Confronted

"I've been thinking. This place isn't so bad." "Not so bad? We were just told we can not see our friend who they shot." Olivia reminds. "They're just a little strict." I say. "Forgive me. I didn't realize you drank the kool aid." "I didn't drink the kool aid I just don't know why we want to leave." "You can't think of one reason why we would leave?" "I can think of a few, but let's look at the facts. We got a place to stay and they're probably keeping us safe from the aliens." Olivia slaps me lightly. "Snap out of it." "All I'm saying is maybe it's not so bad. Maybe we're too quick to judge." Olivia shakes her head. "You've lost it." "I have not lost it." I insist. "You have. There is no other explanation." We hear someone clearing their throat and turn around to see Davies. "Sorry to interrupt. May I have a seat." Davies sits down besides us before either of us respond. "What exactly is your business?" He asks. "You mean right now? We're trying to eat." Olivia remarks. "No, not now. I mean with the man." "What man?" Olivia asks. "You know who I'm talking about. The other man. He's your employer." Olivia stares at him for a moment. "So what if he is?" "There shall be no knowledge kept secret. What is your business with this man?" He questions. "It's fine we just go out and seek the unknown for him." I say, trying to cool things off. Unfortunately my words did not help one bit. Davies grabbed Olivia by the arm. "What are you doing?" I shout. "It sounds like spy work to me." "Well, it isn't." Olivia says, as she is being picked up. I try to pry Olivia free, but Davies pushes me away. Davies attempts to walk away. There is a soldier blocking him. "Out of the way, Zip." "I have orders."  "Orders from who?" "Eagle Eyes." Davies takes a deep breath. "What does he want." "He wishes to see them." "He wants to see both of them?" Davies asks. "Yes, but mainly him." He says pointing to me. "Then escort him upstairs. I'm locking this one up."
