Welcome back, everyone. Since I forgot to state this in the intro for the previous chapter, we are now on "A. Nigma Prison Blues." Enjoy and review.

8:17 AM

Joseph felt a hand slam him into his locker. He thought being friends with the big man on campus would have protected him from such things. Then the owner of the hand identified himself.

"Okay, Joseph, what exactly have you done with Venus?" It was Quentin. Joseph certainly never saw that coming.

"Venus?" asked Joseph. "Can't say I've seen her."

"Oh, yeah right. How about you answer that honestly!"

A look of confusion fell upon Joseph's face. "Who is that?" Even if his face wasn't against a locker it wasn't like he'd have any idea who it was.

"I'm Basil Hagen, I'm Venus' boyfriend."

Joseph couldn't remember if he had ever heard Basil's name before. He couldn't even remember if he knew that Venus had a boyfriend.

"Really? You are Venus; boyfriend?" asked Joseph.

"Yes, I've established that." Replied Basil. "Where is she?"

"She's told you about me and from what she's said you think I had something to do with his disappearance?" Joseph's eyes widened. He had said too much right there.

"What was that last part?" asked Basil, having fully heard what Joseph had said.

"Talk!" ordered Quentin.

"What is going on here?" And enter Byron Clarence, the Vice Principal of Bishop Dunan's. He was about the same age as his counterpart over at A. Nigma, blond, blue eyed, built-like a Greek statue that had a knife taken to the face a few times and dressed like his days as a prison guard had never ended, of course given his love for the era he was dressed like he was a prison guard from the 1960's.

Basil and Quentin both stared wide-eyed as Clarence. Joseph only yelled: "Vice Principal Clarence, there two are attacking me!"

"That isn't true!" protested Basil. "I believe he has something to do with the disappearance of my girlfriend!"

"To my office, all of you. I'll hear your story there." Clarence pointed in the direction of his office and sure enough the three boys made their way there.
