Resident Tale

Chapter 13: Ghosts of Veltro

One Year Ago...

Terragriga

The entire city was in smoke, helicopters, cop cars, and fire trucks were all over the place, buildings were up in smoke as people were running for their lives.

The General of Terragriga was on the phone with three survivors of the FBC were in the room with him, awaiting orders. One was leaning against the wall, as he was panting from all the running and grips his bandaged leg. Parker looks at him and walks up to him, "Still hurting cadet?" he asks him. 

He looks at him and shook his head. "No. I can still fight," he answers, making Parker smirk. "That's the spirit." he chuckles, "It's over. The city is finished." Jessica states as she knew the obvious. 

Parker sighs and looks back at the President. "Your efforts are commendable. This is one wake-up call that was long overdue. Fine work." Morgan states as Parker and Jessica were collecting more ammunition, the President then got off the phone and turns to them with his hands behind his back, "Jessica, Parker. Come in." he orders them, they look at him, "The facility has been breached. we're closing shop. Prepare to go home." he informs them. 

The two exchange looks, "Split up and get to the helipad on the room. that's an order." he orders them, Parker nods. "I'll cover the hallways with Jessica. Cadet, make sure they reach the helipad." Parker orders the man. The man pushes himself off the wall and scoffs. "Tch, fine," he answers then limps away. "Parker, they've started evacuation procedures here," Jessica informs him. 

He nods and they both look overseeing an older man walk into the room, "O'Brian?" Jessica questions. He waves at the President and salutes him, "I'm the only one left, General Morgan. The BSAA has pulled out." he informs him.

Parker exchange looks with Jessica, "I want you to know that the FBC is making a huge mistake." O'Brian states and the two head out through the double doors as Morgan and O'Brian continued with their conversation inside. "You think this is it?" Parker asks Jessica, "Not if we shoot all those sons of bitches first." Jessica reports to him. 

Then they walk down onto the main floor and saw the B.O.Ws running at them, "Here they come! Open fire!" Parker shouts and the two fired at them, "I don't think the two of us will be enough." Jessica informs him, "If we wanna make it out of here, it's gotta be. After this we head for the chopper." he informs her. 

The first wave falls and the two reloaded for the second, "How many are there? Did Veltro make them all?" Jessica questions. The second wave came and they fired at them, "We can't contain this. God help the world when they find out. Everyone will equate Veltro with Terrorism." Parker states.

Killing the second wave, "I think that's what they're hoping." Jessica suggests. Then more came at them, the two fired back, making the B.O.Ws drop like flies, but only one more took their place. So they killed them all and hurried to the back room and to the stairs, but stop as B.O.WS was climbing outside. "They climb walls, too? Great." Parker mutters to herself. 

The door of the elevator opens and out jumps a B.O.W Parker fires at it and it drops dead, "We're cornered, we have to hurry." Jessica informs him and they ran into the elevator and he presses the button for up. "Sorry to drag you into this." he apologizes to Jessica. She shrugs "That's fine, but you're buying me dinner next time. I'm ordering lobster." she reminds him. Parker smirks at him, but the elevator suddenly shook, making the two stumble a little, "What the--?" Jessica questions.

The doors open and they step out onto the floor, "Broke already?" Parker questions, Jessica sighs "And that was the last working elevator. How do you feel about the stairs?" Jessica informs him. As they walk through the hall and into a room, "Actually, I'm not sure how I feel about stairs." she mutters and a B.O.W jumps through the window, they both fired at it and continued on into the next hall as a B.O.W jump away and ran down the hall, away from them.
