Two questions about 4.1 and 4.2

[Crisitos]

Well actually the questions are really stupid Sorry.

I remember that in “I spy apocalypse” Tom and Zoey have an argument about the guns, that they are not allow to used guns unless they are high level agents. But in the episode you see Adam and Zaf chasing the American agent with guns, and I don’t know if I’m wrong but I though that Tom was higher level agent than Adam. So why they have guns, and with Tom and Zoey it's seems like something huge for them?

And the other question, in any of the books they mentioned about Zoey and Tom been informed them about Danny’s dead?
