Jack rolled his eyes as the exchange was had. He didn't care for this sort of thing, he just wanted to get this over with so he could blow these guys away and claim all they had. On the other hand, it was a good opportunity to learn what type of men he was dealing with, so he decided to look over the people while listening in intently. He looked at the first man, the one surrounded by the two women, and he was not at all impressed. Jack got a strong feeling that this man was very much like Ulrich, but may have the deadly skills of himself. He had a shotgun, but the question was did he know how to use it as well as Jack did? Jack was trained with his weapon and tested in the field, for all he knew this man had his because he had no choice in weaponry and took whatever he could get his hands on. Jack turned his gaze to the women, immediately considering them a greater threat then the moron with the shotgun. Women had ways to get what they wanted, not to mention they had certain features which could cloud a man's judgment. Jack knew he'd have to take them our first, because those two could possibly cause Jack to lose his resolve, and if it wavered in even the slightest way he could wind up eating a bullet. Jack recalled the leader now. He seemed devious, but inexperienced. Jack knew how to spot a snake, and he'd found one. This man, he knew how to operate, if only a little, and he probably had the most skill with a gun. With any luck Jack could avoid fighting him directly and could use either Nikolai or one of this man's assailants to get him out of the picture. Jack's ordering was certain now, kill the women, then kill the dork with the shotgun, and let somebody else kill the leader while he did the first two. He decided now would be a good time to bring up something, so he said casually, "If you want our help, you might want to let me talk to my allies alone. After all, you all pointed guns at them and hauled them off somewhere, so they probably wouldn't listen to you, or worse, they'd agree and betray you afterwards. Trust me, with the type of unstable people I run with, you want to let me handle this. Or you can do it however you want. After all, you're in charge, not me. I just can't promise how long it'll stay that way if you don't let me tell them what's up, though."
