Psh...

Even so, information's the one thing that is important. If he knew what was sent after him- well-

It'd make things easier to plan. Well- except the one we got in to ensure the job's done is a guy you can't plan around.

( Suddenly he wakes up and rubs his eyes, slowly opening them while he let out a loud yawn. )

( As soon as he woke up, he felt Kelly's gaze. He lazily turned his head and blinked at them, before giving a small smile. )

Oh, hi! Isn't it ... a little rude to stare at somebody?

Mm. Still feel pretty loyal to the people who hired you, then?

Well, if I betrayed 'em and they knew I did it.

There's nothing in the world that'd stop me from ending up dead. That's just the kind of trump card we have.

The guy doesn't like showing his face or working though.

I don't even know how he got accepted on the job.

The third guy's just transport really. He's got superpowers- but it's not really in his best interests to be fighting.

He kinda relies on people not being close to him.

It'd be pretty dumb of them to actually kill you if you said anything. If you get a reputation for murdering the people you hire, you're not gonna be able to actually recruit anyone before long. 'S probably in their best interests to just let it slide if you said something.

You don't know the thing about plugging leaks, do you?

If you talk- and you snitch- you're dead.

Maybe I'm just a little more optimistic than most. Or- just not very ruthless.

If I was in the position I was before my brother threw me behind bars-

And I knew that one of my mates had told the authorities about what we were doing?

I'd slit their throat. Because if they talk once- they'll talk again. And you can't always make the escape plan.

That seems like a pretty easy way to alienate people. I wouldn't wanna work with someone who was liable to kill me if I said something wrong.

Hey- it's not saying anything wrong to me. It's saying anything to the people who want to do us in.

Giving them information. It's like espionage.

You don't want one of your agents giving away national security info, aye?

National security's a bit different than criminal enterprise, isn't it? One's about everyone in the country you live in, the other's just about you and the people you work with.

The only difference is scale.

You have to keep criminal enterprises well oiled and secret.

If you just let your fellows spill their guts on your plans, you might as well start measuring yourself for an orange jumpsuit. 'Cause you're going to go to jail, or you're going to be dead.

The only third option is you somehow avoid both of those, but at that point you're going to have lost a lot of stuff.
