As everyone else cools off from the fight, Hannah contemplates the necessity of quitting her current assignment because she is beginning to like the real Jack more than the Jack from the movies. She worries that feelings of love might muddle her professional judgment in a critical moment and prevent her from doing her job, and although this possibility is not one she is willing to allow, she also realizes that this element was severely lacking in her relationship with Robby. As she goes to the nearby surveillance house to tell Glenn that she is withdrawing from the assignment, she hears gunshots and runs toward the sound. She finds Doc shooting bottles, and he suspects that her surprise is just because she is a “city slicker” (235). He offers to let her shoot his rifle, mentioning that it is probably too much for a woman to handle, and Hannah is goaded into shooting all of the bottles from the hip. She knows that she has revealed too much about herself by doing this, but she is not overly concerned because she still plans on leaving, even after noticing that Jack has seen the entire interaction.
