There is going to be an unnecessary but funny fourth wall breaking "behind the scenes" of writing this story sometime soon. I wasn't going to but because of a comment someone said today I had the idea that to Me thought would be hilarious so you all have to suffer me being funny to myself

…
A couple of weeks later, after Jack and his pack returned from a group hunt, Jack stored the uneaten leftovers in the WalMart. As he was leaving he noticed a single hunter and common infected seeming to follow him. Jack waited for a while, just to make sure he was being followed. Once he was, he turned to attack.
"Whoa whoa, easy!" the other hunter said before a fight could break out. He wasn't that good at fighting and he knew the common infected with him would not be able to fight a hunter. "We're not looking for a fight, just wanting to make sure you were the right hunter first."
"And you was doing dis by just following me?"
The common infected spoke up. "Well, do you know two women, Patricia and Jennet?"
Jack hesitated, finding this weird but figuring it couldn't be the same two. "Yeah I have two muddahs by dose names."
The other hunter pulled his silver hood back. "Jennet is our mother and Patricia is our step mother-that would make you our half-brother!"
Jack blinked, looking at the other hunter like he'd grown a second head. "Dere ARE more than one Patricia and Jennet, dose're just names! What makes you sure dey're de same ones?"
The common infected started to feel around his pockets for something. "Ethan and I," he started, gesturing back towards the hunter, "hung onto our wallets when we became infected. Since Ethan jumps around I hold onto them so they dont get lost. It's the only things we have from before." After a bit of searching he found one. Opening it he then took out a picture and handed it to Jack. "Is that the Jennet who's your mother?" Jack looked at the picture remaining silent. "They're the same aren't they." He wasn't really asking. The two of them had run into the two women a few days ago, that was the whole reason they followed them back to finally meet their younger brother. They had only ever talked on the phone, and that was before the infection had even started.
Jack gave the common infected the picture back. "It don' mean anything."
The other hunter, Ethan, grinned. "Ha! I knew it! We're brothers aren't we!" Ethan pulled Jack into a tight hug making the hunter yip and start squirming. "Aw our cute little baby brother Jackie!"
"Let Go Of Me Dis Instant Before I Rip Out Your Intestine And Strangle You Wit It!"
"Aw it's just a hug from your dear older brothers 'Eel and Lucky'!" the common infected said snickering and joining in the hug.
Crap. Of course they would have told them that. Before Jack could respond, Ethan spoke up. "Hey! You know when we met up with our moms, they said you had a pack! We would Love to meet them!"
"We'll stop hugging you if you let us me them!" The common infected, Liam, added. Jack growled, however, wanting to get out of the hug he agreed. After they let go of him, he annoyedly led them back to his pack.
"Wow, you've got a pretty big pack, we're so proud of you baby bro!" Ethan said as he started to put Jack in a headlock.
"You touch me n your arm's comin' off." Ethan pulled his arms back.
"Hey who's the girl?" Liam asked, attempting to straighten his shirt out.
"Dat's Meg, " Jack answered, " and don' even Think about it."
"Oh she's your mate? Sorry bro, didn't know."
Jack blinked before looking away. "Well, No. "
"So she doesn't know?" Ethan asked. "Well bro! What are you waiting for!" The hunter turned and called out to the female hybrid. "Hey girl, Meg! Jackie here's got something to-" he was cut off with a pained grunt as he was kneed swiftly in the gut.
Meg came running up, looking at the common infected trying to help the hunter up before turning to Jack. " Hey Jack, whut's up and who are these two?"
Jack briefly grimaced before turning towards her. "Dey're uh, dey're my bruddahs. Dat's all that was gunna be said."
"Y'all're brothers? That's great! So they're joinin' th' pack, huh?"
Jack froze before he was able to reply. "I uh don' really-"
"But they're faim-lee! That ain't easy tah keep nowadays!" Meg argued.
Jack knew she had a point, and another hunter wouldn't hurt, but how was a common infected going to help a pack of hunters? "What about him?" Jack asked pointing to Liam. "How is a common infected gunna help a pack o' hunters? At least de smoker I let in is useful."
"Aw baby bro don't be mean," Liam pouted.
"Maybe he could watch Cody when we're all on a hunt?" Meg suggested.
"Who's Cody?"
"He's a blind kid hunter Jack brought into the pack,"
"Oh, you'll let in a blind baby hunter but you won't let in your own family. I see how it is, you're so mean little bro." Liam fake sniffled.
Jack groaned in annoyance. "If it'll stop yous guys from whinin' fine! You'll be babysittah an' distraction on smallah hunts. Jus' ask Timmey ovah dere what happens if you mouth off or don' follow ordahs, got it?" Liam decided against making a comment. He really did want to get to know his little brother, and the only real way to do that was to be around him in the pack. So he nodded in agreement. "Good."
"Ah'll go tell th' others!" Meg said and headed back off to the rest of the pack.
Before Jack went off to rejoin the others as well Ethan spoke up. "Hey Jack, thanks for letting us in your pack little bro. We weren't just messing around with wanting in. Now we can actually get to know each other better."
"Yeah, jus' try to keep up, ok? C'mon, I'll introduce ya to da uddahs." Jack led his two older brothers back to the rest of the pack. He wouldn't admit to anyone, but he was actually glad he was 'convinced' into letting them in.
