[Oh NOW we're considering that maybe Ana has a better grasp on things than the ex-Commander in question does??? Where was this before a certain someone decided to blow her whole stakeout??
There's more than a little exasperation in the glance Ana shoots Jack at the joke, such as it is. It comes across more of a ghost of old humor than anything else. But they have bigger things to worry about right now, and she's said her piece on what she thinks of her operation being crashed. She adjusts the grip on her rifle and takes point.]
This way.
[It should probably not be much of a surprise when it's revealed that Ana's 'place' is a cave in a cliff face. Above the high walls and obscuring trees, it has a perfect view of Hakim's (now ruined) compound and the desert around it, not allowing for much surprise from Ana's perch. She keeps an eye out as she leads Jack to her hideout, but all things considered, she's honestly not too concerned about Gabe coming back for a second round so soon. Not after what she saw.
She's quick to push that from her mind. She already has one ghost to take care of, and Jack's always been a handful. Once they're in the confines of the cave, she speaks.]
For a dead man, you're certainly looking well these days.
[She says it in the middle of propping her rifle up against a cave wall and working to pack what meager belongings she brought with her. There's a note of fondness to her voice that she can't help. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Ana's had an eye shot out, Jack went through an explosion, and yet he still needs Ana to save his ass.]
calm down grandpa
