The man in black squinted his eyes at Elliot, a shadowy figure against the dim light.
"I refuse to answer these questions," he finally said.
Elliot frowned.
"Look, kid," the man continued, "there are things too big for you to understand right now. All you need to know is that I'm here to be your guardian, your protector. I'm not here to cause harm."
"But if you want to be our guardian, why keep your identity a secret?" Elliot pressed.
"When the time's right, I'll reveal all. Next question."
Biting back frustration, Elliot asked, "Did you know my mom was pregnant with Tarquin's child right from the start?"
"Yes," the man simply replied.
"How?"
"I knew everything that happened at the airport that day."
Evan, who had been silently listening, couldn't hold back. "So you knew when my mom was being harassed by that jerk Tarquin?!"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you help her?"
The man shrugged. "I didn't know her back then. Why would I intervene? What happened to her was none of my business."
"You..."
Elliot, irritation mounting, asked, "So you're familiar with her now?"
The man smirked. "Very."
"And does my mom know you?"
"Trying to pry information out of me, eh?" The man chuckled. "So eager to figure out who I am? Next question."
