The Tyrant's footsteps were Heard as Maria and Leon were standing. They saw it going down stairs as Maria and Leon slowly went back down. The Tyrant was looking aggressive when he pressed his foot on a plane which breaked as Maria whispered.

Maria: Mister X is blocking the way, What do we do?

Leon: Lets Lure him somewhere.

Maria saw a bottle as The Two went near an apartment and threw the bottle downstairs as The Tyrant heard the noise and walked faster to the noise. They both were hiding as They slowly went back upstairs to continue getting to Aparment 83.

Maria: Was he always mad like that?

Leon: Are you talking about the tyrant?

Maria: Yeah.

Leon: Well he is more aggressive then before. The time I met him. He was still aggressive but not like right now.

Maria: Looks like we Really need to be careful.

Leon: Of course

Maria and Leon got to apartment number 83 as The door was already opened. They pulled their guns out in case of any danger as They opened the lights and saw the rooms were dirty, And alot of the furniture was misplaced.

Leon: I think the tyrant did this.

Maria: Wait what? How???

Leon: Because I heard the couch moving and things being thrown. Maybe he was finding us.

Maria: Ahhh Okay then.

Leon: You never heard the noises?

Maria: Nope.

Leon: *Sighs* Your way too noisy thats why.

Maria: What did you say!?

Leon: Stay quiet, What if the Tyrant find us??

She glared at him as Leon just sighed and turned. They were walking to a room as They pushed some of the chairs away and opened the door. It was the bedroom as they saw one draw locked.

Leon: Seems like this is where he hides everything.

Maria: Hehe Jackpot.

He smiled at her as Maria saw a bloody crowbar in the ground and picked it up.

Maria: Did Calvin used this?

Leon: Maybe he was protecting himself.

Maria nodded and looked under the bed as Leon was standing.

Maria: I found a key!

Leon: Good, Lets see it.

Maria got up and showed the key to Leon as He used it on the locked drawer and it opened.

Maria: Calvin doesn't know how to be secretive. Hehe

Leon: Heh, True.

They saw a bunch of notes as both if them picked up the notes and started looking at it.

Leon: So Many drawings of monsters.

Maria: Yeah, I think I remember some of these.

Maria saw a note as She began reading it.

Bloody Life! Thats what's going on right now. Three weeks ago something happened to a family. They were looking pale and different. I took a picture of them and left. Sometime later I heard that they were going to the hospital. A doctor and a few nurses went to check on the family......But They all never came back. When one of the nurses entered the room. She didn't see anything. All she saw was....The floor covered in blood. She screamed as most of the staff went to check an got tramutized. Next thing that was heard in the news. They saw the Sick family... Differently. They started biting some people in the Main street and everyone ran away.. I didnt know what was happening. But I am somehow interested to see this since two years.

Leon: What the.......

Maria: It all started...from a family?

Leon: Geez... and He is interested about this outbreak now.

Maria contacted Melissa in the Radio and told her the whole story. Of course Melissa was shocked about it and almost blamed herself for not knowing it. The outbreak spreader because of one family. People are going crazy because of this.

They continued to read more notes of what's happening in this outbreak. It was very much different then the other ones. Suddenly the two heard something as They put the papers down and looked.

Leon: *Pulls out Pistol* Doesnt sound good. Dont make any noise.

Maria: Right.

Suddenly they saw something in front of them as They stepped back and just saw a man all bloody. Holding a knife. They pulled their pistols out and looked at the man. It seemed to be a normal human but they weren't sure.

Maria: Thats not a zombie, Is it?

Leon: Doesnt look like one...But I'm not sure.

Man: ..............I...

Maria and Leon stared as The Man walked front as Maria shouted.

Maria: Dont move!!

Man: ......Kill. Kill. Kill.

Maria got a bit creeped out by its words as Leon noticed and held her hand.

Leon: Not another step, Speak now.

Man looked at them as It had eyes of tiredness, It was red. The Man looked a bit scared as He held his head.

Man: Im not doing it.... IM NOT!!!!

They both stared as the Man was kept holding his head. He saw a Machete as He grabbed it and stared.

Man: No Surviors! Just blood!

The Man made a noise and Ran towards the two as They were about to shoot him but suddenly They heard a machine gun being shot as The Man was getting shot by it and fell down. They were both confused until they saw someone.

???: Gosh, These Mainiacs Are you two okay?

Maria: We're fine...But who are you???

???: My Name is Gerald Rivers. I'm from EXO in the Delta Team. I came here to look for my team members.

Leon: They're actually not in this hotel.

Gerald: I know, They went missing actually.

Maria: What!?

Gerald: I'm feeling worried for them too. I lost contact from them so suddenly. So I came to investigate.

Leon: I see then. I hope everything will be fine for your team. We heard that they came here but then left after the saw the Tyrant.

Gerald: I heard about that. But they never told me where they went after that.

Leon and Maria looked at eachofher as Gerald noticed some notes.

Gerald: Are those useful?

Maria: Not really. But this one is.

She showed the note of the beginning of the outbreak three weeks ago as Gerald was shocked.

Gerald: It all started from a family??? This is terrible.

Leon: True. We are at the same person who started 2022 outbreak.

Gerald: Ahhh, Okay then. How about you two follow me. We can get out of here then I can go look for my team?

Maria: Okay, We need to be careful though-

Gerald: The Tyrant is already gone actually. I lure him outside and He was looking aggressive when he couldn't find the team.

Leon: He was trying to find us actually.

Gerald: I see then. Come on, Lets go now.

They nodded as They followed Gerald while Leon was talking to Maria.

Leon: Are you alright?

Maria: Im fine, Why?

Leon: Nothing. You looked a little scared when you saw that crazed man.

Maria: His words just creeped me out only.

Leon: *Touches Maria's shoulder* I understand. But you need to be strong during this. Everyone is going insane because of this. And I know you can't be one of them.

Maria: *Smiles* I didnt know you were that motivational to others.

Leon: Ehhh I try.

Maria: Well good for you then hehehe.

Leon smiled as Maria smiled with him. They slowly left the hotel as Gerald looked at them.

Gerald: Where are you two heading?

Maria: I'll ask my boss Melissa, She us going to lead me somewhere.

Gerald: Okay, I'm gonna go now.

Leon: Where are you going??

Gerald: Swimming Center. Thats where my team were last seen.

Maria: In a Swimming center? I see then. Good Luck and Be careful.

Gerald nodded and left as Maria stared at Leon.

Maria: Uhhh I have a question.

Leon: Go on.

Maria: ............Are you single?

That made Leon surprised and stared at her as Maria covered her face in embrassment

Maria: Thats a stupid question! I know!

Leon: Uhhh why are you asking me this???

Maria stood quietly as Leon just stared at the ground.

Leon: I am...single.

Maria: O-Okay then! Im contacting Melissa right now. Wait.

Leon just stared at her as She turned and contacted Melissa. Leon just chuckled while seeing Maria's red face.

Unknown Area.

The Women was standing near the alleyway as She smiled.

???: Quietness....I like it.

????: Along with what?

She turned to see the black coated man starring at her in blankness as She had a smirk.

???: Screams, Pain and Agony. It makes me satisfied...

The Man nodded as She smiled at him.

???: Delta team is somewhere in a restaurant. I hacked into their signal and radio so they wouldn't get any lead or such.

????: Very smart of you.

???: I might kidnap them too.

????: Why though?

???: To make The Alpha team's mission harder. Plus its only Two people.

????: I know the Women, But who is the guy?

???: *Smiles* Its Mister Kennedy.

????: Really?

???: Yes, He is with the young women since the rest of her teammates died.
