CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Everyone continued to stare at me then Shawn smiled and started quietly clapping.

‘Well done mate,’ he said, grinning. ‘I don’t think anyone could have put it any better. You’ve just described the best way to survive a zombie apocalypse. It is, when you think about it, just common sense after all. But as my old man always said: ‘There’s nothing common about sense!’ My mates and I used to talk about this over many a pint in a pub, but the one major flaw in your plan is the ‘intact castle’ bit. Every castle I’ve ever visited has either been a ruin or it’s got so many holes in its walls, it would be impossible to defend. There’s nowhere suitable for what you want!’

Becky interrupted him smiling, ‘Shawn, do you or any of your friends have children?’

‘No, why?’

‘Where do you live?’

‘Bristol, why?’

‘Have you ever heard of Warwick Castle?’

I smiled as I realised she knew exactly what I was on about.

Shawn frowned. ‘Not really, is it in English Heritage or The National Trust? I think I’ve visited most of their places on my travels, so I may have been there, but it doesn’t spring to mind straight away.’

Chet interrupted now. ‘I know it! When my parents came over to visit last year we went there! Shawn, it’s completely habitable. It’s got proper walls, gates, moats, everything. It even impressed my parents who are a bit snobbish and say that Indian culture outdoes everything else! If it’s still like I remember it, it would be a great place to use. It’s run as a big tourist attraction and is owned by some big group.’

Becky nodded eagerly. ‘That’s right, and it’s in Warwick; hence the name. Tom and I have taken the kids there many times. It really is in remarkable condition given that I believe it was originally built by William the Conqueror. If we could get the gates closed it would be pretty much impregnable to zombies. The accommodation area’s huge and in good condition. Great idea Tom darling!’

She turned to Shawn who was looking a little crestfallen. ‘Shawn, don’t worry, if you haven’t got kids or you’re a tourist you probably won’t have visited the place.’

We all sat in silence for a while, lost in our own thoughts.

Shawn spoke first, ‘I think, unless we can think of somewhere closer, it’s a great plan.’ He pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked it then sighed because it still wasn’t working. He shoved it back into his pocket. ‘This would be a great time for a bit of googling. I bet within half an hour we’d have all the information we needed to make the right decisions. Can we think of anywhere similar to Warwick Castle? It’s a great idea, but there might be somewhere even better….I tell you what, let’s get the map out. It might remind us of somewhere we’ve been.’

He spread his O.S. map out and Andy got his UK road map from his car and
