"Ferb, why did you bring that in here.", Gretchen yelled.
"This is our way out.", Ferb said.
Everyone, except Phineas, at that point though he had lost his mind. They once again began to protest loudly. "QUIET!" Phineas yelled making everyone flinched, not used to hearing Phineas yell angrily so before. When everyone was quiet Phineas continued speaking "Let him explain himself before you just jump down his throat". So everyone kept their mouths shut and Ferb began to explain his plan.
"It's apparent that the walkers don't attack their own and they attack anything still alive. We can't go through them with the weapons we have, we won't make it five feet. We can sneak through them though I think if we camouflage ourselves". This officially left everyone confused with the exception of Phineas. "I'm not saying we try to look like them but smell like them".
"How are we gonna do that.", Irving asked.
"By cutting this thing open and covering ourselves with its insides".
At that point more people were more grossed out than confused at the current plan. Ferb ignored them and continued on, "I need two volunteers". Phineas was, as expected, the first to step up, while Irving was the second volunteer.
"How do you know this will work.", asked Milly.
"I don't", said Ferb "We will just have to risk it". Ferb was done talking at that point, now was the time for action. He picked up the knife he had with him, raised it over his head, and thrust it into the walker's stomach. He cut downward, making an incision. The smell alone made even Ferb gag. After he was done he dug his hands into it. He pulled out several organs and other things and smeared it against his clothes. Holly threw up in a trashcan right next to him. Phineas also smeared blood and guts on his clothes and draped some segment of its guts around his neck. Irving hesitantly did the same. After they were done Phineas told Gretchen to open the door slightly which she did. Phineas, Ferb, and Irving slowly slid out the door, away from the safety of the headquarters. When they were out he told Gretchen to close the door. Though she still protested this decision, she obeyed and abandoned them outside.
The trio stared ahead at the walkers which now numbered less than fifty. One began to approach them. Irving felt like running back inside, but Ferb grabbed his arm and held him still. The walker got closer, closer, closer, and walked right by them.
"It worked.", Phineas whispered. Ferb nodded and pointed forward. Phineas nodded and the three began to slowly walk amongst the walkers towards the building where Stacy and Jeremy were hiding. Phineas looked at all of the faces in the crowd to see if he could recognize any of them. He gasped slightly when he saw Madame Fireside's face. Isabella and the other girls won't like this, he thought. They eventually reached the door and Ferb held it open allowing Phineas and Irving to enter, then he quickly ran inside and shut it behind him.
"Glad that's over with.", said Irving.
The three looked around the lobby area. "They have to be here somewhere.", Phineas said. They spread out to look for any indication that they were here. Ferb bent down to look at something on the ground. They were bloody footprints belonging to a male with approximately size 12 shoes. Before he could get up he heard the click of a gun being cocked behind him.
"Who are you and how did you get here.", the person said.
Ferb could tell by the voice that it was a female. Ferb slowly turned around with his hands raised and stared Stacy right in the eyes with Jeremy right behind her clutching a fire axe in his hands.
