Sinclair jumps about a foot in the air when Jack appears in the room, and crushing and burning the Accu-Vox against the wall doesn't help.
He looks at Jack when he speaks, gets a full view of his face and every little emotion that flickers across it. And yes, the predominant one is fear, next is anger, but it's mostly fear. That in itself answers a question or two.
But after another moment of silence, Sinclair obediently departs. Jack is angry, but it's hard to tell how angry exactly. If Sinclair just found a sore spot, he's more than found it, he's dug his fingers in deep. And he's not sure how deep he would have to go, even by complete accident, before Jack decides to stop him.
He quickly makes his way back to Ryan's office and positions himself at the far end of the room, staring out of the window in an attempt to make sense of everything that just happened. He hasn't been thrown for a loop like this one since... possibly ever. He's usually clued in on things this big, projects and the like. Fontaine was a boastful man, something as successful as mind control should have leaked out eventually.
And Tenenbaum was up on that board. She already knew. She knew, but she was protecting Jack. And Jack thinks she doesn't care.
Sinclair waits for the sound of Jack's footsteps behind him. They need to talk. Jack's not going to want to at all, but they need to.
