You can choose to either recruit Mervin or Lena as your crew's muscle. If you recruit him, you can build up his trust in you. If his trust is high enough, in Chapter 14 he will say that it's important to him to tell you that he feels you have bonded on your journey together.

Samira Yazdi
If Jones and Samira Yazdi are both on your team, he will say that her Blackbird voice is frightening and that he suggests doing yoga or tai chi. In Chapter 14, they will work together to get her inside the building. He dresses up as a guard and pretends to take her to the holding cell. When he has to knock out one of the guards, he apologizes to her that she had to see that. She will reply that it was one of the better ways of taking him out. The other method would have put too much pressure on the spine. He will be thankful hearing it.
