Jane frowned a bit as Dirk spoke up, eyes narrowing. She gave a little shake of her head with Jake's words and rubbed her chin, remembering the way the Striders' elevator seemed to be functioning whenever Dirk was the one operating it, and remembering how hard it had been to catch up with him lately. "... Remember Jake, this is Strider we are dealing with, here. If he had anything to hide, do you think he'd be telling these strangers anything when he wouldn't even fill us in?" She shook her head again. "... He's here to observe and listen, not talk for himself."
