((No prob))
The driver, slightly panic now, quickly threw the bus in reverse.
"Now what?" Prince asked in a strange mask of calmness as RJ dragged him away from the windows. She fired carefully-making her marks count while the others did their best to keep the mass at bay. She barely heard the screams of the lost soldier over the chaos. His comrades muttered curses to the undead.

The wheels stuttered and halted in various ways as they struggled to shake the corpses rammed under it. Andrew staggered about on the roof and then when he got the opportunity pulled himself down and kicked the zombies away, forcing himself into the gap of the window like a makeshift shield to stop them breeching it any further. he gripped the roof with one hand and used the other to fire off more shots into the crowd.
"Go forwards again, that'll shake the corpses!" he ordered, as if he were in charge. No one else seemed to be offering any ideas. If they got their speed up they would be fine, he thought. he weathered the zombies who were still attached to the bus clawing at his legs and torso without any pain and glanced back, glad to be of some use.
"Go for it, they're coming back!"

The driver just did what was being ordered of him. He slammed the petal to the floor. The tired screeched and the smell of burning rubber filled the air. A few moments later the bus went forward at full speed.

Andrew couldn't help but screma in a mix of surprise and anger as one of the zombies shoved it's hands right through his gut in an attempt to get at the humans. he promptly shot the offended zombie in the face and it fell backwards , tumbling into the few remaining zombies and thus freeing the rest of the bus. Andrew spat after it and once everything seemed safe, climbed back inside of the bus. they soon left the zombies behind in their dust.

"No offense but......ew," Prince said looking over Andrew.
The soldiers were silent-mourning the loss of their comrade.
Prince refused to dwell on it though. Had to keep up with appearences. "RJ, see if he needs any assistance," Prince asked. RJ paused before complying with the order. She managed to find some thick thread and bendable wire. Although she wasten't certain if it was enough when she gave it to Andrew.

Andrew sighed and sat down, trying to repack a few of his entrails into the fist-sized hole. It was easier being dead, the blood at least didn't spurt everywhere. While it was present it was more like bile in consistency, so while it made a mess it didn't get everywhere.
He took the needle and thread with a nod of thanks and attempted to fix himself up a little.
"you'll have to do my back." he said to RJ

RJ stared at him for a moment. "Understood," she replied unfazed by the idea. She awaited patiently for him to finish up what he could get done himself.
A couple soldiers glanced their way-grimancing at the sight. One muttered disgusting while another mumbled unholy.

Andrew turned and let RJ do his back, glaring at the men who had commented.
"the next person to make a snide comment gets bitten - let's see how you like it."

The men fell silent at the threat and looked away.
RJ looked over the damage and carefully matched up the torn pieces of muscle and skin. The texture was.....strange. Although she had disposed of many undead she had never spent the time to examine one closely or studied the decomp.
Then, almost like a pro, she skillfully sew the edges up. She tied the ends and used a knife to sever off the bit of excess. "Done," she replied returning to Prince's side. Prince helped her clean up-didn't want an accidental infection.

"Thankyou." Andrew said, turning back around and tugging his shirt down. his insides sat awkwardly inside, but he figured they'd work themselves out once he started walking about.
he leant back and sighed examining his gun and reloading it. After a little while he looked over at prince and asked gently
"do you know who the man who died was?" he wasn't sure if he would since he was probably a grunt, but then again human communities were small and close ones, perhaps even this crimnal type.

"Not on a personal.....friendship type relation. Just infomation," Prince replied-a hint of saddness glimmering in his eye. "In my line of work I try to make it a habit of not getting too attached to people. But I believe his name was Jacoby Agler. 24 years of age. Orginally from Texas and so forth."

Andrew nodded solemnly.
"well..at least he won't be a zombie after that, uh, death. that's a comfort."

"I suppose.....as dark as comfort as it is," Prince replied.
A few men shifted uncomfortably at their conversation. RJ remained at silent as the grave as she reloaded her own guns and replenished herslef with some extra ammo. She even set some aside for Andrew.

"nowadays all comforts are dark." Andrew commented a little bleakly and took the ammo RJ laid out for him with a nod of thanks
