"You don't know me." Obviously. "Why help me?"
She's waiting for the other shoe to drop, the catch that will explain it all. Nothing comes for free in this world or any other, and Hales fall into traps like this all too easily. She doesn't want to accept help and wind up selling her soul, not that she thinks Alek would ask that of her.
