Desperate times

"Desperate Times" is the fourth of five scenarios in Resident Evil: Outbreak - File. It takes place at the Raccoon City Police Department between September 27th and 28th 1998.

Plot
After a large group of Zombies surround the police station, Kevin Ryman takes refuge inside. Meanwhile, four of the remaining officers; stranded from their colleagues, make their own plan to escape by using a network of vents from the building's old Art Museum days. Marvin tells Rita that; as she is the only member of the team who can fit through the vents, she must use them to escape the station and seek out help.

The survivors collect a number of jeweled plates that; when all fit into a stand near the grand statue, will reveal the access way. Rita uses the vent to leave the station, but does not get back in contact with Marvin until later that night. During this time, two of the officers are killed by the undead while protecting the emergency staircase and rooftop, and a third is mauled by infected Dobermans. Marvin is infected by a Zombie bite after being attacked outside while waiting for Rita.

Rita finally arrives in a S.W.A.T. van driven by fellow officer Harry just in time, knocking over a Zombie in the process. The undead have finally breached the front gate perimeter and are advancing to the station. The civilians climb into the Van as a Zombie follows them. An injured Marvin kills it with a shot to the head and orders Harry away.

This part only exists if the player uses Kevin Ryman:
 * Kevin comforts a crying Rita, telling her that Marvin has not died yet, and is yet to train the new police recruit.

Back at the station, an injured Marvin, having killed the attacking zombies, walks into the west office. He states that he is "not dead yet."
