"I think we need to check up here." You point to the storage area on the map.
"Right, I found a crank so I think we can open the way to those stairs." Leon claps his hands together. You guys all find your way to the hall. Leon takes out the crank and opens the corrugated door.
"Hey, I know where we are. This is the chief's office. I went through here when we split up. I didn't explore upstairs just downstairs." Claire points to the door with the heart on it.
"Sweet! I'm guessing that's where your keycard is?" You reply as you all start up the stairs.
"Yep." You guys decide to try the storage room first. You find some good ammo, and the gear for the clock tower. Leon puts it on his waist. You find a few herbs and put them together.
"What are you doing?" Claire asks while you crush the herbs.
"Making some healing items for us. The green and red herbs together will help make you feel a little more awake, in less pain, and let you heal a little faster. It obviously won't cure everything, but a lot can be helped. If we find a blue herb, that adds an extra kick and helps with poisons." Leon is listening as well as Claire.
"I was always curious why you kept grabbing plants." Leon jokes as he reloads.
"Could've just asked." You say with a smile. He blushes in embarrassment before clearing his throat.
"Let's get moving..." Claire shoots you a look before you both follow Leon out.
"If we weren't in the worst situation, I'd ship you two." Claire whispers to you, and you blush.
"Shut it, if we make it out of here, I'm gonna pursue that man, but until then, I'll just admire from afar." Claire nods gravely at your heavy sigh.
"I understand that. If it doesn't work out, can I have a go?" She winks at you, and you laugh.
"I'd be mad if you didn't. He's such a sweetheart that he deserves a good girl." Leon turns around and crosses his arms.
"Can you two stop gossiping and help me find the solution to our problems?" He had gone through the door while you two stood in it, not wanting to talk in the rain. You both giggle.
"Right, sorry, Leon. We're coming!" You say hurrying into the rain after Claire. He rolls his eyes playfully before smiling. You follow Leon and Claire down the ladder but halfway down it starts to break off. "Jump Sera! I'll catch you!" Leon yells. Barely letting go as the ladder falls with you, you land in Leon's arms instead of the ground.
"Holy Shit!" You say, clinging to Leon like a koala.
"You ok?" He asks into your hair. You nod, and he sets you on your feet.
"Damn, guess the only way we're moving forward is past that helicopter." Claire stares at the downed ladder in annoyance.
"Guess we better find a way to put the flames out then. To bad the rains not enough." Leon says as he inspects a lever before pulling it.
With a squeek you jump out of the water that just got dumped on you. "LEON!"
"Sorry..." He gives you an apologetic look. "We should check downstairs for a way to switch it to go out that one." He points to the pipe. You both nod to the man as he starts that way.
Heading down the metal stairs you kill a few Zombies, gather more supplies, find a key, and then switch the lever for the water.
Heading back upstairs, you guys watch the water douse the flames, "Wish the rain could've done that." Leon grumbles.
You pat his arm as you follow Claire inside.
"Its gonna be ok -" you're cut off as the helicopter lifts out of the way revealing a huge grey man in a black trenchcoat and fedora.
"Jesus Christ!" Leon shoots.
"What the fuck!" You stumble backwards.
"Holy Hell!" Claire shoots as well.
Turning, when the bullets do nothing, you guys run back outside. "What do we do?"
"We're gonna have to juke him and run back inside." Claire points as the guy comes out. He isn't moving to fast, so hopefully he's not to good at maneuvering quickly. With a nod to Claire you all run and Dodge the big grey dude. You quickly enter the building and rush down the hall. "Since we found the gear in the storage room. We should head to the clock tower." Leon runs beside you as you quickly hurry through the doors back through the police station.
"Do you think we lost him?" You whisper as you slow to a walk as you reach the opposite side of the main lobby. You all catch your breath.
"For now at least, but we better keep an ear out for his heavy footsteps. Let's go unlock that one Shamrock door since we found the key." Claire nods taking the lead. Leon walks behind you as you guys head down the hall. When you enter, you find another crank and some more ammo.
"I think this is for the jack in the library! If we move the bookshelves we can get through to the other side." You say excited.
Claire smiles, "And get to the clock tower!"
"And get the hell out of here." Leon adds with a smile. You all high five. Claire uses her heart key on the other door and you guys make your way to the library.
As soon as you enter you see that you guys have a dilemma.
"Dammit. I'll distract the fucker, you guys move the shelves."
Claire hands Leon a different gun, "Here use this. I found it in the stars room after I got a USB drive."
"Hell yeah, Lightning Hawk!" Leon cocks the gun with a smile and shoots the man in the face. It doesn't do shit but knock his hat off. He immediately turns to Leon enraged.
You and Claire ran over to the shelves while Leon distracts the big asshat. When they're in place you and Claire go up the ladder. Leaning over the railing you call out, "Leon! It's open let's go!"
Leon runs up the stairs after the dude finally falls down on one knee. You all run through the door. Keeping up the jog, you quickly get to the other side after shooting two zombies.
"Let's get this done quick before he gets back up." Leon says after you all realize you'll have to ring the bell to get the box to fall. Of course it's in an inconvenient spot. Nothing can be easy in this station. You guys figure out the gears quickly and the bell rings. Leon grabs the part out of the box.
"Now let's get the fuck out of dodge."
