Raccoon City

Annabelle groans, hearing the alarm go off as she felt herself being carried. She flutters her eyes open and saw that Ada, who was bandaged up and carrying her up the ladder. "Ada..." she mutters. "Shh, save your strength. we'll get out of here in no time." Ada assures her.

Annabelle tries to lift her head, but her body was too heavy to move and so she stayed on Ada's back as she opens the door and walks through the hall. "Why Ada? Why are you saving me?" Annabelle questions her.

Ada didn't answer her and kept running. "We have to get to the lab, that where the G-virus is," she informs her and continued down the hall. "Hey... answer my question." Annabelle weakly demands of her, but Ada still didn't answer as she hurried to the elevator and it took them.

Ada sets Annabelle back on her feet and she stumbles back against the wall and leans against the railing as her body was healing itself. "You'll be alright Anne," Ada assures her.

Annabelle then felt strong enough to stand on her own and she looks at Ada, seeing that her clothes were ripped, Annabelle looks down at herself and saw that her dress, leggings, and boots were ripped as well. "Here, use this," Ada tells her, handing her a gun.

She took it and they entered the waiting room, then hurried down the hall, making a right to the lab and entered William's lab.

Ada found the virus as Annabelle found the vaccine to the G-Virus. Ada took the case as Annabelle pockets the vial and they both hurried out of the lab and back to the elevator, but the building shook and they both stop and saw that the elevator, lost power. "The stairs!" Annabelle shouts and they both hurried to the door.

Annabelle kicks it open and they ran to the ladder and hurried right up to the first floor. But Annabelle stops as she knew the others were in trouble. "Anne! Come on, we have to go!" Ada calls out to her.

She looks up at her, "The others! they're in trouble!" she calls out to her, "They can handle themselves!" she assures her. "I have to save them!" Annabelle argues.

Ada glares down at her, "They left you for dead and now you're going to save them?!" Ada argues with her, but then gasp at the look inside her eyes. "Yes," she answers and ran off to find the others.

Annabelle hurried to the station and saw that Leon, Jacob, and Claire were in trouble, but she found an RPG, pulling it out, and tosses it down to them. "Use this!" she calls out.

They turn to her, trying to find her as she was standing on the ramp in the shadows. "Annabelle? Is that you?!" Leon calls out as there was a rocket launcher on the floor in front of them. "Use it and get out of here!" Annabelle calls out again and took off.

She then found a ladder and took it back to the surface, meeting back up with Ada and they hurried to get out of the underground.

They entered the police and fired at any lingering zombies. Annabelle looks outside and saw that the sun was rising. "Shit! We have to hurry!" Annabelle informs her.
