"Aye." Considering he had heard an increased amount of groans and shuffling from the zombie-things after his fight, it made sense. The louder something was, the more they were drawn to it. It didn't quite explain why they had seemed so determined to get to him, but now wasn't the time to try and figure that out.

Instead he moved over to Ichijou's side, and placed a hand on the man's shoulder. Ichijou would have to turn his head to see Jamie's face, but he would be able to feel that touch right up to the end. Maybe that would provide some sort of comfort. He didn't know if it would, but he had to try at least that much. And then, once it was over, he would be free to run.

He looked down at Ichijou one last time, then back up to Wash with a nod. Whenever the agent was ready, he was ready as well.
