Angelina fidgeted nervously while everyone gathered in the Command Center. When they were all there, she didn't notice. She was too anxious.
Antauri cleared his throat, catching her attention. "Angelina, can you tell us what you found?"
"Well… I…" Angelina stammered. What was she doing? She barely knew these people. Chiro wasn't begging her to tell them. He had said it was her choice. But they did care about Chiro as much as she did…
"You do not have to share your discovery with us if you do not want to, Angelina." Antauri assured her. "While we would like to hear what you have to say, it is not required that you tell us."
Nova spoke up. "Why are we letting Antauri speak for us? We all desperately want to know what Angelina found out."
Antauri glared at her.
"What? It's true." She defended.
Angelina bit her lower lip. How could she say no now?
"Nova, don't make her nervous!" Jinmay scolded. "Antauri's right. Angelina doesn't have to tell us if she doesn't want to."
"He said I have that choice." Angelina murmured. Everyone turned to look at her. "He said I didn't have to if I didn't want to, but how can I say no?"
"It really is up to you, Angelina." Antauri interrupted her outspoken thoughts. "You can say no if you want to."
Angelina gulped and then made her decision. "Chiro must've been keeping it a secret from you for a reason. Maybe I'll tell you when I know you better, but not now."
Everyone, except Antauri, groaned.
"That is a very wise decision, Angelina." Antauri told her. "Since you don't know us well, it would be very foolish to spill a secret your brother obviously didn't want us to know."
Angelina smiled in relief at the approval.
"Maybe it's wise, but it's also aggravating." Nova grumbled. "We want to know what's going on. Chiro was like family to us too."
"I'm starting to wonder if Chiro felt the same way." Gibson mumbled. "What with all these secrets he kept from us."
"I'm going upstairs." Angelina announced. "I need to be alone."
