"Some people are just good at it. The only reason I learned to resist was constantly reminding myself that the world and people around me were terrible. But MI6 set you up when you were willing, made you vulnerable, and those that came later were well practiced in taking advantage of that."
He turned to pick up a box of what looked like toys. He tried to shake the concern of what that meant (there had been kids here) and rifled through until he found something with a crank that he could disassemble later. A little twist timer he could make.
"They weren't actually stronger than you."
Why the hell he was reassuring his murderer, it was anyone's guess. But that hardly mattered anywhere. So far they'd been decent allies (as far as allies go). Even fairly friendly. And sometimes Kaz still remembered what it was like being tortured by the Russians. They might have been able to get to him, except at the time he was in so much pain it seemed funny the'd even try. He had been able to tether himself to the here and now.
