Mike stood with his arms folded over his chest. Even with the positive tone, he had no doubt of the horrors that awaited him for simply saying no. He was prepared to face it, if just to give Briggs a fighting chance. He pushes down a quiver of doubt when he sees just what Briggs as to get through. He's a smart, resourceful agent. Terrifyingly so. He'll get out. But he had one last card to play that could give Briggs a leg up.
"You don't understand," he even managed a vague laugh as if his captor were a fool. "Do you even know who Odin Rossi IS? If he doesn't make it out of there in one piece--or alive--you're going to have the ugliest turf war you've ever seen. His entire network's gonna get pulled down on every operation you've ever touched!" He actually seemed amused. "Why do you think we kept him as a CI instead of locking him away? He's connected to more shit than you could dream of."
He knew he was just making the future worse on himself, but he had to make sure Briggs could get back to the house.
