The group of Zombie Kings behind Ethan all looked at the Canadian zombie like he'd just grown a second head.
Big Ears was especially pissed. He jumped up on the spot and smacked the guy upside the head.
"What kind of sidekick are you? You don't even know where your boss went?"
"I—I really don't know," the Canadian zombie stammered.
Then he quickly explained. Their boss, a female Zombie King named Snowy Owl, didn't have any kind of clairvoyant powers or anything. She'd just gotten spooked earlier. After some scouting, she found out a group of humans was also hunting for the stone tablet.
And they weren't just any humans—they were strong. Really strong. They'd already wiped out a bunch of her underlings.
Knowing she couldn't take them head-on, Snowy Owl panicked and bolted. She didn't tell anyone where she was going, afraid her minions might accidentally give her away.
As for where she ran off to? Not a single soul—living or dead—had a clue.
