				5 days….It’d only been five days…. As he sat in the press box at the Ridgewood stadium Chief Griggam found it hard to believe. In truth the first signs of trouble had been there for at least 4 days…probably 5 if anyone did any real digging. The mayor and his family suddenly deciding to go on an unplanned vacation, a rise in the number of missing animals, the steady disappearance of the homeless. Griggam had been told by the mayor via phone contact, before the lines out of town stopped working, to suppress and sweep under the rug all of the reports. The mayor insisting that they were nothing but coincidence. And now it was too late. The city was cut off and quarantined. No one was coming to save them anymore.<br><br>Three days ago the ‘riots’ had started at least that’s what they thought they were at first…Griggam had dispatched teams to quell them only to find that none of their non-lethal deterrents were worth a damn at breaking up the groups. It wasn’t until they started eating his men that the truth was realized.<br><br>By that cell phones no longer worked in town, the internet was gone, the phone lines out of town were down….Rockford had been taken off the map. Griggam had worked fast from that point on. He’d mobilized every civil service the city had. Placing all of his officers, as well as all the city’s firefighters, and paramedics ‘on duty.’ Hell he’d even called in the meter maids. He’d set up several ‘evac zones’ around the city. Using every police, fire, and medical helicopter to try to start flying people out. The ‘evac zones’ had started falling within an hour and Griggam had been forced to centralize them creating three ‘havens’ in the city. One at the police station, another at the football stadium, and a the last at the docks.&nbsp; For the next day they’d used the boats at the docks to ferry people across the river as well as the choppers to lift people out of the stadium, and all of the police cruisers, swat vans, riot cars, and even slow ploughs to move people from the station to either the docks or the stadium. The pace had been slow as every flight and boatload was stopped and inspected by the Army troops that were quarantining the city. <br><br>Last night he’d received word from his man in charge of the police station that the situation there was lost and they were pulling out. An hour later only three vehicles from the station made it into the stadium, one riot car, a cruiser, and a garbage truck. As of three hours ago there was no word from the docks. Their last transmission stating that they were running low on ammo….He hoped they’d had the brains to pull out and sail away before it was too late. There were only 2 choppers left the others not returning after their last flights…either lost in transit or grounded by the Army.<br>Looking at things realistically Griggam knew the situation was lost….He’d sent his family on one of the first flights out. And now it was time to join them. He grabbed his radio and dialed up the frequency he’d been using for his chain of command. “Rome falls” he said firmly into the radio “I repeat Rome falls.”&nbsp; That was the signal to grab the two pilots they’d set aside to fly out his command chain, as well as to prep the last two choppers.<br><br>He got up from the desk and began to walk towards the make shift landing pad they had set up in the center of the stadium. As he got out onto the actual green he could hear the sounds of a city dying. Gunfire going off both at the entrances to the stadium. Where his men were fighting to hold the monsters back, as well as deeper in the city where only God knew what was going on. The civilians were constantly being told that everything was under control. Griggam wasn’t worried about them storming the choppers, which were guarded. Within 5 minutes he was in his chopper along with his command staff. And both of the choppers were lifting off. As they flew away Griggam looked down at the stadium. Seeing just how surrounded it was…it wouldn’t last another hour. He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. He didn’t like leaving them…but in the end it was about survival and he’d survived.<br><br>Down on the ground, at post 5 on the south end of the stadium the men assigned to guard the doors weren’t scared, as a matter of fact they weren’t anything they’d been overrun 5 minutes before, unable to even radio a warning, the doors were wide open and the monsters were flooding in. The end had begun.<br><br>

				David King looked up as he saw the helicopters taking off from the center of the stadium. “Looks like some more lucky ones got their freedom papers” he said out loud, they'd been flying people out all day, the helicopters would fly out then come back and fly out again. David could only imagine how tired the pilots had to be. He shook his head, they'd held a big raffle the first day assigning everyone a 'evacuation number.' Which would dictate the order people were take out...Davids was pretty high he had no doubt they'd be in hot water before he left in one of the choppers. So he'd made a plan just in case the shit hit the fan. He could hear gunshots from outside the stadium they'd been going on all day. He like everyone else had no idea that the stadium was already breached and that the slow shuffling nightmares would soon be inside.

				Ryan was vaguely aware that he had some number to go somewhere. He didn't care about leaving. He had spent the entire time that he had spent in the stadium trying to locate his parents. He watched the helicopters leave and come back, praying to god that his parents had left the hell hole he found himself in. He was happy that finally some of the gunshots had ended, he even got a small grin, thinking that the worst of it had to be over.

				Eden sighs, her head dropping for a moment. She's holed up on top a roof. The only door's barricaded well and she's had time to prepare. Whatever is happening is big. The military doesn't get involve unless it is..<br>So, she's stocked up on food and water. She has enough to last a week but she knows she'll move before then... She has to find a better place that has more shelter then a roof top.<br><br>The stadium looks deserted, the army's pulled out. There's a good chance they've left some supplies....Eden cocks the rifle and scans the area as she considers her options. A shot takes out a dead head before she rolls away, gathering up her rope. One eye still on the street Eden begins to tie knots, making the rope easy to climb. <br><br>She's seen the things move, she can out run them if needed and she can climb faster then them for sure. She'll get down, hit the stadium, get supplies and get back here. Quick and clean. <br>Eden nods and kneels again, taking aim at the dead heads to clear an entrance.<br><br>Finishing Eden checks her equipment, slinging her rifle&nbsp; over her shoulder as she sheaths her blades. Checking the street one last time, Eden begins to climb down.<br><br>Street level she trots into the stadium, assault rifle ready......

				There had been several people hiding within the buildings surrounding Eden's though one by one each house had fallen to the zombie horde. Most of the buildings' former inhabitants had followed the other undead towards the other side of the stadium, where the convoys entered an exited....Most but not all. As Eden ran towards the stadium those who were still inside the buildings saw her and began to give chase. Most of them shuffling slowly after their target. Their motor reflexes and nervous systems having suffered under the infection. But some....the more recently infected were still able to run and they did. Moans could be heard as the doors of the buildings flew open and several zombies came running out after Eden, followed closely by countless others shuffling behind them.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>As this was happening, officers Bill Paxton and Lou Donowitz, the men tasked with protecting the door facing Eden's area watched it all, they saw the woman running towards the door, then the large horde of creatures coming out from hiding to give chase. Bill threw open the door and shouted out "hurry up! Their right on your ass!" As he did this Lou drew his pistol and began to open fire, attempting to take down the runners who were closing on Eden with an almost inhuman speed.

				Eden glances over her shoulder and sprints to the door. Cursing the entire way, she shouldn't have risked it....now she's....fuck!<br>Her rifle's drawn as she holds it down but ready, one gets too close...she's ready for it. <br><br>Reaching the door she jumps inside and slams it shut "damn it!

				Ryan's ears perk up when he hears the sudden firing, and he starts to drift over to the barricade. His eyes widen when he sees the woman run in and he immediately reaches for his sabre, not sure whether or not she had been bitten or not, shocked that the guards would even let her through the doors.

				As soon as she was inside Bill closed the door behind her as Lou re-holstered his pistol. “I didn't think there was anyone else left out there” Bill said “You're lucky to be alive” he shook his head as he watched the zombies press themselves up against the glass banging to get in. This side of the stadium had been equipped with Plexiglas-glass so there weren't any worries about the zombies breaking through it. Lou paused as he looked Eden up and down for bites “she looks clean” he said calmly. He then turned over to Ryan and said “we need to keep watching this side of the stadium...if you could take her to field with the rest of the people we'd appreciate it greatly”

				"oh hell no!!" With Eden's hair up and her body covered in bulky combat gear she is clearly military, but its hard to tell her gender.&nbsp; One must assume female because of her stature, but its possible she is a very short male.<br>"no, I'm not going to be herded with civilians. Whats the plan?"

				“The plan.....” Bill said “Is that myself and officer Donowitz stay here and make sure nothing goes wrong with keeping those things outside. While you two go back to the field and wait to be evacuated, then once all of you are evacuated we get to pull out and everyone gets to live...now if you try and complicate that in ANY way you can spend the rest of the day with a nice set of matching bracelets” As he says this his hand drifts towards the handcuffs on his belt as is to emphasize his point. “I don't give a shit if you're Marines, Navy, CIA, or the Salvation Army. You're going to do as you're told because if you don't you're going to slow things down and get people killed.” it was obvious by his voice that Bill was on his last nerve. Before he could continue with his rant Lou stepped in “look ma'm its obvious you know your way around a gun, but so do most of the people we're protecting at this point we don't need loose cannons, so just go inside try to keep calm and wait your turn to get air lifted out.” he then looked to Ryan “now please show her where everyone else is.”

				He just grins and shakes his head.<br><br>"The helicopters have been taking people in and out all day. They will be back soon to get rid of more people. Just come back with me, we'll get you a number and then we can figure out what plan it is that you are talking about, ok? Everyone is getting out of here slowly, but we're all going to make it."

				David had watched the entire thing from down the hall, he'd been walking around after making sure that the entrance to the pipe system he remembered was still there. It was and it wasn't locked which meant that he would be able to access it if he needed to. As he saw the woman finally give in and do as the cops said he began to approach her and the man next to her. Figuring at the very least it would be good to talk with some people and keep his mind off the damn zombies. He walked up beside them and said “hey, I'm David. Mind if I ask where it was you were hiding?”

				&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;David pauses as he sees Ryan start to walk around, normally he'd just let him keep on walking but these aren't normal times....it would be good to have at least a few friends in here. He “hey” he said to him “Just asking but what's your evacuation number?” he tried his best to keep his voice friendly he didn't want this guy thinking he was out to take his number. “is it as crappy as mine?” he asked trying to make it obvious that he was trying to start a conversation.

				David watches them bicker for a bit then says "First off this isn't a prison and the cops and firefighters aren't guards, they are trying to save our asses. And that means two things, one is that there is no us and them anymore.... the only sides are the living and the dead. The other thing that means is that there's more than one way out of here. And I know one of those ways....which is why I'd really like to know where you were holed up before you came here" he says to Eden "because if its close by, my way out might be able to get us over there.

				<em> The day before..</em><br><br>No matter where she went, there were zombies after her, trapping her in. They were slow, slavering beasts but Ashley had turned the wrong corner and hit a dead end. "Well, I didn't want to have to do this unless I had to. EAT THIS!" She screamed as she hefted her rocket launcher onto her shoulder. Pulling the trigger, she was pushed back by the rocket firing, and just managed to keep her balance as she watched it scream toward the horde. One explosion later, the way was clear and she checked the display. "3 left, better make them count." She regretted running out of ammo so soon, but if she wanted to keep alive, it was her only option. Besides, she wasn't used to this.<br><br>She paused the game and looked to her door. There was a knock and what sounded like a loud commotion outside. Opening the door, she was ushered out by the cop there and urged to head straight to the bus in the street. It was crowded inside, even the driver felt the limited space. Fortunately, she had managed to get the last seat and once the door shut, they were off.<br><br>The road was difficult, the amount of trash and bodies strewn around meant the bus was having to do very slow and that was when it happened. The 'riots' as they were referred to by the media before they were shut down had caught up, and Dana could see them in the window. SHe pushed her way to the front of the bus, and tried to urge the driver to go faster. "I'm going as fast as I can lass, any harder and I'm gonna shred the wheels." "Well screw this, I'm not dying here with you." She hit the emergency open button before anyone could say anything and ran out on the street. <br><br>She ran down the road ahead of the bus and took a few alleyways on the way to the stadium. She could hear the screams behind her as the bus was overwhelmed and she pressed on. A dead police officer was laid against a wall, handgun in hand and holster exposed, so she figured she could make more use of it. Quickly removing it from the corpse, she strapped it on herself and held the gun in her hand. She figured it was loaded and didn't know much more than point and shoot so didn't trust herself to carry it safely. It made her feel safer just having it though as she raced toward the stadium, where the bus was supposed to have headed.<br><br>She arrived just before the barricades were sealed and after proving herself unhurt and unnaffected, headed inside the stadium.

And finds himself wondering what's taking the helicopters so long to come back for the next group. <br><br><br><br>Though he doesn't realize it he won't even be able to eat his soup.

				POP! POP POP!! The gunshots rang out through the air. They were close to the soup line and gunfire this close was enough to stir up some panic among the civilians. <br><br>From the direction of the gunfire, Coop stepped backwards with his M4 held at his hip. He didn't fire randomly, not wanting to waste the little ammunition that he did have. As he stepped backwards, he rand directly into David, turning his head. "Ah something alive. I don't suppose you've run much today? There are about 4 dozen zombies shuffling that way and I'm about to run. Join me?" Coop's calm nature was just his front, he never showed panic because in his mind, if he showed panic than he was panicking. Even if he really was scared out of his mind, he wasn't about show it.<br><br>Coop tossed the M4 onto his back, the strap holding it on as he took a cigarette out and slipped it between his lips, taking off in the opposite direction, knocking over some soup bowls as he did.

				David looked up at the sound of the shots. Frowning those sounded a lot closer than usual....as he looked around he noticed flashes off in one of the halls “aww hell” he said and dropped his soup bowl. Turning and running towards the others. “Looks like they got in somehow” he said “I'm heading for my exit you're welcome to follow if you like its an entrance to the city sewer system which should get us out of the stadium." During football games and when the stadium was closed to the general public they were used to access the actual underbelly of the stadium. He'd spent all of yesterday checking each one and knew that it was the only one which was unlocked. From there he'd be able to get to the entrance to the sewers. "If anyone has a better idea I'll listen, if not that's where I'm heading!" his voice was rushed and urgent it was obvious he didn't intend to stand around for long.<br><br><br><br><br>As this was happening the first of the zombies became visible on the field.&nbsp; Soon there were dozens of them. In seconds there were hundreds, their numbers growing as they poured in. Panic set in almost instantly every person fearing death and running from the moaning creatures. People could be seen running every direction. As the last of the police officers either turned tail and ran or tried to mount a desperate and ultimately doomed defense. Unable to even slow down the main body of zombies who were already shambling towards everyone in the stadium.

				David continued to run, not looking back knowing that right now he needed to focus on getting out of here, especially if he had people who were trusting him to lead them out. He quickly threw open the door “Come on!” he yelled looking around seeing all the people he couldn't bring himself to keep his escape rout secret "this way!" he called "there's a way into the sewers!" he saw that most people either didn't hear him or simply didn't register what they'd heard. Shake his head he ran inside making a quick right at the first turn and running down the hall his mind replaying the directions he'd forced himself to memorize so that he wouldn't get lost. He quickly made a left at the second branch, then another right, then finally a left before stopping at the first door on the right. He opened it “inside!” he said firmly “there are flashlights on one of the walls grab them while I get the manhole opened!” He then ran into the room himself. Grabbing his crowbar he began to pry the manhole cover off. The room itself was small and bare, the concrete not even having been painted. David had had to use this manhole before when working for the city. It would lead down to the sewers and from there he could get them to the woman's building. His plan ran out at that point but he didn't care right now it was just about getting to a relatively safe place to decide on the next step.

Along the center of the floor ran one large pipe easily waist height it was the city's main septic lane. David kicked it softly “this is one of the main pipes” he said “it goes all through the city...” <br><br>&nbsp;David pulled out his own hand gun. As well as a roll of duct tape quickly taping the small flashlight to the barrel of the gun. Then putting the duct tape away. “this way” he said once everyone was down the ladder.

				The zombies had finally closed with the building there were now dozens of them reaching up for the climbing men, to fall was to die. Their moans and shrieks could be heard. As they attempted to reach the survivors. They were unable to climb or jump simply reaching up a sea of arms and teeth ready to devour any who fell amongst them.

"Alright...All at once! Pull!" Coop heaved the rope back in one giant motion.

				Tampering with the electronics of a car is not something to be taken lightly. Many different models have different electronic layouts. Especially those that cost quite a bit of money. Eden could have no way of knowing that the Hummer’s owner had had his mechanic connect the ignition wires to the wires for the alarm so that any sudden jolt, like the kind made when a car ‘jumped’ would cause the alarm to go off…the Hummer’s owner had been sure it would keep people for hotwiring his car. And he was absolutely right. The next time Eden struck the wires together the car started for a second before dying. The roar of the engine now replaced by the shrill whining of the alarm! <br><br>Off outside the building the zombies which had been distracted by the grenade heard the alarm and began to move back towards the building shuffling slowly, even more of them than before. The grenade having attracted others who had not already been interested in Eden’s building. But…that was not the biggest threat to Eden the biggest threat was the passengers in one of the vans in the far corner of the garage. A van labeled “Tom’s Pet Shop” was shaking hard on its chassis, until suddenly one of its windows exploded outwards. Revealing the&nbsp; &nbsp;creature &nbsp;(http://projectumbrella.net/files/imagecache/preview/images/Cerberus%20Resident%20Evil%202.jpg)&nbsp; that had destroyed it by jumping through.&nbsp; As the dog looked over at the Hummer it was joined by 3 others each one of them jumping out the window it had. They began to growl and snarl at Eden as they spotted her. Suddenly charging in her direction. Each one running alongside the other&nbsp; at an inhuman speed. <br>

				Eden curses, bringing her rifle up. She's in a crouched position, steadying her rifle as she fires. Two dogs drop, shot cleanly through the head, but Eden doesn't have time to get a third shot off. The dog leaps at her, Eden twists the rifle, blocking its snapping teeth with her rifle. She's pinned now,&nbsp; trapped under the dog and listening to the zombies shamble ever closer. <br><br>She grunts, arms straining to throw the dog. At this angle its nearly impossible....and she can't hold the rifle one handed... If she lets go she can reach her kukri but not before being bitten......

				“Shit” David says when he hears the car alarm “I knew she didn’t know what she was doing...I’m gonna go down and help. Be ready to move fast” says. Then before anyone can object he is already on the move working his way down the rope as fast as he can. <br><br><br>The dogs had worked well as a pack. They had lost half their number but the two who had remained had Eden dead to rights. Completely ignoring any injuries she caused to it the dog on top of her was constantly snapping at her trying to dig into her. The other dog was running fast along the outside moving to bite at her neck while its pack mate had her pinned.&nbsp; It ran towards her teeth bared…<br><br><br>David was on the ground and running towards the scene. He saw the dog moving to pounce. As it ran towards her side, he ran towards its. Without thinking he grabbed his crowbar, pulling the sheath off the knife as he ran. Swinging low and up clubbing the dog hard on the bottom of the head from the side. A wet CRACK could be heard as its neck broke. Moving fast David grabbed the crowbar in both hands as if it were a spear. And drove the blade into the other dog’s head, pushing the now dead body off Eden he looked down at her “are you hurt?” he asked. <br>

				She shakes her head, leaping to her feet "thanks! Help me roll the car!" She grabs the steering wheel and begins to push, heaving it towards the ramp. The orginal plan could still work....

				David looks over at her. “you won’t get ten feet out there if you’re just trying to push” he&nbsp; says “the shots have attracted them back…along with the damn alarm.” He forces himself not to blame her for the alarm figuring something just went wrong.&nbsp; “we need to either get into your car and get everyone else then drive the hell out of here or get a car started and use it as a distraction. Cause pushing this thing right outside the building then lighting it is only gonna attract more of them right to us. Can you hotwire a car or not?” he asks&nbsp;

				Eden shrugs "I only have about a quarter tank. Maybe take us 60 miles........." She turns and jogs to her car, throwing open the drivers side of her jeep patriot.&nbsp; "go! get the others....."She starts the car and closes the door, turning to look at him. Taking a deep breath she sprints to the side of the parking garage. Cursing at her luck, she throws her grenade

				David nods and runs out the other way. He hears the grenade go off but doesn’t even duck.&nbsp; &nbsp;At this point he can’t waste the time. He looks up at the edge “Everyone we need you to get down here now!” he calls out “They’re coming and we need to be moving!” As he says this he puts away his crowbar and draws his pistol. Looking around he can see a swarm of the zombies coming towards the garage and towards him. They are still a ways off but closing fast. This is going to be close.<br><br><br><br><br>The grenade roles into the front of the horde of zombies. A second later it goes off. Sending shrapnel in every direction. Wounding several of the zombies, the sharp shards burying themselves in the creatures shoulders, arms, legs, stomachs…but very rarely the heads. Grenades are designed to wound…to tear peoples innards out, to cut muscle and make limbs useless. Against a foe who has no use for any of these things they are not the best solution. A few of the zombies fall, either from damage to their brains, or from losing a leg or foot. But most are simply stunned for a second before moving on towards the building their moans growing louder and louder with every passing second. <br>

				Eden rolls the car close, knowing she made a good choice in getting tinted windows. There's a chance if they move so and none look in the windsheild.....they can get by unnoticed. The Jeeps idling as she waits

				He runs to the car. throwing open the door and putting the girl down. He stands behind the open door pointing the gun down the way at the advancing zombie horde, muttering to himself about the time it takes for people to run back and forth.
