All's Fair

Amor Triangulum

A/n:  Question:  What really is a love triangle?  

Is it two boys in love with one girl?  

One girl unable to decide between two boys?  

Is it one boy puts a girl in an underwater prison far away and the other boy has no clue what is going on?  

Guess it's up to everyone to decide on their own!

Nora's POV at Coral Grove...

It's been four hours since I woke up. I've met only one other inmate because she lives in the cell across from mine. And even though she's the ex- Vice Principal who did the Prank, she's the closest thing to an ally I have right now. Lunch was already served to us. Good meat, some veggies and water, plus for me some medicine. The hazmats here can actually talk, and it told me to take it to help with my recovery. I figured they were pain-killers, which would be good to help me fall asleep later.

After the trays are taken away, Wurst walks in and goes right up to my cell. "Good afternoon, Nora." And he's still pretty sore about the interrogation this morning.

"Hey." I greet him. I'm already pretty bored with this place. Aside from talking to VP Victoria, there's purposely nothing to do! I can't sit still!!!

"Nora," said Wurst-clone, "It has come to my attention that no matter what I say or do to you, you will not be answering our questions."

"Really?" I ask. "What gave me away?"

"Well, in the interrogation room you-" short pause and... "Dah! Again!"

I nearly cracked up.

"More importantly, it appears that due to your earlier behavior a new form of questioning is in order."

"You're going to test my statement to stand torture?" I challenged. I am nervous about that. I've scolded Lee before on taking his banter to far, but when I had said I could take it, I meant it. I'd just have to remember that the consequences of telling them anything would result in them hurting someone I was currently unable to protect. Including Dad, Lee, Jenny, Biffy, Tina or any of the others.

Wurst held up his hands in surprise. "Oh, heavens no! I'm not a barbarian, Nora. Actually there are strict orders here not to harm you while you are a captive."

"Huh?" I'm a captive that can't be hurt?

"Unless you try escaping." He clarifies. "Then you are an escapee and we can fire the crystal-lasers at you."

"Swell..."

Wurst snaps his fingers and two hazmats come up behind him. One holding a toolbox, and the other holding... a flat screen? The force field goes down and the two hazmats begin attaching the T.V. screen to the ceiling of my cell so it would hang down. Wurst enters the cell too and stands by me. Like he could stop me from breaking past him.

"No tricks now." He wags a finger at me.

I respond. "Broken rib, remember?"

I lean to the side to get a better view of Miss Victoria and send her a confused stare. She returns an equally confused shrug and continues watching. As the hazmats finish screwing the last bits to the ceiling I talk to the Wurst standing in the room.

"I...didn't ask for a T.V. at any time. You know that right?"

"Ah, yes. The one request. No, this is from one of our higher ups. Did you have a request?"
