Mitchell was really good at lying, but he didn't want to do that now. He gave Henry a shrug. "It's not always easy," he admitted. "Actually, it pretty much is never easy. But I don't have anywhere else to go. I think that must be the same for you too. Everyone here seems a little...um... Out of options."

But that made this sound more like a orphanage. And it wasn't. At all.

"We do good work here. We're paid really fantastically well... We have each other-- And our demons. I can't say I'm happy here, Henry, but I wasn't happy back home either. Fact, I think I was just about to die there."

Funny. Jack seemed to do that to people. He plucked them up when everything would have changed for the worse.
