Chapter 6
Sorry I was gone for so long! I've been busy and suffering from writer's block!
Noah hesitantly opened the door to Rex's room and looked both ways before walking out and down the hall, turning a left, where a shady black figure leaned against the wall. The blonde teenager jumped at the sight of Seven and discreetly glanced over his shoulder.
"Heeey Seeeveeen! What're you doing in this corridor?" Noah tried to say unsuspiciously.
"I live in this sector. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be busy playing video games with Rex, eating pizza, and what not?" Seven raised a stoic eyebrow.
"Uh no. No. Not at all, I was just going to get some soda, y'now, Friday's kinda game night." Noah paused.
"Yeah." Seven cocked a hip, "A word Noah. A word."
"Um well, I kinda got to hurry back with the pop, maybe later-" Noah was cut off by Seven banking down another hallway, and throwing him into an interrogation room with blacked out window.
"Sit down." Seven yanked out the chair, strolled around the room to the opposite wall and leaned against it, hair falling over her eyes.
Noah walked over to the chair and sat down, before scooting in a few times to the table. The male fell under Seven's icy blue eyed stare. Seven cleared her throat and began her cross-examination, "Noah Nixon. Blonde. Caucasian. Former affiliations; Providence. Age; 16. Gender; male. Criminal records; none. Noah if my observations, analyzations, and accuracy is correct, you entered Providence at approximately 15:48:26 PM Eastern standard time. At 16:57:49 PM I do believe you entered my personal quarters when unauthorized by none other than me. How do you plead?" Seven cracked her knuckles.
"Not guilty." Noah leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
"Your reasons? For I am led to believe otherwise. What's your alibi?" Seven raised an eyebrow.
"Seven, may I mention, that I haven't known you for very long, and why would I snoop through your room, without your permission? I mean that would be really stupid." Noah shook his head.
"How do I know you weren't influenced by certain sources. Besides Noah, you haven't told me a solid alibi yet."
"Well, at this approximate time and place, I was with Rex Salazar, playing Halo 4, while drinking Fanta Orange Soda, and Mountain Dew, which is why, I was presently out in the corridor. When I ran into you." Noah lied.
"SO you haven't left Rex's quarters, since our last rendezvous?" Seven tilted her head to the side.
"Yes. Can I go get that soda now? I've got places to be and things to do."
"Until further surveillance you are free to go. But I'm watching you." Seven made the little hand symbol for I've got my eyes on you as Noah walked out of the room.
"So baby, what can to do to make your life better today?" Bobo leaned forward on the table, and winked at the glaring Seven.
Seven sat with her arms partially crossed, one arm rotating a dagger in her hand fluidly, with her feet on the table, "Shut your mouth if you'd like to keep your fur. Now, on with the interrogation. I think you were roaming my room unwarranted. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Since when do I need a warrant?" Bobo got out of his chair and walked around to Seven, sitting next to her feet on the table.
"Since the moment I decided, the next time you come within a foot of me, I'm going to a restraining order, and I'm going to chop off your foot and restitch it to your forehead." Seven scowled ferociously, and held the blade under the primate's chin.
"Yeah well, your lawsuits would be correct if it wasn't for my incredible defense." The chimp grinned as she leaned back.
"And that would be?" Seven stopped spinning her knife.
"Playing poker with the agents while, telling the guys about the time you ripped the turret right off a fully armed tank, while lodging the main gun with a grenade." Bobo continued, "Very impressive." He winked.
Seven tried to keep her calm, "I've got another question. When I got back to my room from interrogation, I noticed several misplaced things in my room."
"I didn't touch anything. And you probably moved them in the first place to make me look guilty." He crossed his arms defensibly, hiding from accusation.
Seven blinked calmly, "Bobo. I've have a photographic memory. I remember everything I see, hear, feel, comprehend, and learn. I also can tell if a person is lying by their pulse and posture. I'm getting mixed signals from your heartbeat, but your body composure tells me otherwise. You're in denial."
Bobo snickered, "I'm okay with that."
"How do you explain how you got to Rex's room? From the Poker game." Seven continued rotating the dagger with a cruel glare.
"Simple. I won the game." The chimp grinned, lying across the table.
"If you agreed to go out with me, then maybe I'd give you more information. But it would require some-" Bobo began.
Quick as lightning, Seven reached over and punched Bobo, sending him flying across the room, and hitting the wall, before the monkey picked up his fez and ran out.
Seven yelled angrily after him, "Yeah that's right! RUN! Before Sable get's you!" Seven mentioned, as a monkey's scream, and a snarl of the familiar EVO echoed through the halls. "Oh. Too late."
"Rex Salazar. 16, male, EVO, national hero, Hispanic . . . May I ask, what do you have to say for yourself. Your two accomplices, Noah Nixon, and Bobo Haha, have neither been proved guilty, nor innocent. I have a certain inception of thought, that you were at the correct place at the correct time. Now tell me, where were you at 16:57:49 hours?" Seven crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.
"Seven. You and I both know, I was in my room chilling with Noah." Rex blandly said.
"I'm surprised you said that Rex. And that is because I downloaded these videos onto my tablet from the surveillance room. And they seem to say otherwise. And also at 17:36:34 hours you decided to use me as a battering ram when you crashed into me in hall 32. See for yourself." Seven slid her tablet across the table.
The teen crossed her arms as the tablet played Rex, Noah, and Bobo running across the screen in hyper speed, then entering Cezar's lab. Then the screen became a squiggly as it fast forwarded to later, as Rex zoomed with his hover bike before rounding a few corridors and crashing into Seven. The tape stopped and Rex looked up at the raven haired girl.
"Can you explain this for me please?" Seven smirked slightly before turning back to stoic.
Rex inhaled deeply and spoke lowly, "Yes. So- Cezar was helping us with a glitch- in our video game- because it wasn't working properly. And that was because- Bobo- had accidentally scratched the disk, and Cezar said he could fix it." Rex nodded satisfied with his answer.
Seven glanced at Rex's wrist, and grabbed it before he could even move an inch, sensing his pulse with her forefinger and middle finger. Pulling his hand up, looking Rex directly in the eye. After thirty seconds of glaring, Seven tossed Rex's arms back, nearly sending his chair flying across the room. Rex's hands gripping the table.
"Rex. I still have no reason to believe you. I'm going to ask you this only once." Seven leaned forward on the table intimidatingly, "Were you in my room unsanctioned?"
"No I wasn't." Rex lied, before he got an idea, "Wait a minute! You can't be interrogating me without authorization, besides, I have to have an attorney." Rex held up his index finger to Seven, and used his com link to contact Holiday.
The doctor quickly picked up, "Doctor Holiday speaking."
"Can you come up to interrogation room 4. Seven's chewing me out." Rex spoke quietly and glanced at his crush, to see her glaring with her arms crossed.
The woman laughed, "Okay, I'll be up there right away." Doc hung up the line. Leaving Rex and Seven in an awkward, tense silence.
Rex tapped his foot, and held his arms at his sides, staring at Seven. The blue eyed girl stared back, with a scowl evident on her face, her arms crossed. Rex glanced to the side then back at Seven. She hadn't flinched, moved, or blinked. The two stubborn teens sat there staring at each other.
The door to the dark room swung open and Holiday walked in, "So what's going on?"
Rex was first to speak, "Seven's accusing me of snooping in her room."
Doc nodded, "Oh-kay. Agent Seven what puts you under the false pretense that Rex was going through your room unauthorized."
Seven slightly smirked, and showed off her dimples, "Doctor Holiday. You are in violation of code 349. This contract clearly states that you will not under any circumstances work against my will. When I signed up for this job, White Knight had most of the most important agents, and doctor's sign a contract that implies that we are now allies, and will stand beside each other in any situation. Or circumstance." Seven tossed a thick pile of paperwork in a manila folder on the table.
"What?" Holiday asked, genuinely confused.
"Part three, page four, paragraph nine. Read the context." Seven nodded to the document.
The brunette woman picked up the file and flicked to the correct section and cleared her throat, and read from the form, "I will stand beside the assigned agent under this contract according to all conditions. I accept and understand this and will comprehend this, and follow these regulations." Holiday read the first sentence before tossing it back down on the table.
"I don't see my name there." Doc crossed her arms.
Seven pulled back the document and began flipping through the pages, before stopping, "Page 18 has your signature in black and white." Seven spun the contract around again and set it down. Sure enough Holiday's curved, relaxed, cursive signature laid innocently.
"I stand corrected. Sorry Rex. I can't help you here." Doc shrugged, and turned to leave.
Soon as the woman left Rex spoke, "Come on Seven! What's the whole point?"
Seven gritted her teeth, "Fine. I'll let you off easy. But if I find out that you were really in my room, and you took something- You're done."
Rex gulped and nodded.
