Chapter 24: Captive Conspiracies.

Outside of the 'interrogation chamber', Cassie and Lizzie are sitting by themselves, waiting, as they have been for the better part of the night, ever since the end of Chapter 8.

"...do you think Ivor's coming back?" Cassie questions.

"Sooner or later, I suppose." Lizzie answers.

Silence.

"...Stampy's interrogation is taking a really long time." Cassie remarks "if all three of your interrogations take this long, it'll be noon tomorrow by the time we're finished."

"You realize Lukas isn't going to get a fucking interrogation, right?" Lizzie snaps, bitter.

"...yeah." Cassie admits.

"And you realize that Stampy isn't even being interrogated either, don't you?" Lizzie snarls.

Cassie looks at Lizzie in surprise, "What!?"

"You realize what Stampy IS doing right now, correct!?" Lizzie hisses.

"N-no!" Cassie stammers, backing away from Lizzie "what are you talking about?"

"Would you LIKE to know?" Lizzie asks.

"...okay." Cassie rasps.

"He's DEAD, that's what!" Lizzie growls, turning towards the door "it's bloody obvious at this point, you were right: Lukas DID push the button! he's the killer, and so is Jesse, Ivor, and the other girl, they've been picking us off one by one, Stampy's dead, Stacy's dead, and now Dan's dying... and I'm next."

"W-why are you telling me this?" Cassie blinks "how do you know?"

"They've, been, 'interrogating' Stampy for HOURS, Cassie!" Lizzie spits in disgust "and they keep dragging other people in there, one at a time, never to be seen again! tell me, have we seen Stampy since he went in? no! have we seen Stacy? no! and have we seen Dan?"

"W-well..." Cassie thinks about it "we've seen... Ivor... he's gone in and out..."

"Ivor is WITH THEM, STUPID, I JUST SAID-!" Lizzie stops aruptly to try to get a grip "and have we HEARD them? the answer is actually 'yes', and what did we hear, Cassie?"

"We... did hear... um..." Cassie awkwardly remembers "some... screaming...?"

"Exactly, and WHY would they be screaming, Cassie?" Lizzie demands.

"Because... uh..." Cassie thinks about it "Jesse's being... thorough, in the... interrogation...?"

WHACK! Lizzie slaps Cassie across the face, knocking her to the floor, "are you even listening to me!?"

"St-stay away...!" Cassie whines as she crawls backwards "oh god, you're the killer, aren't you!? don't touch me, if you kill me they'll know you did it! Ivor will be back soon, you'll never get away with it!"

"Fucking...!" Lizzie considers just taking out a weapon and killing Cassie if the redheaded dumbshit wasn't going to be any help, but she refrains "NO, Cassie, they're the killers, and I need you to work with me against them so we can get out of here alive, otherwise they're just going to kill me, and then they'll kill you right after!"

Little does Lizzie know it, but of course, CASSIE is the killer, and she's just playing dumb in order to make herself less suspicious, which is pretty unnecessary, since she's already flying way under the radar, but she feels like it just perfects the act if she can make herself seem so paranoid, so fear-stricken, that she'll make 100% certain accusations almost randomly and inconsistently.

"You wouldn't shut up earlier about how Lukas did it!" Lizzie snarls with contempt "and now that I come out and tell you that you were right, you switch to accusing me!?"

"N-n-no!" Cassie starts, glaring up at Lizzie "you attacked me!"

"I hit you because I thought it might knock some sense into that chaotic mindset you're displaying." Lizzie explains "I am NOT killing you, because I, am not, the killer! LUKAS is, remember Lukas!?"

"Uh... y-yeah..." Cassie nods "h-he is the killer...?"

"YES." Lizzie insists.

"B-but Jesse and the others aren't." Cassie asserts "they can't be."

"...what?" Lizzie hisses.

"There can only be ONE killer!" Cassie claims "the button was only pushed once!"

"Because, Cassie, Lukas was the only member of their group who had a seat with a button at it!" Lizzie reminds, "they probably planned it out so that only one of them would have a button seat in order to deflect suspicion!"

"...oh." Cassie rubs the back of her neck uncertainly "well... we know Ivor can't be one of them."

"Why...?" Lizzie doesn't even know what the fuck anymore.

"Because, Lizzie, we've seen the good in him." Cassie explains "he doesn't know what they're doing in there either, he got so angry that they haven't finished, he kept knocking on the door, and the whole time he's been out here, he's... protected us."

"He's BEEN in there! of course he knows what they're doing!" Lizzie argues, "maybe they're taking longer than he wanted and he's afraid that we're gonna catch on and rebel, maybe he knew that they'd take this long and has just acted confused and frustrated to make us less suspicious, maybe he himself legitimately doesn't even want to have any part in the actual killing, but one thing's for sure, Cass, and that's the fact that he's seen with his own eyes what's been happening in that room, and has no intention of helping either us out of it, or even telling us what they've done, his one and only interest is to sit out here with us until they've finished with the others, and then usher in the last two of us, one at a time, and finish the job once and for all, do you understand?"

Silence.

"...what are we going to do?" Cassie questions, defeated "just tell me my job, and it's done."

"FINALLY." Lizzie's relieved "now here's the plan: when one of them, probably Ivor because he's the only one not covered in blood, comes out to get me, I'll start to obey, but then I'll suddenly resist, and we'll take him hostage, if we can use him to bargain our way out, we do that, if not, we slit his throat and fight our way through the others, are you prepared to do that, Cassie?"

"Y-yes, Lizzie." Cassie nods "I'll be ready, you can count on me..."

WHOO! Congratulations, person who voted for #4! You got it right! They are plotting to lead a revolution against Jesse's group, but will they succeed? Only time will tell.

For now, why don't we go back to focusing on what everybody REALLY cares about? the GENDER ASS COMPARISON CONTEST! That's this week's poll! Which, for once, has a strict binary choice!

"Which ass do you think will win the gender ass comparison?"

Stacy's female ass vs. Dan's male ass.

Yes, that's right, folks, there WILL be a winner! No ties to be found here, no sir!

There's so much to consider! Whose skin is softer? Whose hole is tighter? Whose ass is more ecstatically pleasing to look at as it bounces on Lukas' cock? This is truly, a battle of legendary proportions. Vote now!
