Seth half-shrugs. "Protection? Like you said, murder and bodily harm." He eats some chips, as if considering. "And sometimes there's people they don't want contacting the outside world." He's doing really well at skirting around the issue today. Although he expects he'll tell Johnny eventually, if they become friends. Or maybe Gabe will, inadvertently or intentionally once he hears they're becoming friends. (He's still refusing to really acknowledge the idea that Gabe won't come back.)
