"It's not too late to choose the right side."

"I already have."

Instead of lockup I've been lead through to the same interrogation room I'd once brought Bellamy. I've now been cuffed to the table, the cuffs around my wrists scrapping at the tender skin. The camera in the corner moves every now and again which tells me that someone is observing me in here. How long they've been watching I cannot tell you. With no windows, it's hard to keep a grip on time although my gurgling stomach would be telling me it's about time for dinner. No matter how hungry I've become I don't let it show. I maintain the same smirk hitched on my lips. A perfect image of defiance.

Door buzzing open I allow my gaze to wander, eyeing Pike off when he takes a seat in front of me. Clasping his hands in front of him, Pike asks, "Care to tell me how you snuck Clarke Griffin and Octavia Blake out of this camp?"

Continuing to hold the smirk on my face I mimic his pose, leaning forwards "You said it before...I'm an intelligent girl."

Chuckling, Pike shakes his head "This isn't intelligent Avery. It's reckless."

"I think it's up to interpretation."

For a moment Pike watches me calculatedly. I see him send a look back to the camera over his shoulder before he goes back to watching me carefully. "You tasered your boyfriend to help them escape", Pike concludes "Why should I not treat this as a treasonous case?"

"Because I'm going to escape well before you come to your judgment", I reply coolly to Pike. Nodding up to the ceiling I notice, "Vents are locked down in here which means you know about why I was included in the hundred."

"I'm not taking any chances with you", Pike answers me just as blatantly "Not when you can tell us what Clarke's planning with the Grounders."

Scoffing I shake my head, laughing towards the ceiling "I wouldn't hold your breath Pike."

He stares at me for a long moment, completely unwavering as if he thinks he can make me crack under his gaze. Proving him wrong I slowly sit back, refusing to look away until he is standing. Walking to the door I observe him knock twice before it opens. Peering through the doorway I count three guards. Whether they are there all the time I wouldn't know but I could certainly assume they had someone on door duty.
