“They're idiots, and I hope they...” Maddie trailed off and shook her head again. No. As much as she wanted these boys to learn their lesson, she wouldn't wish a zombie attack on anyone's family. Maddie's defensive techniques often made her look spiteful, but with all her family had suffered from zombies, she wouldn't wish that on anyone else.
She didn't mind when Nick made her threats, because it was more or less true. If this group came back at her with more remarks about her family, she might not be able to hold herself back. Here, with both sides throwing remarks at each other, it was allowed (however underhanded and annoying it was), but outside of this confrontation it wouldn't be tolerated.
Shoving her hands into her pockets, Maddie looked at Nick and didn't bother to keep her voice down as she turned to walk away. “I don't know how much Security would be able to do about this. They'd probably just tell us that it's not a big enough issue or some crap like that. This type of thing goes on the bottom of the pile of things they deal with.”
She looked around them. The area wasn't exactly crowded with people, but post-explosion Maddie felt surrounded, like every single eye in the compound was on her. Letting out a breath, she ducked her head, her bangs falling forward to partially cover her eyes. She didn't know whether to apologize to Nick for how things had gone so badly, or just keep walking and try to pretend all the adults nearby weren't judging her for going off on a kid.
