Gwen manages to stay quiet through all of that, though a part of her badly wants to interrupt her and inform her in no uncertain terms that there is no way in hell she is letting her walk in there, under any circumstances. She glances past Suzie momentarily to Sam, searching his face for any sign that she's being less than truthful, but there's not a wince, not a grimace, and god damn it, she has a point.
When Suzie stops talking, Gwen stands up slowly, her hands on the desk, and says evenly without looking away from Suzie's face, "Sam, would you give us a moment?" He pauses a moment, eying her in concern, and then nods and steps out of the room, closing the door behind him. Gwen has no doubt that he'll be close enough that she can speak to him after this, but for now...
"Everyone who has gone in there so far has been knocked out, handcuffed to a wall, and tortured. Even Hart, and he was working with him! What makes you think that you'll be any different? There's a good chance he'll kill you before you can say two words to him, and then it won't matter what a manipulative bitch you are, you will be dead, and believe it or not, that bothers me!"
There's a massive, shadowy lion prowling around Suzie, growling quietly and constantly to herself, occasionally swinging close enough to bump her head against Suzie with a somewhat louder growl when she does. Jack is gone and they came so close to losing Tosh and she is not ready to let another of those under her protection go running off to die.
Every now and then, she casts Suzie a look like she's considering grabbing her by the scruff of the neck and just holding her until she gives up this insane plan. If a shadow could actually manage that, Suzie might have something to worry about.
