Elliot glared at Ducis who in return lowered his eyes, and bowed his head in dejection.
"Elliot….," he called him in a soft voice. After pausing for a few seconds, he looked straight to Elliot's eyes and answered him. "Yes, there are indeed some things I have not told you yet. And that is simply because the time has not come yet. I know that this may sound unreasonable, but please, I need you to trust me on this. I mean no harm to you."
"How can I trust you when you've been hiding things from me all along?" Elliot's voice raised as he grew furious with Ducis' answer.
"Elliot, I - ," Ducis tried to tap his shoulder but he shoved his hands away in disgust. If there's anything Elliot didn't like, that would be lying in his face and Ducis knew that more than anyone else.
"Yes, we WILL trust you," Rania interrupted as she tapped Elliot's shoulder. She looked straight into his eyes and smiled, then turned to Ducis to affirm him.
