( The Underground is always moving It is everywhere it needs to be and nowhere it once was. Jackson has had a rewarding run so far, a whirlwind romance he didn't see coming, and a few new friends. ...Well, people who tolerate him, who are as rough around the edges and even less warm. For a group of people hell bent on helping others, they're not personable themselves.
Julian volunteered to be undercover. A recent recruit friend-of-a-family-friend, Julian didn't fit in like Jackson did. Julian smiled. He worried about what happened to their clients after they relocated. He cared. And while Jackson and the others cared, they didn't wear it on their sleeves. They didn't live with it. And, if they did, they didn't talk about it. They talked about what was in front of them, they helped, they got out.
Until this job is done, they can't leave. No man left behind, even when that man is undercover. Jackson thinks he burned out. He took it too far, got invested and now they don't know what's happening. Their scries can't sense him, and now his sister on the warpath is on her way down.
For the record, Jackson voted against him coming on. Someone that Scott McCall had something he was hiding. Something dark. (Scott McCall's his litmus test for genuineness. There's Scott and then there's everyone else.) )

We should cut our losses.
