It was them he didn't trust, not her, and of course she was the only one who could have taken on the job with any chance of success, but that didn't mean he had to like it. Didn't mean he had to agree to it.
"...You need somebody to come get you out if you need it," he added as he started to put the pieces together, and of course it was why they were here. It was the only reason it could have been. She needed someone to have her back from the outside. And he always would, for as long as she let him. "Somebody who knows which side you're on if the shit hits the fan."
