“Zhavi. Heh, why did I figure it'd be somethin' just as ridiculous?â€
He holstered the gun and shifted his weight to one hip before reaching for the cigarette. Now this was something else. She was actually going to offer him one of these, after everything that had happened. She was still going to call him a crazy scrag, and above all else, she was still here. There was some mutual respect there, for someone just as insane as him. His ears rang, and they rang hard.
“So long as the knife stays out of my back, we'll be fine. Let's make sure there isn't a good 'nuff reason, either.†He'd step past Zhavi if she let him, and past the corpse. Maybe a decade or so again, he might have felt something forthe kid laying there in his own shit and blood, but for the deadened-nerved captain standing above it, this was just business. “Ye'kin get me back for this one 'nother time, we need to get outta here now.†He knew she'd not let his spying get off easy.
“Got somewhere to lay low for a few?â€Â
