Jensen Ackles – Resident Evil

Raccoon City seemed quieter than Jensen expected.

He'd spent much of the drive looking out the car window, following the streets he was just beginning to recognize. It was his first day as an officer with the Raccoon Police Department, and although he'd tried to prepare himself for the city and the job, there was something strange in the air.

Little traffic. Some businesses closed. Too quiet for a city of that size.

Jensen adjusted his hands slightly on the steering wheel as he continued toward the city center. The new uniform still felt strange on him, too pristine for someone who hadn't yet had a chance to get used to wearing it.

His radio remained on, though communications were sporadic. Occasionally, incomplete messages, confusing reports, and references to incidents that didn't seem to make much sense would come through.

Jensen frowned.

Perhaps he had simply chosen a bad day to arrive.

In the distance, the lights of Raccoon City began to appear among the buildings.

Jensen slowed down as he approached an intersection and looked at the streets for a few seconds before continuing.

I didn't yet know that this would be the last night that Raccoon City would look like a normal city.
