"So Rose, you've been here for 5 years, am I correct?" He continued.

"They say you've never make any trouble, but instead you talk to yourself. My research tells me otherwise.You don't talk to yourself, but talk to someone YOU only can see."

His glasses laid on the tip of his nose as he help up the pen, ready to write.

His wrinkly old face concentrated at her squinted his wrinkly eyes.

"May you tell me something about you little friend, dear?"

His voice sounded old, but calm and gentle.Her lips parted and her mouth opened, but no words came out.Her grey eyes looked over her shoulder as if someone was talking to her.She gave a small nod, before her eyes landed back to the old man.Her expression were cold and emotionless, but that didn't scare him. His pencil were placed on a blank page in his old notebook, ready to write.She smirked.

"No can do." 

Her voice were suprisingly hoarse and cold as she was.She breathed and light smoke escaped her mouth.He was a bit taken back at the answer, but sighed.He cleared his throat,  giving her a smile before answered.

"Why not?"

Her eyes once again looked at the right before turning back to him.The expression were more darker and she looked like she was possessed.

"Because we don't want you to know."

He had begun to wrote it down but  stopped suddenly.

"We?" He furrowed his shaggy eyebrows.

Her eyes traveled from his shirt, up to his left ear where she obviously saw the mic and plug. She looked down on the table, seeing some kind of mixtape that recorded. Not only that but she knew that a tiny camera was hidden behind her in the corner of the room, having a perfect view to them. She looked around. No windows and it was freezing cold.

She shrugged.

He didn't want to give up so he continued to ask questions.

"Why can't you tell me, I won't tell anyone."

She rolled her eyes, pointing with her small index finger at his shirt where the mic sticked up from his green polo shirt.

He followed the index and saw the mic. He quickly hid the mic and smiled comforting to her.

"That's nothing, I need it to hear better." He laughed nervous.

Lie...

The finger moved further up to his left ear where he touched the plug.

"I told you, I need it to hear better."

Lie...

She then took the recorded tape, trying to destroy it, but he was quick enough to take it from her.

"Don't touch that please." His voice were shaky and she knew something fishy was going on.

She then turned around where she saw the camera. 

Obviously she tilted her small head before looking back at him.

"Lie." Was the only word she said and nothing more.
