“If I’m bait, as you say, then there’s no better time to put me to good use than here. And if I do wind up getting myself eaten by one of these horrors, then you can wash your hands of me. Cheerfully cremate my remains, if you’d like. Pour your little augmented coagulant whatsit on my bones and give me a rousing send-off at daybreak. But if I stomp on inside and prove I can take on any infected and vampires within, then you owe me. Even if the vampire arse I beat winds up being yours.”
