Chapter 10

We hurried downstairs to a room in the east wing. Shafts of light burst through the gaps of broken wood. There was a gaping hole where something had broken in through the window, and rain and wind were gushing inside. Instantly, a bunch of questions entered my mind: Did the zombie break in? Does it really have more brainpower than the others? Maybe somebody let it in…but why? Who would be that heartless, that stupid? If somebody broke in here to steal our supplies, I guess the zombie could have followed. What is going on? No zombie, no zombie body, and… What if Asia was mistaken and only imagined a zombie going for her gun. It could’ve been trying to take a big bite of her arm and caused her to drop it. It was such a mystery, and we were all clueless as to what had really happened. None of it made much sense, and all the unanswered questions did little to calm our nerves.

“We’ve gotta patch that hole ASAP!” a man said, rushing in the room with hammer and nails.

“At least we know how it got in,” said a stick-thin woman.

I shook my head. “Uh-uh. A zombie couldn’t have done this.” It’s just not possible. They can’t even open doorknobs, let alone have the sense to break through our blockade.”

“Yeah,” a tall man with a moustache concurred. “It’s pretty obvious that someone either let it in or it came in after somebody else made the hole. When I find the jerk who did this, I’m gonna rip him in two—or her.”

I looked up to see Jackie and Claire approaching, and I quickly filled them in.

“Maybe it was someone looking for shelter,” Claire said.

Jackie cocked a brow. “Then why wouldn’t they block it up after they came in? I mean, what good is a shelter if you leave a door open. It’d be a freaking dinner invitation.”

Nick met my gaze. “Jackie’s right.”

“Maybe someone was just after our supplies,” Lucas said, confirming my earlier suspicions. “If they just came in to take our stuff, they wouldn’t have cared if they left the hole open or not. They’d just wanna get in, grab all they could, and get out. Maybe a zombie followed them in.”

“Very plausible,” said a man with dark, bushy hair. “A human broke in, was too dumb to cover the hole, and a zombie followed.”

The blonde cocked a brow. “Maybe it was a survivor, running for dear life, who didn’t have time to cover it back up. If a zombie was coming, the last thing you’d be thinking about would be a hammer and nails.”

“I’m inclined to believe that,” the bushy-haired guy said.

Nick’s finger ran over the wood. “One problem with that theory.”

“What’s that?”

“Look at the way the wood is cut.”

Lucas walked over and examined the window. “It looks like someone was trying to break out, not in. The wood is chopped from the inside.”

“Exactly.” Nick peered out the window. “Look! One of our axes is out there in the grass, and I know we brought them all inside.
