With the difficulty Briggs' is having keeping focus, he hands the gun over to Mike when he gets close. "You're a better shot anyway, right?" he's trying to come off lightly, like they aren't in a deadly situation that could destroy the house and everyone in it.

Once they get moving Briggs asks, "So, we got a sick bastard with too much money and time on his hands?" Again, trying to come off light. It's more for his on sanity, it's easier to take.

There's suspiciously too few guards in the direction they first head. Originally, Briggs thought Mike was responsible for the his cell unlocking but now... "Please tell me you're the one who opened my cell." It comes out through grit teeth. Moving is making everything he's feeling worse. He pauses against a wall, taking a second to convince his nerve endings to calm down. He forces his jaw to relax and his breathing to slow(not by much). "I gotta tell you, I'm starting to feel like a rat in a maze."
