Even if it was Mike, this wasn't a movie—there was no way Mike could do anything to him here and get away with it.
That would be foolish. Kyle was safest here, but there was nothing he could do if he was caught lacking outside.
Mike had already demonstrated that he could take a life without batting an eye, but Kyle wasn't sure he could do the same.
Kyle was frightened by this prospect and knew that it was one thing he wouldn't be able to foresee, as it was his emotions speaking for him.
