Snippet #1592646

Jackie had been watching the fraction of their team approach. The little girl with the soldier was a surprise but she had been dangerous close to that age too. Plus if the little girl had enough spirit then it would be possible to get in a sneak attack on the enemy using her as bait. It seemed cruel but she deemed whatever that helped important. Her attention remained on the girl who had taken a liking to Luke before transferring her ample gaze to Owen who explained his own plan. "I find that acceptable." She glanced towards the distance where flecks of people did exactly as he said. The square shape must have been the truck and the moving dots were people. Her hands tightened on the gun then relaxed, altering between nervous and calm.

She growled and looked to Arlayna who had lost her nuts. Perhaps she could find them soon, preferably before we go into battle? "Play? What NCR battalion would play with the likes of us? No. They wouldn't play with us but they would rather put a few new holes in our suits. Lying is a good thing when it can keep your clothes nice and pretty. Okay?" Her eyes switched between watching Owen who seemed to be getting angrier by seconds and Arlayna who still seemed to have lost more than just her nuts. Was she purposely being naive? Jackie shook her head and side-stepped away from her the tiniest bit, not enough to be noticeable but enough so that if Owen got pissy she could get out of the way. "Guns-a-blazing was never the best way to win a war. Strategy is needed."
