Jack silently continued
through to the hallway and was just turning to try upstairs, having heard the
sounds of feet pounding up them when a rather large kid shaped cannonball
careened into him, knocking him into the rails. Cupcake looked proud of herself
as she stood guard over Jack, allowing Monty, who had been hiding halfway up
the stairs, to race past the downed Guardian as he rubbed his head and picked
himself up. She didn’t, however, expect zombie Pippa to jump her and beep her
on the nose.
“Brains.” Pippa nodded
to Jack as Cupcake stared at the girl in shock, before Jack’s first convertee
shot off in the direction Monty had gone.
“Brains?” Cupcake asked
Jack, confusion obvious for a moment as she tried to reconcile what had
happened with what she knew.
“Brains.” Jack agreed,
grinning in reply.
“Brains.” Cupcake
nodded, getting it and gesturing towards the study.
“Braaaaains.” Jack
drawled, thoroughly enjoying himself as he entered the study, listening for
signs and becoming amused by the soft squeak of one of the two boys whose names
he still couldn’t remember no matter how much he hung around the group of
friends. Noting that Cupcake had followed him into the room, he started looking
for the source of the squeak.
They were halfway
around the room before the boy shot out of his hiding place behind the door and
bolted out into the corridor, causing Jack and Cupcake to look at each other
before they took off after him, darting down the corridor and out into the
backyard where Jamie was leading the resistance against the zombie invasion.
