No time for the nod. Gordon shoves the shotgun under one arm- he's going to have to work up a better arrangement when he gets the chance- and locks the gravity gun onto the slip of red and steel just barely visible on the stones below.
The skinless things, for all their speed and unnerving grace, really aren't very well balanced. A good shotgun butt to the head would probably knock them down. A properly trained foot, now, that's something else. Those two zombies will be hitting the cobblestones hard enough to break things...
There's a creak and a thump, and Father Grigori calls out, "Now, brother step into the cart! The handbrake- release it, and come down!"
Gordon glances at Dinah and makes a 'ladies first' gesture. It's motivated more by the sight of the headcrab bite on her arm than any particular gender chivalry, for whatever that's worth.
