"What do you have?" asks Yuri as he scans the area for a place to go. Yuri sees a gun shop and kicks the door in.

"Ooh, a gun shop. I was hoping he would end up at one of these."

Says Leon stepping through the doorway.

"I'l go have a look around."

Says Leon as he heads towards the staircase.

" So what do you have," asks Yuri as he puts ammo in his bag and looks at the gun rack. He grabs a red dot sight for his AK and slides it on.

"I'l have th.."

Leon is cut off mid sentance as he wonders up the stairs, disapearing into the dark. A second later several thumps an crashes are heard, a gunshot resounds through the building and a red-skinned zombies falls down the stairs, its head half gone. With a grunt, Leon jumps over the thing's body only a moment before half a dozen more of the crimson heads pile out of the doorway, many more behind them scrabling to get through.

Yuri sees this and breaks a shelf off of one of the gun racks "Duck!"he screams. As Leon slides, Yuri swings taking off a head. He throws the shelf at another and pulls out a kukri and cuts another head off.

Leon fires his shotgun twice in quick concesion, two zombies falling to the ground in a pool of their own black blood. Before he can reload, one of the things tackles Leon, his shotgun knocked across the room. Leon quickly oulls out his barbed knife and repeatedly stabs the crimson head in the neck and pushes its limp body off. He swiftly gets to his feet, but a split second later his right eye twitches as the side of his neck turns a disgusting red and brown colour. One hand on his discoloured neck, Leon swings clumsily at a nearby zombie, knocking it off balance.

Yuri turns and sees Leon is injured. He stabs one through the back and grabs Leons shotgun. He uses it to shoot the last one in the face. He sits Leon down and looks at his neck. " What the hell is going on with you?"

"Don't worry....this ain't my..condition. This appears to be...from the sweeper earlier...damn thing got me in the neck pretty...bad. With poison."

Grunts Leon, sitting against a nearby wall. He raises one of his arms weakly to see the veins on it turn a sickly green colour.

"Damn. That...don't look...good."

As he says this, the veins in one of his eyes go green and the other goes bloodshot.

Yuri looks at Leon with despair on his face. " What do I do for this?"

"..........When I..you...know, die, wait..a minute. When..well, you'll notice, happens....try and... try and get me in...the neck with one of the...vials...in my...bag."

Grunts Leon, closing his eyes.

"And you...better get..this....right Yuri."

Yuri pulls one of the vials out of the bag as Leon dies. The green dissipates as he stops breathing. He counts to sixty and stabs Leon in the neck.

Nothing happens for a minute, no change seeming to take place. Then it happens. Leons eyes twitch open, the veins heavily bloodshot and the pupils small. He quickly bolts up, his arms and neck twitching while the veins and skin turn grey. Twitching strangely, Leon rises up onto his feet quicker that should be possible, and stabs himself with a second vial in the neck, the brown and red colour in his neck fading away to be replaced with pasty grey. With that final action, he slumps back against the wall, eyes half open.

"Leon," says Yuri as he taps him on the shoulder. " Leon, get up." Yuri stands up and pulls Leon to his feet.

"Ah, Yuri, I see that little experiment worked rather well. What the hell?"

He mutters as he looks at his grey skin, slightly red veins and, in the reflection of the window, bloodshot eyes.

"Wonder what did that?"

He mutters absent mindedly, picking up his shotgun and gathering some ammo, Leon heads for the exit, limping slightly.

"Let's get out of here," says Yuri as he climbs a nearby ladder to the roof. He looks around and sees the park." Let's go there," says Yuri as he jumps down to meet Leon.

"Agree'd. To the park. And whatever nasties dwell there."

Says Leon, Reloading his heavy shotgun and walking towards the park.
