11. Change Quotes (Henderson) “Charles Henderson didn’t feel great about having Marc alongside him. Before joining the Espionage Research Unit he’d been a naval intelligence officer and their training course gave strict instruction to never use kids” (Pg 210) “Don’t be bloody daft, boy. I wouldn’t dream of leaving you.” (Pg 289) Henderson realized that his companion was a touch blurry- eyed and he put an arm around the boy’s back. "Did you think I’d abandon you after everything we’ve been through?” (Pg 290)
