Penn and Linda

Did Penn the main mercenary leader have some previous relationship with that Lady Linda that was thrown off the train? After Travis Dane sarcastically gives her and her co-worker/lover a thumbs up after discovering them in bed, the camera zooms in on Penn who kinda looks hurt at seeing such a thing and then in disgust he tells her to put something on. She also seems to have a look of shame on her face.

What would prompt a girl like Linda to strike up a relationship with a guy like Penn? If there really ever was one. It's never stated but somehow implied by the look on Penn's face when he discovers her in bed with her co-worker.

I think that the camera zooming in on Penn in that was mainly to show how emotionless he was and that the sight of two ATAC captains in bed together was not enough to stir up any kind of facial response.

I like it.

Meh!

I thought he looked hurt somehow. Like Linda was cheating on him or he had a thing for her and discovering her like that somehow made his image of her quite painful. Anyway that's one theory I saw in his look. And even when he tells her to put something on, he says it like he's ashamed or something. Travis Dane giving the thumbs up seems like a mockery too. As if saying, you guys just pissed Penn, a cold blooded mercenary, for sleeping together.

I think you're reading too much into his glare. Like the other person, I think his blank expression is to just prove how cold & methodical he is. Killing a woman doesn't bother him.

Maybe I am. It just seemed like that I guess. They all seemed to know each other.

I agree that they did seem to know each other. I would have liked to know her. She was really cute. Um - what a way to go though! "I don't think we need them any more".🐭

I wish I had a relationship with her, Brenda Bakke is super hot.
