Town of The Living Death II Ch. 1
By Ryu Dragon

BAM !!! BAM !! BAM !!

Sound of gunshots is heard over and over from the shooting room. There are several officers practicing in the room, one of them is a beautiful girl, she wears a blue beret, shirt, pants, black military boots and leather gloves. She also wears protector glasses to protect her eyes from bouncing bullets and an ear protector headphone to covers her ears. While she’s practicing, a man enters the room, walks toward her and taps her shoulder. She stops shooting and faces the man. “What is it, Carl ?” – Girl.

“Chief’s calling.” – Carl.

“Oh, ok, thanks.” – Girl. She pushes a button on her side to pulls the paper target back. As the paper comes back, Carl’s eyes went wide.

“Geez, Jill. Eight shots, all on the head ? you’re a real killer, girl.” – Carl.

“Who do you think I am ? I’m the zombie killer.” – Jill. She smiles and walks out the shooting room. She goes to the Head of S.T.A.R.S office and knocks on the door.

“Come in.” – A man’s voice from inside the office.

Jill walks in and closes the door. The office is clean and neat - typical executive office. There are two brown bookshelves, a big brown L-shaped work desk, an executive work chair, two wooden guest chairs, some certificates and pictures hanging on the white wall. On the work desk, there are several papers and folders stacked neatly in two columns, a PC, a telephone, a table lamp, pen holders and a name board – the name on the board is ‘Harry Gunt’. Behind the desk there is a forty years old man sit on the executive chair, he is writing something on a notebook. As Jill closes the door, he stops writing and greets Jill.

“Jill, come, take a seat please.” – Harry.

“Morning , sir.” - Jill walks toward Harry, salutes, and sits on one of the two guest chairs.

“Morning, Jill.” – Harry.

“You’re looking for me, sir ?” – Jill.

“Yes, I want you to take a look at these photos.” – Harry. He hands out a bundle of photos to Jill.

Jill takes the photos and takes a look on them. As she flipping through the photos, her eyes become wide and her hands tremble. The photos show some pictures of zombies and some pictures of city in flame and chaos. “Is this Umbrella’s doing again ?” – Jill.

“No, that’s not Umbrella’s doing. This time it’s a different organization who’s responsible, its called Shadowloo.” – Harry.

“Shadowloo ?” – Jill.

“You don’t know ?” – Harry. Jill shakes her head. “I’m surprise that you don’t know, Shadowloo is a big major crime organization. It’s equally as big and bad as Umbrella, they don’t hesitate to do any crimes to achieve their goal.” – Harry.

“And they’ve created the same virus as the Umbrella ?” – Jill.

“We’re not quite sure about that. It’s the Interpol who works on that case. That event happened about a month ago in a small city called Fox City. They contact us about that case because they know that we’ve had a similar case like that” – Harry.

“I see. Are there any survivors ?” – Jill.

“Yes, there are twelve survivors from that city, six children, two town residents, and four tourists.” – Harry.

“Wow, whatever they did, they’re sure better than us. We’ve got fewer survivors than them.” – Jill.

“Yes, apparently it’s the four tourists that were managed to save the town peoples and destroy the secret lab in that city.” – Harry.

“Some tourists they are. Are they some kind of military people or something ?” – Jill.

“Nope, they are fighters, street fighters. Here are their data.” – Harry. He hands out some papers to Jill.

Jill takes the papers and studies them “Street fighters ? They must be one h*ll of street fighters to survive that h*ll. Hmm… Ryu, Ken, Ryu Dragon, Rogue… All of them are karate-do. So what these got to do with us ?” – Jill. She puts the papers on the desk.

“Well, some days after they destroyed the entire lab and killed the Shadowloo leader, the Interpol got news that the Shadowloo is join forces with Umbrella. And not only that, it appears that the Shadowloo leader, M.Bison, is still alive.” – Harry.

“Join forces with Umbrella ? But we’ve destroyed their HQ long time ago (Refers to Resident Evil Official Comic Book).” – Jill.

“Well, it appears that they’re not dead yet.” – Harry.

“So what are they going to do, I mean the Interpol.” – Jill.

“Its should be what are we going to do, Jill. The Interpol had asks help from us, because we knows a lot about the Umbrella. They asked us to join forces with them to destroy Umbrella/Shadowloo. And you’ll be that help, Jill.” – Harry.

“Me ? But, sir, I’m still looking for Chris now (Refers to Jill’s RE 3 Epilogue). Can’t you send someone else, like Barry ?” – Jill.

“Jill, in case you forget, Barry is investigating other case in Europe, and the rest of the S.T.A.R.S member are either still green or on other assignments. At the moment, you’re the best that we got that knows about this case.” – Harry.

“Who else coming with me ?” – Jill.

“No one, just you alone from S.T.A.R.S.” – Harry.

“What ? That’s ridiculous. What about from Interpol ?” – Jill.

“Three of their best agents. This agent will be the one who’s in charge for the case.” – Harry. He hands out some papers again to Jill.

She takes the papers and studies them “ Xiang Chun Li, Han Lung, Tommy Krauss.” – she reads the agents name. “And this Chun Li will be in charge for the team ? But only four agents against that two big organizations ?”

“Chun Li will be in charge for the team, and the fighters that survived the event in Fox City will also help.” – Harry.

“But, sir, they are civilians !!” – Jill.

“True, but they are as good as us. And Jill, you’re looking for Chris, right ? There’s might be a chance that you can find Chris while you’re in the team, ‘coz Chris also investigating Umbrella, right ?” – Harry.

“Oh okay, I’ll go. But you must inform me if Chris comes back or if there is any news about him.” – Jill.

“That’s my best agent.” – Harry smiles. “Don’t worry about Chris, soon after Barry finishes his case, we’ll assign him to look for Chris. And I’ll be sure to tell you if there is any news about Chris, personally.” – Harry. He takes out a plane ticket and a big brown folder. “This is a plane ticket to Seattle for tomorrow, there will be someone to pick you on the airport, I think it’ll be Chun Li herself. And study this information in this folder and about those fighters and agents. If you need any weapons, just ask.”

Jill takes the ticket, the folder and the data. “Thank you sir. I’ll get some weapons later, any weapons, right ?” – Jill smiles.

“As long as you’re not asking for nuclear missile.” – Harry grins.

“I though you said any weapons.” – Jill grins. “Alright sir, if there is nothing else, I have to go home and pack.” – Jill stands, salutes and walks toward the door. She’s about to get out when Harry calls.

“Good luck Jill, and be sure to blow them up.” – Harry.

“I will sir. I will.” – Jill smiles and gets out the office.
