"i'm steve but my friends call me Buck. It's short for my last name Buckingham."
"This is definitely crazy. It's really good someone living came by. i thought there were others out there. i knew there had to be. I've been hearing all kinds of stuff out there-" He stopped and extended his hand for a handshake, "Nice to meet you."
"This is a pretty safe place. I've moved a lot of good supplies onto the roof. Thats where i spend most of my time nowadays."
"i've got some food and some beer up top."
It was getting dark on the roof. Buck lit a large candle on a the plastic yard table. he pulled the lawn chair from the edge of the building and placed it next to the table.
He pulled a box from his tent. He opened it it exposing chips and other snacks. He sat down a few drinks. "Sorry its all warm, the fridges went out and theres no ice anywhere."
Then, he went back and pulled out a few water bottles.
After that he pulled out a blow torch and a package of noodles. Dropped it into the pan and poured some bottled water into it. he then proped the pan on an old metal wire refrigerator shelf he had placed up on two bricks. he slipped the blowtorch between the bricks and turned on the heat. The water boiled in seconds.
"Well that should get you started."
Buck drank the rest of the bottle of water.
"So have you ran into anyone else? Was that you i heard from the street earlier or was that more of those zombies?"
Jake shrugged "I dont know. I was in the woods. I couldnt hear anything over the moaning and barking and so on... it was horrible..." He looked at the cooking noodles. It made his stomach growl, almost as if it would eat the food itself. "But i do have a word of advice... if you are ever running low on food... dont catch those dead bastards on fire... they smell like cooked steak and bacon...."
"Everywhere sounds"
He fell to his knees and sighed then his father face just came to his mind telling him what he always said when he was little 'don't give up remember everything I and the agency have taught you'
"But, there just too many people, zombies, and my friend this mission is over I have no way back if my friend dies, and no chance of living if the others die."
'Remember missions aren't dead unless you don't try'
He held his weapons tightly and stood up and saw four dogs running full speed at him, his aim due to his adrenaline was increased he hit all 4 dogs in the head killing them all.

Shalimar walked outside"Their gone.they must have went after her.."Shalimar sniffed the air."I can't get an good scent of her, that smell of death is to heavy in the air"
Berina cracked her neck free of a little tension and sighed heavily in concern, nodding a little to Shalimar her face creased with concentration. Finally she spoke, "I hate to say this but if either of us are going to be any help to anyone then we'll have to split up and meet later on."
She waited a moment and before long she was gone from sight, moving off in persuit of a scent that permiated above the stench of rotting corpses.
(I'm heading out toward Jake and Buck. Berina is a successfull attempt at Umbrella's experiments to integrate the advantages of the T-Virus to a regular human so she's pretty special. You can post seeing or hearing her arrive if you want but dont play meeting her yet)
"Let hope there the virus hasn't made it this far" Yoshiaki told himself as he looked upon the horizon, seeing an island, hopefully a paradise. But right as that thought passed through his mind, it seemed to get quiet. "Ugh, Now I really hope this island has not been infected by the virus" he told himself, looking at the engine which just died on him. The boat gradually started slowing down until the only force that was pushing him to the island were the waves.
When he hit the shore he immediately started searching for any form of human life, or any type of shelter in case the virus has traveled this far.
"Time to get busy."
He stepped over the dead bodies of the dogs running full speed towards where most of the noises are coming, he came to an immediate stop at the sound of something inside a church.
"aw c'mon killing in a church?"
He opened the doors and looked inside... nothing he walked slowly through the area... still yet nothing this area was empty except a huge picture of Jesus for some reason his eye was covered red-pinkish, the it began to crawl, he looked up and saw more creatues crawling and one of their tongues lashed at him from the sealings, he back up and slammed the door on the creatures tongue and left it there, the door was rushed open and the creatures hopped down in persuit after him.
"What the hell are those things?"
He ran and began setting off flares in the air hoping someone would see and respond somehow or his friend would tell him where he was from him.
"LIFE" that was the first thought that ran through his mind when he saw them... flares!
He cautiously walked in the general direction of the flares, ignorant to the fact that zombies could pop out anywhere, more so, hoping that they wouldn't.
The first sighting was of disbelief, it has not yet seen him, but he saw it. One of those things, eating a corpse. Slowly and quietly advancing to it, he drew his blade and with a quick swipe, he removed the things head. "No, not here too!"
Bang! Another flare reminded of where he was headed, but this time he knew what he would probably find at the location of the flares, what he has been running from since he left S.T.A.R.S., zombies.
He pulled out his 9mm and in more of a hurry, ran to the flare.
Jake shrugged "I dont know. I was in the woods. I couldnt hear anything over the moaning and barking and so on... it was horrible..." He looked at the cooking noodles. It made his stomach growl, almost as if it would eat the food itself. "But i do have a word of advice... if you are ever running low on food... dont catch those dead bastards on fire... they smell like cooked steak and bacon...."
"I don't like the small of them on fire either."Buck grabbed a lawn chair from by the tent and placed it by the plastic table."
"I'm not originally from here so i'm not familiar with the layout of this city. I really just run from place to place. thats what i did until i made this my home."
Buck took a seat in the other lawn chair, opening a bag of doritos.
It's been a safe place but i can't imagine staying here to die."
He continued,"I've spent too long here already. I've heard a lot of people's screams from the top of this roof. Even recently, sounded like a woman. I dunno." He stared down at the plastic table.
"We need to get out of here. If not to save whoever else is out there, then at least to know we made an honest attempt at getting out of here."
"I've got some gear ready to go",Buck pointed at his backpack. "You can load up too and we'd have enough to survive for a while."
"There's a car dealership just down the street, not even a block." He smiled. "I figured if we can break into it and get some keys we could go for a cruise." "There's a nice silver mustang i've been eyeing with my name on it."
"Whada you think?"
Berina made it out into a street where the zombies had been drawn away from. Sniffing the air a little she smiled and continued onward, as she did she frowned, realising that there was a camp somewhere ahead and her stomach was more than empty. At the mere thought of food her stomach grumbled and she pondered when she'd eaten a meal last.
Jake shrugged and smiled "I think we have a plan, but if we are alive then there has to be some others..." he said and took the noodles offered to him. "Thanks" he ate the noodles and almost choked because he was eating to fast. He smiled at Buck "Thank you very much. But we do have a problem traveling together, that is if we do.... When we run out of supplies... one of us.. weelll... we may go a bit crazy and try to kill eachother for food... if you know what i mean..."
"I have a solution.",Buck said.
"We get over to that car dealer. Steal two vehicles. Covertibles or trucks. Roll over here and park in front of the store. Then start throwing supplies off the front of the roof into the vehicles."
"We can start moving supplies up to the roof and empty the store of mostly anything we need to survive."
"After that me move the cars over here and run to the back, climb the ladder to the roof and start dropping supplies down." He smiled.
"This whole series of event will probably draw a lot of attention but we could blast our way down through the zombies to the cars and drive off. -and if we only had someone that knew the layout of the city. You know, so we'd know where to go."
"Hey."Buck said startled.
"Where'd you come from." He had a smirk.
"Well we can always use an extra body, especially a living one. We're about to get outta this place."
"The one detail we havent figured out is where exactly we're going or how to even get off this island. I guess eventually we'll need a boat."
