The air seemed to solidify, the silence so thick it was suffocating.
"What's up? Got some guessing now?" Jones broke the silence.
"You're saying Damon and Ethan teamed up against my dad?" I finally voiced my unthinkable suspicion, "You think I'd believe that?"
"Why would Damon still be in contact with Ariel, why would he be with Ethan?" Jones shot back, a little nervously, "Why would you come here instead of just believing him?"
I sprang to my feet, my chest heaving with agitation, "Just spit it out, don't pressure me!"
"I'm not pressuring you, I just want you to see the truth, instead of being fooled by him." Jones returned my gaze, his voice heavy.
"If you're suggesting Damon and Ethan teamed up against my dad, what proof have you got? Why would he do that?" I forced myself to calm down, settling back down.
Since I was here, I had to clear things up.
