That isn't something he's particularly excited to hear, not with his own experience with corruption. It worries him and his mouth tightens a little as he looks over at Karen, wondering if she would at least allow him to help her. Having fought side by side with Root and Shaw and Carter, he knows better than to ever suggest she might need his protection, but with two people on the same team, at least there's less of a chance of someone simply disappearing.

"Keep me updated," he says. "Please. If someone knows where you are when you're there, if someone knows what you're looking into..." He doubts he needs to say it. Karen had been through enough that she won't be surprised by where his thoughts have gone. He's only being realistic. Corruption that goes that far up will do anything to keep itself hidden and that includes getting rid of someone asking the wrong questions.

"It's safer that way," he finishes.
