Andre let himself be helped upward, but the contortion of his face said he wasn’t exactly accepting of the banter bullshit Mik flung about like – well – bullshit. “We almost died!” he said between his teeth. “The academy doesn’t exactly prepare you for zombies attacking you in the dark while standing on the precipice of a river of shit barely wide enough to stand up on.”
Nostrils flared, pupils black discs in the dark, Andre snarled, only to hide the motion of himself taking a whiff of his own arm. The stink wasn’t as bad as it was, but that only meant he was getting used to it. The dead bodies would make it worse in a few hours. It’s not like there were carrion birds coming to pick the meat clean. Unless something else lived down here. He shivered to imagine it.
He started to move, only to realize that everywhere he stepped was a slick sludge of zombie blood. They were all probably splattered with it. “If you can get us out of here, I’ll order room service and we can drink in my room. Looks like I won’t be going to the Kremlin today anyway. But I call dibs on the fucking shower,” he pointed at Mik. “Alone, Full Back!” he added, though something in his voice wasn’t committed to the bargain.
