"Now shut up and stay there!" 

Lennox was pushed into a chair before having the sack ripped off her head. Her eyes were instantly blinded by the lightbulb hanging above her. The light showed the two girls in front of her, one with red hair and the other with brown hair falling out from under their masks. The only red-haired sister was Lily, so that solved that. But Lennox had to go by the style of clothing to figure out that the second girl was Harriet. She squinted up at the lightbulb for a second time. 

"Kidnapping. Original." She looked away from the light, down at her bound wrists. 

"What did I just say? Be quiet." Harriet scowled. 

"Or what?" Lennox retorted blankly. 

She wasn't trying to be cocky, she was genuinely curious as to what they would do. 

"You will speak when spoken to. You want to be a Delta Psi pledge?" 

"Not particularly, if I'm being honest." She sighed, doing her best to itch her nose with her hands bound together as the girls looked at her in surprise. 

"You don't?" 

But instead of indulging them, Lennox decided to taunt them. 

"Oh don't let me throw you off, don't you have...like a little routine or something?" 

"Well yeah, but," 

"No buts, I'll play along, how's this? Help! Somebody help me please!" 

She tilted her head with an eyebrow up as if to say 'was that okay?', and the girls just looked at each other in confusion before Lily shook her head. 

"This is ridiculous, everybody wants to be a Delta Psi. We're in charge here, so you're gonna listen to what you have to do if you want to get out of here, you got it?" 

"Absolutely." 

"And no more mocking us!" 

At that Lennox put her hands up, which made Lily take a deep breath before getting right in Lennox's face. 

"You're gonna sit here and answer all of our questions, do you understand me? You got ten hours left on the clock dummy. If you can make it through the most intense interrogation of your life, then you might just stand a chance at making it through initiation week." 

She stood up, stepping back from Lennox, who was tempted to let out a laugh. They didn't need to know that she'd been interrogated by the police multiple times before, and was pretty proud of her ability to stay quiet. 

"Dummy was a nice touch." 

"Shut it! And thank you."
