WARNING: THERE IS SUICIDE IN THIS CHAPTER

"Now I've got a fabrication charge against me!" Principal Finch yelled

"Hey, that's your own damn fault," The man barked back, "My cops did their job, your people were the ones who screwed up the forgeries,"

"You gotta do something!" Principal Finch pleaded

"I don't "Gotta" do anything," The man told, "You're on your own from here,"

"What about the kid!" Principal Finch asked

"The kid isn't my problem anymore," The man explained, "I already gave them punishment for messing with me,"

"Well what about messing with me?!" Principal Finch continued

"Again, you got yourself into that mess," The man said, "Call this number again and you're dead, get me?"

"Hey! I've got dirt on everything you've done! If you don't help me out I'll spill to the cops!" Principal Finch threatened, "And not your cops!"

"You're seriously threatening me?" The man chuckled

"It's not a threat, it's a promise," Principal Finch told

"Uh-huh, good luck with that," The man said as he hung up the phone

"Why do those humans look like that?" Pearl asked as Y/n, Amethyst, Steven, Garnet, and her all gathered around Steven's TV at night watching a movie

"They're dead," Y/n explained

"Then why are they walking around?" Amethyst asked

"I dunno, a virus or something," Y/n shrugged

"I don't think that's possible," Pearl told

"It's a movie! Use your imagination!" Steven hushed, "I wanna see what happens next!"

"Why are they attacking other humans?" Pearl continued

"They're attacking anything alive," Y/n told, "For food,"

"So they're just operating off of base instinct?" Pearl asked

"I guess, yeah," Y/n said, "I mean, they're dead, what else do they have beside instinct?"

"Shh! This is supposed to be the coolest part!" Steven said as he threw a popcorn kernel at Y/n

"Nasty," Amethyst shrunk back as a the movie played a gruesome scene

"Zombie baby, that's the first I've seen," Y/n chuckled a bit

"This human must be crazy..." Pearl whispered to Y/n to not bother Steven, "If that woman had died, and all who die turn into... zombies, as you call them, it would only make sense the baby was a zombie as well!"

"Well, when it comes to love some people don't use logic," Y/n told, "You know... They were married, they were expecting the baby for nine months, he just wanted his kid...He wasn't thinking logically, just emotionaly"

"Yes, humans tend to throw away logic for emotions," Pearl agreed

"Want some?" Steven passed over the popcorn bag, his eyes still glued to the TV

"Sure," Y/n said as they grabbed the bag, took a fist full, then handed it back, "Thanks,"

"Mhm," Steven nodded as he watched in awe
