Re: Chapter 3 - Welcome the Woods - The Raiding Party
Cookie was uncharacteristically dressed with a hijab over her bleached locks, sans makeup, and a definite slouch as she wore an oversized sweatshirt. Even the bandanna adorning her left boot was gone, the worn jeans pulled over the Bates boots to hide their nature. She carried a shotgun in a sling, her Glock tucked into her back waistband, and the slugger, now camoflaged as well with some nails and paint. She wasn't out front as usual, but slightly to the back, and she wasn't riding her Harley - though she'd disabled it in case anybody got funny ideas about stealing it. From a distance, it didn't look like the same woman, which was what she wanted. "Okay, lead on," she said to the guides, "And tell me everything you know about the possible raiders in the area. Where do they hit ? Are there chokepoints along the trail that would make an attack more feasible ?"
