"Humans can not be trusted!" Steven yells out into the crowed.

I arrived back in the vault twenty minutes ago, at first everybody was happy to see my, grateful I was still alive, and then all hell broke lose.

"You saw him, you heard what he said, he never touched me, he knew I had the knife and still trusted me."  I respond.

"I still don't trust him?" He repeats

"Then talk with him yourself" the idea first seems crazy, then I realize it's the solution

"We can go back into the lounge and talk, then you can see he can be trusted." I smile for the first time in days.

"Then what? I trust him what about the others?" He asks.

"What made you trust me?" I ask, remember is asked.

I don't get a reply right away, he just stands there looking at me

"Gideon trusted you, we trusted Gideon."

"And do you still trust me?" I'm getting somewhere I know it

"Yes." He says nodding his head

"I trust Simon, you trust me, there for you trust Simon too. And we go from there."

Steven walks over to me, and holds out his hand for me to shake

"Let's go talk to Simon."
