Claire heard the rumble of heavy vehicles and ducked into an alley, wary of the shadows but suddenly terrified at the idea of being found. She watched the military vehicles rumble by, hiding as marines walked past. What the hell was going on?

As soon as the entourage had passed, she slowly emerged from the alley, a frown on her full lips. Something seriously messed up was going down, and she didn't want to be part of it. She turned and began to walk back to where her motorcycle was, turning the corner... and saw her route of escape blocked.

"What in God's name is...."

She was stopped by a groaning sound coming out of the alley, and was suddenly reminded of the warm trickle of blood seeping down her leg. She backed away from the alley, her heart beginning to pound. She turned around and realized what the huge building before her was- the hospital. Maybe she could find out information there, get her leg fixed up, and find some way out.
