The sun had only risen fully half an hour ago, its sunny rays doing little to detract from the snow that blanketed the area within and surrounding Silvanos City and the snow in turn did little to detract from its desolation, but the weather was the last thing on Gerrard’s mind as he drove away, not once looking back. It was strange circumstances that had originally found Gerrard Harris in America and it was now more strangeness that found him in the middle of the zombie crisis and to be honest, Gerrard was dealing with it all rather well, in that he wasn’t really dealing with it.
It probably helped that outside of the city there was little to no sign of the crisis, the mostly undisturbed snow blanket offering peace to his troubled mind. Immediately, Gerrard’s eyes zoned in on the area of snow that had been disturbed, his eyes wide as he noticed a sluggish walk imprinted in the snow, heading into a forest. Gerrard looked through his window at the forest, slowing his van but not stopping it, astounded to find a driveway nestled in between the trees. The radio message abruptly started again, but Gerrard took it in as background noise, as the message had played many times over now and he knew it by heart now, indicating his right turn by habit and turning into the driveway to discover that the forest wasn’t a forest at all, but a means to hide the huge driveway and mansion hidden within.
It was with wary eyes that Gerrard scanned the building, frowning at the dead gardens and the derelict look of the place, thinking that if this was someone’s idea of a safe haven, they must be desperate, though he gave silent credit to the giant double doors that looked incredibly sturdy. Driving quickly up the gravelled road to park beside the black Chevrolet already there, though Gerrard couldn’t have begun to guess the make, he switched his engine off, stepping out of his vehicle quickly, moving rapidly to approach the house, wary and ever conscious of the Infected, electronically locking his van as he tried to slide open the door.
The door didn't budge open, making Gerrard frown with frustration - what kind of person sent out a distress call and then locked the door to the place that offered safety. Granted, an electronically locked door granted safety, but only if one could get inside. Slowly, Gerrard raised his fist and banged it against the door three times. "Hello, is anyone there? I got your transmission."
