Elias shot Sierra a bewildered look. She was being so secretive. Dancing around giving a straight answer. Maybe she was overly nosy, but Elias never considered Jaxen's story to be anything but what it was. The man had power, and while Eli was not interested in hiding his, he understood if others didn't want to disclose theirs to the world. Tony was one such man, for instance, cautioning discretion all the guys every chance he had. So Elias wouldn't say anything about their shared power, but if directly asked, he had no reason to lie.
Sierra, on the other hand, owed Jaxen nothing. They weren't talking to reporters, they were speaking with a concerned mother. "What's with you? Just because we didn't see where he came from doesn't mean he was lying."
Elias shifted darkly sparkling eyes from her confusing answer back to Irina, whom seemed to demand forthrightness by her mere presence. Elias respected such a demanding aura. Few women in his experience possessed it. "He said he was kidnapped and had just gotten away."
Eli shrugged, "but he didn't say who had him. He was very surprised by the date. So where ever he was, he was off the grid."
Let Sierra glare all she wanted. Elias owed no loyalty to Jaxen, but still, there was no reason to be vague.
