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.
