"I, guess we turn right here?" He said with no real enthusiasm.

Oh, hell no.
Was she... crying?
Ian's hard heart dropped to the bottom of his stomach. Could he have made a terrible mistake? The Others stood by mocking his brash behavior and Ian's mind raced as he began to second-guess himself. He could have killed her. Has this bleak world jaded him so much that as soon as he saw a stranger he thought to end their life? Ian looked into her dark eyes and saw two things. One which he had expected; the fierce spirit of a young woman tempered by a harsh reality, and one which he did not; a sincere innocence that pleaded him to let the woman go. Ian Foster, a man far too quick to hate, was beginning to hate himself for being so blind. What a hypocrite he was, his excessive paranoia had sabotaged his plans for universal accord for humans and Others. I'm such a Heel.
Ian refused to let this gaffe stymie his ambitions and decided to proceed delicately and deliberately. He pulled himself off the ground and stepped back from his victim. "All right then, strange lady, if you're part of a government then prove it. Who's your CO? Where is your group based? And why in God's gray earth are you traveling alone when you are so easy to knock down with no more than a grenade and a tack from a man twice your size?"
Ian tried to smile politely and he extended his hand for her to take it.
