Raccoon City 1998

Chapter 7: F*cking Chief Irons & G-Monster

Climbing up the ladder, Claire pushes the lid of the tunnel open, she peeks out and looks into the garage. "See anything out there?" Jacob calls out to her. "Nothing. The coast seems clear. I'll head up first." she informs them and slides the lid out of the way and climbs out. "All right, you're next, one foot after the other," Jacob tells her.

Sherry climbs out of the tunnel, "Here." Claire held out her hand to her and pulls her out, followed by Jacob. He pulls himself back to his feet and looks at the others, "Come on." she tells them and they look ahead at the closed shutter gate "Over here!" Sherry calls out as she ran to the shuttered gate. Claire shot a look over at Jacob as he grins "Let's go." he said and they hurried after her.

Sherry came to a stop and looks at the gate, "It's closed..." she mutters, Jacob steps up next to her and places his hand on her shoulder.

Claire steps over towards the card scanner and had no means of getting through "Dammit. We need a key card." she informs them as she turns to them then spotted the vest Jacob was wearing. "Think you have a spare in those fancy pockets?" she asks him.

Sherry looks back at him as Jacob shrugs at her, "Sorry, not this time." he informs her, Claire just sighs at him and looks out at the gate. Sherry joins her as Jacob steps towards them. "Come on..." Claire mutters to herself. Then looks at the gate itself. "Here, come help," she tells them and grips the bars, Sherry joins her as Jacob places his rifle to the side and stood in front of the bars, and squats down.

They grip the bars and began to pull, but the gate hardly budges, they gave and pant to themselves. "Well, that work." Jacob jokes to himself, pressing his hands to his knees. Claire rolls her eyes at him and turns to Sherry, "And you're sure this is the way?" she asks her.

Sherry just turns back to her, "This is how my mom took me last time." she informs her. "That's better than nothing." Jacob agrees with her. Claire nods at him. "Sherry!?" a man calls out, making the three look back to the man stepping out of the shadows.

Claire stood up and steps out as Jacob leans back up and steps over next to her, they look out at the man in the shadows "I've been looking everywhere for you, Sherry..." the man informs her and she immediately hides behind Jacob, her action alert him as he glares back at the man. "Brave little girl to leave your house in the middle of all this mess..." he informs them.

Jacob held his arm out in front of Sherry as his instincts told him that this man can not be trusted. Then the man pulls his gun and aims it at them, proving him. "On the ground, hands behind your heads," he informs them. One look and it tells Jacob, this man had lost his mind a very long while ago. "You can't be serious..." Claire questions him.

But he fired a warning shot to the side of her, "On the ground. Now." he orders them again, "Apparently, he's dead serious." Jacob whispers to her as they raised their hands and went down to their knees. The man reaches into his pocket and tosses zip ties to the girl. "Sherry, tie their hands," he orders her. She just looks down at them. "Why are you doing this?" she asks him, "Shut up. Tie them." he orders her again "You must of done this a lot, huh Chief Irons?" Jacob questions him.

Irons turns back and aims his gun at him, "You, not another word." he tells him, but Jacob glares right into his eyes as the barrel was in front of his face. "How many died at your hands, I wonder? Were they all teenage girls or were they also children?" he questions him.

Irons pistol whips in right in the face, knocking Jacob to the ground, "Hey!" Claire calls out and Irons aims his gun at her. Jacob groans as he pulls himself back up and spits out some blood that collected in his mouth. "You keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you," Irons warns him. Jacob raised his hands as he inhales sharply with a chuckle "Oh I am going to enjoy killing you, piece of shit." he states, Irons looks back at Sherry, "Hurry up and ties them up." he orders her.
