Plot:
Hmm, not very believable, but it's your story. Don't you think that some description of how Dasha looked might be in order. How old is she, what's her hair color (oh, almost forgot - I don't know what's Ann's hair color also).The girls were chatting for less than a minute, then Ann said ‘Yes, she knows. She is married to an officer and she has seen many times how to shoot and reload when they livied at the military camp.
Some other thing: where's Dasha's husband? Did she wordlessly agreed to follow them? Didn't she at least ask just who the hell was this foreigner who'd just killed a man who tried rape her?‘Okay, better than nothing; Ithinkguess she’ll have to teach me,’ Peter said slightly embarrassed by the fact that he has to learn from a girl how to shoot a gun.
I think she could say at least 'thank you'.
