Thought you'd realise that just by looking at me. I'm not going to start reminiscing about my past, so don't go there," he murmured.

Raisa was unsure of how to respond to that. He'd been fine with her at his side, but add the Red into the equation and he starts getting hostile? Maybe he just didn't like them. Or, maybe he just didn't like Valery! It was hard to tell. Despite the odd company, Raisa was glad she wasn't making the trip by herself.

"We're about to connect to the main tunnel. From there, it shouldn't be far to Volgogradsky Prospekt. That also means the threat level's about to rise. Be on your guard, but not so much that they gun us down at the outermost guard post," the Major spoke quickly, readying his SVD.
