"I'll come with you, let me just get a snack or something first..." Kate trailed off uncertainly as she pulled an ice-cold bottle of water out of a cooling box. To be honest, she was in need of sleep more than anything right now. Scouting with Matt took it's toll on the youngest one here - she was a college student - she had nothing on the Deltas.

Matt grabbed the raven-haired girl by the top of her head and forcefully walked her over to the sleeping area, "We don't need a sleepy sniper. Stay here. I'll go with Dave and check this out."

"But I'm-" Kate was interrupted.

"Tired. Now get some rest, you've earned it," the soldier smiled and messed with her hair before going over to join Dave at the entrance/exit to the safehouse. Reluctantly, Kate snuggled into a sleeping bag. It wasn't surprising she fell asleep so quickly after all the legwork. Another surviving soldier who was reading through old magazines got up and threw some blankets over their little sharpshooting friend, before returning to what he was doing.

"So, the dudes on the radio. Who are we going to check up on?" Matt asked.
