Ronnie was waiting at the well for the others to show up. She sat on the edge of the well and was going over a mental checklist of what she knew about the area they were on their way to. She didn't feel the need to check over her gear, because she already went over it once. Marcus taught her that once you went over the gear once that was it. There would be no other reason to go over it again once it was done it was time to move and get ready for the job, and hope that you were through enough in your prep to make a difference. Ronnie knew it wouldn't be long and while Ronnie wasn't sure about who all was going the bottom line was two-fold for her on this one. 

One that yes Marcus was dead and Ronnie wanted answers. Was he really dying and this was a mercy killing? Had time caught up to Marcus making his draw just a little too slow one time? If Ronnie heard that truth would Ronnie be willing to believe it? That Marcus allowed someone to kill him before, what sounded like. the Cancer got to him? If nothing else Ronnie wanted to see Marcus' final resting spot to pay her last respects, and though he was going Marcus would always be a part of her life. He was really the first person who gave Ronnie a legit chance to prove herself after her leg was blown off. Marcus didn't pity on Ronnie, and worked her just as hard as any of the others in the crew. Then came the one night as they sat at once was the edge of the Grand Canyon. They shared some beers, a few details about their lives, and then they shared their feelings towards one another. They fought to keep it a secret from the others, but after two weeks they finally shared the secret. The others in the crew all said the same thing, "it's about time!" However it wasn't meant to last forever and after a little more than a year Marcus decided to move on, and told Ronnie it was for the best. Maybe he knew then that he was dying and he didn't want Ronnie to see him slip away? 

The second point was Boyd needed help and though there wasn't always a lot of love for one another within their crew they were family. They could get one each other's last nerves to the point that if they wanted to take each other out Heaven and Earth might call it justice, but when push came to shove they had each other's back. Much like Marcus had Ronnie's back more than once she felt the same loyalty towards Boyd. Not the same feelings by any stretch of the imagination but Boyd was the leader of this crew and that was enough for Ronnie. Besides the 5K pay off was nothing to look down on, and at this point they hadn't had a lot of action lately. If the dry spell went on much longer they would have to start practicing on each other. Nothing good could come of that mainly because while she respected Noella there were times that Ronnie thought Noella took a little too much pleasure out of trying to be a bad-ass and proving herself. 

Not to mention there was a new comer that Boyd was "interviewing" it appeared. Boyd was far from perfect but if there were two things that Ronnie knew was one she knew how to make something blow up real good, and two Boyd was one of the toughest men she ever knew he could handle himself. All the while though she watched out of the corner of her eye. If she just jumped in for the sake of jumping in Boyd would not be thrilled with her. Boyd would sure that the newbie would learn some manners, and if he didn't Ronnie and the others would take the time to "educate" him as to how things worked in this crew. Not to mention she had a hand on her Sig under her coat and was ready to go if need be, but she had faith in Boyd taking care of business.
