"I'm not asking you to speak for him," I point out. I've spoken with Barnes already, learned everything that I can for the moment from that man's point-of-view. "I'm asking for reassurance. He's a close friend of my son, Steve."
Plenty of people aren't fond of me; plenty of people would rather I disappear off the face of the Earth, if they had their way. That's not what I care about. I've never needed people to like me, and I don't even need them to always listen. But Jason is a more sensitive matter than most.
