Natasha nods. She's not going to argue this right now. She knows what would have happened to Alex back in Moscow, but that was a long way away and the people here liked to maintain pretensions of being less corrupt.

"Give me a number and I'll let Kyle know you're alive, and safe for the time being." That seems to be the other thing on Alex's mind. Maybe she'll sleep better knowing that. For her side, Natasha knows a Kyle, but she's not going to leap to conclusions that he and Alex know one another. Even if they have similar attitudes about vampires.
