooting but as he started to panic his shot's missed.

Dave actually dropped his gun when the dog jumped on him. He held the dog by the neck as it snapped at Dave's face. Silvia and blood speckled his face, Dave saw that the dog had lost part of it's tongue and most of it's teeth. It's breath was beyond foul. The greyhound snapped his jaws as he got closer to Dave's face.

Suddenly there was a bang and the dog became nothing more than a dead weight on Dave's chest. Dave shoved it off to see Alex give him a thumbs up.

The wolf hound ran past Dave, Alex and Jason.

It was making a beeline for the easiest pray. The already wounded Lorna.

It got a mouth full of Lorna's braded hair and pulled her away from Carl and Maggie.

Jason aimed for the wolf hound but didn't trust his accuracy to risk a shot. Dave was in the same situation.

The hound tugged on Lorna's hair shaking it back and fore like a rag. Lorna had one hand on her neck and the other on her hair as she struggled to get away.

It jumped back and was going to attack again, aiming for Lorna's neck.

BAM

The dog fell short and a little to the side.

Scott was standing ten feet away his hands slowly lowering his Magnum. Lorna was looking at him in shock, as was most of the rest of the group.

Bam bam,

"A little help here guys!"

Maggie was trying to stop Mark crying, holding the little boy close.

Carl was helping Lorna back to her feet.

Jason turned to see that the pit bull cross had sunk it's teeth into Alex's thick boot. She was trying to shake it off but losing her balance at the same time her arms wheeling madly.

It would have been funny anywhere else other than Raccoon.

Dave took care of the problem with the shotgun.

"One good shot deserves another." He said.

"Thanks." Alex said kicking her leg once more to dislodge the dead dog's jaw from her boot.

Jason smirked to himself now able to see the funny side to Alex's previous 'acrobatics' when he turned to see how Lorna was.

"Look out!"

"Lorna get down!" Scott lifted his gun only to here the click of an empty chamber. NO!

Lorna's mouth opened in a silent scream when she saw that the wolfhound had gotten back to it's feet and was growling, at her.

It jumped.

There was gunfire but Jason's clumsy shot missed.

Someone shoved Lorna out of the way.

The hound bit down on Carls throat and shook, tearing the skin flesh and muscle

He bled out in seconds.

The dog turned ready to attack Lorna again.

There was a deafening boom as Scott, Jason and Alex all fired at the same time.

The others looked down at Carl's still form. Lorna looked away hiding her face in Jason's shoulder.

Maggie kept Mark away she didn't want her young child to see. Scott reached down and closed Carl's eyes.

"We have to keep going." Scott said.

No one wanted to, they didn't want to leave the man laying in the street surrounded by his own blood waiting for something to come along and desecrate his corpse.

They hadn't wanted to leave Peter, or Jack or any of the others they had seen die on these streets.

But they hadn't any choice.

They still didn't have any choice.

Slowly they started walking away.

They noticed that the buildings were starting to spread apart. They were entering the suburbs.

"Shouldn't be long now Mark." Maggie whispered. "We'll be safe soon."

"Hey can anyone hot wire any of these cars?" Dave asked.

"Let me try." Scott answered. He popped the lock easily enough. Sliding into the drivers seat.

"Maggie what are you doing?" Dave asked.

Maggie blushed. "Just looking in the back seat, you know the stories about Axe Murderers in the back seat of cars don't you?"

Dave shook his head a small smile on his face.

Just then the engine of the car roared to life.

Lorna whom had started to half dose standing up panicked at the noise.

"Shh, it's okay it's just the car." Maggie said to her. "Look you can sit down for a while now."

They drove though the city suburbs there's weren't many Zombies here, they had all probably wandered to the heart of the city, attracted by the light and noise. There were however strange red things, they must have been human at some point, but they crawled on four legs and although they didn't slow down the car enough to get a good look, it looked like their brains were exposed.

Dave was sitting in the front next to Scott, he and Jason who was sitting behind him had their guns out ready.

Lorna was sleeping next to Jason, Maggie was next to her, Mark sleeping across their laps. Alex was crushed up against the other wall, her gun out but looking very uncomfortable.

She couldn't figure out how Lorna and Mark could sleep squeezed into the tin can of a car as they were.

Eventually they reached the end of the road.

Seriously.

"Damn it!" Scott snarled slamming his hands down on the wheel. "Well have to go back and find another way."

There was no way they were getting over that wall. It stretched as far as they could see on ether side. This second was made of cars, piled atop the other, another part they could made it seemed to be of rocks and dirt, it seemed like someone had the foresight to prevent anything escaping the city, including survivors.

Mark and Lorna had startled awake at the noise. Mark adding to it as he tearly asked his mom what was happening.

"Hell no!" Dave argued. "We're this close to free, I'm going on where but forward!"

Scott was ready to argue back until Maggie broke into the conversation.

"Surly one of us could squeeze though the cars and see what's on the other side?"

Scott paused considering, he turned to Alex

"You're the one with the smallest build out of all of us." He said. "Think you can get though."

Alex bit her lip, she walked up to the cars and put both hands on the window frame ready to pull herself though.

The cars creaked and Alex back peddled.

"I can't…They're going to crush me."

Maggie sighed. "Here hold Mark for me." Alex nodded shocked as Maggie walked up to the car and pulled herself though.

"Hey!" She called though to the others. "There's a crane here! Wait there and I'll see if I can get the magnet over to your side."

"Maggie wait!" Scott said, he pulled out his magnum, shoving his arm though the car window until he felt the nurse reach in though the other side and take it. "Keep an eye out, we don't know if there's anything on this side of the wall or not."

"Okay." Maggie gulped and Scott could hear her running to wherever she had seen the crane.

Scott pulled out the assault rifle that he had tied to his back. He'd be fine, he just hoped Maggie could shoot straight if she needed to.

"How does a nurse know how to work a crane?" Alex asked.

"Marks father was a construction worker." Dave answered.

There was a rumbling noise as Maggie drove the crane towards the wall. The group looked up eagerly as they saw the large round magnet drop down to their side of the wall.

"Alex, you and Mark first. Once Marks back with Maggie ride it back to the top of the wall and cover us, Jason, you and Lorna next. Dave you and me are last. Agree?"

Everyone nodded. Alex hopped on, holding mark tightly. He seemed happy while they rose up, smiling and clapping his hands. Alex seemed to be growing paler and paler the higher she rose.

Finally they vanished over the other side.

"So what are you going to do once where out?" Jason asked Dave."

Dave grinned. "Ask Maggie out on a date of course."

"Don't plan to far ahead." Scott said darkly. "Can't you hear that."

Before anyone could say 'hear what?' A chilling screech followed by a clicking filled the air.

At the end of the street was one of the strange red monster they had driven past earlier.

Jason, Scott, and Dave held their guns ready. Lorna tried she really did, but she was ill, and still recovering from being shot in the neck, the grip on Carls Assault Rifle gun shook and it slipped from her fingers.

It fired as it hit the ground, thankfully it seemed to do nothing more than scare the living daylights out of everyone there.

However before they could recover from that scare Alex was screaming at them from the top of the barrier wall.

The red monsters were running, scuttling towards them.

All three men opened fire on them. As Lorna tried to pick up her gun, she could still fight, all she had to do was pick up the gun ; and now all she had to do was stop her hands from shaking…

"Jason get her out of here!"

Alex was talking pot shots from the monsters from above as Jason dragged Lorna onto the magnet.

"Hold on okay? You can finish this little breakdown of yours on the other side of the wall. Can you do that for me Lorna?"

Lorna wanted to shoot a glare at her cousin to snap at him that she was not having a break down and that she wad fine.

She found herself dumbly nodding and holding and holding onto Jason as tightly as she could.

Jason.

Jason moved her hands to the wire attached to the magnet instead and jumped into the wall next to Alex.

"You okay?" He asked.

Alex shot him a look. "It's not highs that I'm scared of."

She turned back to her targets. Jason picked one of the red eyeless things and blew it's brains out, which considering it's grey matter was exposed shouldn't have been as hard as it was.

The magnet empty of passengers drifted over their heads and back down to the last two survivors.

"I'm out!" Scott cursed, he flipped the gun in his hand, ready to use it as a bludgeon if he had to.

"Fuck!" Alex shouted on the wall, throwing her empty gun down at the monsters, knowing it wouldn't do any harm but trying anyway, because there was nothing else she could do.

Scott grabbed the magnet and climbed on as it sunk to the ground.

"Dave, come on!"

Firing his last three shots into the three nearest monsters, Dave slammed the but of the shot gun down on the head of another and stepped up with Scott.

Alex and Jason shouted at Maggie to lift the magnet and it started to rise.

The monsters shrieked and hissed.

"HA! No dinner for you to night!" Dave shouted.

One of the monsters jumped up and grabbed the magnet almost throwing the two men off. Franticly they stamped on the things claws and head until it fell off.

One of the things on the ground hissed, sitting back on it's hunches and, for a moment Scott thought it had shot something at them.

It wasn't until blood splattered in his face that he realised.

It had been a tongue an impossibly long, razor sharp tongue. It had wrapped around Dave's neck and pulled down, slowly, Dave's body and head fell to the ground.

Scott just stared at him.

He was meant to make it, they had come so far, and had lost so many, he couldn't take losing another, he just couldn't…

Suddenly he was jostled as Jason and Alex jumped onto the magnet from he wall.

"You weren't about to something stupid now was you?" Jason asked.

Scott didn't answer.

He didn't look at Maggies face as Alex and Jason shook their heads at her question.

"We….we need to find another car." Scott said as he looked around the part of street they found themselves in now.

It looked like it had become a cross between a construction site and junk yard, there were scars and bricks and even a cement mixer, it looked like they had intended to build a better wall had and abandoned the project half way though. Scott walked to the nearest car and found the keys in the ignition.

He barly noticed Lorna sitting in the front seat next to him as everyone else piled in the back.

"Not another tin can." Alex muttered as Scott drove off.

Half an hour later they stopped the car, and stared at the rockets streaking over their heads.

Heading straight for Raccoon.

They saw the blast. Covered their faces with their arms as the shock wave hit them. If they had been any longer escaping they would have been caught in that…

If Dave hadn't been so stubborn they would all have died in the blast.

Scott turned to the other survivors, Alex, Maggie, Mark, Jason and the still silent Lorna.

"Dive to the next town, talk to the cops tell them what happened, I'm sure Umbrella would have sprouted some cock and bull story by now, we can't let them get away with this."

Lorna looked at him

"Aren't you coming with us Mr Scott?" Mark asked.

Scott knelt next to the boy.

"I'm sorry Mark, I can't talk to the police, But I know a man, or I should say he knows me. I think he may be able to help."

"Thank you for saving us Mr Scott."

"Mark that's enough." Maggie said pulling the child back. "Don't make this harder."

Scott turned to Jason Alex and Lorna.

"I…I'm sorry." Scott shook his head and walked away."

Lorna reached forward and grabbed Scott's arm.

"Lorna…" He said as he turned back to face her.

Lorna gave him the assault rife.

Scott opened his mouth to say something but nothing could come out.

Lorna looked down sadly and walked back to Jason. A few seconds later, Scott nodded to the group and left.

"What are we going to do now?" Alex asked.

"We're going to do exactly what he said." Jason said getting back in the car. "We're going to the cops, and we are going to help them bring Umbrella down."

The End...

Maybe...

26/9/98

Old Big-Head's been on my case again, I know it's risky but I can't give him a cure that kills the people it's curing. I might have come up with a solution though, but I won't know until tomorrow if it worked. It all started when one of the workers got a cold sore after a bad case of flu. Everyone panicked and locked him up in quarantine that started me thinking about how the cold sore virus is always in the body but doesn't manifest until that body is infected with something else. If I could get this effect with my Neutralising -Virus maybe it could work as an early warning sign of infection. Also no sign of a letter from Lorna yet. I sent her mine last week.

27/9/98

My new Neutralising -Virus I wrote about worked, sort of. The Neutralising -Virus manifested too intensely. The result being that the lab rat died of my Neutralising -Virus instead of the T-Virus. But the control rat without the T-virus is still alive so it's a step in the right direction.

29/9/98

There's been some talk about a disaster in some place called Raccoon. It must have been the virus I'm trying to stop because the higher-ups are getting really nervous and putting more pressure for me to prefect my work but I'm already working as fast as I can. I think that's near to where Lorna moved. She still hasn't answered my Letter, maybe I wrote the address wrong and there's no need to worry, but I can't check 'cause I only went and lost it.

30/9/98

Susan came down today. She was actually trying to pet the guard dogs! Doesn't anything scare that girl! Weird thing was that after snarling at her for a few minutes they wandered off and didn't attack like they're meant too. Not that I'm complaining mind, I don't want my sister as dog-meat. I think I'll show her the Cerberus we have here. If that doesn't scare her then it is true that she has no sense of fear.

31/10/98

More mundane depressing stuff if I write it down I'll just get more depressed. So I'm not writing another word until something good happens. Mind you showing Cerberus to Susan made my poor little Sue turn as white as a sheet! What I'm her brother! It's my job to be mean.

Work, work, work! Nothing but work. I shouldn't have scared Susan off this morning.

1/10/98

Work, work, work! Lots and lots of work, VERY BORING.

2/10/98

Too much work, must take break or brain will explode.

3/10/98

Susan came back again to try and cheer me up it was a nice thought but it's getting increasingly hard to get clearance for her. And I think she really came to see Ricky, the dog keeper's son, anyway. Not to mention that she always seems to be in the way, and she is definitely getting to close to the animals. Maybe if she got a job here as a courier or something it would be easier for her to come up here and it would keep her to busy to mess with the animals, Big-Head has been complaining about needing a new courier. I wonder what happened to the old one.

4/10/98

It turns out that the disaster at Racoon was a T-Virus outbreak like I said but it seems like a new Virus had mutated out of the old one they've called it the G-Virus, and because its like the T-Virus they want me to work on it. Seeing what the first virus does to animals, I hope nether of these has been transmitted to humans. I believe they can, but with some luck my Neutralising -Virus will be finished before that can happen. Question is where did these viruses come from if I didn't know better I would say they're from a lab, but they are unlike any manmade virus I've seen before.

5/10/98

That pompous old goat! Old Big-Head reckons making Susan a courier would be security risk, why? It isn't as if she would be carrying anything top-secret, just delivering cell samples or theory papers.

6/10/98

As some famous bloke said 'EUREKA!' I've finally done it, my Neutralising -Virus works great; it even works against the new G-virus samples we've got in. All you got to do is give my virus to any kind if animal, or person, and when they get infected with the T-or-G-Virus, mine will manifest and destroy it. The rats looked (and probably felt) like shit though. But at least it didn't kill them and the best thing is that it's faster that it takes for the two viruses to enter even it's initial symptoms, perfect or what?

7/10/98

Aunt Jessie phoned to say Sue is coming tomorrow but to be careful with her, as she doesn't feel well. If she gives me that flu bug that's going round, I'll show her one of the new creatures caught in Racoon they'll give her nightmares for weeks!

Still no word from Lorna, it looks like she really was living in Raccoon, Damn I hope she made it out or something.

8/10/98

Susan did visit to day. She seemed to have recovered from seeing a Cerberus she was trying to pet the guard dogs again! But Jessie was right she looks terrible I did my best not to let anyone else see her you see I'm scared that she got one of them. One of the viruses. So I took some blood, didn't tell her why. She must have gotten to close to one of my rats! I pray she's not infected! If she is it'll be my fault! I would have killed my own sister!

I managed to convince the supers to let Susan stay without having to explain why, so that's a small blessing but there is definitely something wrong with Susan. She's very quiet, impatient more fidgety than normal, constantly tired and her eyes are blood shot. However where in all the infected animals I've seen had insane increases in appetite Susan's was reduced she hasn't touched any food since noon yesterday, but she has been drinking a little more than normal. She said that she feels fine but the animals don't feel pain, once I get the results from her blood tests I may be able to turn the vaccine in to a treatment. I'm so worried. I don't know what to do, I'm only guessing.

9/10/98

I don't believe it, Susan is completely back to normal and the computer finished analysing her blood sample, the T-Virus was present but her immune system had all but been wiped it out. She's immune! After all that work I find out she's immune! As soon as the computer finished I took a sample of my own blood and infected that with the virus, let's just say it didn't look good. I'll have to get Aunt Jessie up here but it will be a lot more difficult to get clearance for a reporter than for a kid sister, but I'm sure I can think of something.

10/10/98

That bastard! Big Head found out about Susan and Aunt Jessie is already up here! I thought I had been smart telling him she wanted to do a public relations story. But now he's got my Aunt! And now he wants me to go and get Susan too! Well he's not getting her! Umbrella has probably already killed Jason and Lorna. My family will not become some maniac's experiment! I swear it!

I have been an idiot, I've been told everything about the Umbrella Viruses. I can't believe these idiots truly believe that they can keep a lid on this Pandora's box they have created, the spills at Raccoon prove this. It is only a matter of time before something worse happens, like a state-wide spill or beyond that even. I have to stop Umbrella somehow. Maybe Susan is the key. If only I can get a message to her! But they already been able to get away with Raccoon, Who cares about a pair of Twins and their Aunt.

11/10/98

I've continued my work on the Neutralising -Virus. They promised not to hurt Jessie if I do. What they don't know is that I've made more Neutralising -Virus than the ten samples I gave them. And using what I found out from Susan's blood I've made an improved version. I'm making copies of all my notes to. It's going to be an all nighter but I can do it. If I can get all of this to the papers Umbrella would be finished!

12/10/98

I hid my Neutralising -Virus and I've got every thing copied into the back of this book, which I'll send to Susan, somehow. I just hope Susan can find the someone who can help. And that she doesn't read this and try to save Aunt Jessie herself.

I didn't think things could get much worse. They took away Aunt Jessie! They said to a prison somewhere. Well I took the Neutralising -Virus my self, and Susan is Immune. I would realise the T-Virus but it could spread to the town. I couldn't let that happen not even everyone here in the lab is bad, and no one in the town knows what is going on. But they have my work, they don't need me now. I wonder how long it will before the send me to the same place as Aunt Jessie.

13/10/98

Believe it or not I had a visitor to day. I actually think Big-head was afraid of this guy. He should be. He reminds me of those deep-throat anti-heroes off TV. Well except for that creepy smile but who cares! He said he knows someone who could help my family, and get this diary out to the public. God I hope he is telling the truth, I have to write this quickly we don't have much time.

Susan please, if you've read this dairy don't do something stupid. get help, find Aunt Jessie. All this is pretty unbelievable but maybe a reporter like her can make it believable.

I love you sis.

Ethan Slate.

Resident Evil: Immunity

AN: Like I said I wrote most of this before Outbreak and the movies were rellised and I have already said that Scott's original name was Matt, and I had to change it to Scott because of the movie.

Here's the creepy part, Susan was originally called Alice, and Ethan's nick name for her was Rabbet, as in Alice in wonderland.

Also the 'Neutralising -Virus' was originally called the Anti-Virus which was also mentioned in the movie, and although I haven't played much of Outbreak I know there is a pill you can take that has the same name.

I started on this while I was still in school just as RE3 came out I SWEAR!

Oh, and just to keep you interested, Barry, Carlos, and Jill may be in the sequel.

Please review and tell me if this was any good.
