for ben

[His posture says it all: concerned, tense, but not afraid for his own safety. Not afraid at all. He's leaning towards the camera, though, like he can express worry just by being closer.]

Hey, Ben? I'm worried about you. Can you check in with me?

Which means you're helping. He's my friend.

Go to hell.

[It's knee-jerk, he can't not say it. But once he's said it, he realizes he meant it.]

[His next words are enunciated carefully: a declaration.]

I don't get my people killed.

I'll get you what you need to know.

[Not yelled after Zack; he doesn't care if he hears. He's saying it for himself. This is also a declaration - that his dislike for Zack has less than nothing to do with helping Ben. He'll do what he needs to do regardless.]
