Clint nods agreement. "If we don't run into your friend, we might run into mine." And while he's less worried about S.H.I.E.L.D. trying to hurt either of them, while it might not be the worst thing that could happen, he'd rather they got away on their own so he can call Coulson and make his case on his own terms with some distance between them.

It's not that he doesn't trust his employers, but he's pretty sure it's only smart to not trust everyone. There's always the potential for a mole or someone with a vendetta against her of their own.
