Woodgrove Police Station…

August 22. 1996. 2:45 am…

Rookie Officer Jake Roosevelt…

…Car tires screeching in the distance, followed by monstrous roars and disturbing screams… 

Jake was just minding his own business sitting at the main desk not worried about the nights activities till the sound of screeching tires and screams that would make anyone blanch and run the opposite direction forced him to walk to the main door open it walkout and see a chevy screaming down the road towards him followed by the sight of what looked like a man tall enough that he could see his massive upper torso over the back of the truck. Jake had to rub his eyes and check again to make sure he was seeing that correctly once he was certain he was seeing that he noticed that the truck wasn't slowing down, in fact it had sped up and so had the monster of a man behind them and the man in the front seat was screaming something at him he thought he couldn't read lips very well but it definitely was something along the lines of, 'get back in the station you dipshit!' Or at least that's what Jake's confused and terrified mind told him so he did what any reasonably sane person would do, he ripped the door open ran inside across the lobby and behind the main desk and rang up his captain and told him that he needed to get down to the lobby now and that it was urgent.

"It damn well better be urgent Rookie cause if it's some lady needing help with getting her cat outta tree I'm going to make you clean the damn latrines!" As his captain hangs up Jake looks up in time to hear the front gates break open and the front of a chevy truck slam through the front doors and get stuck. Jake had dropped down behind the desk with his pistol drawn and shaking violently. He slowly peaked his head around the corner to see what happened, the front window gets kicked out by a 6ft something guy wearing a classic FBI business suit with an mp5 submachine gun,  followed by a woman in blue jeans, a tank top and a leather jacket with a shotgun slung over her shoulder.  He jumps out aiming his m9 at them still shaking.

 

Andrea and Frank's perspectives…

'We had just gotten out of the truck after slamming through the front doors of the police station and now some idiot newbie is aiming a gun at us.' Frank thought before letting the mp5 lay limply at his waist. Looking around at the station, it was simple inside besides the massive set of double doors and with the whole front section being a massive glass window with steel reinforcements. Doors to the left leading to more office spaces and an open door to the right leading to the stairs going up and down. 

Andreas thoughts were similar to her brothers 'Great who's this newbie? Haven't seen him here before. He's kinda cute sitting there shaking like a leaf even if he's aiming a gun at us.' As she thinks this she tries to hide the grin breaking out across her face but Frank sees this face and his sister and knows all too well what it means, 'rest in peace new guy she's gonna eat you alive.' He then proceeds to do the motion of crossing himself and bowing his head a little, Causing Jake to stutter, step back and shake more. Andrea speaks first "where's the captain? I'm assuming you called him before we crashed through your front doors." She says with a snicker making Frank grimace at the state his new truck is in and sure that it'll look far worse soon enough.

'There goes my next couple paychecks ugh' he thinks to himself. Jake manages to stutter out "..I…I did… h.he should be coming now. Now who are you two?"  "Well my brooding brother there is special agent Frank Greyfield and I'm Andrea Greyfield nothing special about me well not in the title sense." Andrea says with a wink making Frank facepalm and Jake's face change shades of color faster than a bullet shot from a sniper.

"God damn it Frank!! Can't you use the door like a normal fucking human being? We don't have stacks of cash lying around to use whenever you come to town."  Captain Andrews says as he comes out of the stairwell and sees the truck smashed through the front doors. "Where's the alpha team Hank? We need them here and I mean now!" Frank says to the man not bothering with using his rank at all. "God damn it Frank you show up outta nowhere and drive a car through my station doors and now you want my alpha team, well sorry Mr. Special agent but they're not here; they've been sent out to the old Mills cottage. Why…"

Hank doesn't get the chance to finish his statement before a piece of the fence outside hurdles through the window and pins him to the back of the station, skewering him through his head. "HOLY SHIT!" Jake yells out before getting tackled out of the way of another piece of the fence. Andrea spins off of him pulling her shotgun out and leveling it with the massive figure outside the building, "where's the emergency lockdown for this place?" Frank asks as he peppers the massive giant with a mag of ammo. Jake crawls behind the desk and slams his hand on the underside of the desk where there is a hidden button for locking the station down incase of emergencies like a riot. After slamming the button they watch as the front of the building is sealed up by massive doors of steel at least 4inches thick slamming down, one nearly bisecting Frank's chevy in two. "Well that takes care of that for now but we should probably see what you have in the armory. And maybe find out if we can get a hold of anyone outside of the city or inside that's not currently trying to tear us apart or over 7ft tall." Frank says to Jake "yea that's probably a good idea." Andrea looks at him "what's your name by the way? I've never seen you here before so I'm assuming you're new?" "My name's Jake. Jake Roosevelt. And yes I just transferred here." He said as he shook Andreas hand. 

…20 minutes later…

Jake's perspective…

As he stares at his superior officer still hanging from the wall he can't help but pray that he doesn't join him too soon before feeling a hand on his shoulder. He turns around facing the twins Andrea and Frank, now kitted out with special operations vests Frank is still wearing his dark blue suit pants and white shirt but now also has a S.O.D. vest on with a shoulder holster holding his glock 9m and a drop leg holster with a 45 1911 with an extended mag, his vest holds 6 mags of mpg with 12. 12 gauge slugs in special made slots in his vest, his mp5 is slung across his shoulder and he carries a 12 gauge shotgun. Andrea now sports a S.O.D. vest with a drop leg holster with a 1911 with an extended mag, her vest holds 2 mp5 mags a dozen 12 gauge rounds and 4 mags for a m16 that she has strapped across her back and holds her shotgun now equipped with a flashlight. "It's time you get suited up to Jake if you want to survive you need to be ready to get in the dirt." He nods his head to her before heading down to the armory looking around as he takes in the weapons and ammo plus the vests and gear. Reaching out he grabs a vest and straps it in place before pulling out a drop leg holster and putting it on leaving his m9 on his belt holster and grabbing a colt 45 and sliding it into his right leg holster, then he scans the rifles he knows how to use them all but he was best with an m14 and a mares leg shotgun which he saw in its own custom leg holster that he took and strapped on loading the gun before sliding it into its holster plus loading a dozen rounds onto a bandolier, then putting 3 mags for the m14 in his vest slots plus a mag for a m16 and a mp5, the last one he saved for a flashbang grenade that he slid into his vest.

Before walking out of the armory and up stairs to the twins. But as he walks out of the armory someone yells out of the cells to him, "Oi let me out here mate I didn't do nothing wrong just a lil squabble with a few cheeky blokes is all." Jake looks at him "Yea I'm sure that's it huh. you realize I know who you are right? Sedric Teran wanted arms dealer and criminal in several countries."  As Jake says this Sedric walks into the light, he's an average looking guy with the usual features that is associated with Australians, blonde hair with a short beard with a cheery grin and blue eyes, he's also quite fit and has enough training in hand to hand that you'd be insane to out right get close to him. "Look mate I heard whatever happened up there, bloody walls shook down here. Let me out and I'll give ya an arm to throw at whatever needs throwin. Whatcha say?" He asks Jake, putting his hand through the bars, "I say I'll have to ask the fed upstairs what he thinks." As He turns around he hears Andrea and Frank coming down the stairs, he sees Frank's eyes lock onto Sedric `Well I'll be Sedric 'bloody' Teran. Now how did you get caught by woodgroves finest?". "He says he wants to help and says he heard and felt whatever happened up there." Jake tells him as he turns back to the man in his cage who was sitting there chuckling. "Does he? Well sedric your actually in luck cause right now we are about as fucked as can be. And your friends in Noir are to blame so if you can tell us how to get into their little secret base here we'll set you free when we get out of here alive, maybe even give you a job." As Frank says that sedrics face gives away his surprise at hearing Noir's name being brought up and this fed knowing that he can get into the lab here. "Well I'll be mate, didn't expect to be called out for working with a pharmaceutical type. It's not like I condone what the wankers do, mind. Its just business." the aussie said as he walks to the back of his cell. Frank looks at him, "give me a minute and maybe you and I can do some business." He says as he pulls out his phone and dials up his superiors, after he explains to his superiors he tells them about the Sedric, "we are aware of the situation Frank and I'm sorry to tell you that at 0900 the city of woodgrove will no longer be a part of the United States. Get out of there Frank 20 miles north there will be a chopper waiting if you aren't there at that time you will be presumed dead. Do you understand?" The director asks "yes sir I do. I will be bringing any survivors that I find with me. And will be at the rendezvous point at the designated time.". "Godspeed Frank." Is heard before the phone goes silent.  "Hey mate if you need to be heading north I could get ya there, Noirs got bolt holes all over and there's one to the north in the mountains. You grant me my freedom I'll have us clear' this place before your country turns it to a crater." 

Frank doesn't think about it more than a second before looking at his sister and Jake and nodding his head. Jake tosses Frank the keys to the cell. "Damn mate, feels good to be outta that cramped hole. And got a bone to pick myself with those Noir blokes after all they're the ones who got me locked up. But we can talk more about that on the way. From what I overheard what ya told your superior imma want me a gun or 2.". 

As they lead Sedric into the armory he looks around and then turns to Jake, "don't suppose ya know where they put evidence mate?" Jake tilts his head thinking for a moment, "I might, I think. Why?" He asks the aussie. "Cause I think I've got something perfect for the big wanker out front. That's if it wasn't taken by Noirs mongrels in suits. M79 grenade launcher with a bandolier carrying 20 grenades." Sedric tells him. "There's a list in the front desk somewhere, might have it in there but otherwise a weapon like that should have been in here." Jake tells him.

"Well bullocks. Let's get me kitted out and then we can see if they kept the beauty." Sedric says as he puts on a obviously Australian style vest that had been unceremoniously tossed in a locker with a kukri blade on the shoulder a double drop leg holster with a 44 magnum revolver custom with an eight shot cylinder on his left and a beretta m9 with an under barrel laser sight, then he picks up a mp5 and 5 mags for it and walks to the door where Frank, Andrea and Jake stand waiting for him. "Well let's get moving lady and gents. I'd rather not be turned into a smoldering crater. And we've gotta find the damn door in here that leads down to the lab, and the sap who has the…" 

Groaning metal followed by the crash and breaking of metal upstairs

Frank turns and looks at him "I think we may need to find that door now cause the big guy might have just broken through the emergency lockdown." As He says this they all hear the screams and moans of what was once people coming from above them while the sound of someone running in the basement. "Crickey I'd say our cheeky Noir bloke is in the basement and heading for out exit. Let's go!" He says as he waves them towards the stairs. Frank and Andrea both have their shotguns focused on the stairs up as they move. As they reach the stairwell they see a clawed hand wrap around the edge of the wall on the landing followed by what may have been a human once but now the only thing that remains of the human is the torn remains of the clothes and its left brown eye, it's arms have been changed elongated and armored with reddish scales flesh and tipped with hands that are more like Freddy Krueger's claws on steroids. Andrea and Frank each put a slug into its head leaving a headless corpse standing there and walking towards them. "OK mates imma ask bloody hell is that thing still walking without a bleedin' head?" Sedric asks staring at it with a mix of awe and terror. "Do we look like we deal with this on the day to day?" Andrea asks before putting another slug through its chest knocking it to the ground. But it's body just rolls back to its feet pulling itself up into a standing position as it starts to grow a new head; only this one has only one eye and its mouth takes up the entirety of the rest of the face causing the twins to freeze up staring at it in open mouthed horror.
