Jack's head perked up at the sight of... something... a little bit away from the tavern. If he had to guess, it probably had the stealth and grace of one of the shadow creatures from before. Whether it was a shadow or not was something Jack was uncertain about, or even if it was the same one that took Sally. Regardless of anything, though, Jack saw it was indeed barreling towards the area with a worrying speed, despite it taking a rather erratic path.

[color=orange]"Ohh, what to do what to do?!"[/color] Jack asked himself as he climbed to his feet, rummaging through his bag of nonsense to see if anything in there would help him. The first thing he pulled out was Zero, which would actually be a bit of a help in this if he didn't have anything else at the moment. Bat Boomerangs wouldn't be useful, he wasn't sure if the Frog Gun could reach the shadow, and while the Soul Robber was a very useful tool it probably wouldn't help here.

As he came to his conclusion, he turned to Zero and smiled at the pooch. [color=orange]"Zero! Do you mind giving me a ghastly howl, hopefully one that'll alert our Troublesome Trinity and the others!"[/color]

Zero wagged his little ghostly tail before he looked to the moon and did what most wolves do best.
