Flake looked at them then started walking quietly towards the zoo. Jess looked at hir with curiosity and followed while the others had made their way back to the château.
"Flake, what are you doing, hun?"
Flake replied. "Do you have a place to think, Jess?"
Jess smiled. "My kitchen."
"Well, mine is the zoo. I feel I may get an idea there." Shi smiled as shi kept walking.
-------
After thirty minutes of walking, the two had arrived there. Flake had loved animals as a child and that has not changed. Her first stop was the wolves. She looked at them. "Wolves are facinating creatures, aren't they?"
Jess nodded. "That they are." She watched letting it grow quiet as Flake gave it some thought.
---------
Hours rolled by when Flake raised hir head. "Of course."
Jess looked over from a bench. "What?"
"The violent kats? They're not attacking because they're attacking. Or that they're violent." Flake looked over. "A wolf will defend his or her territory from any who threaten it in any way. The soldiers are seen as a threat. What is different is that they are territorial."
"Okay, I can see that, but why won't they attack us?" Jess asked.
"Because, we aren't a threat to them, for there are millions, so they assume that we're part of another pack." Flake smiled.
This revelation gave Jess a smile too. If that's the case, she knew how to tranquilize them. "Hun, you are a downright genius."
"Thank yo..." Shi paused. "Jess, another thing just clicked." She paced back and forth. "A zoo would be perfect for new dna for the virus to be mixed."
"Makes sense, but I don't like what you're saying, that this zoo is the headquarters?"
Flake shook hir head. "Not this zoo. The next closest city's zoo."
Jess looked. "What do you..." Jess caught a glimpse of a sign reading London National Zoo. "No..."
Flake nodded. "Correct. London. It's perfect hideout. And the British government has no idea that he's there." She walked back and forth. "Mind that is a hunch, so don't get too excited."
"I won't, but it seems we got to alert the British authorities. Come, we best hurry back."
Flake nodded in agreement and the two ran to catch up to the rest, Jess calling Nikole to wait for them. Once caught up they made way back to headquarters.
