Betty checked one final time to make sure that they were all still facing the car and once she had confirmed that every last zombie was distracted she began running as quickly and silently as possible. Fortunately, whatever held the mob of undead's attention kept it long after Betty had disappeared onto the house that had been across the street... she didn't even have to open the broken off door. As soon as she stepped inside Betty pressed her back up against the wall and kept her eyes peeled for signs of movement. Silence. Betty walked past the stairs and into the living room where she found a Spongebob backpack laying on the floor. It was a little small and not really her style, but she was glad to have something to put her first aid kit in. Betty gave the room a quick look around and when she didn't see anything useful, moved into the kitchen.
There was a days old corpse of a middle aged woman laying under the table with a towel over her face and flies buzzing over her body. Betty covered her mouth and nose in an attempt to cut off the smell and moved over to the refrigerator. She was hungry and it would be good to get some supplies to take with her.

After she had checked the window to make sure the outside was clear, Betty open the kitchens still intact door and walked out into the houses back yard. In a few minutes of careful navigating she was back on the street heading for the church, which she could now see up ahead. The tall tree that was growing in its front yard was unmistakable. Betty took momentary cover behind a car as a level 2 zombie seemed to sniff at the air around it as it passed by. Once it was out of sight Betty made a run for the church and was just about to the front steps when that same zombie appeared from behind a nearby car and began running towards her at a frightening speed!
