Judy's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Zack to catch every word outside the door.

This was clearly her first time doing something like this, as she had forgotten to check if the door was locked in her panic, which was a foolish mistake.

Zack was utterly horrified by what he overheard. He couldn't believe that his mother, who wouldn't even dare slaughter a chicken, was capable of doing something so terrifying.
