"April, the fact that I think he will become a criminal and so will you is not based on who you are, but what life will make you do," he said with a sigh.
"No money, no birth certificates, no documents, no license. How do you get those in a world where we have no money and no contacts?" he asked. "This isn't about safe and happy with the team at all. I don't think it will be easy or happy for you or Eliot for a long time. In a way, I think it would be easier for Nate, because he didn't have the strong connections so they resent him less. This is about being clear what the options are when you make those choices."
He looked at Eliot again. "You've never been punished, but you have to accept that things change. Your eyesight, your contacts, the political situation back home. You can't afford to storm out when something isn't the way you like it. You need to think things through, and you, even better than April, should know what it's like to disappear from the scene for years. How many contacts will not be there? How many will not trust a man who's disappeared for years? Where you in jail? Did you flip? That's if we get home. Anywhere else, you don't have any contact. I'm just saying that you think about it."
