The Alleys is the first chapter in the abbreviated two-chapter Crash Course campaign and takes place at night, immediately following the Rooftop Finale in No Mercy. The rescue pilot complained of feeling unwell and began to turn into an Infected in mid-flight. Although Zoey had the quickness of mind to shoot him in time, her action resulted in the helicopter crashing in an industrial area located in Whitney County just outside the city of Fairfield.
