Shane knew that this was a lie. More people had washed up? Could he mean his team? What of some of them survived. What if they were dead? More blood on his hands. He did not want it that way. He could not bear more deaths cause he messed up. He looked at Erick in time to see his jaw twitch. A tell. He was lying through his teeth. 

 "Wait there were others? What happened to them? Let me guess the mutants got them. Hang on. The mutants have been a problem here? Looks like the Ruskies have not had control here. " He said softly. "You know I won't hurt you Misty. Not after you saved me. " He said noticing her backing away. Though he was more curious with her friend. 

"Hey Erick. You and I have a soldiers build. Like you know how to fight. Where did you learn? I mean you look tough but I could take you easily. " He boasted. He figured a little ribbing would make Erick like him more. It was how soldiers worked and SEALs were no different.
