Michael's building outrage deflated with that. "Sounds like Kyle's uncle's an asshole who needs to mind his own business then."
"Yeah. And you love things that don't make sense," Michael said, giving him a wry little smile. It was something they had in common, even if they approached and reacted to it very differently. They both liked to understand what they were dealing with.
He darted his eyes to the side too when Alex looked away. He got it. He'd want Alex to get out of here too, but still hate it if it happened when Michael was still here. He'd probably felt that way when the last version of him, or clone, or unmemory-wiped version of him was here and then not. "Real wasn't any better in those movies. The real part was shitty food and really shitty sequels."
"I don't think you're LYING, Alex. I just don't know what the hell to think yet. About anything." And yeah maybe he could do the mind thing Isobel could too, if he tried hard enough, but he didn't really want to, either. "I still know you well enough to know when you're lying." He looked down to look at Alex's hand on his. "Get me there for what? Just so we're on the same page while we're abducted?"
