looks at James how is it not safe?
narrows his eyes We've got enemies out there, babe. They're watching our every move, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
looks at James what do we do then?
grabs his phone and starts dialing We need to meet with my most trusted ally. They might have some info on the rat.
looks at James that doesn't sound like a good idea.
raises an eyebrow Look, babe, I know it sounds risky, but it's our best shot at finding out who the traitor is. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you. takes Stranger's hand We'll get through this together, babe. I promise.
