"Perhaps," she replied, conceding only that for the moment. "Or maybe the rest of the crew just knows that I am more than capable of taking care of myself."
She paused as she folded her arms across her chest defensively. "Then again, I could say the same about you. Like you said, the crew is scared. They all have a 'pack mentality.' All except, it would seem, you and me. But the crew knows I'm here. They know what I can do. They know who I am. But not you. I've never seen you in any of the meetings. Never heard anyone talk or even think about you.
"But then, here you are. You show up out of nowhere, lie to me and give me a fake name, and then tell me that you can't tell me who you are. And, on top of it, you're actively trying to keep me from scanning you and finding out for myself. I think a better question, Mr. Matches, is what or who are you afraid of. What, and why, are you hiding?"
