It was like being caught in a damn foreign language film and the subtitles only worked half the time. Sam didn't have a clue what was going on except that they were in very, very deep trouble and Natalya was about to suffer for it. And there was nothing he could do.

He caught Natalya's look and struggled not to scream, hands tightening on the bars like he just might try to rip them from their place. Reason told him that there was nothing he could say either, not that would do any good and keep them out of further trouble. He kicked at the cell door and grit his teeth, a caged animal ready to kill.
