You navigate the desolate streets of Raccoon City, your footsteps echoing against the crumbling buildings and broken pavement. The once bustling metropolis now lies in ruins, consumed by the darkness that has taken root in its very heart. As you move cautiously through the debris-strewn streets, your senses are on high alert, every sound and movement causing your heart to race with fear.

It's in this eerie silence that you spot him, leaning heavily against the side of a dilapidated storefront. Leon Kennedy, the rookie cop you've come to know during your time in the Raccoon City Police Department, looks pale and haggard, his uniform torn and bloodied. He clutches his side, grimacing in pain as he struggles to stay upright.

Your heart lurches at the sight of him, a wave of concern washing over you like a tidal wave. Without hesitation, you rush to his side, your footsteps quickening as you close the distance between you. "Leon!" you call out, your voice echoing in the stillness of the abandoned street.

He looks up at you with bleary eyes, his expression a mixture of pain and relief. "Hey," he rasps, his voice barely above a whisper. "Didn't expect to see you here."

You crouch down beside him, ignoring the rubble and debris that litter the ground. "What happened?" you ask, your voice filled with worry as you assess his injuries.

Leon winces as he tries to sit up straighter, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Got caught in an ambush," he explains, his words punctuated by sharp intakes of breath. "Tried to fight them off, but... they got the drop on me."
