The tracker was never without her arsenal, a fact Rachel appreciated. Throwing knives ringed the tracker’s slim waist, her weapons of choice. Strapped to her leg was an abbreviated panga, for close encounters she said. Clad in a leather vest and knee length leather pants, Geena looked lethal and extremely capable. Save for the delicate features fringed by short blonde hair, she was as savage appearing as any of the men. Could kick most of their butts too!
