He doesn't get a chance to come up with a different lie as Atticus takes another sniff. R can almost see the exact moment the realization dawns on the Tribute's face. Here we go, R sighs, pumping himself up for what's next. And ding-ding-ding, there it is, the whole "dude, you're totally a walking corpse" thing as if this was all news to him. His corpse is already moving on its own, R feeling like he's along for the ride. What will most likely happen is he will hunt down Atticus until he's too tired to move, kill him, and go for the brain like clockwork...or the other guy will luck out and R will be double-dead. Without Julie here, R finds it hard to care that it's a 50-50 chance.
The zombie doesn't try to argue with Atticus. Instead his lurch speeds up as he throws himself at the other Tribute, his blackened lips pulled back in a snarl. Sorry, buddy. You did seem pretty cool in R's book.
