[It's over even quicker than Riley expected even if it makes logical sense. They're little men breaking into a family's home. They never expected a fight against someone who knew what they were doing. It may have taken five years but, Riley typically knows how to engage and destroy with the best of them. She just did a lot less gracefully when her enemy was essential a small army of thugs.
That's a story for another day. She only pauses long enough to pick up their weapons and blankets. She does trust Frank wouldn't give her a clear unless they were truly clear if only because she gave a very powerful example of what happens to child killers around her.
(Maybe deep down she senses a kindred spirit too. She's been alone too long to let herself analyze it.)
Like many times before she opens the zippo at just the right moment and runs for her life. She's clear by the skin of her teeth as always; crashing violently to the ground with those blankets and spears clutched to her chest.
It takes a couple seconds, but Riley gets up, practically shaking from the adrenaline. She still holds out the blankets and extra spears like a peace offering. She did destroy their home even if she thinks it was necessary. Better to let it burn than go to the enemy.] You're going to need these.
