Daniel bristled at the name Alex. Thought went back to his mission with Ben and what Ben told him. "Alex Ripley? And he helped you? That doesn't seem like him at all," he said with the most neutral voice he could manage. He was certain it didn't work. After what he put Ben through, Daniel considered killing him for the betterment of everyone.
"Do you trust Alex?" he asked looking her in the eye. "If you do, I'm afraid I can't help you." No one voluntarily trusted Alex. It was his skill and he misused it better than anyone.
