"Another beautiful morning...."
I got up from my bed and went out of my room.
Walking to the kitchen, I was planning to greet Perci good morning.
Except, Perci wasn't there.
Wasn't he supposed to cook today?
"Perci! Where are you?"
He might have been training, so I tried checking the basement. He wasn't there. Then, I went through all the rooms of the house, even the attic. But still, he was nowhere to be found.
"Where the hell could he be?"
Maybe he was outside, so I walked towards the front door.
Just as I was about to hold onto the door knob, Perci had suddenly opened it from outside and covered my mouth.
"Mmmmmmm!"
"Shhh...Be quiet. Don't open that door."
I nodded silently and he locked the door. He dragged me over to the window and I took a peek.
The sound of motorcycles could be heard coming towards the house.
"No way....."
It was coming from Ryder. And this time, he had more riders with him.
"His gang wasn't that big before....how did this happen?!" I asked.
"I don't know, but I was on patrol when I spotted them from afar."
"I thought he was dead for sure, but now he's back with double the gang members!"
"It's not like we finished him off last time...."
"Dustin's there too! That traitor!" I pointed towards the orange-haired boy on one of the bikes.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
Ryder screamed with his lungs.
"What is that idiot doing? He's going to attract the zombies!" I complained.
"I know you're in there! Show yourselves!"
Obviously, we didn't respond. Why would we?
"Do we have to do this the hard way?! Last chance! I'll give you three seconds," Ryder put his hand in the air. "If you don't come out by then, we're forcing ourselves inside!"
"Tsk, we better hide," Perci said, clutching his umbrella. "There's no way I can take on all 10 of them."
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Time's up! Let's go boys!"
They tried to turn the doorknob forcibly, then banged on the door loudly and tried to kick it open.
"Of course it's locked! Break in through the windows!"
"Let's head upstairs quickly," Perci escorted me up the stairs.
The breaking sound of glass could be heard from downstairs alongside some footsteps that entered the house.
They began to smash things around the house and destroy most of the furniture, creating a huge mess.
"Hey...is that ok? They're disrespecting your grandfather's house," I whispered.
"I don't understand why they're doing this....." Perci said. "But my grandfather told me to act calmly in situations like this. I can't let emotions cloud my reasoning and judgment."
