Athena, Drista and Freddie were all eating lunch together in the cafeteria, which made the tomboy notice something.

"Hey, where's Dustin and Adrian?" she asked, taking a bite out of her sandwich. "It's pretty quiet without those two and I thought they'd be here by now."

"I think Adrian said something about an interrogation... he told me earlier today." the peacekeeper then looked around. "Now that you mention it, where is Dustin?"

"Athena, you know anything about where Dustin is?" the tomboy asked.

"I haven't seen him at all." the researcher responded, glancing to the side. "I had heard nothing from him."

"That's... peculiar." the peacekeeper commented. "Surely, he would've said something or heard about him by now."

"Yeah, and you're the person he's closest to, Athena." the tomboy took another bite. "Where the hell could he be?"

"Hey, can I ask you two something?" the researcher spoke up.

"Yeah, of course, Athena." the peacekeeper nodded. "What is it?"

"You... you wouldn't mind if I ask you two for some assistance, right?" the researcher asked. "I'll be having this interview shortly, and I want you two by my side for security reasons."

"Alright, I'm all in." the tomboy spoke up, then asked. "We're not dealing with anything that can kill us in one go, right?"

"No, nothing like that." the researcher shook her head. "There are already some security measures in place, but you two would make things even more secure."

"I mean, if it makes you feel safe, then sure." the peacekeeper agreed. "When will this interview start anyway?"

"After lunch..." the researcher answered. "We don't have to rush to get there. We can take our time before going."

"Alright..." the tomboy finished her sandwich. "Man, that was it..."

"Hey, Drista."

The peacekeeper handed a sandwich to the tomboy, which surprised her.

"I had a feeling that you'd still be hungry..." the peacekeeper explained. "So, I got you another one."

"Thanks, Freddie..." the tomboy said as she took the sandwich from him, slightly blushing as she did so. "I didn't think you'd do this for me."

"It's no problem at all, Drista..." the peacekeeper smiled.

"Aren't you two sweet together?" the researcher spoke up.

"Yeah... I suppose so..." the peacekeeper chuckled and smiled.

"Are you sure you will all be fine by yourselves?"

"Yes, Jaina, we'll be fine."

"Well, if you're sure, then good luck." Durham then walked towards the door and open it. "If you have any trouble, notify me immediately."

"Right, got it."

With that, the researcher left the observation room, leaving the three inside. The room was spacious, with a lengthy desk running from end to end, dividing the entire room.

The rooms had a eighty to twenty ratio, with the observation room being the smaller room for easier access to the door, in case of any danger.

Along with the desk were two chairs, placed across from each other, an observation divider of reinforced steel, in which part of it was a reinforced rectangular glass pane, effectively dividing the room and allowing those in either sides of the room to acknowledge each other's presence. There was a microphone and speaker in both rooms, with a recorder and a security panel in the observation room.
