| EAST BREAKROOM |

Walking up the flight of stairs, there was a room to our right that we decided to go into. It looked like a breakroom. Me and Leon pulled out some of the chairs for us to sit down, I let out a big sigh and ran my hand through my hair after I sat down my handgun on the table, Leon sat down in front of me across the table and did the same as I.
"Jesus, I can't wait to get out of here and relax." I sighed, almost face planting into the table, "Well, I was thinking when we get out of here - I don't know what's going to happen to any of us, but I was hoping you'd let me take you out for a meal sometime." He tried not to make much eye contact with me while he spoke, which was understandable.
I thought for a few seconds before I could reply, "Oh-..sure! I wouldn't mind having a couple of dinners with you." I chuckled, smiling at him which he returned the favor and smiled back at me.
We only sat for a few minutes, long enough to have a conversation before we decided to continue on our dangerous journey. I walked towards the sink, hoping the water was turned on so I could splash my face with water - I glanced over at the foldable chair that was sat in the middle of the room, sitting on it was a fuse that I decided to grab.
Once I finished up I walked back to where Leon was sitting and dangled the fuse in front of him, "Don't know what it's for but it looks useful." I shrugged and let him see it before shoving it back in my pocket, "You're right, good eye Val!" He smiled and patted my shoulder while standing up.

| EAST HALLWAY |

We collected our things and headed out the door, walking down the hallway where we was met with a few zombies — it took us a while to take them all down, but once we did we realized where we were from seeing the other half of Eliot's body. "Oh god-" I gagged and covered my nose.
Leon noticed the missing fuse from the fuse box and walked over to me and grabbed it out of my pocket and put it in the box, which opened the shutter.

| WATCHMANS ROOM |

Eliot started crawling towards us and I shook my head, trying not to gag as I uncovered my nose, "Leon- I can't shoot him." I coughed, holding onto his arm, Leon shook his head, I knew he didn't want to shoot him either - nor did I have the strength to do so either.
Leon aimed his handgun at Eliot's head, I held Leon's hand, trying to hold his steady enough to shoot - I turned to look away and Leon did the same, pulling the trigger "POW."
It only took one shot, and there was no more growling.
I turned back around to look at his body, it had stopped moving and I couldn't feel nothing but remorse, it was the right thing to do - but maybe he didn't need to go out that way.
Leon snapped me out of my thoughts by placing his hand around me and pulling me in for a hug, "I promise, i'll get us out of this place, even if it's the last thing I do."
I was a little shocked at his words, all I could do was nod, "We'll be okay." I whispered to him, smiling. We both nodded and let go, I grabbed my handgun and held it to my side while we continued on, Leon took front.
We walked back into where we first came in after meeting Claire, "Huh, this place is like a maze." Leon chuckled, "Tell me about it, i've worked here for a few years and it still confuses me."
We walked through the East Office and back into the Main Hall.

| MAIN HALL |

Neither of us knew where the last part would be, so we decided to start looking in the spots where it might be obvious for the part to be there.
Walking to the statue where the secret underground passage was, Leon and I saw Marvin sitting in the same spot he was when he first left him, "Oh god Leon what if he-" Leon shushed me when he began to hear a low growl, soon after Marvin started trying to stand - wobbling. "Oh god Marvin, not you too." Leon shook his head, I aimed my handgun at him when he started getting closer, "We don't have a choice Leon, I'm sorry." I shook my head, shooting Marvin in the head - he dropped to the ground, "We'll stop this Lieutenant...I promise." Leon whispered to Marvin, I patted Leon on the back to reassure him once again.
