Note from the Author

Thank you for purchasing this book and thanks for giving my hard work a read. If you’re a fan of the Angel’s Nightmare Adventure series, this is going to be a bit of a different read. While it will be in the same universe as the actual series, it will be in a totally different point of view.

The Fifth Survivor will be in the point of view of George Fisher who is found in books 1.5 and 3 of Angel’s Nightmare Adventure. While it’s recommended that you read the actual series first before this side quest, this can be enjoyed as a standalone series. Just think of this new serial series as a different angle for the main series. Yes, there will still be zombies, biohazard creatures, and the mention of the evil Hybrid Corporation.

This will be a serial release, so expect new episodes every month or month and a half. This particular series will cover George’s story from the events before book one all the way to his death in book 3 – Nemesis.

Eventually I will do a serial series for each side character in the future. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Welcome to Episode One of The Fifth Survivor Side quest. For starters, please select your difficulty level.

Noob (Easy) – Zombies and Creatures do less damage. Pickups are doubled. Suitable for those who are totally scared of the dark or noobs.

Normal – Nothing more to say. Normal damage, ammo, and pickups. It’s normal mode.

Real Man (Hard) – This is the mode for real men! Enemies do more damage, ammo is less frequent, and you’ll be a badass. Well, at least hopefully that is.

Nightmare – Oh, now we’re talking! Double damage from creatures, ammo is really hard to find, and pickups have to be used very wisely. It’s not impossible, but improbable to beat.

You have selected Hard Mode!

On July 7th, 2007 the first ever zombie outbreak took place in Brooklyn, NY. Four survivors were able to escape and live through the horrors. These survivors included Angel, Maria, Luis, and Joe. While most literature says there were four survivors, there was one survivor that was never spotted or mentioned. He will always be known as the unknown survivor of the first outbreak.

This survivor is known as George Fisher and he knows the ins and outs of Hybrid. Behind the secret cloak of his job as a Janitor, he intends to expose Hybrid for their misdeeds from the inside out.

However, this secret survivor would rather be referenced as the “The Fifth Survivor.”

May 12, 2007

“I’m George T. Fisher and my normal job is being the jolly janitor of IS. 302. The school is located in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn. While I love being a janitor and all, my real job is too dangerous to reveal to the students. In fact, I don’t dare reveal what I do at night, on weekends, and during my vacation. I’m actually a writer for the Cypress Hills tabloid. Well, my family knows what I do, but I choose to write in a pen name known as The Fish Master.

I got the pen name because I’ve been known in my writing career to uncover some of the darkest secrets in Cypress Hills. I was responsible for putting away a serial killer all the way to a doctor who was supposed to be the friendliest doctor in town, but turned out to be part of a high powered mob family. It’s fair to say that my life is in danger these days. What saves me is my pen name. Many people want to know who the fish master is, but the only one who knows that is my third wife and of course myself. Too bad, my third wife is out of the country doing a job.

Today I’ve been assigned to cover a story where I interview a top researcher for the Hybrid Corporation. His name is Anthony Clark, only one of the sons of the powerful Clark family. I know his brother, Herman and he’s quite the douche. I hope that Anthony is not a douche himself. I’ll take my lockpick just in case I get hungry for more information. I’m a rather good lockpicker and cracked some of the biggest stories by stealing valuable information. I never tell my boss where I truly get my information. He seems like a good man, but you can never be too sure.”

I might be in my lower 50’s, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t have the dance moves since my disco days when I was a young buck. This old man still has some spunk left in him and is ready to deliver some justice, old school style!

George is a man that comes from a well respected German family in Cypress Hills. Despite the area being populated by mostly middle class Latinos, he is still given proper respect.

He suspects that the Hybrid Corporation is conducting less than ethical experiments and wants to see what is really going on behind closed doors. He isn’t part of any law enforcement organization, just a man who believes in the truth and makes a good living off from it.

Despite his ethical nature, he still hasn’t told his boss what his true intentions are. He knows if he does and gets caught, it could jeopardize his job and life.

He is rather old school in his methods, preferring to do things like detectives of the past rather than use the technology of modern times. While he’ll use a computer when needed, he prefers his brother doing all the dirty work when it comes to hacking. Finally, he prefers older styled weapons than modern weaponry.

George is rather knowledgeable about the Hybrid Corporation and wants to see what they plan to do when they arrive in his neighborhood of Cypress Hills. He decides to take his lockpick and his custom made dart gun with him in case he decides to make this a probing operation.

Picked up a Dart Gun. Darts: 10

Picked up a Lockpick. Lockpicking Skill Level: 1

He decides to sleep early to get some rest before his interview tomorrow.

May 13, 2007

He heads to JFK airport at 6 in the morning in order to catch the eight o’clock plane to California. Once George gets to the airport, he carefully keeps his dart gun hidden in his check-in luggage to avoid being stopped. Despite giving off a little sweat, he gets through security just fine.

Once he’s in the plane, he relaxes and actually enjoys his flight to Cali.

“I’ll admit JetBlue treats me well and the seats are rather comfortable.” He says in his head.

After an eight hour flight, he arrives at LAX airport. He’s in no rush since his interview is at four in the afternoon and it’s only two in the Pacific Time zone.

George makes a phone call to his brother.

“Hey Harry, how are you? I’m in California ready for my ‘interview’ with Mr. Clark. How did you manage with hacking into their security system?” He asks his brother.

“Well bro, I got good news and bad news… First the good news, I got into their system and I’ll be able to open some doors. The bad news, I won’t be able to disable the alarm should it go off and indeed Hybrid has something to hide if there is security like Fort Knox. To put it in simpler terms, it’ll be up to you if you want to go on with probing the building.” Harry gives his observations.

“Damn, not what I wanted to hear. I’m sure I could get through without being caught…” George says.

“I’m sure you could, but I have to say I would label this mission as ‘very risky’ and one that could put you in serious jeopardy. Trust me those ten darts are not going to get you too far and how will you hide the sleeping bodies?” Harry warns his brother.

“Ah… thanks for the warning. I’ll see what I do, depends on the answers I get from Mr. Clark. Not much we can do until the interview is over.” George replies.

George hangs up and decides to hail a cab to the downtown part of Los Angeles where the building is located. He has the cab take him to the hotel where he will be staying in and heads to his room to leave his luggage. George decides to carry only his dart gun, camera, and briefcase where he has his pen and paper. Instead of using his real name, he will go by the name of Terry Bond.

After preparing himself for the interview, he hails another cab to take him to the Hybrid Corporation headquarters. Once he gets to the HQ, George enters the building casually. The doorman asks him where he is going.

“Hello sir, where are you heading today?” The doorman asks.

“My name is Terry Bond and I have an interview with Anthony Clark. He is waiting for me. You can page him and let him know it’s the man from the Cypress Hills Tabloid.” George calmly tells the doorman.

The doorman calls Anthony and he gives the doorman the green light.

“Well sir, you can go up. Anthony has been waiting for you. He is on the eighth floor.” The doorman cordially says.

“Thank you.” George replies.

He walks to the elevator and takes it to the eighth floor. When he arrives at the eighth floor, he sees the receptionist sitting down. The receptionist is a beautiful Slavic blonde woman who is in her middle 20’s. She is wearing a white blouse with brown khakis along with a pair of white flats.

“Hmm… if I was younger I might have asked her on a date.” He jokily says in his head.

“Hi sir, can I help you?” She asks in a heavy Slavic accent.

“Hi my dear, I’m here to see Anthony Clark, he is waiting for me.” He replies.

“Oh ok, you must be Terry Bond, correct?” She asks.

“Yes that’s me.” He replies.

“You can enter.” She kindly says.

He enters Anthony Clark’s office and greets him.

“Hello Anthony, pleasure to meet you.” George says.

“Hi Mr. Bonds, how are you today?” Anthony says.

“I’m doing well. Anyway I would like to get started on our interview.” George replies.

George begins to interview and grill Anthony with some challenging questions. The one question that sticks out is what does Hybrid intend to do in Cypress Hills.

Anthony answers that Hybrid is already partnered with Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn to help spread the Raven Hawk cure. He also claims that in only 3-5 years a new hospital will be built in Cypress Hills by Highland Park funded by Hybrid to keep the town healthy. According to Anthony, the project “Raven Hawk” is supposed to be a cure for cancer.

George is astounded by the answer. He begins to think two possible scenarios. One is that Hybrid is really trying to cure cancer and the other is that they are using a cure for cancer as a front for something more sinister. Then he finds out that Anthony will be relocated to New York later in the year around the time Hybrid plans to expand.

After thirty minutes of questioning Anthony, the interview is over. While George has a few takeaways, he’s not satisfied by the knowledge he received. He feels that Hybrid and Anthony coming to Cypress Hills can’t be a coincidence. Not to mention, why would Hybrid be interested in the small town of Cypress Hills. It’s a part of Brooklyn that rarely gets any news attention.

Once the interview is over, he heads to the bathroom and gives a quick call to his brother.

“So what did you learn?” His brother asks.

“A few things, but I’m suspicious. I know it’s probably because I’m an investigative writer, but I don’t trust Hybrid coming to my hometown. Plus, Raven Hawk doesn’t sound like a name for something that will cure cancer. I call bullshit on that.” He answers.

“So what are you saying? Please don’t tell me you’re going through with probing?” His brother tries to talk him out of sneaking around.

“As dangerous as the mission might be, I need to find out the truth. It seems odd that they are interested in dealing with where I live. I hate to say it, but Cypress Hills is hardly a town worth investing in unless they want to use the small town of East New York to hide something. No, something is up and I gotta find out.” George answers boldly.

“You gotta be kidding me! Security is ridiculous in that building. I really hope you know what you’re doing because if you get busted there’s nothing I can do to save your hide.” His brother responds trying to knock some sense into him.

“Calm down, let me do the breaking and entering, ok? I have the perfect idea.” George calmly replies and then hangs up.

He waves bye to the receptionist and heads down the stairs claiming he needs the exercise. Spotting a maintenance room within the staircase, he picks the lock to the door and unlocks the door.

Lockpicking Skill has increased to Level 2!

Once he’s in the room, he sees the janitor. He decides to shoot a sleeping dart to the janitor to put him to sleep. He checks the size on the uniform. It’s a large which is perfect for him. He strips the janitor of his clothing and puts the janitor’s uniform on. George pulls out his fake mustache to avoid giving his identity away. He puts his clothes on top of a cabinet knowing the janitor will be asleep for hours.

Picked up a Janitor’s Uniform. This disguise should allow access to Anthony’s room without giving away any suspicions.

Picked up +5 Darts. Sleeping Darts: 14

He heads out of the room and locks the door to avoid suspicion. Then he heads back up to the 8th floor and tells the girl that he is going to clean the floor. He sees that Anthony is getting ready to leave for the day and waits until he leaves. Once George sees him leave, he enters his room pretending to be cleaning. He sees a locked desk and he tries to pick the lock, but is unsuccessful.

Requires Level 3 Lockpicking Skill.

He sees the file cabinet, which is easier to pick and decides to pick the lock on the cabinet. George is able to successfully get it unlocked. He closes the door and turns on the vacuum that is inside of the room to give the receptionist the idea that nothing suspicious is taking place.

Lockpicking Skill has increased to Level 3!

When he looks in the file cabinet, he is disappointed that he finds nothing incriminating. At the same time though, he is optimistic that perhaps Hybrid is really clean in their intentions. All of a sudden he finds a note within the files and it reads.

“Reminder: Appointment with the head of Woodhull Hospital on July 7, 2007. Topic: Hybrid and Woodhull merger.”

“Hmm… merger huh? I wonder what could be inside that desk. Let me try one more time.” He says looking to pick the lock on the desk.

This time he’s able to pick the lock on the desk. He finds something shiny inside.

Picked up a keycard. According to the tag it leads to the 2nd floor laboratory.

George calls his brother again.

“Hey bro, I hope you’re calling me to tell me that you’ve reconsidered.” Harry asks.

“No even better.”

“Oh no! Let me guess you’re going to become James Bond all of a sudden.”

“Harry, you must be a smart man. Actually, I found a key leading to their laboratories.”

“Oh George, so let me guess you’re going to just go down there and they will let you in because they like you, right? Are you out of you’re mind?”

“Yes I am, but I have a cover. I stole a janitor’s uniform and I’ll be going in as a janitor pretending to clean. I’m going to get a sample of this so-called ‘Raven Hawk”

“I’m not sure what you been smoking, but for your sake you better not be caught red-handed!”

“How about giving me a chance and having some confidence in your big brother for once, Harry? I might be in my 50’s but you know the expression 50 is the new 40 or in my case the new 30.”

“Fine George, I can reprogram the elevator allowing you access to the 2nd floor. You are one crazy man.”

“No too risky, I rather take the stairs so they will think less suspicious of me. Just get the 2nd floor door open from the stairway as I don’t have the keycard. I might be crazy, but not stupid.”

“Alright wise guy, I’m hacking in now.” Harry says as he hacks into the security system.

While his brother hacks into the security system, George heads down the stairs again and this time goes all the way down to the 2nd floor. Once he gets to the second floor, he sees the door is still locked. After a few seconds, he sees the keypad turn green indicating the door is unlocked.

He enters the 2nd floor and carries a broom pretending to be cleaning the floor. All of the guards and lab workers simply bypass him without incident. Looking for the lab area, he is unable to find it and decides to ask another janitor.

“Hey do you know where the lab is located, I’m new here.” George asks.

“Yeah, it’s down the hall and to your left. However, if you’ve been assigned to clean the area you must be escorted by a supervisor. They don’t allow janitors inside by themselves. You want me to call someone?” The worker asks.

“No that won’t be necessary, just wanted to know in the future. Someone told me that I will have to clean the lab sooner or later.” George answers.

“Alright man, I’ll see you around.” The janitor replies and returns to mopping the floor.

After getting the instructions from the janitor, he heads down the hall and turns to his left. George can see a couple of guards in front of the door. He also sees an electrical room where he can hide the bodies once he puts them to sleep.

When he sees nobody else is around, he gets onto the wall and peeks around the corner avoiding eye contact with the guards. Sweating a little bit, he aims his dart gun when the two look at each other. He shoots a dart to one of the guards.

“Hey Matt I had a question…” The guard says before he falls asleep.

“Daniel, hey Daniel. What the hell…” The other guard says before he is shot by a sleeping dart.

Sleeping Darts: 12

“Sleep tight you two, oh crap a camera! I didn’t see that, it would be too suspicious if I tried to move the men in the room with that camera on. I wonder if the electrical room has a DVR.” He says once he sees the situation.

He notices he has a set of keys in his pocket and finds the one to the electrical room. Opening the room, he sees the DVR is in the back. When he gets to the DVR he sees four cameras on the screen and he disconnects the camera showing the door to the lab.

“There goes that camera, but I think I should erase the recording on this puppy.” He says.

Do you want to stop recording on the DVR? Yes/No

George selects yes and recording has stopped on the DVR.

“Nice, now I just gotta make sure my old ass doesn’t get spotted.” He says.

After disabling the DVR, he grabs one of the guards and takes him into the electrical room. He tries to get the next guard, but another security guard is patrolling the hallway. He debates whether to take the guard out, but then decides against it figuring he wants fewer bodies around.

The guard doesn’t turn the corner towards the door to the lab, probably because he assumes the two guards are there by the door. George is relieved that he doesn’t have to take another body out. Once the guard leaves the hall, he grabs and drags the other guard into the electrical room. He turns off the lights and locks the door.

Using the keycard he got from Anthony’s room, he enters the hallway leading to the lab. In the lab area, he has to keep a low profile as he remembers that no janitors are allowed in the area. Plus anyone he takes out, he’ll have to leave them lying down as he doesn’t have time to waste. As he walks slowly through the hallway, he spots a couple of scientists talking to each other. So he decides to go through the other hallway and sees a couple of lab areas.

George crawls under the windows so that he isn’t spotted by the scientists from the window. A guard turns the corner and makes eye contact with George. In a moment of panic, he shoots a dart putting the guard to sleep. To his relief the guard falling on the floor doesn’t bring much attention and no one goes to investigate the fallen guard.

Sleeping Darts: 11

“With so many labs here, I wonder how I will get a sample of the ‘Raven Hawk’ and what it even looks like.” He says in his head.

That’s when he realizes that he’ll have to enter each lab room and investigate them individually. George spots the door for the first lab room and enters slowly. He shoots the scientist with a dart putting him to sleep and looks out for any guards. After seeing the coast is clear, he checks the room carefully for any sign of the ‘Raven Hawk’ vaccine. However, all he sees is empty test tubes and common liquids.

“Crap there are so many lab rooms, I’m bound to be caught. Hmm… a locker room, perhaps I can ‘borrow’ a uniform. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.” He spots a locker room in the back.

He heads towards the locker room and shoots a guard heading there just to make sure.

Sleeping Darts: 10

Once he gets to the locker room, he finds himself in the showers. A few scientists are taking showers and a few are walking around. He knows that he can’t take a chance by using his dart gun as it would attract too much attention. Instead he looks for his opportunity to get into the actual locker room. Realizing that the amount of traffic isn’t going to calm down, he’s forced to find another way into the lockers.

He spots an open vent on the far side of the hall and decides to enter hoping that it will lead him to the locker room. By the look of it someone was working on cleaning the vents. With the temperature being rather cool for the time of year the air conditioning is off. He enters the shaft and crawls through until he gets to the end. He’s able to feel a small draft from the top, but that is simply the shaft leading up to the roof. When he gets to the end of the shaft he lands right inside the locker room.

“Hey you what are you doing here…” A scientist says when he spots George.

He chokes the scientist, puts him to sleep, and then says, “I’m sure you won’t mind if I borrow your clothes.”

Picked up a locker key. This opens locker 35.

Heading to locker 35, he opens it and finds a spare scientist jacket.

Picked up a Scientist Jacket. This should make it easier for me to blend in and find the “Raven Hawk” vaccine.

Seeing the room is clear, he changes into the jacket quickly and sticks the janitor’s uniform into the locker. He walks out casually and says hi to the staff to make it look natural. When he gets out of the locker room, he heads to the second lab room and finds a list of secret projects on a piece of paper. The room is empty as well, giving him the freedom to snoop around.

Secret Projects that we will work on this year…

-Ivy

-Frogger

-Lizarda

-Web Spinner

- Hot Dog

-Tyrant

-Nemesis

-Plant 50

While there is a list, it doesn’t go into much detail into what they are. His best guess is that they are trying to test on animals and plants. The name that strikes him the most is Nemesis. It simply doesn’t sound like a vaccine that is friendly, but without any hard evidence it’s just a theory. He finds nothing else in the second room, so he heads to the third room.

A guard approaches him and looks at him suspiciously. He asks, “Hey are you new here?”

“Yes I am, why?” George answers.

“Some weird things have been taking place here. The two guards that are supposed to be guarding the door are not there. I just been told a scientist is down in the locker room, I suspect foul play. Have you seen anything?”

“No I haven’t, but I’ll keep an eye out for anything.” He answers the guard.

“Very well, carry on and remain on alert.” The guard lets George go on his way.

“I gotta be careful, red flags are going up.” He says to himself.

He enters the third lab room and sees a blue liquid labeled “Raven Hawk”. There is another scientist in the room, so he carefully takes the liquid and sticks it in his shirt pocket making sure the other scientist doesn’t see anything.

Picked up the “Raven Hawk” vaccine. Now to get this tested and see what the real composition of this vaccine is.

Seeing the clock has hit five o’clock, the other scientist tells George it’s time to go home and leaves right away.

“That was easier than I thought, now I just need to get this sample tested by my scientist friend and I’ll find out what it really is. Now to get my briefcase and get out of here.”

He takes a quick picture of the laboratory with his mini Polaroid instant camera just in case the sample comes out positive as an actual virus. He leaves the laboratory quickly and takes the stairs to the 8th floor maintenance room. The janitor is still asleep and he grabs his briefcase. After making sure he has everything, he leaves the building casually even saying bye to the doorman. He hails a cab back to the hotel room where he is staying and calls his brother.

“Hey Harry, looks like big brother did it indeed. I got the sample!” George says.

“You are one crazy son of a bitch, but that is a huge piece of evidence you just got. Now you gotta get your geek friend Dave to test it and you’re in business. Sometimes you can go too far, but…” George cuts off his brother.

“It helps me get far in my career, right? No need to say it, I should be there tomorrow. I got the perfect place to hide this sample so TSA won’t spot it and question me.”

“George, you should have worked for MI6 instead. It seems you have the skills to be a spy.” Harry compliments his brother.

“Thanks, I’ll see you tomorrow.” George hangs up the phone.

A few minutes later, he gets a phone call. Looking at the caller ID, it reads “Hybrid Corporation”. He becomes nervous as he might have been spotted, but it could just be Anthony giving him thanks for the interview.

He picks up the phone and says “Hello Terry Bond here, may I help you…”

Chapter 2

May 13, 2007

George sees that he receives a call from the “Hybrid Corporation” and he says hello.

“Hello Terry Bond, its Anthony. I just wanted to thank you for the interview and I’m happy to see that you’re not subjective like other interviewers.” Anthony says cordially.

“Subjective?” George asks.

“Yeah, other reporters think that we’re coming to Cypress Hills for malicious purposes. It could be your small town is full of small-minded people who believe that we’re coming to use them as guinea pigs. I’m glad to see that at least you see both sides of the coin.” Anthony responds.

What should George say?

1. I agree with you on that, the town’s people can be so gullible. (Passive)

2. I wouldn’t say that, but I wish to do my job properly as a non-biased journalist. (Neutral)

3. You’re full of shit! You only say that is because you got something to hide, I’m going to watch you carefully! (Aggressive)

After thinking for a second he goes with option 2.

“I wouldn’t say that, but I wish to do my job properly as a non-biased journalist.” George replies using the neutral response.

“I can see you take your job seriously. I’ll let your agency know if I want to do anymore interviews. Does that sound good?” Anthony asks.

“Sure, no problem.” He replies.

“Goodbye Mr. Bond, have a safe trip back.” Anthony says bye and hangs up.

After the phone call, he begins to pack his stuff in preparation for his flight back the next day. In his luggage, he begins to find a place inside to store the “Raven Hawk” vaccine. He hopes that testing the vaccine will give him the answers that he wants. He heads to bed and prepares for his flight for the next day.

May 15, 2007

After getting back to New York and taking the day off to rest, George heads to his scientist friend in Downtown Brooklyn. Taking his White Ford Mustang to the Boreum Hill section of Brooklyn, he enters his friend’s house.

“Hey George, what a great day we’re having. The pure blue skies with no clouds, wind is at 5 MPH, and the temperature is above average…” He is cut off by George.

“Can it Dave, will you? Besides I got an important assignment for you.” George says cutting the small talk as the two head inside.

The two head towards the basement of the brownstone house and enter Dave’s small laboratory.

Dave is an ex-forensic scientist for a lab that worked with the NYPD during murder crimes. Since retirement though, he has moved on to studying bio-chemistry while trying to find a cure for some of the most severe sicknesses out there.

“Hey Dave, I want you to test this for me.” He says.

“What is that?” Dave asks.

“The ‘Raven Hawk’ vaccine straight from Hybrid.” George answers.

“How did you get that?” Dave asks in shock.

“Let’s say I have a way of sneaking around…”

“You’re crazy George! You’re a dead man if you get caught.”

“I might be a crazy old man, but I’m not stupid. Besides no one suspects I have this. Listen I have reason to believe that this is not actually a vaccine. I believe that nothing good will come out of Hybrid visiting us.”

“You seem to think so? What proof do you have?” Dave asks.

“For now none, but out of all the areas they could have gone to build a hospital, why choose Cypress Hills?”

“Wow George, you do have a point there. Cypress Hills is considered the goody too shoes area of Brooklyn. It’s hard to get any publicity there other than bombing a house or killing a cop and even that is difficult.”

“Anyway, I want you to see what this contains so I can make a report about Hybrid. I want to see who they really are. For the life of me I can’t trust those people and the residents in Cypress Hills don’t trust them either.”

After the conversation, George hands the “Raven Hawk” vaccine to Dave. Dave puts it into his machine and boots up his machine. After about 10 minutes, a printout is printed for the two to read.

Results of test:

The results of the tests have determined that this is a substance that changes the way the body functions. It’s known as “Raven Hawk” and it was developed by the Hybrid Corporation. Raven Hawk contains many amino acids and proteins within the composition. However, the substance is too complex in nature to be determined using the preliminary testing methods. Further testing is required.

“Hmm… seems the composition is too complex for even my machine to unscramble. Either we’re dealing with the next great work of science or…” Dave says.

“The next devilish substance that will plunge mankind to the abyss.” George finishes Dave’s statement.

“Listen George, I’m going to have to keep this with me for awhile until I can get some solid results. I’m going to have to run some bio-hazard tests and other tests such as…”

“I get it poindexter! That sounds good, how long you think it will take?”

“I’m not sure about that to be honest. It could be a couple of weeks to a couple of months. I’ll do my best to get results fast.”

“Ok, keep me posted. Alright I gotta be going.” George says as he walks away and says bye to Dave.

George drives off and returns home as he ends up with more questions than answers. Then he remembers there is a meeting in Woodhull Hospital. However that isn’t until July and perhaps by then he might have answers to what the Raven Hawk virus is.

May 27, 2007

George decides to put the story away for a while and focus on his day job at the local Junior High School. He sees the 2nd floor hallway light is blown out and grabs a florescent lightblub from the utility closet.

The school is only two stories high and houses 500 kids due to the small nature of the town. The town is so small and quiet that it’s like paradise in what is otherwise a rowdy borough of Brooklyn.

Holding the lightblub in his hand, George begins to remove the old lightblub until he hears a girl call his name loudly.

“George!” The girl calls.

George drops the old lightblub and turns towards the girl ready to scold her until he realizes who it is.

“Maria! What are you doing here? It’s 2 in the afternoon, early day?” He asks when he sees it was one of his favorite students from a graduating class.

“Yeah, early day. Parent teacher conference day.” She replies while laughing.

Maria is a graduate of IS 302 and was one of George’s favorite students. He looks at her as the daughter he never had after raising two rotten sons.

“I hope that means you’re passing.” He asks.

“I am, just came to see how you’re doing.” Maria answers.

“Ah… the same old thing just a different day. Have you met Angel yet, he’s a junior in your school.”

“Nah, I barely bump into anyone outside my age to be honest. I’m sure he’s a cute boy and pretty popular I heard. He just hasn’t found anyone yet based on the fact I see him by himself going home.” She replies.

“That’s where you come in!” George jokily says.

“Yeah right, you think he’ll go out with a freshman like me?”

“Well my wife is 10 years younger than me.”

“But you’re old George.” Maria laughs.

“True, I’m on my third wife.” George and Maria laugh.

The conservation is cutoff when one of Maria’s friends from her part of town says hi. George goes back to work and replaces the lightblub. He tests the blub and is relieved when it turns on. Ready to leave for the day, he overhears the girls talking.

Maria and her friend begin to talk about how upset they are because the upper part of the local park is closed to construction. Then it hits him, he just took a jog there only a week ago.

“Hmm… construction. Maybe I should take a closer look there, could just be renovating the reservoir. Then again, Hybrid could be involved with this as well. Maybe I should pay a visit there.” He decides to head to the park after work.

Getting into his jogging outfit, he jogs towards the local park called Highland Park. When he enters the park, it’s a normal day with the kids playing in the playground along with beautiful weather. The skies might be blue, but George is seeing black as he is disturbed by the sudden construction taking place.

He casually jogs on the path that goes around Highland Park as he sees the flowers beginning to boom. When he goes up the hill, he walks towards the path towards middle Highland. As he enters the dark forest, George spots several young couples making out and spots some construction equipment ahead.

He decides to jog up a dirt path up to where he sees the equipment and accidentally bumps into a young Hispanic couple who were making out.

“Hey man, watch it!” The male says.

“Calm down baby, are you ok sir?” The young female asks cordially.

“Yeah, that’s my fault.” George replies.

“Just be a little more careful dude, alright?” The male says in a calmer tone.

“I will. Hey let me ask you something, you have any idea what those bulldozers are up to?” George asks the couple.

“Dude, I got no idea. All I can say is I’m not cool with it. They just came yesterday.” The male answers.

“Yesterday?” George asks.

“Yeah, me and my boyfriend were sitting here when we saw all these big vehicles just going up to upper Highland. I don’t even know what company they’re from.” The female says.

“Hmm… I’m a concerned citizen, so I’ll be sure to bring this up at the next town meeting.” George replies thinking.

“Good luck dude, those people never listen.” The male says angrily.

“Well, I’ll see you kids around. Be careful.” He says towards the couple and continues up.

“I would be careful dude, those people will arrest you if you’re caught trespassing.” The male tells George.

As he gets close to Upper Highland, he spots a few bulldozers picking up dirt and some guards guarding the area. He sees it is indeed the reservoir being worked on, but who was hired to renovate the area. Another possibility was that the city of New York decided that the reservoir should be placed back on commission after being closed for over 25 years.

Despite the fact that the workers look innocent enough, George still isn’t convinced that nothing is wrong. His suspicions begin to ring when he sees men in hazmat suits walking out of the abandoned buildings. They are also moving in capsules and other funny looking objects. He studies possible entrance points and sees that the main entrance to the reservoir now has a gate with a padlock.

The padlock looks easy enough to pick, so he has a point of entrance.

“Cool, I got a way to enter. Might sound risky, but I feel there is something fishy about this operation and Hybrid has something to do with it. I’ll try to get in at dawn after all there is just enough light and not too many guards around or people in general. I’ll put on my camouflage stealth suit so I can blend in with the forest. I gotta see what’s going on in there.”

He heads home and begins to gather his equipment including his dart gun, lockpick, mini-camera, stun gas, and his stealth suit. It’s 7 at night and he heads to sleep early so he can get to the park as early as possible.

May 28, 2007

Objectives: 1. Enter the construction site and investigate without alerting the guards. Also avoid deadly force.

It’s six in the morning and the sun is getting ready to rise. He gets into his mustang with his stealth suit and equipment at the ready. He parks his car on Jamaica Ave and Highland Place where the hill to Upper Highland is nearby. Keeping a low profile he waits until there are no people around the area to get out of the car. Seeing the area is clear, he begins to run up the hill as fast as he can to save time.

When he gets to Middle Highland, George stops for a minute to catch his breath and makes sure no one is around. A guard is coming in to duty and he hides behind a tree. As the guard walks by, he gets away from the tree and sneaks behind the guard. He punches the guard from behind and knocks him out.

“I still got it.” He says under his own voice.

After recovering his stamina, he begins to run up the dirt path until he reaches the gate wall surrounding the site. He spots two guards by the gate, he shoots both guards with his dart gun.

Darts: 10

Approaching the gate he is able to pick the lock with his lockpick.

Lockpicking skill improved to Level 3!

He opens the gate and sees the sun begin to rise. Seeing the reservoir up ahead he goes around to the left side to avoid many of the guards. Seeing many guards in the middle of the site, he plans to stay in the shade to blend in with the scenery. He spots a guard next to an oak tree and grabs him from behind putting him in a chokehold.

Picked up a D5K Deutsche. This is an average powered sub-machine gun.

Ammo: 30

“This might be useful in case I do get caught. However, I should put my mask on just to cover my face. No need for the kids to know I’m a spy.” He says under his own voice.

Putting his mask on and the machine gun on the back brace, he continues to slowly move towards the reservoir. Spotting a bulldozer, he hides behind the machine as he looks through a hole to see two guards having a conversation.

“Hey Nikhil, you have any idea what is going to be built here?” One of the guards asks the other with a heavy Slavic accent.

“Nah mate, this is all new to me. Only thing I heard is that Hybrid plans to reopen the reservoir again.” Nikhil answers.

“Hmm… so it is Hybrid taking over these lands, very interesting indeed.” He says to himself as a forklift carrying unknown equipment drives by him.

He sees where the forklift is heading and it seems to be moving towards the building that used to maintain the reservoir during its heyday. The two guards that were talking begin to head towards the building following the forklift. George sees this as an opportunity to cover more ground.

Seeing the opening, he heads towards the first guard tower and bumps into a guard when he reaches inside.

“Raise the alarm!” The guard begins to scream before George punches him in the face.

“I think… not…” He says as he takes out the guard.

As he climbs the stairs, he spots the guard patrolling the stairs. He shoots the guard with a sleeping dart. He hears another guard below who spots him ready to hit the alarm.

“We got an intruder!” The guard screams in a Slavic accent.

The guard runs towards the red alarm button and prepares to hit it. However, George lands a perfect hit with a sleeping dart right into the guard’s neck. The guard falls on his back lying down while George wipes the sweat off his head after nearly being caught. He picks up the clip from the guards weapon.

Darts: 8

D5K Ammo: 60

Once he sees the coast the clear, George goes up the stairs until he reaches the top of the tower. At the top he spots a sniper aiming towards the reservoir bridge. George crouches and heads towards him. The sniper senses him and walks towards him, but George is able to land a jab to the jaw of the sniper knocking him out.

The sniper nearly falls over the railing, but George grabs him and pulls him back.

“Oh no, you’re not dying today! Get back here.” He says low.

Pulling out his mini-camera, he spies on what seems to be an interview between Anthony and the news reporter.

“Hmm… What’s Anthony doing here?” He says in his head.

“Taking over the reservoir and rebuilding it is tough job indeed.” Anthony says.

“And it’s an intense and time-consuming job at that.” The female reporter follows.

“That’s why we’ve invested in machines like those forklifts and the terraforming machines you see here. We want the water to be as fresh as it can be for the people. So the kids can play in the summer and the old folks can take their clean baths at night. We promise the chemicals we’re bringing in are to clean the water and make it serviceable for the public to use.” Anthony replies.

“Will you charge the people for the water?” The reporter asks.

“Well, we would have to, but I promise that the cost of water for the residents of Cypress Hills will be the cheapest in all of Brooklyn if not all of New York.” He answers.

“How about the hospital?” She asks another question.

“My dear, as much as I would like to answer that question I’m afraid I’ve run out of time. Perhaps the next interview?” He answers.

“Ok no problem, thank you Mr. Clark for that informative interview.” She says cordially.

“The pleasure is all mines.” He replies and the female reporter along with the camera man leave the scene.

“Snipers, back into position!” He pages the snipers back into guard mode when the reporters begin to leave.

George wonders why the high amount of snipers is needed to guard what seems to be an innocent project.

“Unless there is a threat of a terrorist attack, which I highly doubt something tells me I need to go and check deeper.” He says in his head. Spotting another couple of guards, he shoots them with darts to put them to sleep.

Darts: 6

Objectives Updated!

Objective Added: 2. Enter the main building and investigate. Do not use deadly force on guards.

When George is able to spot the main building from the top, he takes the zipline down to ground level. A couple of guards have their heads turned as they are unaware of George going down the zipline. When he gets back to ground level he’s able to see red lasers despite the fact they are hard to see during the day. With the sun rising, it begins to get into his eyes. However, he works around that and continues on his way.

He gets by the first set of lasers and approaches a door that is locked. Trying to pick the lock, he looks behind him and sees a sniper laser heading his way. He rolls to the right as the laser goes by him and he’s able to avoid being spotted by the sniper.

“Crap there must be something big they don’t want anybody to find out about.” He says catching his breath.

As soon as the laser is safely away from his vision, he goes back to picking the door. He’s able to pick the door easily and enters. To his disappointment however, there’s nothing inside besides an old obsolete map of the reservoir from back in the 80’s. What he does see though is a back door leading around where the snipers are watching.

Heading though the back way, he has spotted a back way around the snipers. When he leaves the door though, he spots a strange vine. Picking it up and feeling it, the vine is slimy in nature and has a strange texture to it. He doesn’t think too much about it figuring it was a vine that is just wet, so he puts it down.

He continues to walk forward and then runs through until he gets to the next tower. When he gets to the next tower, he spots a few guards patrolling the area. Hiding behind a box, he studies the patterns and decides to pick them off one by one.

One of the guards goes parallel to him and he sees the other two guards are not around. He sneaks behind the guard and chokes him. Heading back to hiding, he hears the two guards scream when they see their comrade down on the floor. They rush towards their comrade and George shoots both of them with his dart gun.

Darts: 4

While he picks off the three guards, he notices his ammo for the dart gun is running low.

“I gotta start being smart on how I use these darts.” He says in his head.

As he heads away from the tower, he can spot the building ahead. However, he has to cross the bridge and there is only one way through. There are a large amount of troops around though that would catch him fast.

“Shit, what do I do here? I can’t just cross, they would make mince meat out of me. Hmm… that ledge. It might be my best shot, but I have to tread carefully.” He says as he spots a way around to the other side.

Seeing a forklift, he climbs up to the top and grabs the ledge. The ledge is only big enough to fit half of his hand, so there is not much room for error. He tightens his grip as best as he can and begins to shimmy along the ledge knowing one mistake will send him swimming straight to jail.

Press “A” repeatedly to shimmy…

Now press “B” repeatedly to shimmy…

He gets to the middle easily, but his hands begin to give way and begin to weaken. However, he knows he must continue to move.

Press “A” repeatedly to shimmy… Nice

Press “B” repeatedly to shimmy… Too Slow!

George loses his grip on his left hand and his right hand nearly gives away. However, he uses his foot to gain his grip. He’s able to regain his grip on the ledge and is able continue on his way. Despite getting back his composure, his hands are becoming numb and the other side is a long jump away. Taking a long deep breath, he prepares to jump to the other side…

Press “A” and “B” together to jump.

Taking a leap of faith, he makes it to the other side. However, he doesn’t have much time to relax as he spots a laser close to his location. There is a rather steep hill that leads to the entrance of the building. Not taking any chances of being shot at, he rolls down the hill no matter how painful it might be.

He rolls down the hill and falls to the bottom of the hole. Despite suffering a few bruises, he is able to get up just fine and sees the door to get in.

“This old man still has it. I knew the exercise would pay off eventually.” He says catching his breath.

He sees a couple of men in hazmat suits bringing in equipment into the building. While a guard is standing by the door, the two men enter the building.

Dart: 3

“What in the hell is in those capsules?” He asks himself.

The door closes automatically and he picks the guard off with the dart gun. He sees that the door has a handprint next to it indicating that it needs fingerprints to open the door. While his hand fits into the reader, he doesn’t want to risk leaving his fingerprints or worse setting off an alarm due to a unauthorized handprint being used.

Instead he makes sure no one is around and when the coast is clear he grabs the guard. He takes the guard’s hand and places it onto the reader. The reader accepts the handprint and the door opens.

Objective 1 completed! Objectives updated…

Objective added: 3. Find any incriminating evidence against Hybrid.

Entering the building he finds himself in a hallway that is in need of repairs. He sees three doors in front of him. One is locked to his left needing a keycard, the door to the right is locked, and the one ahead of him is open.

George has some experience with overriding keycard readers and attempts to hotwire the keycard reader. The reader proves to be harder to override than he thought.

Requires Level 7 Lockpicking Skill.

“Damn I can’t be here all day, gotta keep it moving. Maybe I’ll find a keycard along the way.” George says as he heads to the door to the next to him.

He attempts to pick the door next to him and is successful in doing so. As he enters the room, he enters the maintenance room.

Lockpicking skill improved to Level 4!

A man in a hazmat suit walks down the stairs. Another man is looking at the computers, possibly looking to see how to repair them. He chokes the guard while covering his mouth to avoid any noise. After choking the guard, he sees a pickup.

Picked up +5 Darts. Darts: 8

He goes down the stairs as soon as the Hazmat guard enters through the door. Following the guard carefully, he wonders where the man is heading to. At first, he is tempted to shoot the guy with a dart. However, he sees a keypad and realizes he needs the guard to open the door for him.

Objectives Updated!

Objective Added: 4. Follow Hazmat Guard without being spotted.

After the guard inserts the code the door opens. George runs through as quickly as he can before the door closes. As soon as he enters, he spots a box to hide behind. Hearing a noise, the guard looks around and finds nothing suspicious. The guard keeps moving towards the electrical room and uses the keypad to open the door. Once the door is open, George rushes in and punches the guard in the back of the head.

“Sleep tight, cunt!” George says bluntly.

Objective 4 Completed!

Once the coast is clear, he spots a breaker that is off for an elevator. He turns on the breaker by flipping the switch. After doing that, he grabs his mini-camera and begins to take pictures. He sees the boxes. All of them are closed though. They are labeled, “Lab Equipment”. Perhaps they’re planning to build a laboratory here. He sees a set of plans on top of a box that he grabs and keeps moving.

He heads back to the hallway and heads through the other open door that is ahead of him. When he enters, he finds himself in the pump room. There are numerous guards around and alarm panels not too far from the guards.

“All those guards, damn it’s gonna be tricky to not get caught. There’s gotta be a smarter way…” He says under his voice as he hides behind a huge water pipe.

When he looks to his left he sees several boxes stacked up and a grate close to the ceiling that he can use to sneak by to the elevator. Taking a deep breath, George begins to climb up the boxes carefully without attracting too much attention. When he gets to the top box he watches the guards carefully before he climbs up to the grate. Spotting the guards talking to each other, he pulls himself up to the grate.

George makes it up to the top of the grate and begins to crawl slowly to avoid making too much noise. Crawling slowly he heads towards the middle of the room and watches the movement of the guards. He knows one false move and he’ll be spotted rather quickly. When he gets to the middle, he hits a part of the grate that is weak. The metal becomes loose and he nearly falls through, but the grate doesn’t fall to the relief of George.

He begins to break a sweat and decides what he should do. He decides to take a risk and get on the side of the grate and shimmy his way around the broken part of the grate. When he gets around the broken grate, he gets back onto the grate.

One of the guards hears a funny noise and alerts the others.

“Hey you guys hear that?” The guard says to the others.

All of the guards look around but are unable to spot anything or anybody. George remains still until the suspicion goes down. When the guards relax, he begins to make his move once again. As he reaches the end of the path, he sees the elevator below him, but the fall is rather far. However, he spots a shaft that is open due to maintenance being done on the elevator.

Entering the shaft he finds himself on top of the elevator and opens the panel above him. A guard is inside the elevator and George comes down to surprise him.

“Hey, who are you? What are you doing here…” The guard says before he is knocked out by George.

“Nothing, just a curious journalist, that’s all.” He replies.

Hitting the button to the top floor, the elevator heads up, and the door opens when it reaches the top floor. After the door opens, a couple of hazmat guards spot him close to the elevator and try to approach him. However, he quickly pulls out his dart gun and shoots the guards before they can react.

Darts: 8

After taking the two guards out he heads into a room on the top floor of the building. When he enters the room, capsules can be seen. The capsules contain plants, sharks, and lizards.

“Why do they have frozen sharks here? Why are they trying to accomplish here?” He says before he spots a document.

Instructions for testing life forms.

First make sure that the life form remains dead before applying the “Raven Hawk” substance. After about an hour, the body temperature should increase and the life form should begin to “resurrect”. Once the life form begins to show some form of life, take the life form to the appropriate area.

For Plants – To the cultivation room.

For Lizards – To the cages on the lower levels.

For Sharks – Leave them in the water in the reservoirs.

Hopefully the Raven Hawk will lead us to the next medical breakthrough!

The document ends at that point. He decides to take pictures of what he sees and the document with him.

“I think I need to revisit that door and try to see if I can hotwire the card reader. That basement is bound to be full of goodies!” He says as he decides to head back to the main hallway.

As soon as he gets back onto the elevator, he hears the horn indicating that it’s breakfast time. All of the guards head out of the building giving George a huge opening to infiltrate the deep parts of the building.

As he approaches the main hallway, an alarm goes off. Perhaps a guard spotted the downed bodies and rung the alarm as a precaution. However, George can’t take any chances and has to make sure he isn’t unmasked.

“Crap the alarm! I better get the hell out of here before I become toast.” He says heading out of the building.

Objectives 2 and 3 – Failed

Objectives finetuned!

New Objective – Escape from the facility, use whatever means necessary.

A guard approaches him ready to shoot him, but he shoots him with his D5K that he picked up. More guards approach him and he kills them all.

Picked up 45 Bullets.

D5K Ammo: 55

The alarm horns go off and a general alarm goes out.

“Attention! An intruder has been spotted, deadly force is allowed. However, if we can capture him alive it would be best.” The loudspeaker announces.

He keeps going as he runs up the hill. More guards approach him and begin to shoot at him. He runs as fast as he can as the bullets hit the metal and the concrete guard towers.

“Hit the intruder!” A guard yells.

He is able to see the gate and begins to climb as fast as he can. The guards continue to give chase as they see he has jumped the gate. They follow and hunt for him in the forest. The three guards are unable to find him in the forest. When they get deeper into the forest, George ambushes them and kills them all with his sub-machine gun.

It’s eight o’clock at the park is still empty, so nobody will be the wiser that there was an intruder. He heads towards Lower Highland and runs toward his Mustang. George drops the sub-machine gun on the floor to dump evidence he was there. Once he gets into his car, he guns it out of the area before the guards continue to give chase.

Objective 5 Complete!

Mission Complete!

Once he gets to Jamaica Ave. and Jerome St. he begins to calm down and drive more casually. He takes off his mask to avoid any suspicion and heads home.

Chapter 3

He begins to take off his mask and within five to ten minutes he is back home. When he gets home, he takes off his stealth suit and relaxes. After an hour passes by, he calls his brother to see how he’s doing. When his brother picks up, he decides whether he should tell him what he found in the construction site.

What should George tell Harry?

1. Tell him the truth.

2. Just say hi.

You have chosen option #1.

George decides that he can trust his brother and decides to talk to him about what he found.

“Hey Harry, how are you?” George greets his brother.

“Doing well brother, what are you up to now?” Harry answers impatiently as he knows George is up to no good.

“Why the attitude?” George asks.

“Come on George, why else you would call me for? It’s not like you call me to just say hi anymore.” Harry responds.

“Hehe, well you got me there. Anyway, I managed to sneak into the construction zone in Highland Park. I just wanted to see what the hype as was all about.” George says.

“You sure about that big bro?” Harry asks.

“Well, I came to find out that this site is being run by no other than Hybrid itself. Also, the Raven Hawk Vaccine is being tested on animals, but not mice. They’re experimenting with plants, lizards, and sharks. I’m starting to believe that they are building something more sinister.” George answers.

“You really think so?” Harry asks.

“I know so! Why else did they get so nervous when I was trying to break into the basement?”

“Probably because… you were caught trespassing… duh!”

“Seesh Harry, so much for an intelligent answer.”

“George it’s obvious that you didn’t belong there. So what, they could be trying every animal to see if the damn thing really works.”

“I found a document that has them in cultivation rooms and that tells me they’re trying to do a little more than just finding a cure.”

“What do you plan to do next?” Harry asks.

“I know that Anthony has an appointment with the director of Woodhull Hospital on July 7th and I’ll make sure I’m there to hear what they plan to do.”

“How do you plan to get in through security?”

“Harry you must be forgetting who I am. I have my ways after all.”

“You think you’ll find anything out?” Harry asks.

“Probably not, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.” George answers.

“Ok hot shot, you seem to know what you’re doing. Anyway, I gotta go run some errands. Talk to you later.”

“Alright little bro, be well.” George replies and then hangs up.

June 18th, 2007

The next day he prepares for work. It’s the time of year he should be excited as school is almost done for the year, but he is bothered by his findings at the construction site.

After he performs his duties in the morning shift, he heads to the break room and has his lunch. When he sits to eat his lunch, he sees something on the television. Upon watching the news, he sees that the Clark Family mansion in Upstate New York exploded last month.

A strange thought enters his mind. The news claims the explosion took place on May 15th and yet there was no news coverage when it took place or even days after. He begins to wonder why. Then he sees a Lieutenant whose name is Barry who’s visiting the school for safety day at the school. He begins to question Barry.

Barry is a Lieutenant in the 75th precinct who has a great relationship with Chief Irons. He sports dark sunglasses and he sports a rather arrogant attitude most of the time.

“Hey… Barry, you heard the news?”

“Yeah I did, I feel sorry for the Special Forces who were sent there.”

“Special Forces?”

“Yeah, you see there was a case of strange murders around the area where the Clark Family Mansion is located. They were sent there to investigate what or who was responsible for the murders. Sounds like they didn’t make it though, they’ve gone missing for over a month now.” Barry says in a careless tone.

“I just don’t understand why there was no news coverage about that? It sounds like it should have been on the news.” George asks.

“Well the mansion was in a remote area and investigators didn’t find out until they went to the area and interviewed people around the area.”

“Oh, just sounds funky that nobody realized these people were missing.”

“For all I know they might as good as dead. As bad as I feel, it’s not my division and I gotta do my job to the best of my ability. Well, gotta go to the 8th grade room for career, catch you later.” Barry replies.

At first George is a bit suspicious about Barry, but realizes that Barry is only a Lieutenant and has nothing to do with the Special Forces of the NYPD. The one thing that bothers him is Barry’s arrogant attitude and his lack of care. It could be that Barry wasn’t there so he can’t make a judgment, but he feels that Barry might be secretly happy that the Special Forces are missing for whatever reason.

With the Clark Family Mansion gone, it makes George think a bit harder. As he continues to hear reports, he finds out that there was a secret laboratory somewhere in the mansion. However, the damage is too great to tell what might have been inside and what was being worked on. With lack of any solid evidence, investigators can’t really tell what was happening in the mansion.

George has no idea what to make of the situation. He doesn’t know if he should be happy that the Clark Family Mansion is gone or be concerned. What should have been an easy puzzle to solve has just become a bit trickier. Now he knows that breaking into the meeting in Woodhull Hospital will prove to be paramount in his hopes to crack this case.

After his lunch break, he tries to forget about Hybrid and just perform his job until the school year ends in another week.

After school is dismissed, he heads to Dave’s house in hopes that he has gotten some results after testing the sample of the Raven Hawk Vaccine. He gets into his White Mustang and drives towards his friend’s house.

After an hour drive in rush hour traffic, he finally gets to Dave’s house and sees a bunch of police cruisers in the area. He doesn’t think much as he parks around the corner, perhaps it’s just Dave’s neighbor who got sick. So he gets out of the car and smells the fresh air trying to enjoy the beautiful weather.

As he’s walking down the block and approaching Dave’s house, he’s stopped by an officer. The officer informs him that he cannot proceed. George asks him why and that he is heading to his friend’s house. The officer informs him that Dave was found murdered in his house with a bullet casing in the house. According to the body, he was shot in the head.

George tries to ask who could have done it, but he is told that they found nobody and they’re not even ready to investigate yet.

“Hey, can I go in? I left something inside.” George asks the officer.

“No I can’t let you in there, this is an active investigation zone and everything inside will be taken in for investigation. That is unless you can tell me what you needed to get.” The officer replies.

George decides whether he should tell the officer about the Raven Hawk Vaccine.

What should George do?

1. Lie to the officer. (Neutral)

2. Keep quiet (Passive)

3. Break through police (Aggressive)

You have chosen option #1.

As anxious as he wants the sample, it’s no use without Dave’s analysis. Plus, he can’t afford to tell the police about the vaccine as he could get into legal trouble.

“Actually it was my tennis shoes, but it’s fine I don’t need it. I’ll be going now…” He replies walking away from the scene.

“Hey listen do you want us to call you if we find out anything?” The officer asks.

“Fine, here is my phone number.” He gives the officer his phone number in case they find the killer or anything.

Once he’s done, he walks back to his car. Getting into his Mustang, he feels bad for Dave. However, that sadness turns to concern now that he knows he can’t get the sample now and test it. He begins to wonder who would kill Dave. Running down the possibilities ranging from a vendetta with another scientist to possibly Hybrid finding out he had gotten a sample of the Raven Hawk virus, he’s unsure what to think.

Driving back home, he begins to rule out the former scenario and begins to see the Hybrid connection as a more likely scenario. As bad as he feels for his friend, he worries more about the possibility that Hybrid is catching on to his probing. George is concerned with one question, why was Dave killed? Also if Dave was killed by Hybrid, how did they find out that Dave had the vaccine?

When he gets home, he begins to narrow down Dave’s friends and people he knew. While he had a lot of people, lots of them were still unfamiliar with Hybrid. So he was able to cross out plenty of names, leaving only a few on the table. He’s left with three, Barry, Danny Witwer, and a man named Randy. Randy was an ex-partner of Harry during their days as scientists.

As much bad will Randy wished upon Harry, Randy moved to England and simply cut ties with Harry peacefully. Danny Witwer is the president of Woodhull Hospital and was a good friend of Dave’s. Yes, they had disagreements but nothing serious as far as George is concerned.

That leaves only Barry who is part of the NYPD. Barry doesn’t seem to know too much about Hybrid and didn’t seem to be too concerned about what happen in the mansion. Barry’s attitude tells George that he doesn’t seem to have too much to gain with Hybrid to keep secrets for them.

With the lack of any true suspects, George is left to wonder what the cops will find. He isn’t too hopeful that they will find anything and that this will be a case that goes cold quickly. It doesn’t help that he can’t say anything about the Raven Hawk Vaccine as it might get him into more trouble rather than helping him. He decides to try to put Dave away and simply wait for July 7th to come.

The last person he suspects is Chief Irons as he did not say anything about the Special Forces being missing for over a month. Why would he not say anything? However, it could be that he was unable to communicate with the Special Forces and had a separate group look for them.

The reality is that George can’t simply go around pointing fingers at people without evidence. That is one thing that he is seriously lacking. Lying in bed, he tries to avoid breaking his head about everything and falls asleep.

July 7th, 2007

After a few weeks pass by, George gets up and prepares to eavesdrop into the meeting between Anthony and the director of the hospital. He takes a bug that was built by his brother and he’ll use it to capture audio.

The night before, he and Harry planned how he would break into the meeting. After going over the plan with his brother, he packs his items into his briefcase including his dart gun just in case. Heading to his mustang, he drives off and heads to Woodhull Hospital.

Once he gets to the hospital, he decides to park in the garage to stay as hidden as possible. Getting out of the car, he walks to the hospital. Entering through the back, he goes through the hallway until he gets to the main lobby. He sees somebody asking the security guard a question.

“Excuse me where is the meeting taking place?” The man asks the guard.

“The meeting is in the basement by where the admitting room is located.” The guard answers.

It seems to have the feeling of a normal busy day. When George approaches the guard, he simply shows him his ID and the guard lets him through. After getting though security, he sees some elevators. He calls one down and heads inside when the doors open. When he enters he looks for the button to go down. Pressing the B1 button, he heads down one flight to the basement.

He sees the admitting room and walks by. Seeing the meeting room, he waits for his chance to enter when no one is there. However, he won’t have to sneak into the room after all. He overhears a couple of guys saying the meeting in canceled because Anthony had an emergency to attend to. George trying to act normal decides to ask what is going on.

“Hey guys, did you say the meeting was canceled?” He asks.

“Yeah, Anthony had an emergency to attend to. He sounded serious as well, couldn’t tell you what it could be. I guess we’re going home then.” The man in the gray suit answers while his friend simply nods in agreement.

George snaps his fingers and begins to make his way home. All of a sudden he hears an alarm and an announcement.

Attention: Major emergency in effect! There are reports of a man eating people in the hospital. There is a large horde of man-eaters by the front entrance. All security units report! Everybody run to your nearest emergency exit now, this is not a drill. I repeat… this is not a drill!

All of a sudden what was a spying mission has turned into one that he simply needs to survive. He hears somebody in the admitting room screaming.

“Oh my God! Don’t eat me… argghh!” The person screams as it’s being eaten by another human.

George and the other two men see the person being eaten and decide to make a run towards the elevator. When they get to the elevator though, there are a couple of man eating people in the elevator that pop out right away. While George and the man in the gray suit get away, his friend is the next victim who gets eaten.

The two of them run from the area as fast as they can. They keep on running until they spot an armory.

“Alright, guns. We’ll gonna need them if we expect to survive.” He says but gets no response by the man in the gray suit.

He turns around and sees that the man is being eaten by another man-eater. Grabbing a gun, he prepares to defend himself.

Picked up a Pistol. It’s your basic pistol. It’s a Walther PPK and it shoots 7.65 mm rounds. It’s not much but it’s better than nothing! Pistol Ammo: 15

He looks at the human and tries to reason with it.

“Hey we don’t have to end this in bloodshed! We could just end this nice and civilized.”

The man doesn’t respond. In fact, it looks like it lost its ability to talk at all. Without talking it makes a monstrous sound and begins to move toward George as it’s ready to tear him apart.

“Don’t get any closer, I’m warning you now!” He screams in an attempt to scare the man away.

However, the man keeps walking up to him until he gets too close forcing George to shoot him. George shoots a couple of shots into the man’s head killing it.

Pistol Ammo: 13

“Damn I didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice.” He says soberly.

Heading to the body, he studies it and upon further review he sees something strange. The skin on the human is rather pale and crusty to the touch. Also it has purple and blue veins which are abnormally dark colors for veins. He also noticed that the man did not even say a word. All he did was groan like he was a zombie.

Then it hits him, the person he killed wasn’t a person. It turns out that this person is a zombie. He wants to know how did he turn into a zombie, but is unable to gather any theories.

He continues looking in the armory and finds something else.

Picked up a Pistol Clip. Pistol Ammo: 28. Each clip gives 15 bullets.

Picked up a Green Herb. Use to heal partial health.

Continuing down the hall, he walks back to the elevator to see if he can head back up to the main floor. He sees a couple of zombies and shoots them both from a safe distance killing them.

Pistol Ammo: 21

When George gets to the elevator, he tries to hit the button to get back upstairs. However, the elevator is out of order. It looks like the elevator power was cutoff during the emergency sequence.

“Damn, it looks like I’ll need to find another way.” He says as he bangs the elevator.

Turning back, he spots a door leading to a stairway. However the door is locked as he kicks it down with no success.

The door requires a special key to unlock.

When he turns around a zombie is behind him. He has no time to react as the zombie grabs him and begins to bite him. George pushes the zombie back and begins to shoot the zombie. He kills the zombie with four pistol shots.

Pistol Ammo: 17

Despite taking a bite from the zombie, George doesn’t take too much damage. He notices a lot of the zombies are wearing doctor uniforms. He walks to the meeting room where the meeting was supposed to take place and spots a pickup on the table.

Picked up a Pistol Clip. Pistol Ammo: 32

He also sees a document on the table as well.

Raven Hawk Gas Test. July 7th, 2007

“Today is the day where we test the gas edition of the Raven Hawk Substance. We want to see what happens when people are exposed to this substance airborne. Will it have the same effects as if the person was injected with the liquid form? Some people believe it will, others say otherwise.

The test will commence at around two in the afternoon. We are doing it just before the meeting at three so it won’t interfere with it. This is actually one of the topics in today’s meeting, so it will work out perfectly.

If this works out the way I think it will then I will hire you to produce the gas edition of Raven Hawk. It will prove far cheaper to produce than liquid and will cover more area. We shall rule the bio-weapon market soon enough!

Remember to say this to nobody! Thanks for letting us know about the vial of Raven Hawk that ended up in that scientist’s hands. No worries, Mr. B took care of him. So you won’t have to worry about that cunt messing up our plan.

Once we tie up all the loose ends, everything will come out just fine…” Signed – Anthony Clark

“That bastard, Witwer!” George says angrily.

George now believes that Witwer betrayed Dave as they used to be good friends back in the day. Dave trusted Witwer with checking the Raven Hawk Substance. George begins to feel responsible because he never warned Dave that Witwer might have been working with Hybrid.

“It makes sense, Witwer was working with Hybrid. When he found out that Dave had the substance, he had him killed to protect his ass. That cunt!” He says angrily while slamming the table.

While he knows now that Hybrid was responsible for Dave’s death, its little consolation to him. At least his suspicions are proven true that Raven Hawk is nothing but a virus to create bio-weapons. The only question remains, why would they want to create such creatures of destruction?

As he leaves the room, he sees more zombies ahead of him. He kills one and outruns the other two to conserve ammo. Progressing through the hall, he sees the door to the power room that is actually unlocked.

Pistol Ammo: 28

“Perhaps I can power up the elevator and get out of here.” He says in his head.

When he enters the room though, he sees that it’s pitch black and he is unable to see anything.

Flashlight is required to enter.

Turning back, he bumps into a zombie that grabs him and begins to bite him. After taking a decent amount of damage he is able to push the zombie away from him. He shoots the zombie in the head and kills it in two shots.

Pistol Ammo: 26

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

After killing the zombie, he walks back towards the admitting room after seeing more zombies come out around the corner.

“Where are these zombies coming from?” He asks.

As George is running, he begins to think that everybody that was exposed to the Raven Hawk gas have turned to zombies. He realizes that he might have to fight the whole hospital unless he finds any survivors.

George enters the admitting room and finds several people on the floor. Two of them are all bitten up bleeding pools of blood while the other three are lying on the floor with the same decayed skin as the zombies he’s killed. When he moves close to the bodies, one of them comes alive as he gets next to it. The zombie tries to grab his leg and begins to bite his leg.

George tries to pull his right leg out, but the zombie has a tight grip on his leg. So he uses his left leg to step on the zombie’s head. When he steps on the head, his foot goes through the head of the zombie. The brain pops out of the zombie and eventually the zombie dies.

As he continues towards the back of the room, he spots something.

Picked up a Flashlight. Used to light up the electrical room.

After grabbing the flashlight, he begins to head back to the electrical room. There are more zombies coming from the hallway where the meeting room is located. However, he doesn’t have much ammo to spare. So he runs away from the zombies as he runs to the electrical room.

When George gets to the electrical room, he turns on his flashlight and looks for the main breaker for the elevator. Once he sees the circuit breaker box, he notices a dead zombie holding on to one of the breakers. However, he notices that the main wire feeding the elevator is not on the breaker.

“Looks like the elevator is off the table now.” He says as he has to find the key to the stairway door.

He also sees a pick up on the floor by the zombie.

Picked up a Pistol Clip. Pistol Ammo: 41

When he gets the ammo, he exits the room and zombies continue to move around in the hallway.

“There’s gotta be a security room around here.” George says when he looks for a security room for the key.

While he doesn’t remember the hospital too well, George heads to the back figuring there is gotta be a security room around. As he heads to the back, he sees another zombie in an officer’s uniform. At first, he’s not fond in shooting it, but is left with no choice. Once George shoots a few shots the zombie falls and dies.

He sees an officer that he knows on the floor and tries to talk to him.

“Marlon! Are you ok? Let me know if you’re ok.” He asks the officer.

Marlon doesn’t respond, but gets up rather fast to the surprise of George.

“Looks like you’re ok after all.” George says happily.

However, Marlon’s face turns into a light purplish color. After the transformation, Marlon begins to go after George. Marlon grabs George and begins to bite him. George pushes him back and shoots at Marlon.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

Pistol Ammo: 29

After killing Marlon, he feels a bit of emotional pain as he tears up. Him and Marlon were rather good friends back in the day during their High School days.

Looking at his body, he can’t help but to feel terrible. After feeling sorry for himself, he heads into the security room. Upon entering the room he sees a few zombies in blue officer uniforms. He begins to shoot the zombies and the saving grace proves to the huge table that the zombies are unable to go around.

Despite having more endurance and more dangerous, they sacrifice their intelligence. He’s able to shoot all three zombies with his pistol.

Pistol Ammo: 17

After killing the zombies he sees a couple of ammo pickups.

Picked up 2 Pistol Clips. Pistol Ammo: 47

He sees a shiny item on the back wall, it’s a key…

Picked up a Hospital Key.

George CHECKS the Key. Turning the key around, he sees that it’s labeled “Stairway”.

After grabbing the key, he decides to heal himself.

George uses the Green Herb.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

Once he uses the herb, George makes his way to the locked stairway door. Before he gets there though, there are a couple of zombies blocking his way. Pulling out his pistol, he begins to shoot at both zombies. While he’s able to kill one of them, the other begins one begins to go after him.

Press “A” and “B” to sidestep… Well Done!

He’s able to dodge in time and he gets behind the zombie. He sees a fire extinguisher on the floor and grabs it. Using the extinguisher, he slams the head of the zombie until it pops out and bleeds. For George, he actually feels a bit of satisfaction killing the zombie.

Pistol Ammo: 41

Quickly he realizes though that he needs to control himself and remembers that he can’t get too cocky. He approaches the door and uses the key to unlock the door. George approaches the stairway and sees a couple of zombies on the stairs. The one on the stairs dives towards his legs and tries to grabs his legs. George is able to shoot the zombie quickly before the zombie could bite his legs.

Once he kills that zombie the other is up the stairs, before he goes up though he sees a couple of herbs on the floor.

Picked up a Green and Blue herb. A Blue Herb can be used to heal a person in the poison condition.

When he picks up the herbs, he heads upstairs and shoots at the zombie that is blocking the door to the first floor. After a few shots, he kills the zombie.

Pistol Ammo: 36

He heads through the door and finds himself by the elevators that he had taken. Upon reaching the first floor, he sees nobody in the lobby.

“Hey anyone there! I’m not a zombie, come out so I can get you out of here.” He yells looking for survivors.

“Aghhhh!” An African American man in a plaid shirt yells as he’s running from the zombies in the hall.

“Hey wait!” He yells but the man keeps running.

He sees the two zombies that are chasing the man and shoots them rather fast.

Pistol Ammo: 28

He looks behind him and runs after the man trying to make sure he’s ok. As he runs down the hall he tries to look for the man and he hear another scream coming from the dentist office. When he gets inside though, he’s too late.

“No! No! Get away from me you zombie freak… Arghhh!” The man says before he gets torn up by the zombies.

George looks in disgust as he sees the zombies feeding off the man. Before he takes aim at the zombie though, a man behind him shoots both of the undead with a magnum.

“Hey who are you?” The officer asks.

“I was supposed to go to a meeting and this started. I simply found this gun to defend myself. Trust me I wasn’t looking for trouble.” George answers.

“It’s fine. I’m just glad that you can defend yourself. Now look, the exit is only down the hall. I would look for other survivors, but… I doubt that there are any.” The officer replies.

“You really think so? I would think there has to be a few survivors.” George says.

“Wishful thinking, I knew that Raven Hawk vaccine was nothing but bad news! Of course no one listens to me though, so now we gotta protect out asses. You wanna get out, come with me.”

George begins to think whether he should stay in case there are anymore survivors in the area.

What should George do?

1. Escape with the officer.

2. Stay and find survivors.

You have chosen option #1.

He decides to go with the officer despite feeling guilty, knowing there could be more survivors. The two head towards the exit with more zombies along the way that the officer kills easily. When they get to the front entrance of the hospital, they prepare to open the side door. However when the officer opens the door, zombies begin to pop into the building and they overwhelm the officer 10 to 1 eating him alive.

Afterwards more zombies enter the lobby. Before he runs for his life, he picks up the officers magnum.

Picked up a Magnum. It’s a Colt Python capable of shooting .357 Magnum Rounds.

Magnum Rounds: 6

After grabbing the magnum, he runs as fast as he can away from the zombies. Eventually he gets to an area where a shaft is close by, he finds a red button.

Do you want to press the button? Yes or No.

You have chosen yes.

George presses the button and the shaft comes down. The horde of zombies comes towards the shaft and is unable to break through to George’s relief. After closing the shaft, he realizes that he will be unable to exit through the front entrance. However, he is unaware of any other escape route. He decides that he needs to find a map of the hospital.

Then he sees what looks like a young girl in a white hospital robe and runs towards her. She runs under a small opening that was created after part of the hospital fell during the chaos. However, something catches his attention…

“Maria? I think that was Maria. Maria! It’s me George!” He tries to call her, but gets no response.

Either she didn’t hear him or she’s too scared to turn back. He finds himself trapped in a hospital along with a girl who could be Maria. It doesn’t look good for George who doesn’t have an escape route anymore since the zombies have taken over the lobby of the first floor.

“If I’m to survive this, I better gather some more ammo and health. It looks like this is gonna be a long night indeed. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it’s a good thing the zombies took over the lobby entrance or I would never have found the girl. I’m hoping it’s Maria, I don’t need her to die in a place or crappy situation like this.” He says in his head.

It’s clear that the Raven Hawk is not a vaccine as Hybrid was trying to pass it off as being. However to George that doesn’t matter, he needs to survive first before he can begin to think about exposing Hybrid and Witwer.

Chapter 4

Seeing himself in the hallway, George sees that the main hallways on the first floor for the most part are blocked off. Seeing the map, he sees potential escape routes. One of them is the roof while the other is a parking lot. As he looks for a way to continue on his way, he finds a stairway next to the elevator that leads up to the other floors.

When he goes into the stairway, he sees a few zombies that try to ambush him from the side. He is unable to get off a shot before he is grabbed by one of the zombies. The zombie that grabs him is able to get in a bite, but George pushes it away fast to avoid taking too much damage. He sees a broomstick next to him and strikes the zombie in the eye causing it to lose its vision.

The zombie is unable to see and falls over the railing. Once it falls to the floor the broomstick goes through its eye and the force pops its brain out. The other zombie tries to grab him.

Press “A” and “B” to sidestep… Well Done!

He sidesteps from the zombie and shoots it from behind killing it.

Pistol Ammo: 24

After killing the zombies, he decides that he wants to head up to the third floor where Danny Witwer’s office is located.

“Witwer for your sake you better not be up there! You’ll pay for killing Dave and I’ll expose you for starting this outbreak.” He says angrily in his head.

Going up the stairs carefully, he looks for any zombies and sees the coast is clear. He sees the door to the second floor, but the door is locked. The door is rather heavy and the lock has the look of a Victorian style door. Deciding that he will not find the key, he moves on up towards the third floor.

As he goes up the stairs to the third floor, he hears a strange ribbit sound close to his location.

“Is there a frog in this place?” He asks himself.

Walking slowly and arming himself with the magnum, he continues on up the stairs. When he approaches the landing for the third floor, a huge frog approaches him from behind. Hearing the loud ribbit sound, he turns around and is shocked by the sheer size of the frog. The creature spits at him, the spit doesn’t do anything to him. In fact, he just feels a bit wet.

The frog is code named “Frogger” and it’s a frog that has been exposed to a large amount of the Raven Hawk virus and has grown 15x its normal size. Its mouth is huge enough to eat a human in whole.

The frogger tries to stick out its long tongue and grab George.

Press “A” and “B” to dodge… Too Slow!

Despite George diving out of the way, the mouth is far too long to get away from. Frogger grabs him with its tongue and tries swallowing him entirely. However, George still has the magnum in his hand and takes a shot in the frog’s mouth. The bullet lands in the frog’s mouth perfectly and the frog screams in pain.

The impact is enough to loosen the frog’s grip and he falls to the floor. The frog is in pain and he shoots another bullet into the creature killing it.

Magnum Rounds: 4

Once the frog is dead, George begins to feel a bit better. Before he can get too comfortable though, he begins to feels a nasty sensation in his stomach and begins to feel dizzy. Over time the effect begin to drain him to the point where he is slow to move around.

Condition: Poison (Health will decrease every 2 minutes)

George is barely able to see and wants to use his herbs, but is unable to find a source of water to mix with the herbs as the fountain next to him is not functioning.

Opening the door to the 3rd floor hall, he rushes to the bathroom. While he heads towards the bathroom, he sees the same girl that he saw before. However, due to his blurred vision, he is unable to see who the girl is. By the voice he continues to think that it’s perhaps Maria.

Unable to see correctly and fearing his intestines being eaten alive by the poison, he’s relieved when he enters the bathroom. There is a zombie inside the bathroom that attempts to bite him. Out of desperation he shoots a magnum round to the zombie’s head blasting its head off.

Magnum Rounds: 3

After killing the zombie, he heads to the sink to apply water to the mixed herbs. Once he applies water to the mixture, he decides to use the mixture.

George uses the mixed herbs.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

After taking the herbal mixture, he begins to vomit into the toilet in an attempt to remove the toxins in his system. Once George vomits his guts out, he begins to regain his vision back and sits down on the toilet until the effects wear off.

“Oh that feels better! This place is getting freakier by the minute. Now there are giant frogs in the hospital. Something was definitely taking place in this place, but as much as I want to find out I better get outta here first.” He says to himself figuring survival should be his main focus.

Once George feels better, he gets up and explores the bathroom further and finds an item in a medicine cabinet.

Picked up a First Aid Spray.

Exiting the bathroom, he walks back into the third floor hallway which has a different color scheme with beige walls along with a tan colored rug. The lights are rather dim, but bright enough that he can see where he’s going. There are a few zombies in the hallways blocking his way towards the stairway leading to the parking lot where his car is located.

He easily kills the zombies blocking the door and notices he’s running low on ammo for his weapons.

Pistol Ammo: 14

Rushing to open the door, he sees the door is locked with a magnet on the top. There is a panel next to the door that needs two keycards to open the door. One keycard is red while the other is blue.

“Damn, these security measures!” He says flustered.

After seeing the door is locked, he hears screaming coming from down the hall and runs towards the noise. When he gets to where he believes the noise is coming from, he spots a janitor’s closet. Entering with his weapon drawn, he finds nobody inside. However, he does find some ammo pickups.

Picked up +6 Magnum Rounds.

Magnum Rounds: 9

Picked up +20 Pistol Bullets

Pistol Ammo: 34

After getting the ammo and he leaves the room, he sees a ceiling vent come down and a frog appear in front of him. The frog attempts to spit poison at him.

Press “A” and “B” to dodge… Good!

Diving to his right, he avoids the poison spit and pulls out his magnum. The frog jumps towards him tackling him, the frog tries to eat him by grabbing him with its tongue. However, a doctor comes in and gets in the way sacrificing his life for George. The frog takes the doctor and swallows the entire body in one swallow. George is in shock by what just happened, but decides to pull out his magnum and shoots the frog dead in two shots.

Magnum Rounds: 7

“Holy shit that frog just ate that doctor! As bad as I feel for the doctor, if he wasn’t here to get in the way I would had be in the frog’s body being decomposed.” He counts his blessings.

Walking around the halls and entering the rooms, George realizes that he’s located in the administrative area where the big honchos are located. Entering the president’s room, he can see a room filled with many luxurious items and a well maintained table. However, as heads to where the president is located, he isn’t there.

Instead the vice president is there being eaten by a couple of hungry zombies in doctor uniforms. A zombie ambushes him from behind and begins to bite his shoulders. He takes a decent amount of damage from the bites.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

Pushing the zombie away, he turns around and shoots it in the head a few times before it goes down to the floor. After killing off the zombie that bit him, he focuses on the other two eating the vice president.

Pistol Ammo: 30

He sees a long knife that he takes as he sneaks on the two zombies. Using the knife, he stabs one of the zombies in the head. The other zombie gets up and begins to go after him. He tries to throw the knife at the zombie’s head, but the knife misses the zombie badly. The zombie dives at him and lands on his legs trying to bite him on the knees.

George fires his pistol at the zombie’s head and kills it, but not before he takes more damage. Looking at his leg, he sees the zombie bite is well defined.

Pistol Ammo: 26

Condition: Danger

Realizing his wounds are pretty bad and he can’t take another hit, he uses his first aid spray.

George uses a First Aid Spray.

Condition: Fine

The sting is bad at first, but after about five minutes the sting goes away and his wounds begin to get slightly better. However, he can’t afford to stop as the zombies are overflowing the hospital. He heads to the body of the vice president and sees that the body has been bitten up too badly to save.

The vice president has bite marks all over his body and his mouth is wide open as he it looks like he was screaming in pain before he passed away. There is no saving the man, George decides to dig into the pockets of the man and finds a key.

Picked up a key.

George CHECKS the key and turns it around. It’s a key to the Fifth Floor main office.

“Hmm… I wonder if that’s where the keycards are located.” He asks himself.

Taking the key, he heads out of the office and bumps into a few zombies that he kills easily using his pistol.

Pistol Ammo: 20

“Arggghhh!” A man is screaming in the hallway.

George runs towards the noise and sees a man run into the main office for the third floor. He sees the zombie that is chasing him and kills it before it could go after the person.

Pistol Ammo: 15

After killing the zombie, he runs to the room to see if the man is somebody that he knows. Upon further review it turns out to be Danny Witwer.

“Well… well! If it isn’t Witwer the Snake! You wisenheimer, I should have known that you set Dave up. You thought you were such a smart ass. I ought to blow your brains out for what you did to my friend, Charles Bronson style” George points his gun at Witwer.

“Calm down… calm down George, will you? I didn’t want to do it or even release this virus…” Witwer is cut off by George.

“But you did it anyway. Let me guess, it was all for the Benjamin’s, right?” He asks.

“Look it’s not like that man…” Witwer says defensively.

“Shut up you schmuck! I don’t wanna hear your excuses. You’re just panicking because all your sins are being exposed! Tell me… what’s stopping me from murdering you in cold blood?” George asks.

“Your conscience… you wouldn’t shoot me. Let’s face it, you’re no vigilante. You’re just a wannabe Charles Bronson. Once they find my dead body…” Witwer answers.

“If they find your body and you aren’t eaten by the zombies. As far as I’m concerned, I’m in the driver’s seat and for your own sake you might want to give up the macho act. Also, I can care less if they find you. Besides you have no witnesses or cameras, they might just consider you a causality of your own greed. You’re right, I’m no Charles Bronson, unlike Death Wish this is no movie. I got no problem ending your life here in cold blood along with all these zombies. Listen, I’ll cut you a deal.” He answers.

“What do you… wanna do with me?” Witwer asks in fear.

“Tell me who killed Dave! Spit it out and tell me what business you have with Hybrid and make it snappy! I’m not afraid to take you out of your misery.” George makes his demands.

“Hey man, I think you’re asking too much from me. I can help…” George cocks his pistol and Witwer tries to finish his sentence, “Escape.”

“Listen smart ass, I can escape myself. Don’t play games, Witwer. I know you put the hit on Dave and I want to know how much those Hybrid goons paid you! Your ass is going to jail, but if you confess just maybe the authorities will go easy on you. What do you say? Is your life worth more than covering for a corporation that doesn’t give a hell about you and will make you into one of their zombie puppets? At the end of the day it’s your decision.” George gives Witwer an ultimatum.

“Ah… ok George, just don’t shoot me, please. Anyway, I’ll start with my involvement with Hybrid.” Witwer gives in to George’s demands.

Witwer begins to admit his involvement with Hybrid.  As he talks, a loud noise from the ceiling can be heard.

“What the hell is that?” George asks.

“Oh no…” Witwer answers.

“What do you mean, oh no?” George asks angrily.

Before Witwer is able to answer, a frogger come down from the ceiling.

“Oh shit! Frogger, I didn’t think a frog would grow this big!” Witwer begins to freak out over the monster he helped create.

The creature uses its long tongue to grab Witwer and brings him towards its huge mouth ready to eat him alive. George tries to shoot the creature, but he notices that his magnum has run out of rounds and he has to reload.

“Crap I gotta reload! Hold on Witwer!” George says as he has to reload his weapon.

While he reloads his weapon, the frogger grabs Witwer with its long tongue. George manages to find an iron pipe that he’ll try to use to pull Witwer from the frog.

“Witwer, grab onto the pipe and I’ll try to pull you back!” George instructs Witwer.

He heads towards Witwer and attempts to pull him back.

Press “A” repeatedly to pull… Good!

Now press “B” repeatedly to pull… Not good enough!

Despite his best efforts, he’s unable to pull Witwer away from the frog. After a long struggle, the frogger is able to pull Witwer and eats him alive.

“No! Witwer! Damn it, but then again he got what was coming to him. As for you test tube freak, you’re gonna get yours!” He says while staring at the frog.

The frog tries to spit at George, but the spit hits the sofa before it hits him. The frog begins to hop and that makes him unable to get a clear shot on the frog. When the frogger lands on the floor it tries to tackle him.

Press “A” and “B” to dodge… Well Done!

He’s able to dive towards the left and the frog hits the sofa instead. The frog uses its tongue to grab and throw George towards the wall. George hits the wall quite hard and takes quite a bit of damage. Dropping his magnum, the frogger tries to grab his gun with its tongue.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

However, he’s able to grab his gun quickly enough and gets up on his feet. He waits until the frog opens its mouth ready to spit and immediately shoots the frog with his magnum. After a couple of shots, the frog begins to bleed and eventually dies.

Magnum Rounds: 5

George looks for any sign of Witwer, but it looks like the frogger did the dirty work of killing him.

“I can’t say he didn’t have it coming to him. However, it would have been good to get this guy to the police and have him help me get out of here. Well at least to some degree, Dave’s been avenged. It just makes it harder to get dirt on Hybrid.” He says flustered.

He knows that Hybrid is behind the outbreak, but knows that survival is the name of the game for now until he can gather himself. Before he leaves the office though, he does see something shining on the tan rug.

Picked up a Red Keycard.

George CHECKS the Keycard and looks at the back. It indicates that the card is for the panel leading to the door leading to the parking lot.

Taking the keycard, he heads back to the panel. Before he gets to the panel though, he sees an armed security guard trying to shoot at a zombie. However, the guard runs out of bullets on his clip and the zombie eventually bites him.

When George gets to the guard, he kills the zombie that was biting him. After killing the zombie, he head to the guard to check up on him.

Pistol Ammo: 11

“Hey, are you ok?” He asks the injured guard.

“Thanks for… trying to save me, but I think it’s too… late to save me. That zombie… got me good and I’m sure… the virus will begin to spread… in my body faster… than a cure can be found.” The guard says weakly and in pain.

“Don’t give up man, please.” George tries to lift up the sprit of the injured guard.

“It’s no use. Those bastards… from Hybrid did it! They managed… to create a bio-weapon… that will destroy the world… as we know it. Argghhh!” The guard screams in pain as the virus begins to spread through his body.

George begins to see the guard’s veins turn purple indicating the Raven Hawk has begun to spread through his body. Once he sees the veins turn color, he backs away with his weapon drawn ready to shoot.

“Please shoot me! I’m about to turn into a zombie, hurry for your own sake. Shoot me!” The guard begs George to end his life.

“No I don’t want to!” He tears up not wanting to shoot the guard.

“Aghhh! The guard screams as his skin turns pale and he begins to take the form of a zombie.

When the guard transforms into a zombie and begins to give chase to George, he has no choice but to kill the guard with his pistol. Once he kills the guard, he begins to tear up.

Pistol Ammo: 6

“Damn, I’m sorry I didn’t want to do it. I promise Hybrid is gonna pay for this!” He says as he checks on the dead guard.

After dealing with the guard he sees an ammo pack on the guard.

Picked up +30 Pistol Bullets. Pistol Ammo: 36

Heading to the panel, he inserts the keycard into the keycard reader for the red keycard.

Red Keycard accepted, another personnel keycard required to gain access to the parking lot.

With the key to the fifth floor in his hand, he decides to go back to the stairway and head up to the fifth floor in hopes of finding the blue keycard. When he gets to the stairway, he begins to head up the stairs and spots a plant.

Picked up a Red Herb. It’s useless by itself, but if mixed with the green herb the healing effects will be magnified.

As he goes up the stairs, he begins to head to the 5th floor. When he approaches the fifth floor the ceiling begins to fall apart and debris begins to fall. Seeing the ceiling fall, he begins to run back down the stairs. Despite running as fast as he can, the debris nearly hits him.

Press “A” and “B” to dive… Great!

He’s able to dive forward and lands on the 4th floor hard. The ceiling crumbles and after it’s all set and done the 5th floor becomes inaccessible.

“Damn, this place is fall apart now? But why?” He asks.

All of a sudden he hears heavy footsteps coming from the 4th floor and says, “Who’s there?”

He gets no answer though and he carefully walks into the 4th floor hallway. The footsteps get louder and he begins to become concerned as he believes those are not footsteps of a human. He finds himself on the first level of the patient rooms.

Entering one of the rooms, he sees a couple of people lying on beds. However according to the loud steady beep, they are already dead due to the lack of care. He also spots a few doctors that were killed and bitten by the zombies. He spots a pickup next to him.

Picked up a Green Herb.

George mixes the Green and Red Herbs to create a Super Herb.

Looking further in the patient room, he finds some ammo.

Picked up +6 Magnum Rounds. Magnum Ammo: 11

After grabbing the ammo, he leaves the room and walks back to the hallway. On the wall there is a map that shows him an alternative stairway to the 5th floor. So he heads towards the door leading to the other stairway, but the door is locked. When he reads the sign next to the door it reads:

This is an emergency stairway and should only be used by staff. A key is needed to open the door.

After reading the sign, he turns back and begins to look for a key. However, with the hospital becoming sparsely populated, it will be tricky to find the key. Walking down the hall the other way, he hears the ceiling crumbling and backs away just in time before he gets hit by the debris.

After the dust settles, he sees something has come down along with the ceiling.

“Holy shit what the hell is that?” He asks.

It’s a huge human figure wearing a red trench coat with huge fists. It’s code named, Mr. Z and it’s supposed to be a superhuman created by Hybrid. However, people close to Hybrid claim that this is a bio-weapon ordered to kill opponents of Hybrid.

Mr. Z walks towards George and grabs him by the head throwing him towards the wall. He hits the wall rather hard and takes damage.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

When he gets up, Mr. Z walks towards him and attempts to deal a strong punch at him.

Press “A” and “B” to dodge… Well Done!

George is able to get out of the way resulting in Mr. Z punching the wall instead of him. The punch is so powerful that a huge hole is made onto the wall. After punching the wall, Mr. Z chases George again. He begins to shoot the superhuman with his magnum and lands a couple of shots.

Magnum Ammo: 9

After taking a couple of shots, Mr. Z punches George down to the floor. He takes a huge hit on the arm while falling to the ground.

Condition: Danger

After punching George, he falls to the ground. Afterward, Mr. Z tries to perform a double axe handle on him. George is barely able to roll out of the way as Mr. Z punches the floor instead of George. When George gets up, he sees Mr. Z is open for attack and he shoots it in the head a couple of times. After those shots, Mr. Z falls to the floor.

Magnum Ammo: 7

Once Mr. Z falls to the floor, George sees an ammo pack fall out of jacket pocket and he picks it up.

Picked up +6 Magnum Rounds. Magnum Ammo: 13

He isn’t sure if Mr. Z is dead though and he doesn’t risk finding out. So he decides to explore the rest of the 4th floor. Walking down the hall, he sees some zombies pop out from one of the patient rooms.

He easily shoots the two zombies as they come out towards the hall.

Pistol Ammo: 29

He decides to heal himself.

George uses the Super Herb.

Condition: Fine

George kills the zombies and enters the room to see if he can find any key items. When he enters, the rooms give him an eerie reminder of when he was in the hospital fighting his constant heart attacks.

“I remember this place too well. Never thought I would ever have to come back here. Well, just my luck I guess. Wait… what’s this?” He says as he picks up a note.

The Raven Hawk Experiment

“To the staff of Woodhull Hospital, we the Hybrid Corporation are purposing that you help us conduct experiments on a few selected individuals. We want to see what happens to certain individuals when we apply the Raven Hawk Vaccine. We are aiming for more of the “cancer” demographic to see if out new breakthrough can indeed defeat cancer.

However, we want to take this even further and bring in animals such as dogs, spiders, and frogs to see if it works on animals before we try humans. Of course, humans are riskier because we have different systems than animals. The testing shall commence on the animals on the 12th floor of your facility. While this is for the better of the medical field, we don’t want anybody possibly stealing our secrets or exposing our experiment pre-maturely.

As for the human testing, we shall start with the patients on the fourth floor as that is where you have indicated that you have cancer patients. However, we expect the results to start kicking in right away as this is rather strong stuff.

We are offering quite the contract as well. Please let your president know. While we can’t say how much we’re offering, it is quite a bit that will benefit the hospital and will put some extra money in your pockets.

Please consider this offer carefully and be aware that this is a time-sensitive offer.”

“Hmm… at least I know how Hybrid was able to swindle the hospital to run their sick experiments. I gotta say using cancer as a front makes me sick but rather clever at the same time.” He says after reading the memo.

Looking around the room, he is sickened by the views of the machines that are inserting the Raven Hawk Virus into human patients who were suffering from cancer.

“Those Hybrid bastards are cashing in on these poor people who have cancer. Damn it, this is gotta stop. Even if it means I get fired from my job as a journalist, this is gotta stop!” He says angrily.

He begins to use his mini camera to take pictures of the room with the machines and the color of the Raven Hawk liquid which is purple. He gets the positives and puts them in his pockets.

“This should help in my case to bust these guys and put them in hot water.” He says after gathering his evidence.

“While I would like to get to the 12th floor, I gotta get out of here.”

Once he gathers his evidence, he continues down the hall and enters the pharmacy where he spots a shaft blocking the path down the hall. He tries to kick the shaft, but it doesn’t budge. Looking to his left, he sees the electrical room and enters.

Entering the electrical room, he sees a power supply and tries to activate it.

Power Supply for the shaft.

The power level must be 80 after flipping the five switches. If you flip up, you will increase power by 36. If you flip down, you will decrease power by 14. Too much power will short out the supply, too little will not be enough to release the lock.

George is not necessarily the smartest egg in the bunch and has a bit of a problem in solving the puzzle. He decides to flip the first two switches up which adds up to 72. Then he flips the next switch down and the last one up. It adds up to 94, which is too much.

The circuit breaker trips the power supply and prevents it from being fried. He decides to calm down and does the math in his head.

George flips the first three switches up and gets to 108. Then he flips the last two switches down. The meter hits 80 on the nose and all of a sudden the power supply turns on. Once it turns on the shaft opens up and access to the rest of the 4th floor is open. He sees a couple of pickups in the room before leaving.

Picked up +6 Magnum Rounds. Magnum Ammo: 19

Before he leaves the pharmacy area, he sees a door leading to the pharmacy that is locked.

A Keycard is required to unlock the door.

Seeing the door is locked, he heads beyond the unlocked shaft and when he leaves the pharmacy area he enters the hallway. When he gets to the hallway, he hears the wall shaking. After a few seconds the wall breaks and Mr. Z pops out from the wall giving chase to George.

“What the hell do you want?! Who are you?!” He asks in shock.

He pulls out his magnum, but Mr. Z slaps it from his hand. Mr. Z tries to perform a double-axe handle on him.

Press “A” and “B” to dodge… Good!

He rolls to his right dodging the attack. The magnum is next to the door leading to the pharmacy. He runs to the run but his momentum causes him to slip back onto the floor. As a result, Mr. Z is able to catch up and grab him.

After grabbing him, Mr. Z throws him towards the door. George gets up quickly, but before he’s able to grab his gun the creature lands a punch on him dealing some damage.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

He is unable to reach for his gun and his pistol is too weak to attack the creature with.

“I gotta find a way to get to my magnum or I’ll have no chance to beat this monster.” He says as he tries to get his magnum back.

Mr. Z attacks George again with another punch and deals even more damage to him.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

When George gets up, he sees an opening between Mr. Z’s legs. However, he is in pain after the two punches he’s received in the battle. Despite that, he fights through the pain and crawls under the creature as quickly as he can.

Despite the painful crawl, he’s able to get his magnum and begins to shoot at Mr. Z a few times.

Magnum Ammo: 16

Despite the shots, Mr. Z doesn’t go down and the creature grabs him again. Mr. Z begins to choke George and he begins to run out of breath quickly. Due to the amount of pressure applied, he drops his magnum once again. George gets a second wind and tries to kick his way out, but Mr. Z is far too strong for George’s kicks. He’s able to somehow pull out his pistol and take aim at Mr. Z’s head. He is desperate to pull the trigger and after a bit of a struggle he’s able to pull the trigger.

The shots land right on Mr. Z’s eyes, which blinds it. He’s able to escape the clutches of the creature and catches his breath. As George catches his breath, Mr. Z holds it’s eyes and kneels down in pain. Seeing Mr. Z down, he uses the opportunity to grab his magnum by the pharmacy door.

Once he grabs his magnum, he shoots a few shots until the creature goes down on the floor hard.

Magnum Ammo: 13

After taking down Mr. Z, he sees a keycard fall from its pockets. He picks up the keycard…

Picked up a Keycard.

George CHECKS the Keycard and turns it around. The Keycard reads “Pharmacy”.

Once he sees that he has picked up the keycard, he uses it to open the pharmacy. After opening the pharmacy, he enters and sees the store for the most part has been ransacked.

There are a few zombies in the store. He kills two of them easily with his pistol. Before he can get comfortable though, a zombie from his right side tries to grab him. The zombie does grab him, but he uses his pistol to whip the zombie in the head to prevent it from biting.

After pushing it away, he blows its head off with his magnum.

Pistol Ammo: 22

Magnum Ammo: 12

Once he clears the area, he sees a green box on the counter.

Picked up a First Aid Box.

George opens the box and finds a First Aid Spray.

George uses the First Aid Spray

Condition: Fine

After healing himself, he hears a loud scream coming from the 5th floor. It sounds like a young girl is in trouble.

“Could that be Maria? If so, I better get up there. She might be in big trouble!” He says after hearing the screaming.

Is the girl upstairs screaming actually Maria? Has George actually killed Mr. Z or will the relentless Mr. Z continue to stalk him throughout the hospital.

Chapter 5

George rushes out of the pharmacy and doesn’t see Mr. Z anymore. He looks around to make sure that the superhuman is not trying to surprise him. With the coast being clear, he runs up the stairs following the female screaming.

Going up the stairs, George is met by a couple of zombies who get up from the floor. Wanting to save his magnum ammo, he uses his pistol to shoot the zombies. He shoots three head shots killing the first zombie easily. The second zombie dives towards his feet and begins to bite his legs.

Pistol Ammo: 26

The zombie takes a bite off his right leg, but George fights through the pain. Using his left foot, he stomps the head of the zombie. The brain of the zombie pops out along with all the fluids including blood. The scene is enough to cause him to gag just a bit.

Holding his urge to puke his guts out, he heads up the stairs to the fifth floor and uses the key to open the locked door. Entering through the door, he sees a sign indicating that he’s in the maternity ward. Walking through the maternity ward, he sees three giant spiders crawling along. The spiders are huge tarantula’s that have been exposed to the Raven Hawk Virus. Besides being giant sized, they also contain a deadly amount of venom that is used to poison their victims. There is a door to a janitor’s room that he rushes into as one of the spiders spits out a poisonous acid.

The spit hits the door barely missing George as he enters. He spots a few pickups inside of the janitor’s room.

Picked up a Pistol Clip. +15 Pistol Ammo. Pistol Ammo: 41

Picked up Magnum Rounds. +6 Magnum Ammo.

Magnum Rounds: 18

Picked up a Green and Blue Herb.

Looking around the room, he finds nothing else. Arming himself with the magnum, he slowly leaves the room. As soon as he opens the door, one of the spiders tries to spit at him again with the poisonous acid. He avoids contact by staying behind the door.

George dives from the door and shoots two magnum rounds, killing the spider that tried to poison him. The second spider crawls towards him attempting to tackle him as he’s diving. His momentum carries him away from the spider. The spider ends up tackling the door leading to the incubation room, breaking the glass. With the spider’s back turned, he shoots three rounds killing the spider. The spider dies spilling a disgusting light green blood on the floor.

Paying too much attention to the blood, he is unaware of the spider that is behind him. The final spider in the hallway rushes and tackles him. After tackling George, the spider strikes him with its front two legs dealing decent damage.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

Despite being whipped towards the wall, he’s able to keep his magnum in his hand. The spider crawls towards him ready to deal a deadly bite. He has trouble getting up now that the spider is on top of him. With no chance to get up and only one bullet in his magnum before having to reload, he has to make his shot count.

The spider’s mouth creeps closer to him and he can see the spider’s fangs biting. With his right hand, he lifts up his magnum and is able to aim for the mouth of the spider.

“Oh man this had better work!” He shouts.

Squeezing the trigger with all his might, the bullet hits the mouth of the spider. The impact and size of the bullet penetrates the mouth and the bullet comes out the back of the spider. The spider screams in pain and hits the ground while green blood splatters out getting onto George’s suit.

“Eww… this stuff is nasty as hell. What did Hybrid do to these spiders? This stuff smells horrible as well. I just better be grateful that I’m alive!” George says.

Magnum Rounds: 12

Getting up after being slimed by the green blood, he reloads his magnum.

“Ahhhh!” The female screams again.

Hearing the screaming again, he begins to walk towards the noise. As far as he can tell, the screaming is coming from straight ahead in the hallway. He can see a door to his left which is locked and needs a keycard. The screaming can be heard again and he decides to not even try to bypass the reader. Rushing through the hall, the screaming becomes louder.

When George gets to the other side of the hallway to the waiting room, he can see what looks to be a young girl running. Before he can get any closer to the girl, he is hit from behind by Mr. Z who breaks through the wall.

“Help me! Don’t let that monster get me.” The young girl shouts.

The young girl runs in fear to the stairwell to her right and heads upstairs without George getting a look at her.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

Getting up quickly, he sees that Mr. Z is the monster who knocked him down from behind. Mr. Z delivers a haymaker that that George is able to duck under. With his magnum, he shoots two rounds into Mr. Z’s head. The two shots cause Mr. Z to backup, but not go down to George’s shock.

“What the hell is this thing? How did it survive two head shots? My God this thing is a freak of nature.” He says.

Mr. Z walks towards George who tries to shoot, but his gun jams up on him. The superhuman traps him in a corner. Mr. Z deals a strong right punch that strikes George good.

Condition: Danger

Taking a bad hit from Mr. Z, he sees an opening between the superhuman’s legs. Despite his injuries, he crawls under Mr. Z and gets to the other side of the waiting room. He slams the magnum on the wall in an attempt to unjam the gun. The gun unjams and he sees Mr. Z turn around going after him once again.

Calmly aiming his magnum, he shoots his gun. It takes another three rounds to get Mr. Z to drop down to the floor.

“God damn it! I thought I was a dead man for a moment.” George says relieved.

Magnum Rounds: 7

With Mr. Z on the ground, he takes a chance looking in its pockets to see if it has anything. Looking in his left pocket, he finds a keycard.

Picked up a Yellow Keycard. Checking the keycard, he reads that it opens the door to the research room.

George checks the other pockets on Mr. Z and finds nothing. Walking away from the superhuman, he heads to the door the young girl opened. The doorknob doesn’t turn.

“Damn she locked it! I gotta make sure she’s ok, who knows if that’s Maria?” George says frustrated.

He kicks the door as hard as he can until he realizes that he has to pull the door open. Refusing to waste time, he turns back to the maternity ward. Walking carefully through the hallway, he is shocked when zombies pop through the windows from the rooms to his left and right.

Trying to push his way through, he is grabbed by the zombie that is in the back of the horde. George pushes the zombie immediately as he can ill afford to take another bite. Running away, he tries to reach the research room but sees three more zombies are in the way.

Surrounded by zombies, he pulls out his magnum and shoots the three zombies in the head. They all go down without their heads as the blood pours from their necks.

Magnum Rounds: 4

Conserving his magnum rounds, he holsters the gun in favor of his pistol. When he sees the horde of remaining zombies, he realizes he doesn’t have enough ammo to kill them all. He rushes into one of the incubation rooms and looks around for anything that might be useful.

Throwing everything in desperation, he eventually finds something that might prove to be useful.

Picked up Flame Rounds. These are flame rounds for a grenade launcher. They are useless without the launcher, but there might be another way to use them.

“Maybe shooting these will set the zombie bastards a blaze!” He says.

He throws the grenade rounds into the horde of zombies. When the rounds land, he carefully aims his pistol and shoots two bullets into the rounds. The flame rounds explode on contact and the flames spread onto the zombies. The flames spread so fast that the sprinkler system activates. The water from the system shuts the fire down quickly, but not until the zombies are charred to a crisp.

Pistol Ammo: 24

“At least the sprinklers work in this God forsaken place, I better try to find some more ammunition. There’s no telling when I’m going to bump into that monster in the red coat.” He says to himself.

George enters the room to the right of the dead zombies. Looking around the room, he finds a couple of dead armed guards on the floor. He looks in the pockets and finds a pistol clip on both bodies.

+30 Pistol Ammo. Pistol Ammo: 54

He begins to feel the pain further on his arm and reluctantly uses the Green/Blue herb combination.

George uses the Green and Blue Herbs.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

The herb does little to cure his pain entirely and he begins to think that health items will be hard to come by. In fact, he begins to think that items in general will be hard to find.

“I might need to pick my battles wisely from here on out. As much as I want to save that girl, I need to save myself first.” He says in pain.

He heads to the other room through the broken window. Looking around, he finds nothing useful except for a blood stained journal on a chair. He opens the journal only to find many empty pages with the exception of the first page.

Sara’s Journal

“Today is such a good day! My sister gives birth to my nephew, I’m writing today to express my happiness. I brought this journal in hopes that I can make this into a best-selling memoir one day. For now though, I just want to enjoy the joy of writing down my life events as they happen. Yes, I will also write what my nephew does as well.

Did I mention that after the birth of my nephew, which should happen in a matter of moments that I will marry my hubby? He’s such a hunk in that doctor’s uniform. It seems like my mother was right when it came to my life coming together.

My husband and I getting married, he’s getting a new job with the biggest pharmaceutical company, and I’m getting a new nephew. After all the depressing years I been through, this is my redemption at life. I’m so excited that I’m having trouble putting words together. Looks like I’m doing a bad job already at being an author, haha. Oh well, I’m sure as I practice more the words will come together.

When I’m done with one year in this journal, I might have my husband read and see if it’s good enough to make into a book. I’m sure he’ll say yes, but I hope that he’ll be a little honest. There goes the doctor calling us… Can’t wait to see my nephew!”

After reading the journal entry, he sees a woman all bitten up. He tries to feel a pulse, but he feels none. He assumes the woman who is dead was the one who wrote the journal entry.

“Poor woman, looks like her life came to an end thanks to the Hybrid Corporation. I sure hope that her nephew at least survived. Looking at the keycard that leads to the research room, I bet there cannot be anything good. I won’t hold my breath when it comes to the little one. Too bad her husband’s new job with Hybrid was nothing but a death trap.” He says soberly to himself.

Finding nothing else in the room, he walks to the door leading to the research room. He grabs the keycard and inserts it into the keycard reader. The maglock holding the door closed unlocks. He opens the right side of the double doors and enters slowly.

He peeks around the door to make sure there is nothing hiding. Seeing the coast is clear, he enters the research room. The room is dark other than the red lights coming from the machines and computers.

“I wonder why this door was locked. There must be something huge in here. That bastard Witwer must have been doing something sinister in here.” George says.

He walks with his pistol drawn looking around. A computer is seen displaying a map of the hospital. George begins to use the computer.

What floors do you want displayed?

1. 1st through 3rd

2. 4th through 7th

3. 8th through 10th

4. 11th floor

You have selected 4th through 7th.

Making his selection on the computer, the screen displays the map for the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. Focusing on the 5th floor, he sees the main office is on the other side of the hospital. The path is blocked by the debris caused by Mr. Z. Looking at the sixth floor on the map, he sees a way he can get down to the other side of the fifth floor. He just hopes that there is nothing that will impede his way.

As he walks deeper into the huge room, he sees many capsules lined up perfectly. Looking in them, he’s shocked to see what is inside.

“Oh lord… it can’t be. They’re taking animals and pouring them inside these capsules filled with the Raven Hawk Virus. It’s what I feared since I broke into the facility by the reservoir. These guys are monsters. If I ever get out of here alive, I’ll make it my mission to destroy them.” He says angrily.

Continuing to walk around the room, he notices that it’s empty for the most part. It’s a bit too quiet for his own good figuring that something is waiting to ambush him.

Reaching the back of the room, he sees a baby on the table. He rushes to the table to see if the baby is alive. To his horror, the baby is not moving and it looks like a needle was struck through it on it’s right arm. The baby has no pulse and he believes that its dead.

“No, what did these monsters do to this kid? Lord have mercy!” He says disgusted.

He sees a locker behind him and opens it. Inside of the locker, he sees a green herb.

Picked up a Green Herb.

George uses the Green Herb. Condition: Caution (Level 1)

Once he heals himself, George sees a document on the floor next to the table. He picks up the paper and begins to read it.

Research Progress

“This might sound like a strange request, but I want you to take one of the babies from the maternity ward. We research each baby for a reason.  We look at the genes, medical conditions, and even down to the DNA. After all, these babies will be the future of our research.

With that being said, I’m eyeing one newborn in particular. His name is Jason Parker, his genes seem to be strong, and I want to see what would happen to him if we gave him the Raven Hawk Vaccine. I’m sure he’ll probably grow into something better than Polybius.

If this is successful, then babies will be a hot commodity for us. This makes it paramount that we keep this room a secret. Knowing the social justice warriors out there, they’ll try to say we’re wrong.

The dawn of a new era is upon us! Soon New York will be under the boot of the Hybrid Corporation!”

“These are some sick individuals to use newborns as subjects for their sick experiments! Now I know that these people must be stopped. They say that a dawn of a new era is upon them. The new era will be when George T. Fisher takes them down and they end up in prison.” He says in his head.

He crumbles up the document in disgust and feels something under his foot. Picking up his left foot, he sees a key that he picks up.

Picked up a Key. Looking at the key, it’s tagged 5th floor east stairway key.

There is nothing else in the room of great importance, so he decides to leave. As he walks away from the table with the baby, he hears a loud boom. A few seconds later, he feels the vibration of the wall behind him.

“Oh crap, don’t tell me he’s back.” He says concerned.

Chapter 6

The vibration begins to pick up in intensity and the wall behind him breaks. Looking behind him, Mr. Z breaks through the wall and begins to give chase.

“Oh crap, I’m out of here! Not sure what that thing is, but it’s trying to tell me to get out of here.” Ge0rge shouts.

He begins to rush out of the room. As cowardly as it might be, he realizes that survival is the name of the game. Escaping the room, he heads back to the maternity ward. As soon as he leaves the research room, George slips onto the floor while Mr. Z breaks through the door leading to the research room.

“Lord have mercy! That bastard is one bad motherfucker!” He says in shock.

Mr. Z walks towards him as he tries to get up. George is able to get up, but Mr. Z tries to deliver a haymaker at him. He quickly ducks under the punch which goes into the wall. The punch creates a six inch hole that George simply avoids looking at.

He continues to sprint from Mr. Z after seeing the power it possesses. Getting to the locked stairway door in the waiting room, he grabs the key he got before. He sees the tag and realizes that he has the wrong key. Looking behind him, Mr. Z begins to walk towards him and he quickly pulls the other key out of his pocket.

Turning the key on the lock, he’s able to open the door and run up the stairs to the sixth floor. He runs up the stairs like never before and sweats as he’s running until he gets to the landing for the sixth floor. Opening the door, he enters the hallway hoping he loses Mr. Z.

On the sixth floor, he sees that he’s in the ICU area. Walking through the hallway, he spots a red herb next to a set of double doors.

Picked up a Red Herb.

As useless as a red herb is by itself, he knows that he’s only a green herb away from having a herb that can heal even the worst of wounds. Opening the double doors to the next leg of the hallway, he spots two froggers in the hallway. With his limited magnum ammo, he has to shoot wisely.

One of the froggers grabs his leg with its tongue and attempts to pull him towards its mouth. Pulling out his magnum, he shoots the frog in the mouth twice until it dies leaving behind a pool of green blood.

Magnum Rounds: 2

Falling on the floor, he has little time to recover before the second frog begins to hop towards him. When the frog reaches him, it attacks him by slashing him with its claws created from the mutation.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

The attack causes a decent amount of damage to George. He attempts to shoot the frog when it opens its mouth, but his arm jerks due to the pain he’s taken. The arm jerk causes him to miss and shoot the smoke alarm above him.

Magnum Rounds: 1

With only one bullet left in his magnum, he knows he needs to be precise in his next shot. Looking at the huge frogger in the eye, he waits for it to open its mouth. The frogger tries to spit a poisonous white substance at him. He’s able to dive to the right just in the nick of time to avoid contact with the vile substance. The poison has a high acidity level similar to what the giant spiders spit. The spit hits a door and begins to cause the door to melt.

On the floor, George is still hesitant to shoot his final magnum round. That hesitation causes him as the frog grabs his shooting arm with its tongue and begins to pull him. His mini camera falls from his pockets and breaks into pieces.

George stretches his left arm to reach his right arm that is holding the magnum. Grabbing the magnum with his left hand, he aims the best he can on the froggers mouth.

“I gotta make sure this one counts or it’ll be RIP for me.” He says.

As the frogger’s tongue continues to pull him, he closes his eyes and hopes for the best as he squeezes the trigger. He shoots his last magnum round and the bullet travels perfectly into the froggers mouth. The bullet doesn’t come out of the back of the frogger like the other, but its enough to kill it.

Magnum Rounds: 0

Just like the other frogger, green blood comes out. Unlike the blood of the spiders though, the blood doesn’t have that pungent smell that made him vomit. With his mini camera damaged and lost, he won’t be able to take pictures of what he’s seen. Looking in his pockets, he notices all the pictures he took are gone as well along with his car keys.

“It’s a shame that I can’t take pictures. I must have dropped the other picture when the monster was chasing me. Not to mention my car keys are gone, it looks like I’ll need to invest in a new car. That Mustang was my baby. Crud, no one is going to believe me. It’ll be my word against theirs. Knowing my brownnose boss, he’ll fire me if I try to give him the truth. For now, I just need to get out of here. I’ll see if I can get Elaine to come get me.” He says in his head.

He pulls out his retro style flip-phone and calls Elaine. He hears a few rings until his friend Elaine picks up. He and Elaine go way back. She was a fellow co-worker when George was a local politician. George was actually romantically involved with her until she revealed that she was still married. Not wanting to cause Elaine trouble with her marriage, he stepped away. Nevertheless, he still has feelings for her. She is around 50 just like he is.

“Hi George, how does the battle go for you?” Elaine answers.

As soon as she answers, he thinks how to answer.

What will George say?

1. Elaine, as much as I want to have a friendly talk, I need your help right now. (Passive)

2. Elaine, I’m in the nut house known as Woodhull Hospital and if you don’t come get me, zombies will eat me. (Neutral)

3. Elaine, can you come rescue me from the hospital and after that I like to go out on a date with you. What do you say, my hero? (Aggressive)

You have chosen choice #1.

Figuring that she will not be interested in a date with him, he goes with the passive response.

“Elaine, as much I want to have a friendly talk, I need your help right now.” He answers Elaine.

“What’s wrong baby? What do you need for? Feeling depressed again? You need me to cheer you up again?” She answers him.

“I don’t need that kind of help believe it or not. I’m in Woodhull Hospital for an appointment and all of a sudden the building becomes infected with… zombies.” He answers her questions.

“Zombies? You must be joking!” She replies.

“I’m not, I don’t know if you can see the news about the hospital. If not, forget it, just come get me. I’m in bad shape right now.” He says hurt.

“Babe, do you know how the zombies came about? Is it a virus or what? I’ve read books about them before, just never thought they could be real.” She asks.

George thinks about whether he should tell her what he knows.

What will George say?

1. Mention nothing about the Raven Hawk and Hybrid (Passive)

2. Tell Elaine about the Hybrid Corporation. (Aggressive)

You have chosen choice #1.

“I have no idea where these zombies coming from. Just come get me, I’ll be in the parking lot. At least, I hope I’ll be there. If I don’t call you, just leave and save yourself.” George says.

He decides to keep his knowledge to himself as he doesn’t want to risk Elaine’s life.

“I’ll be there babe. It’ll take me about a half hour to get there. If there are any zombies in the street, I’ll take care of them with my car.” Elaine responds.

“Cool, see you there. By the way…” Before he can finish, he hears the door to the stairway slam open.

Looking behind him, he sees that it’s Mr. Z continuing to pursue him.

“Babe… babe are you there?” Elaine loses George.

Mr. Z shows up in the hallway and gives George quite the scare.

“What the hell? How do you know where I am? What do you want from me or are you a programmed killing machine? Now I know I better get out of this hell hole!” He replies to Mr. Z.

Mr. Z seems to have no intention of answering back. With no ammo for his magnum, George runs from the superhuman. He runs through the ICU area where zombies are seen getting up from the beds and floor. With barely any ammo, he decides to run through the room. Looking behind him, he sees Mr. Z punching the zombies like they were ragdolls.

“This guy is a monster! He just plowed his way through those zombies. This is like the nightmare I used to have as a kid.” He shouts.

He keeps running as fast as he can from the monster. As he continues to go through the double doors, Mr. Z continues to break through the doors like nothing. George tries to lose Mr. Z by making quick turns as he runs. Despite going out of his way from the other side of the hall, his focus is to lose the superhuman first.

He ends up in a break room for the employees. Peeking out of the door, he sees Mr. Z turning around and going back the other way. He takes a deep breath and catches a short rest by sitting on one of the chairs.

After a couple of minutes, George realizes that he cannot sit too long as Mr. Z is bound to find him soon. He walks around the break room looking for anything useful. All he finds though is expired food in the fridge along with flat sodas in the vending machines. He does see a pick up on the table though upon further review.

Picked up a Green Herb.

George uses the Green Herb. Condition: Caution (Level 1)

After healing himself, he finds nothing else besides a note that he reads.

Memo: Today’s menu for the Patients

- Mashed Potatoes and Gravy or Grilled Cheese with Bacon Sandwich

- Pineapple Slices or Apple Slices

- Water or Orange Juice. For select patients, milk will be given.

July 11th 2007

Woodhull Hospital Cafeteria Staff 

“Oh great, just today’s menu. Too bad, nobody counted on human beings being in the menu.” He says.

With nothing useful on the on the memo, he walks around and finds nothing else useful in the room. Before he can leave the room, Mr. Z busts through the door and strikes him with a strong right fist.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

He falls hard to the ground as Mr. Z tries to stomp him with its foot. He’s barely able to roll out of the way. After rolling, he shoots three pistol rounds at the head of Mr. Z.

Pistol Ammo: 51

The head shots are enough to cause Mr. Z to cover its face and kneel down. That gives enough time for George to get up and run out of the room. He runs out of the break room and back to the hall. Getting back on the path to the other side of the hallway on the sixth floor, he runs as fast as he can until he sees a sign saying he’s on the west side of the building.

He looks behind him to make sure the monster is not behind him. George sees nothing but an empty hall, but he doesn’t take a chance as he keeps running through the hallway. When he stops to catch his breath, he sees an autopsy room to his left. He decides to check it as he might find something useful while hiding from Mr. Z.

Chapter 7

George opens the door and he counts six dead bodies lying on the floor. He walks carefully to make sure none of the bodies are alive. With his pistol in his hand, he walks to the back of the room. For the most part, the autopsy room is empty minus a few beds, and the storage compartments to store dead bodies.

The door has a small window that George looks through. When he looks through the window, he sees Mr. Z.

“Oh crap, I better hide! This monster is determined to kill me.” He whispers.

He hides under the table and keeps his eyes on Mr. Z. Luckily for him the monster decides to walk past the autopsy room. He breathes a sigh of relief and sees that Mr. Z is walking the other way. With the monster out of the way, he continues to explore the room.

He opens the draws on the table and finds nothing but autopsy records along with studies.

“Damn I can’t find jack shit in this place. As much as I don’t want to leave that girl here, I gotta save myself first and stop Hybrid before anymore people die.” He whispers.

Ransacking the rest of the room, he continues to come up empty until he reaches a counter in the far back. Opening the door to the counter, he finds another keycard.

Picked up a Black Keycard. Looking at the back, it reads “Weapon Storage”

After picking up the keycard, a metal door falls off one of the storage units. A few seconds later, a zombie comes out of the storage unit and the six zombies on the floor rise from the floor.

“Oh God, I’m not safe even in the autopsy room!” George shouts.

With pistol in hand, he begins to shoot the zombie that comes out of the storage unit and kills it in four shots.

Pistol Ammo: 47

After killing the first zombie, he tries to kill the rest of them. He’s able to kill two of them until the other four begin to get too close for comfort. Not wanting to be bitten, he jumps on one of the beds, and rolls off it. The bed is rather stiff and uncomfortable. He falls to the floor on his hurt arm and he feels the pain again.

Pistol Ammo: 40

Ignoring the pain, he goes back to shooting the rest of the zombies. Considering the zombies are not smart or athletic enough to go through the beds, shooting the zombies is an easy task for George. After shooting off 15 rounds, he manages to survive the onslaught.

Pistol Ammo: 25

Running out of bullets, he desperately looks for the weapon storage hoping to find much needed supplies. He finds a map of the hospital for the sixth floor and sees the weapon storage is not on the sixth floor. The stairwell to the 5th floor west side is next to him though and he heads towards the door.

The ceiling ahead of him collapses and Mr. Z comes down from the seventh floor to George’s shock. The double doors behind him close by themselves. Running to the door, George turns the doorknob only to find out the doors are locked with a maglock. Mr. Z walks towards him and tries to strike him with a left hook that he’s able to side step from.

The fist hits the door and damages it to the point where it’s beyond repair. Mr. Z grabs him as he tries to run from it and throws him towards the broken door. George hits the door hard and takes a decent amount of damage.

Condition: Danger

After hitting the door, he is unable to get up quickly. Mr. Z joins his left and right hands and tries to perform a double-axe handle on George. With no energy to get up, he braces for impact hoping to survive. As Mr. Z lifts up its arms ready to strike, loud booms can be heard.

He sees blood coming from the head of Mr. Z as he struggles to roll away or get up for that matter. The loud booms continue and he can only wonder where they’re coming from. Mr. Z turns its attention towards looking behind it and walks in the other direction. A few seconds later, the monster goes down on its knees and falls face first.

“Wait, who shot that monster down? Who’s there?” He shouts.

He looks ahead and spots a mysterious looking woman with long hair. His vision is impaired at the moment and he’s unable to tell who the woman is.

“Get out of here, now!” The mysterious woman screams.

The woman runs down the stairway and says nothing more. George is finally able to start getting up and looks in the pockets of Mr. Z to see if he finds anything useful. He finds some much needed ammo.

Picked up two Pistol Clips. +30 Pistol Ammo.

Pistol Ammo: 55

He finds nothing to heal himself however, which is what he desperately needs. Limping his way towards the end of the hall, his vision begins to get a little better. When he reaches the end of the hall, he finds an aerosol can on the floor that he picks up.

Picked up a First Aid Spray.

George uses the First Aid Spray.

Condition: Fine

When he uses the first aid spray, he begins to feel much better. His vision improves as well. He’s unsure who left it for him, but he believes the mystery woman probably left it for him. Despite the good will, he can’t be entirely sure whose side is she’s on and why did she tell him to leave.

“In one sense she saved me from Mr. Z, but in another sense she just left. Either she really saved me or she wants me out of here because she’s with Hybrid. Then again she could have just shot me, I was down.” He says to himself.

Looking further on the floor, he finds shell casings of a Desert Eagle Action Express. The bullet casings are fifty calibers as far as he can tell. The problem is that he has no idea where she could have gone.

He goes down the stairway and goes back to the fifth floor. There are four zombies are in the hallway who were doctors before they were exposed to the virus. He kills the four zombies easily with his pistol.

Pistol Ammo: 41

He looks for the main office located on the floor. This part of the fifth floor is dark with only a few lights on. Walking carefully, he sees the weapon storage room with the keycard reader next to the door. Looking at the reader though, there is no light on the reader. He inserts the black keycard into the reader, but it doesn’t enter the reader.

“Damn, it looks like the reader is out of order. I better find the power source, pronto. My only chance for survival is in there.” He says.

Looking at the map next to the weapon storage of the floor, he sees that the power room is located by the waiting room where he was cut off from the rest of the fifth floor. He walks down the hall and is grabbed by a zombie on his left side. The zombie bites him on his injured arm before he pushes it away.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

After pushing the zombie away, he shoots the zombie with three head shots with his pistol killing it.

Pistol Ammo: 38

Once the zombie is dead, George turns to his right and walks towards the power station. Before he can get to the power station, there is a shaft that is blocking him. There is no power going to the shaft, but upon further review he sees that there is a manual override bolt. He has nothing to turn it though.

There is a door to his right that he opens. Upon entering he sees that it’s the mechanical room. Looking around the room, he’s interrupted by a loud sound coming from above. He sees a pointy stick next to him that he grabs just in case.

Picked up a Pointy Stick. Normally used to pick up small pieces of paper, this can be used as a last resort defensive item.

With the pointy stick in hand, he slowly walks deeper into the room. Reaching the back of the room, he bumps into a tool cabinet. He looks in the toolbox until he finds a tool that will turn the bolt. Eventually he finds something.

Picked up a Wrench. This can be used to turn the bolt and override the shaft.

As soon as his hands touch the wrench, he hears the loud noise again. Taking the wrench, he sees a vent come down along with a new creature he hasn’t seen.

“What the hell is that?” He asks.

The new creature is a lizard that is able to stand up on two feet. It sports a pair of deadly claws along with high agility. It’s code named Lizarda.

The Lizarda jumps up to one of the shelves and attempts to slash George in midair. He is able to duck under the attack and tries to run out of the room. The Lizarda jumps up and it lands in front of the door. It attempts to attack George again and he’s able to back away from the attack. As he’s moving backward, he slips on some papers and falls. The Lizarda walks up to George as he tries to get up.

With the pointy stick in hand, he waits until the lizard gets close and thrusts the stick into the heart of the creature. He thrusts the stick continuously into the heart in a desperate attempt to kill it. After about ten thrusts, the Lizarda falls and screams until it falls to the floor. When it falls to the ground, blue blood begins to pour out. While the color might be different, George still associates the lizard as a by product of the Hybrid Corporation.

Getting up from the floor, he looks at the lizard to make sure its dead. Leaving the mechanical room, he heads back to the shaft. Going to the shaft, he uses the wrench to turn the bolt. Fighting the pain of his arm, he turns the bolt as fast as he can. The shaft goes up slowly. Despite it going up slowly, he continues to fight through the pain knowing his life is on the line.

After a minute or so of turning the bolt, the shaft goes up and the path is clear for him to move forward. Going through the hallway, he can see the door to the power area just ahead. He walks to the brown metal door until he hears the wall behind break. When he turns back, he finds that it’s Mr. Z once again giving chase.

He runs into the power room and sees that it’s full of transformers along with huge circuit breaker boxes. George hides behind one of the transformers when Mr. Z breaks the metal door. The monster begins to look for him around the room. George moves around the power room keeping his eyes on where Mr. Z is going. Moving around the room hiding from the monster, he reaches a closet.

He enters the closet and is barely able to fit due to his build. Mr. Z walks around the room looking for George and passes by the closet. The monster doesn’t see George and passes right by him. After a minute, Mr. Z screams in fury and leaves the room. Once George sees it leave, he squeezes out of the closet.

“Man do I need to lose weight when this is over.” He says to himself.

Looking around the room, he passes by many circuit breaker boxes until he spots one that is labeled “fifth floor west”. He carefully opens the box and sees the circuit breakers inside labeled.

Which breaker will you trip?

1. Weapon Storage Keycard Reader

2. Elevator

3. 5th Floor East Hall Lights

4. 5th Floor West Hall Lights

You have tripped breakers 1 and 4.

Switching the breakers, the breakers stay in place. That perplexes him wondering why those breakers off were in the first place. He doesn’t think about it much and leaves the power room. Walking back to the hallway, he sees the hall lights are on. Before he gets to the weapon storage room, zombies pop out of the offices to his left and right.

Running back to get distance, he begins to shoot the five zombies. He kills four of them easily while one of them dives towards his feet. The zombie begins to bite his left foot and he steps on its head with his right foot. He avoids taking any damage from the bite.

Pistol Ammo: 22

Figuring the offices won’t have anything useful, he decides to go to the keycard reader. He inserts the card reader and the light turns green. A click is heard and he opens the door. In the storage room, he finds ammo and healing items that he helps himself to.

Picked up +12 Magnum Rounds. Magnum Rounds: 12

Picked up Two Pistol Clips. Pistol Ammo: 52

Picked up a Green Herb.

Picked up a Red Herb.

George mixes the Green and Red Herbs to create a Super Herb.

After picking up the items, he reloads his magnum with the fresh bullets. Looking around the room, he sees a locker that he opens. There is a UMP 45 that could be useful.

“This can be useful, just what the doctor ordered. Not sure what it’s doing in a hospital, but whatever.” He says happily.

Picked up a UMP 45. This is a great sub-machine gun capable of clearing out a room full of zombies. George checks the gun only to find that the gun doesn’t shoot and is broken. It can be repaired in the basement armory.

“Crap it’s broken! Just my lousy luck I guess. God damn it, can anything else go wrong in this hell hole.” He says.

Slamming the gun on the floor, he finds nothing else in the room and leaves. He refuses to go back to the basement to repair the gun knowing Mr. Z is around looking for him along with the other bio-hazard creatures. Back in the hallway, he walks straight instead of going right like before. After walking for a minute, he finds the main office. Grabbing the key for the door, he opens it and enters.

Looking in the room, he begins to ransack the room in anger over what the hospital has allowed to happen. His emotions get the best of him as he suspects that the hospital is part of the cover up and perhaps working with Hybrid. Throwing the chairs and ripping the draws off the desk like a madman, he eventually finds a document that catches his attention.

Contract with Hybrid

To: My trustworthy assistant AKA –Gregory:  The Head of Surgery

“We’re about to make a fortune with Hybrid, but there is a catch. We have to make sure this stays secret as I’m sure the authorities along with those FDA goonies won’t take well to this partnership. Anyway, we are to keep the secret experiments with Hybrid on the 12th floor. Don’t worry, as long as a certain someone keeps their mouth shut, we’ll be alright. That means you!

The 12th floor is not on any maps for a reason and it’s to stay that way. I never mentioned this, but I’m not only interested in the money. I’m actually intrigued by the idea of creating super creatures and superhumans. I love the idea of being a superhuman and working with Hybrid. I always dreamed of a New World Order where I have the power.

You see I was always bullied in school for being a ‘nerd’. I won’t bore you with my life story and just cut to the chase. Hybrid will pay us our first quarter of a million dollars as soon as we provide test results for Mr. Z. It’s supposed to be their new ultimate superhuman model since the failure of Polybius. I’m glad that Polybius failed, besides I didn’t want to turn into a monster.

Although I will say having a huge claw like Polybius would be nice.  I can use it to kill my enemies, especially that bastard George Fisher. I hate him with a passion and he’s the only man I know who can foil me and my plans. Oh he thinks he can hide behind his pen name of ‘The Fish Master’, so clever yet so predictable!

Hybrid has also told me that a bonus will be offered if we whack anybody on their hit list or those we suspect are onto them. George might not be on their hit list, but he’s on mine! Also that Dave man gets on my nerves, a wannabe scientist. I can’t believe he thought we were actually friends, what a buffoon. Too bad I won’t get my hands on him as ‘Mr. B’ will take care of him, oh well. The ultimate power will be in our hands soon enough. Raven Hawk will be the virus that takes out bodies to the next level. We will along with Hybrid created a master race!

If it seems I’m losing my mind, I’m not! I’m just very focused and I know I can trust you. However, I have to let you know anyway. If I find out that you’re trying to screw me over or you tell the authorities, especially George or Dave, I will personally take you out!

P.S. – I really mean the last part.

Sincerely,

Witwer – President of Woodhull Hospital

“I’m glad that bastard Witwer got what he deserved! Looks like I’m in a rat trap. Best thing for me to do is get out of here before I become public enemy number one for Hybrid.” He says.

Reading the memo confirms his suspicions that the meeting between Hybrid and Witwer was nothing but bad news. In fact, he finds out that there are more skeletons in the closet. Opening the draw to the desk, he finds a keycard.

Picked up a Blue Keycard. Looking in the back of the keycard, it reads 3rd floor parking lot door.

“I got the second keycard for the parking lot. I got my escape route planned now. It’s just the matter of actually escaping.” He says.

One thing he hasn’t seen or heard for a while is the little girl. He questions if she’s still alive and if so, where? He also wonders if he was just hearing and seeing things as he’s been seeing a lot of weird things. For now, he just wants to escape and figure out how to expose Hybrid from the comfort of his home.

Chapter 8

With both keycards in his hand, he leaves the room slamming the door. After leaving the room, he kneels down and cries in anger.

“Why? Why? These bastards have gone too far! I’ll avenge you Dave. That’s not a threat but a promise.” He says angrily.

Gathering himself after his angry outburst, he walks to the stairway door. Walking down the stairs, he gets all the way to the fourth floor without incident. He sees a gate blocking the stairs leading down to the third floor.

“Crap! Just what I needed, another obstacle. I bet that woman is trying to make sure I don’t escape. I gotta watch my back and make sure I get out of here in one piece.” He says while kicking the gate.

The gate doesn’t budge despite his hard kicks. Turning around, he heads to the fourth floor. Entering the hallway, he walks in slowly. He sees a sign indicating that he’s in the dental care area of the hospital. As he looks ahead, he can see the hall in front of him is filled with huge spider webs covering the entire hall.

“God that stuff is bad even for the most experienced of dentists. Don’t tell me the spiders have come to get their teeth check out as well.” He says to himself.

Walking forward, George sees the path to his left is covered in debris and is unable to go there. Looking towards the spider webs in front of him, a couple of huge tarantulas crawl from behind the webs. Pulling out his magnum, he shoots two rounds at one of the spiders. The spider dies pouring out the disgusting rancid green blood.

The second spider tries to spit at him with a poisonous substance, but he’s able to dodge the spit. After diving out of the way, the spider tackles him before he can get up.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

Hitting the floor again, he is unable to get up as the spider ends up on top of him. He drops his magnum and is unable to recover it. Attempting to punch the spider, he fails miserably and the spider attempts to bite his neck.

The same loud boom is heard again twice and he can see two gunshot wounds land on the spider weakening it. With the spider off him that gives him an opportunity to grab his magnum. He shoots it in the mouth and kills it. After he kills the spider, he looks behind to see who saved him. There is nobody there. Walking back, he can see more Desert Eagle shell casings on the floor.

Magnum Rounds: 9

“That woman was here and she saved me again. What I don’t understand is why does she run away from me? Could it be that she’s an employee of Hybrid turned rogue? I gotta find that woman and find out. She might actually be of help to me and get me off that janitor’s uniform for good.” He says.

He forgets about the mystery woman and walks through the spider webs into the rest of the hallway. Walking down the hall, he thinks whether he should use the super herb or wait as he knows healing items are at a premium despite his location.

Deciding not to use his last healing item, he continues to walk until he gets to the next stairway door. Entering the fourth floor lobby that houses the pharmacy, he sees the door to the stairway. The stairway door slams open and a couple of lizardas pop out.

The lizardas begin to attack him and he’s able to dodge the initial slash attacks. Running around, he shoots the creature with 3 shots. He misses all of his shots due to the agility of the creatures.

Magnum Rounds: 6

He tries to reload and is successful in doing so. After reloading though, he’s struck by one of the creatures. After being attacked, he shoots both lizardas dead as he nearly runs out of bullets for his magnum.

Condition: Danger

Magnum Rounds: 2

George uses the Super Herb. Condition: Fine

As much as he wanted to save the herb, he knows that he needs to be in good health in case Mr. Z shows up again. George goes down the stairs and reaches the third floor. Remembering the door to the parking lot, he runs to the west side of the 3rd floor hallway.

He bumps into another set of big spider webs. He sees a dead guard’s body and looks for anything useful.

Picked up +6 Magnum Rounds. Magnum Rounds: 8

After picking up the magnum rounds, he sees a spider that is even bigger than the ones he’s seen.

Boss: Black Panther

It’s code named Black Panther and it’s twice as big as the regular web spinners. It gets its size from longer and constant exposure to the Raven Hawk Virus. As a result, its spit can kill anybody instantly if their immune systems are not perfect. It gets it’s name because it’s pure black in color with no other color similar to a panther.

The Black Panther attacks George by slapping him to the wall with its legs. Hitting the wall hard, he takes some damage.

Condition: Caution (Level 1)

Brushing himself as quickly as possible, he shoots three rounds directly at the spider dealing damage to it. The spider spits a huge amount of poison towards him, but he’s able to dodge to his left and avoid it.

Magnum Rounds: 5

Caught reloading his magnum, he is tackled by the spider and slapped again.

Condition: Caution (Level 2)

From the floor he shoots two more rounds at the spider and it backs away from him. However, the gun jams on him again and he has to slam it to the ground in order to unjam it. The spider tries to spit its poison again, but he’s barely able to roll out of the way. The poison is so rancid that it melts the spider webs and causes a horrible pungent smell in the hallway.

“Oh God that smell, it’s horrible!” He shouts.

Once he unjams his gun, he is grabbed by the spider as it attempts to eat him whole. With the gun in his right hand, he fights to free it. After a bit of a struggle, he frees his right hand and realizes he has one shot at the spider. He shoots the spider on its eyes and blinds it. With two more shots, he finishes the spider off and kills it.

Magnum Rounds: 2

He falls on top of the melted spider webs and gets some melted silk on him. He can care less as he’s close to his escape route. Running down the hallway, he realizes that he needs to get out as fast as possible as he has no more healing items. Walking towards the door to the parking lot, he sees zombies popping to his left and right.

With his pistol, he begins to shoot the zombies. Out of the 8 that pop out, he kills four right away.

Pistol Ammo: 38

The other four zombies rush towards him and he’s forced to back away while shooting. He kills two more of them as he’s running.

Pistol Ammo: 30

While reloading, the last two run towards him and grab him. He’s able to push one away while the other one take a bite at him before he pushes it away.

Condition: Danger

With his magnum, he lands head shots on both zombies. He breathes a sign of relief as he barely survives the horde. Running to the door, he sees more zombies eating away at a dead doctor. He wisely ignores them and inserts both the red and blue keycards into the keycard reader. The lock on the door releases and he heads down the stairs to the parking lot.

Magnum Rounds: 0

Looking behind him, he sees Mr. Z punching the zombies in its way and making a bee-line towards him. His phone rings and he picks up.

“George baby, are you here?” Elaine asks.

“Yes, I’m on my way now. As soon as I get there you floor it!” George shouts running out of breath.

“Ok hun!” She answers.

Mr. Z continues to chase him as he goes down the stairs. After two more flights of stairs, he makes it to the parking lot. At first he doesn’t see Elaine’s car, but after a minute the car arrives.

When Elaine arrives, Mr. Z breaks through the wall and gives chase to the two. George hops into Elaine’s car, which is a red 2007 Nissan Maxima. Elaine is wearing a red blouse with khaki pants and white sneakers. She is a brunette as well and despite her age, she looks young.

“Oh I’m glad you made it! Let’s get out of here!” George says.

When Elaine tries to floor the car, it doesn’t move.

“I can’t move! What’s going on?” Elaine asks.

“Oh crud! That monster is holding the car. Crap I’m going to have to fight it!” George replies.

He jumps out of the car and begins to shoot Mr. Z while Elaine lets go of the gas. The pistol bullets George shoots do little to stop the superhuman and it continues to move towards him. As he tries to reload his pistol, Mr. Z grabs him by the throat and begins to choke him.

“No, George! I’m not letting you die!” Elaine shouts.

She jumps out of the car and bravely jumps on the back of Mr. Z. The monster pushes her away like a ragdoll as it keeps its focus on George. The chokehold causes George to lose consciousness and Mr. Z drops him to the ground. It focuses its attention towards Elaine.

“No… No please don’t kill me! I don’t know who or what you are, but please have mercy on me.” She says, but Mr. Z pays her no mind.

“I guess this is how my life ends…” She says weakly bracing for her death.

Mr. Z grabs her and prepares to choke her until three shots are fired at its head. George gets up slowly to see Mr. Z being shot at until it falls to the floor knee first. Turning back, he sees the person shooting is holding the same Desert Eagle magnum. However, the person is wearing a motorcycle suit and helmet. The helmet doesn’t completely cover her brown hair giving him some way to remember her by.

“I told you to get out of here! Do it for your own good, you have no idea what you just got yourself into!” The mysterious female says.

He recognizes the voice as the same one he’s been hearing all this time.

“Hey wait, who are you?” He screams.

He gets no answer as the woman hops on her motorcycle and rides off into the night. Before she rides off, she leaves a note on the ground.

“You’re wondering who I am? For now that will remain a mystery, but don’t worry I shall reveal myself in time. You have no idea what you just got yourself into. If I were you I would get out of NYC for a while. If you want to find me, I’ll be in Westchester County. I live in White Plains to be specific and here is my address.

100 Oakland Ave 

White Plains, NY 10601 

Don’t go after me right away if you don’t want Hybrid to find about your involvement. Give it a few months. Be aware that I know you’re George Fisher. Don’t worry your secret is safe with me. I saved you for a reason, not because I fell in love with you, so don’t even try. Eventually it’s up to you on what you decide to do. I won’t be offended either way.

P.S. – Make sure you take my advice and get the hell out of that hospital and out of NYC. Until we meet again, just don’t try anything funny.”

After reading the note, he finds out the mystery woman was indeed saving him from Mr. Z. However, the devil in the details is still foggy and he is left with more questions than answers. One thing is for sure, he must make a tough decision. What makes it tougher is that he won’t know who she is right away. That will leave a cloud of fog for a long amount of time and he has to consider that things might change in the future.

“This is a tough decision. Do I stay here against the advice of the woman and keep my ‘normal’ life, possibly risking being targeted by Hybrid? Or do I take my chances meeting this woman possibly in a few months not knowing her true intentions? All I know she seems to know who Hybrid is and seems to know who I am. She might be a big ally or a dangerous foe. How convenient of her not to leave her name on her address either, seesh. One thing is for sure, I can’t tell Elaine.” He says in his mind.

“Are you ok George? Who was that person who saved us?” Elaine asks.

“I wish I knew, but sadly I never got to see her face or even know her age for that matter. All I know is that she saved our butts and she has beautiful brown hair. Maybe it’s best if we never found out who she was.” George answers while hiding the note.

“Still I would like to thank her. I hope you’re not trying to get any ideas, if you know what I mean.” Elaine replies.

“Elaine look, I’m sure us escaping to safety is all she wants and why would I hit on anyone I don’t know. There might be a reason why she did not reveal herself. Maybe she will reveal herself, but for now let’s just get out of here. Besides I can use a shot of whiskey and a serious back rub. Besides, I don’t want that monster getting up again before we leave.” He responds.

“I guess you’re right hun.” Elaine answers.

George and Elaine get into the car. Elaine drives the car out of the parking lot and onto Flushing Ave. The woman on the motorcycle is long gone and George instructs Elaine to not even try to look for her. George can’t help but to think about the note that he read. As much as he wants to make a decision on what to do, the decision is too tough for now.

He just wants to get home and relax. Although, he knows he might not be able to live a normal life anymore as he knows Hybrid is up to no good.

After a half hour drive, Elaine drops George off at home and offers to massage his back. When the two enter the house, Elaine massages his back. She can’t stay for too long as she has to get home before her husband gets back from work. Elaine winks her eyes at him leaving George to laugh.

What George doesn’t know is that while he escaped from the hospital, a helicopter with two survivors is picking up two other survivors from the helipad of the hospital. The two survivors in the hospital are no other than Angel and Maria, his favorite students during their years in the Junior High School he works at. George has no idea that he is the unknown “Fifth Survivor” of the first zombie outbreak in New York City. Whether he will ever see Maria and Angel after this life-changing experience is a different matter entirely.

What he does know is that the puzzle of the Hybrid Corporation just became more complex and more dangerous as well. He knows they have no limits to what they will try and who they’re willing to hurt just to achieve world domination. All he can do is lie down and sleep knowing he just survived the first outbreak.

End of Episode 1

Look out for Episode 2 of

The Fifth Survivor

Appendix

The appendix gives you a deeper look into each character, weapon, item, and game concepts. You don’t have to read this part, but it will give you a deeper look into the story and you might learn something new.

Characters –

Main Characters (Allies):

George – He is the main and playable character of “The Fifth Survivor”. George’s day job is working as a janitor in the local Junior High School. However, his real job and his true passion is an investigative journalist for the Cypress Hills Tabloid. He has broken many big cases and exposed many big time criminals in the local area. He is a man of few words when he’s out interviewing people, but his mind speaks a lot. Hybrid is his newest target when he finds out that they want to expand their company to Cypress Hills for reasons unknown. George is usually a nice person who cares about others, but when it comes to his job, his demeanor changes.

While he does get answers from Anthony Clark, he is not satisfied with the answers and feels Hybrid is hiding a huge secret. He decides to begin his own secret probe operation. Not even the president of the tabloid knows of his suspicions. In fact, as the story goes on, he begins to suspect that his boss is involved. However, the biggest challenge will prove to be to keep his secret double life a secret. Also, maintaining the balance between his normal ‘civilian’ life and his secret journalistic life will be a challenge. He goes by the pen name of “The Fish Master” to prevent being exposed. He’s in his lower 50’s, but has quite the spunk still.

Harry – George’s younger brother. He’s around 46 years old and is always worried about his older brother. He is George’s wingman when it comes to his secret probing missions. Harry has knowledge of hacking and is able to hijack security consoles to override or disable them. For the most part, he is supportive of his older brother. There are times though that he tries to point George away from certain actions that could compromise the mission. More often than not though, George ignores his brother and goes on with his plan figuring he needs to be risky in order to complete the mission.

Dave – George’s best friend. Dave is a scientist who is constantly testing the new vaccines and is licensed by New York State as an examiner. He is around the same age as George. He works from his house where he has a lab. George brings him a sample of the Raven Hawk Vaccine so he can test it for any signs of causing mutations. Dave has ‘good’ relations with the president of Woodhull Hospital. However, he notices that the president who is Danny Witwer begins to act suspicious. Dave has seen Hybrid officials go into the hospital many times and with Hybrid’s checkered past, Dave becomes protective against Witwer.

He begins to suspect that Witwer is in cahoots with Hybrid and there is a large money exchange ready to take place between the Hospital and Hybrid. As he begins to put the pieces together and figure out what Raven Hawk really is, he is mysteriously murdered in his house. Nobody knows who murdered Dave, but George figures out that Dave was setup to be killed by his former best friend, Witwer.

Elaine – One of George’s former co-workers when he used to work the local political field. She used to and still has a crush on George. However, her feelings for him have gone away slowly as she’s married. She is a tough woman despite being in her mid 50’s. She drives a new 2018 Nissan Maxima. Elaine picks up George from the hospital and rescues him from the horrors of the hospital.

Main Characters (Enemies):

Anthony Clark – He is the current president of the Hybrid Corporation and currently lives in California where the headquarters is located. Anthony claims that he’s building a sub-substation in Cypress Hills to help out the community. George doesn’t believe that and believes Anthony has more sinister plans. During the interview with Anthony, George isn’t convinced with his answers. Anthony is in his lower 40’s. He took over the company when his father died to the dismay of his brother, Herman Clark.

Some people say this move is a smokescreen for Anthony to move to the Cypress Hills area of New York. His personality is that of your average rich man. He likes to double talk and will try to step around answering certain questions while answering ones he wants to answer with authority. Lots of journalists don’t enjoy interviewing Anthony. It’s safe to say, he might not be a well-liked person, but he is a successful one.

Danny Witwer – Danny is the president of Woodhull Hospital. He is in his mid 40’s and he tends to be a good person to talk to unlike Anthony. He has a good reputation of researching cures for certain illnesses and donating to cancer research for young kids. However his former best friend, Dave is beginning to see a different side of Witwer.

Danny is a sneaky individual who does unethical things under people’s noses. In fact, he was accused of stealing money from the hospital and coercing it into a secret account. Not enough evidence was found to convict him, but he did lose a lot of respect from his peers. The deal between Hybrid and Woodhull hospital is supposed to benefit the future of medical research. Some of his peers believe he’s in it for the money and the research is not going to benefit anybody.

George finds out that Witwer is indeed committing unethical deeds in cahoots with the Hybrid Corporation. In fact, he finds out that Witwer set up the hit on his friend Dave. George also finds out that he is on Witwer’s hit list and Witwer knows his pen name. When it comes to how Witwer found out that remains a mystery.

Other Characters:

Maria – She is a former student from the Junior High School where George works his day job. George takes a liking to her and views her as a daughter that he never had. She treats George as a friend but nothing more. He doesn’t mind as he wants to make sure she is in good hands. Even if it means he has to do his magic from behind the scenes.

Barry – He is the lieutenant of the 75th precinct. Barry meets George in the school as he’s supposed to give a presentation to the 8th grade class. Barry doesn’t really give any vibes to George until he sees the news report about the Clark Family Mansion explosion. Barry walks away quickly, but it could simply be him trying to get to the classroom in time.

Barry sports a dark pair of sunglasses and has blond hair. He is around 40 although he does have a babyface causing people to think he is far younger. George becomes suspicious of Barry when he begins to read documents saying a person called “Mr. B” assassinating Dave and others. Could Mr. B be code for Barry?

Mystery Girl – There is a mystery girl who is presumably trying to escape the hospital when it becomes infested with zombies. George believes that the missing girl is Maria from school. However, he never gets close enough to rescue her from Mr. Z. He is convinced by the voice that Maria is in the hospital. As he gets closer to escaping though, he doesn’t hear her anymore. Either she escapes or his fear, she has perished in the hospital.

Mystery Woman – While she could easily be labeled as an ally, not enough is known about her true intentions. There is yet another mystery person in the hospital. When George faces Mr. Z and it threatens to kill him, a mystery woman shoots and takes down the monster. George is unable to find out who it is and all he knows is that she is carrying a .50 Caliber Desert Eagle Action Express magnum. The only physical feature that he can see is that the woman has long straight hair. All she says to him is to get out of the hospital right away.

When he escapes from the hospital, the mystery woman saves him again and actually leaves a note while riding off in a stunt motorcycle. It indicates that he should get out of New York City and meet her in White Plains. At this point, it is unknown where her allegiance lies or if she even has one. She can end up being his best friend or his worst enemy. He is concerned that he doesn’t know her but she already knows who he is. She’s either someone from his past or a spy for Hybrid.

Police Officer – In the hospital, George meets a police officer who saves him from a couple of zombies. The officer was called to the hospital when it became infected with zombies. Being the only one that George spots, it’s plausible that he’s the only survivor in his crew. He carries a .357 Colt Python Magnum that packs quite the punch. He leads George to the front entrance before they are ambushed by a horde of zombies. While George survives, the officer gets eaten alive by the zombies. The officer is in his middle 50’s but is in great shape for his age. After killing the zombies, George acquires the Colt Python from the dead officer.

Bio-Hazard Creatures –

Zombies – What else needs to be said about these guys? They walk around mindlessly around looking for their next meal knowing their lives have been ruined after being exposed to the Raven Hawk Virus. A few of them who had great athletic ability turn into runners and can run after their victims. A few head shots are enough to take them down. They’re not much of a challenge, even for an old fart like George unless they’re in a horde.

Froggers – These are what the name suggest, frogs. Only difference is that these frogs have grown 10 to 20 times larger than their normal counterparts. It seems the Raven Hawk Virus has caused quite the ‘growing problem’. Besides the giant size, these frogs have long tongues they can use to grab their unfortunate victims so they can swallow them whole. Another form of attack is to spit a poisonous substance to poison their victims. Finally they can hop around the area, making them tricky to shoot. If you were afraid of regular frogs you might just die of shock when you meet these guys.

Web Spinners – Sounds like a really dumb name for a biohazard creature, but these giant spiders are anything but your ordinary spider. They are designed by Hybrid to weaken their opponents before killing them off. These guys can spit a rancid poisonous substance to weaken their victims before going for the kill. They can deliver a powerful tackle as well knocking the victim to the floor. They leave behind a nasty surprise even when killed. Green blood is seen whenever one of these spiders are killed and to add the blood smells terrible, we mean really terrible. Sometimes these spiders will create huge spider webs where they create their offspring.

Fun Fact: They were designed by Hybrid to be sent off to war zones to weaken soldiers and clear off those zones to build more headquarters to expand their empire.

Lizardas – Found towards the end of episode 1, these are mutated lizards. Some are iguanas, others are monitor lizards. No matter what they are, they both have one thing in common and that is their deadly claw attacks. Lizardas are also agile and can be tough to shoot. Unlike actual lizards, these can stand on their own two feet making them more dangerous. They bleed out blue blood instead of the green blood the other bioweapons bleed out.

Bosses:

Mr. Z – A superhuman that Hybrid was working on. Rumor has it that it was kept on the 2nd floor of the hospital as no one ever goes there anymore. It’s Hybrid’s idea of the future human, but in reality it’s a freak of nature that wears a red trench jacket developed to chase those who dare challenge Hybrid. It can deliver quite the punch and it’s double axe handle is enough to kill any normal human instantly. Mr. Z can also pick up anything heavy with no effort.

The only weakness if you can call it that is its speed, it is a slow mover. It makes up for that with the amount of punishment it can take before it goes down. Even the magnum won’t take this superhuman down right away. You think it can’t get any worse? Boy are you wrong! Even when this monster goes down, it gets right back up resuming its mission to wreak havoc. It can’t get any worse than a monster that cannot be killed and almost impossible to take down. This is the monster that will continuously give chase to George throughout his experience in the hospital. Could this be the future war machine for Hybrid? That’s because it seems this thing is programmed to kill and it seems focused on its job.

Black Panther – This is a web spinner that apparently had too much in the way of the Raven Hawk Virus. It had so much that it’s become gargantuan in size and takes up a whole entire hallway. It has the same attacks as a regular web spinner, only that the damage it deals out is much greater. Also, the amount of venom it has is deadly to the touch, even a little touch. Even when this giant spider is killed, it leaves behind quite the surprise. Its green blood is so rancid that when it bleeds it out, it causes the people around it to vomit violently due to the smell. This is the only boss in episode 1 that is killed.

Weapons:

Pistol – It’s just your normal pistol that George gets in the basement armory. It’s ok for zombies and it’s better than using your bare hands. However, for the bio-hazard creatures, it’s pretty bad. On the flip side, it’s easy to land headshots due to the low recoil. George should not expect this weapon to carry him throughout the hospital. Each pistol clip has 15 rounds.

Magnum – The second weapons George can get is a .357 Colt Python. It’s a great retro style weapon that deals quite the punch, even against the biohazard creatures. A head shot on the zombie will instantly kill it. The biggest drawback is the ammo or the lack of ammo for it. It can only shoot six rounds before having to reload unlike the Desert Eagle which has a clip size of eight. In otherwords, it’s a powerful weapon but it must be used wisely.

Dart Gun – Used to put human to sleep, useful for stealth missions. Won’t do much against the undead though. So keep that in mind.

DSK Deutsche – It’s an average sub-machine gun that does good damage with burst fire. Now if only George was smart enough to carry this in his briefcase.

UMP 45 – A nice looking machine gun and one that would solve George’s ammo issues. It’s not as strong as the magnum but it makes up for that with its rapid fire. Now this is a weapon that will get out 50 year old hero in style. Only there is one problem…

It’s broken! Yup, the gun does not fire and it has to be fixed. Now there is a way to fix the gun, but it involves going all the way to the basement to fix it. With Mr. Z hot on his trail, it might be worth it to just run instead. Too bad, so sad!

Flame Rounds – These are flame rounds for a grenade launcher, too bad George won’t have a weapon to shoot it. Maybe there’s another use for it?

Health Pickups:

Green Herb – Heals partial health. It can be mixed with a red herb, blue herb, or both.

Blue Herb – Heals poison condition. It can be mixed with a green herb to heal health as well.

Red Herb – Useless by itself but it can be combines with a Green Herb to heal full health. It can be combined with a green and blue herb to create an ultimate herb that heals to full health no matter the condition.

First Aid Spray – Heals up to full health minus poison condition, which must be healed using a blue herb.
