"Robert!" Ariadne forced her lips into a smile. "Well, this is a surprise!"
The older man looked slightly confused, but nodded. "It shouldn't be a surprise. I brought you here." He gestured to the door. "And, no, you're not getting out."
Ariadne swallowed. She knew she had to remain calm, and not antagonise him - but that could be difficult. He was eyeing her, almost warily. She took a step forward, and cleared her throat. "So, why have you brought me here?"
Robert turned. "Not important. Really."
"Come on, Robert." Ariadne's voice was calm, but she was in no mood to play games with him. "You brought me here, there must be a reason."
"Oh, there is." He nodded. "I need your boyfriend to realise that I am not going to simply walk away. That job - Vice Principal - is and should be mine."
"Why is that?" Ariadne pressed.
"Because Arthur-" he smiled, smugly - "is a criminal. That's why."
Her jaw dropped "What?" She shook her head. "Robert, you've tried to pin all sorts of crazy things on Arthur. Like the time you claimed that he was harrassing me, and when you got him suspended for throwing ice cream at you- because you were harrassing me!"

"Really?" She challenged. "I think you've exhausted the possiblities of things you can accuse him of. You're a liar. You paid a kid to burn down our school. You are in no position to tell me that Arthur is guilty of anything!"
"Oh, he's guilty of a lot of things!" Robert shouted. "Like the time he slept with a student!"
Ariadne looked at Robert, and shook her head. "You're pathetic. And a liar." She walked to the door, and putting her hand on it, began to turn and try and twist it.
"Why don't you believe me?" Robert wheedled. "I know he did! She was a senior, and he couldn't keep his hands to himself! Why do you think he transferred to Fox? It was because his old school kicked him out! He's a liar! A liar, and a predator! And its about time you realised that, Ariadne!"
"No," she said, calmly, shaking her head. "I know you're lying. In fact,
