"Jack's dead," the response is immediate, like this isn't the first time he's said it. Somehow both firm and dispassionate in his tone. That's just the truth of the matter, and he's not interested in discussing it.

There's the briefest moment of hesitation, but then Jack slips past her to move further into the room, at this point just trying to get around her so he can leave. This is a bust, he's going to have to go to ground and form a new plan. He needs that information, but... He can't bring himself to hurt Milly, even if it's just to knock her out. Raiden doesn't think it'd be any trouble, but she'd fight him, he knows she would.
