The Major remained silent, and slowly pushed the vent open for a better look both ways down the tunnels. Better to say nothing than promise this would go off without a hitch. Even the short trek to Volgogradsky Prospekt from here was dangerous. If what Raisa told him was correct, bandits could be operating around here. That, or they might be nursing their wounds if the mutant horde from Kuzminki continued onto the next station. He hoped those subhuman wretches died painfully, but a more realistic side of him hoped they were still acting as a shield against further mutant attacks along this line. Dropping down, he gave Valery a thumbs up and covered the southern tunnel.

"Seems peaceful enough. For now," he muttered, flicking on the torch wrapped around his warm hat.

Raisa would still be shuffling through the vent behind Valery, contemplating what he'd said about the Reds. That sounded pretty inviting, if anything! Of course, she realised by now that everything came with a price, or a snag, the Reds more than likely had some negatives. Not that she'd ask "what's the catch?" - that might be a little rude considering they were supposed to be friends for now.
