Pretty quiet for a city, i thought as i looked around, apart from the low moaning noise, which the wind seemed to carry.
I threw my backpack over my shoulder and walked to the station exit. Not a soul in sight. A streetlight flickered then went out leaving a trail of long shadows as i arrived on the silent streets.
Hope the YHA's still open, i thought as i walked through the dim lit streets, struggling to find my lonely planet guide in my pack. The moaning seemed to grow a little louder. I passed the Racoon City Police Dept. I can always ask there if i get lost, i thought. As the door of the Police dept flew open, i nearly soiled myself...........

'You're not one of them, who are you?' He spat out.
'Just a traveller, names Henry, Henry Dribblethwaite i replied.
'You're not from around here' A statement more than a question.
'Yorkshire, England.'
'Man, you picked a h£ll of a place to come to, get inside quick.'
I followed him into the police dept. The place was in a mess, everything strewn around, tables, chairs, plants covered the floor, some blood too, or tomato sauce.....i thought the former.
'Whats up?' I asked.
'You dont want to know.' He snapped back.
A scraping sound came from a closed door to the left, the same low moaning i heard before. The police guy shot a glance at the door and grimaced. 'Follow me, and stay close.' He said, heading towards the same door.......
'You're safer in here, for now, i won't be long'
'Wait' I shouted after his dissapearing form, But my head hurt so much i couldnt continue.
What seemed like hours passed, he did'nt return, I thought i'd heard a scream once, but was'nt sure, i'd convinced myself it was the wind, my head ached still, there was no pillow on the sparse bed, but i tried to sleep again, anyway.
I heard a noise, i drifted out of dreamland to find a female police officer at the door.
' You ok? You're human i guess?'
' Well i'm not from Mars.'
' Dont joke, this is serious. What are you in for?'
' A copper locked me in, for my safety he said'
' That was wise, but we've got to leave now, did he leave the key?'
' Dunno, did'nt see it'
' I'll have to get the key, i won't be long'
' Can't you shoot the lock?'
She looked at me blankly. ' I need the key'
A low moaning , a shadow behind her, arms outstretched, someone made a grab for her.............
The man stood up! He moaned and limped towards her. He tried the gun again but - CLICK - she was out of ammo.
'I'll be back!' She shouted, and ran off.
The creature limped towards my cell........
'You ok?'
She was back, a shotgun in her hands, blood dribled from her shoulder where the thing bit her.
' i found the key, we'd better go, before more of them come'
' I'd rather stay here' I replied, spitting out a diced carrot.
' Not a good idea, i insist, lets go' She pulled out the key from her pocket and opened the celldoor.
In she reached and pulled me out, still feeling sick, i offered little resistance as she led me through the cell area, we reached a set of stairs, as we made our way up, i felt faint, all i could see was the stairs, everything else black out.
My cheek suddenly hurt, she'd slapped me. 'Pull yourself together, i need you'
She needed me, i just thought of the inuendo, it seemed to bring me round, my vision cleared, i quickly wished it hadnt. As i focused my eyes were drawn to the top of the stairs, someone or something was waiting to greet us..........
