Chapter 2 : Getting ready.

Jack sat on the bed staring blankly at the zombie. Thoughts were running wildly around in his head.
'How the hell had this happened? He had seriously just killed a zombie! A freaking ZOMBIE! What the hell is going on! When did this happen! And when the hell had zombies suddenly become real!' Then a frightening thought hit him and he rushed to the window. He stared with wide eyes at the destruction outside. They were everywhere! The courtyard was brimming with the undead. The front gate was wide open and zombies were shambling around it. He could recognize several zombies as people of the staff and several of the guards. He was still staring with wide eyes at the hordes of zombies when he noticed movement at the corner of the courtyard. He turned his eyes there and looked. Two persons that were not zombies were crawling out of a window onto the roof of another building.

One of them, a male, were out but the last person ,a female, started struggling against something in the window. Jack could only hopelessly watch as she was pulled inside by zombies. he could vaguely hear her start to scream trough the window glass. The male tried to pull her out again but he also was pulled inside. Jack averted his eyes away and blinked his tears away. It would not do to start crying every time he saw someone die as he would probably see much much more death. He could not break down crying every time as it would probably kill him. He looked out at the courtyard again. He looked at the zombies that were stumbling around in the yard. He frowned at them. There were a lot of faces he didn't recognize. Maybe quests at..at.. the.. party.. His brain crashed together at that thought. His eyes widened and one frantic thought hit his mind.

'WHERE IS MY SISTER!' He immediately started scanning the zombies outside with wide fearful eyes. His tense shoulders relaxed a tiny bit when he didn't see a familiar blond head anywhere. He swirled around and looked nervously at the door. He may not like his sister very much but she was his sister after all. And besides maybe she wouldn't be so mean and rude towards him after all this had happened. He squared his shoulders and decided. He would help his sister! If she was alive of course. His shoulders sagged a bit at that thought. He shook his head. She would be alive! But first he needed a weapon and stuff like that. He walked over to his big bookcase filled with finished (and working) inventions. He scanned the shelves for something useful.

'Hmm. I don't think I need this.. definitely not this. Well this is useless... Not this either... Did I really build this one?..What the hell is that?.... Oh this I can use!' He triumphantly picked up a small robot an an monitor the size of his palm. The robot was a tiny thing shaped like a bee. It had a small camera in it that was wirelessly connected to the small monitor. He could use it to see around corners and behind doors. More importantly his door. He did not want to open his door if there were hordes of zombies behind it! He carefully put the robot and monitor on a nearby table. Then he started scanning the shelf again. The robot was great and all but he needed an weapon!

He was just scanning trough a load of junk when his eyes caught something that would maybe work as a weapon. He picked it up and eyed it critically. It was a pair of laser guns that he had invented when he had been bored. They were gray and looked a bit like a real gun. But these unlike real guns shoot out red lasers. Jack had of course modified them so that they wouldn't blast trough flesh only materials. He had definitely not wanted any accidents. He definitely had to modify it now! He picked up his tools and started working.

Half an hour later
Jack wiped the sweat off his brow and looked proudly at his new masterpiece. The guns had now three different sorts of lasers. The lasers were Red, blue and gray. The red laser was for zombies. The blue was for humans and animals. (Not zombie animals thought. Then you had to use the red one) The gray was for materials. You could change the laser by  pressing in buttons on a bracelet he was wearing on his wrist. The buttons were each marked with an different letter. Z, H and M.

Before the laser guns had only been charged with batteries. But now it was charged with sunlight. Jack had build in solar cells in the guns as he didn't think it was very good if the batteries suddenly ran out when he was mobbed by a hoard of zombies and didn't have the time to change the batteries. Of course they didn't run only on sunlight as they would be totally dead if it was cloudy for long. The guns had three energy sources. Normal electricity, batteries, and as said before, the sun. The batteries were only there as an last resort. The gun would first draw upon the solar sells, then the electricity, and last the batteries. As they were the hardest to get. He sat the guns down on the window board. Directly in a sunbeam.

He also put in the socket into an outlet and put a pair of batteries in it. Then he scanned the room for anything more that he could use and accidentally caught sight of himself in the mirror. And what a sight it was! His pure white hair were a mess and was flying all over the place. His red eyes were wide and looked quite frazzled. His pale white skin were looking more gray than white. And his gray pajamas were splattered with zombie blood! He stared disgustedly down at it. How the hell had he not noticed that! He immediately threw off his pajama and started looking trough his clothes for good clothes. He had to wear something that would be useful... He picked out a black t-shirt. A black polo shirt, A pair of black jeans, a pair of thick white socks and a new pair of underwear. He also put on a long , also black, leather jacket. He changed into his new clothes and brushed trough his hair.

He also pulled on a pair of thick black leather boots that went up to his knee. If the zombies tried to bite his ankles they wouldn't be able to at least. He put his hair up into a ponytail again and pulled on a black hat to cover his white hair. It wouldn't do to have it gather the zombies attention. If they could see of course and not just smelled their way. But now that he thought about it. Most of the zombies probably smelled very bad. So they probably didn't smell. See maybe? Hmm. Jack got an idea. He went around the room and picked up a brightly colored piece of material. Then an heavy piece of junk metal. He went over to his window and silently opened it just a crack. He put his arm trough the window and dropped the brightly colored material to the ground. He watched as it descended and the zombies that were around it. They didn't take any notice of it and just continued to stumble around the yard.

'Hmm.. so they can't see.' Then he grabbed the piece of junk metal and silently threw it as far as he could. It landed with an huge bang and the zombies immediately started crowding around it.
'So they can hear but not see. I can probably use this to my advantage.' But anyway. He closed the window silently and turned back to the room. He continued searching for something to use. He spotted his helipack in the corner of the room. He quickly walked to it and picked it up. This would probably be useful. Well it's always useful to be able to fly really. He put it on and activated it on test but quickly shut it off when it made a huge noise. He took it off and stared thoughtfully at it. Well that totally wouldn't do. He would have to fix that.

Half an hour later.
Jack sighted tiredly and put the helipack down. It was now noiseless and also had tree energy sources like the guns. It was also lighter and could carry more weight. He started charging it by putting it in the sun,  putting it's socket in an outlet, and putting in the batteries. He stretched and yawned. He looked around the room. He picked up a messenger bag and filled it with necessary stuff. Like batteries, spare clothes, food that he had in his mini fridge, bandages, band aids and his tools.
He threw the bag over his shoulder and then he walked over to the guns and helipack and looked at the energy levels. The were fully charged. He jerked the sockets out of the outlets and then pulled the cords out of the helipack and guns. As he thought the cords would probably just get in the way he had made the so that the could pull out and put in the cords. Then he put the loose cords in the messenger bag. He picked up the helipack and swung it over his shoulders. Then he picked up the guns and put them inside his belt. He faced the door and thought determinately.
'I'm ready. I'm coming Mich!'
