Ricky, who could obviously hear us the entire time, merely shook his head. And then, two minutes later, we were walking up the stairs to the club. “Go in, split up and look for some sort of communication device,” he said. “And act nonchalantly.”

My chuckle returned. “Zombies do blasé quite well, sweetie, so no worries there.”
