collect it and Sarah looks Rob up and down curiously.

Sarah: So, you’re a marine?

Rob: Yeah.

Sarah: Can you teach us how to shoot?

Tommy looks at Kenny and shakes his head side to side.

Kenny grins back widely: Oooooh, I think Thomas is jealous!

Tommy: Shut up you idiot.

Sarah shakes her head and walks ahead to the gear as Rob looks at Kenny smiling. He knows the drill. As she reaches down to lift her bag she looks back up to him: Don’t worry, you’ll get used to these clowns.

Rob: I hope so. That would mean we survive this mess.

He lifts another bag and Tommy hands him a magazine for his rifle. Then they set off down the tracks, walking carefully through the bodies as the flare burns out.
