Unforgivable Act

"A flare gun?" Shane's brow furrowed in concern. "Is it a distress signal, or could it be a ploy to draw the undead?"

With a flare gun in his own possession and another entrusted to Mr. Wadsworth, the butler managing the estate's affairs, Shane knew the importance of such a signal.

"I have no idea, Sir Shane… However, it will surely draw the attention of Zombies. If someone needed help, I don't think we can help with that." Gene reported.

"That makes sense… However, since it's quite near, it might be dangerous for us as well. I'll investigate to see what's going on." Shane replied.

"Then I'll make preparations." Gene said as he offered his assistance.

"No… Just stay here and protect the estate. I have pieces of equipment to help me move stealthily. So it's better if I work alone." Shane replied with a confident tone.

Gene could only nod at this, knowing that Shane really had a marvelous set of equipment with him.
