Is that a nicer and more modern term to use?

Paul put his hands on top of his wares. "You probably see nothing but junk here." He shook his head, "I've risked my life for these things and you come to me with that stupid green glass. Do you think I'm an idiot? The difference between my junk and your junk is that I only offer things that have a purpose. First you insult me, saying I'd accept fucking you for a wrench... A wrench has many uses, but what you offer me is useless."
He spat milky white phlem and turned to the man. "Huh, the liquids? The red container holds gasoline, siphoned off a crashed car a few weeks ago, the second is alcohol... mixed with battery acid I think. The third is a mystery... no one knows what it hold. Well, I mean I do, but you don't and that's whats important."

"If your planning on going somewhere... I can help you out. Or, what I mean to say is, I can accompany you... if you want. I'm a decent shot and I've got food I can share with you. And if it so happens that we come across some prime time loot, well..." He shrugged.
"What do you say Fredrick?"

He paused,inspecting the shopping cart and its contents.
"I'm not sure about the cart thought,we'd need to stay on roads with that thing,and from what I can tell most of the roads here are full of bandits and craters. Of course I could carry some of that stuff or we could find some sort of pack animal,if there are any to carry it for us"

"Alright, Young, Garner, stay with the rear of Love Company as they advance. Pick up any casualties and transport them back to the ridgeline and rejoin the force. Johnson, Newton, you two have the most surgical experience. I want you to stay back at the ridgeline and stabilize casualties. King, Baxter, stay on my ass and make sure we don't have any fatalities with the spearhead on the advance."

"Everyone ready!" Kingston waited for the thunder of Phoenix's artillery battery and the hiss of shells over head. In moments, whatever was on the other side was being showered with shrapnel. The flares were in the air, and Kingston blew his whistle. "Everyone, let's go!"

Hearing the idea of a small group forming, Jezebel threw the carton back into the mans carriage and dug out her pen and paper. Being a mute who lacked any knowledge or understanding of sign language, paper and pen were truly her only true means of communication.
Quickly, she scribbled a short message in amazingly clear handwriting for something so swiftly done whilst standing an with only a palm for a "flat" surface. When finished, she tapped one of the conversing men on the shoulder and placed the paper in his hand, quick and reflexive. The paper merely stated that she would carry some of the equipment, if she could join the trip and take a share of anything scavenged or earned along the way, with a signature reading J Dumia, "Machete Jean", towards the bottom. A fair trade, in her mind; Practical service in exchange for payment. She had enough room in her satchel to fit a dozen or small items if she tied her second pair of pants around her waist and filled her pockets with her own small items.
It was not that Jezebel desired companions for any sentimental or emotional reason, or adversely; Being unable to speak and express major verbal emotions made her somewhat of a recluse, though it was always interesting to have someone who talked often and liked a good listener. Rather, she valued companions strictly for their value to her person. Jezebel was skilled mainly in melee combat, hand-to-hand and knife fighting techniques mainly. She could handle most any animal in the wastes and almost any cheap raider. But her specialization left her open to attacks with guns or similarly ranged weapons; Her own gun was weaker than average, and as such, she would need to use stealth, evasion or diplomacy to get past sufficiently armed individuals. Since the later was not an option and the first of the former was often unavailable, she was often stuck with the center.
But if she had companions, both of which had guns and seemed proficient in them... That could level the playing field. She could deal with short distance enemies while they dealt with those at a distance, or keep raiders or beasts at bay while she salvaged from a ruin. It would, in theory, be an advantageous to all. If they agreed to her proposal. She had included her common nickname at the bottom of the note, as a last-minute ploy to force their hands; If they were from around here, they may just have heard of the knife-wielding adventurer, or at least the exaggerate stories of her.
