Chapter 73: How You Kill It
Dimitri turned his head just in time to watch as two humans had their necks ripped out, blood gushing everywhere as the zombies happily feasted on their flesh.
Shrugging his shoulders, not caring about their deaths, Dimitri tipped his head toward René. "’E be shittin’ a brick right about now," he chuckled. "You’s wanna lend a ’and?"
Ronan snorted as Désiré strolled toward him, one hand in his pants pocket as if he was simply taking a stroll through the park. In his other hand was a baseball bat that they had found in the room, covered in dark red blood and brain matter.
Swinging the bat in a circle, he whistled a cheerful tune as the snow continued to fall around them. "Too busy," smirked Désiré. "’Sides, when does de big man need our help?"
"True," agreed Luca, resting his arm on Ronan’s shoulder as Dimitri, annoyed with the zombie in his hands, ripped off the creature’s head without a second thought. Wiping his hands on his pants, he ignored René’s bellow for help. "I’s think it be about time ’e got out of ’is ivory tower ’n into de real world. Poor Prince gonna ’ave ta get dirty fer a change."
Suddenly, the snow and the zombies completely disappeared, leaving everyone in the navy base looking around in confusion. René, realizing that there were no more threats, stomped over to where the others stood, Alicia hurrying after him, clutching her bleeding arm.
"What was that?" he hissed, fury obscuring his features for a moment as he fought to get himself under control. "We’s needed ’elp. ’Licia got hurt because of you!" Jabbing his finger into Luca’s chest, René was surprised when the other man grabbed the offending digit and bent it backward.
"First," smiled Luca, looking down at René, who had dropped to his knee to prevent his finger from breaking. "We did help. Second... Alicia managed to cut herself with her own knife. Not very smart if you ask me, but then again... you didn’t."
"Vraiment," agreed Ronan, looking the shorter woman up and down for a second with a twisted smile on his face. "You’s be givin’ me second ’and embarrassment. Might wanna step up that train’ yous always talkin’ about."
