"No, I didn't. I said that you needed alternative routes. I never specified for what, because I assumed that people by now would know what they are for," Sam answered. "April, if they don't want to kill you, they aren't following you. If they want to kill you, then you aren't coming back. Never in my mind, did I think that a route is unsafe for any other reason. If you aren't able to take out any criminal, no matter how well armed, at this point, then I've screwed up with training. Other than a trained group of soldiers, there's no gang, no organized crime unit, no terrorist that you shouldn't be able to take down."
Sam looked at her. "Then what's the point of having alternative routes to the safehouse if other people don't know them. It's your job to make sure that this doesn't get in someone's hands. The way you do it is by identifying train stations, lines, distance to the path. I think everyone by now should know how to steal a car or how to drive?" That reminded him to make sure that the new people knew how to get there. "You should know how often the trains run, how many lines there are at each stop. There might be a stop that's closer, but hiding and going a few extra blocks might bring you to a station with multiple lines. You're listing escape routes, but then the team leaders need to know how to get there. The person in charge might even give you a secondary location in case of a real emergency, so place where to regroup before going to the safehouse. That would override everything you've planned. That's why you do have someone in charge, someone who can read the situation and change the plans to reflect the situation at hand. You might have to go North, and backtrack because there's no direct way, especially now that the bridges are policed."
