G, however, couldn't help laughing softly at the response. "Renko, seriously? You've known me for what? Six years now? Since before Sam and I were ever partnered. When have I ever given away information just for the asking? I protect my team, even if that means keeping a few details from the higher ups. I did it at home. I did it on the base. And I'd have done it for you."
Shaking his head, he looked at Renko out of the corner of his eye. "I'll let you in on some of the things no one sees. When we started this a year ago, Morgan and I fought constantly because I wouldn't share pretty much anything he didn't need to know. There are things he still doesn't know because it's safer for the others involved if he doesn't. There are people on this ranch whose full powers are not known to anyone but me and Sam because that's what's required to protect them. If you've overheard as much as I suspect you have, then you know that's true."
The man would have heard his sessions with Marty, after all. He might not know the details and a lot of the 'conversation' might be taking place mentally these days, but G was pretty sure an intelligent investigator could put two and two together without counting on his toes.
"And Sam had to come to you to get that information," G pointed out. "Estimates are fine for awhile, but we can't plan strategy on guesswork efficiently, not when it's a group this large and most of the people involved will never have the level of skill the three of us do. You can hear a baby's heartbeat from a quarter mile or so away. What does that translate to in terms of how far away you can hear a Sikorsky coming in? How much filtering are you capable of? Can you pinpoint a whisper in a crowded room for instance? We know you're more sensitive to light. When your vision heals, will you even need NVGs? Do you see details better at a distance? How far? Do you see more colors or fewer? Pick up motion faster like a hawk? What about your other senses? Smell, taste, touch? You see where I'm going with this? It's about more than how many people you can hear having sex each night."
