"It's probably a trap. If not for us, then for them. I don't trust them, but they're all we've got for in-home resistance. If we could trace their signal...get anything else on them, I'd feel a little better. If they're for real, though...then they're thinking the same about us."
Basically 'not much' with a side of frustration at the lack of tools he might normally have back home.
"If they come through on what they're offering, we can decide if the information was worth it. Even if we give 'em what we find, we should be careful. They could just as easily give us real information to get our guards down, then stab us in the back later."
Part of him sort of hated this was how he thought these days. Years with the NSA, thinking like a spy and acting like an agent had made things a lot more complicated than those years he just threw himself at a problem without thinking, the risks be damned.
