Snippet #2721904

Alexei waved away Zeke's apology, resolving to talk to him about whatever the hell just happened if they, made it out alive. Viktorya's warning alerted him that something was wrong and soon, when he strained to listen, he heard the screeching of metal on metal. A few seconds later, he saw it too.

He met Victor's eyes and thought he understood what the glance meant. Alexei flashed him a thumbs-up. He glanced around at the tunnel. The train would pass close to the walls where he was standing, but there wasn't much for him to do but get out of the way. He pressed himself into a alcove next to another soldier.

They both prepared to defend themselves. Victor, however seemed to be taking a more direct approach, punching through the side. Alexei winced watching Victor pull his hand out of the train, dragging with it what looked like half a human arm. He reminded himself to address it later as he pulled his gun.
