| STAIRWAY |

I walked back out of the shower room and decided to climb to the top of the stairs, I noticed a few lockers and one had a big lock, I didn't think much of it. I was a little curious as to what was inside - but I didn't know the code.
to the right was a giant hole in the wall, with a mannequin's shadow on the wall to my left. it startled me just a bit, chuckling I shook my head and stepped over the rubble on the floor, I walked up to the table and noticed a blue key shaped as a spade. It looked important so I grabbed it.

| WEST OFFICE |

I then walked all the way back down to the first floor of the station and went back down the hall, I opened the door to the west office and began to walk in when I saw a zombie laid against one of the desks, I didn't know if it was alive or not but I didn't want to take any chances. I shot one bullet into the back of its head and it stood up, stumbling it's way over to me it was getting a bit too close and I started to panic, that's when I heard someone yell "GET DOWN!" and shot the zombie from behind. I recognized that voice, it was Leon.
Once the body dropped to the floor he hurried over to me and gave me a gentle hug, "Are you okay? I came to find you to check on you." I returned the hug and soon after we stopped hugging. "I'm okay, but thank you for the save." I laughed and he nodded, "It's no big deal, we gotta stick together."
"Hey I found this weird looking key.. obviously it goes to something but I wonder what?" We both looked around the office for a bit until we both at the same time pointed to a door - it had the same spade that was on the key.

| MAIN HALL |

I pushed the key into the lock on the door and turned it, and it worked! it led back to the main hall. "I think from now on we should stick together and not split up Val." My stomach twirled at the name he had given me, nobody had ever called me that. even though it was something completely normal it felt.. different for some reason? for what reason? I couldn't tell you at that time.
"You're right, I might have another close call." I joked with him and walked through the door to the main hall.

| EAST SIDE |

Marvin called us over and was showing us a person at the gate on the East side of the station. she was wearing a red jacket - and she looked human. seconds later I recognized who it was. it was Chris Redfield's sister!
she was calling for someone's help. "We better hurry quickly, Leon." He nodded and we ran up the stairs and over to the East side. We walked into the Waiting Room where there was another Spade door - I unlocked and and we walked past the Art Room and headed straight for the Fire Escape, we almost made it to the door when we heard a plane; glancing at each other only seconds later a big crash was heard - it was right next to us. a plan had crashed into the station, right next to the fire escape. luckily it wasn't in our way so we were able to walk down the stairs.

| MYSTERIOUS WOMAN |

"Claire?!" I called out, while Leon was doing his best to examine the crash without getting too close - seconds later it caught fire and he decided to walk down to the gate with me. "Valentina.. oh my god it's so nice to see you!" She gave me a bright smile, I always considered Claire as my little sister. "It is! I was wondering if you were in town or what.. are you looking for Chris?" I questioned, "Actually yeah I am.. do you know where he is?" "He left a note for other members to read.. it said something about him being in Europe. I think it's still in our office somewhere.. if we could just get you inside.." I shook the door a little bit, 'Fuck.. we don't have a key.' "I'm guessing you don't have a key huh?" I shook my head, "Claire listen.. just be safe okay, me and Leon are going to try and find a way out - maybe find out who or what caused this.. although I have a feeling I know who.." I tried to whisper the last part so they wouldn't question me, and I guess it worked. Claire nodded, "Both of you be safe, we can all make it out of here." I nodded, and just after that the plan exploded, causing the alarms to ring and go off. "I guess that means it's dinner time.." Leon joked and I shook my head, chuckling.
