Flynn and Syd whirled, their guns trained on the new pair.
"Check your fire," Syd yelled. "If you start spilling blood like that, the rest of them will come running, and none of us has enough bullets for that."
Flynn's turned away from the nearby downed zombie with revulsion. "We're not here to fight or wipe them out. We're trying to get the hell out of here, to reach a safe place or something." If there is such a place anymore...
Syd looked at everyone and then wordlessly peeled off his shirt, displaying his striped torso to everyone. "If we're all going to stick together and stay alive, then we need some basis of trust we can start from." He turned so everyone could see him. "I have no bites. I'm clean. I know Flynn is clean, too. If any of you approach too closely without proving to us that you're bite-free, I'll drop you." He cocked his shotgun as final punctuation. "I'm not about to take any chances because you're all nice people."
Flynn took of his shirt, too, showing that he was indeed bite-free.
