Chapter 1 - Chapter One

John Grimm cautiously moved through the knee-high water in the maintenance tunnels in hopes to avoid the hostiles above him to arrive at the Delta Labs quicker and in one piece. He's been down in the dark tunnels for thirty minutes, and now as he aimed his machine gun at shoulder height, he breathed out of his mouth to lessen the stench coming from the area. Most of the awful smell was coming from the dirty water, while the rest came from a familiar scent of rotting corpses - he'd never get used to that smell.

These people came down here to hide or escape, but to only be hunted down and ripped apart by those monsters instead. He suddenly had a pang of guilt for being this lucky in surviving this long. He carefully walked passed what was left of some of the bodies of scientists and civilian workers in the water; expecting to be attacked like them. He was on edge...being alone since he arrived at the facility, the dark...he wasn't used to this.

He heard a frightening sound behind him, and whirled around. He aimed his flashlight, his eyes wide, and saw nothing but shadows.

“Fuck...” he whispered.

John turned and continued down the tunnel and noticed a locked door at the end. He quickly headed through the water, ignoring the swishing sounds he made. He found a PDA laying on a barrel by the door, and downloaded the information onto his to get security clearance. He pressed the pad on the door, smirked when the red turned green but the smile faded when the door opened. An ugly Imp stood in his way. Startled, he stepped back defensively.

“Oh shit!” John yelled and aimed his weapon and fired at the creature.
