Love Isn't Always Fair
Interrogation
"But I didn't do anything." Max said as he was seated in the interrogation room.
"You obviously did if you were brought here." Officer Jenson said as he sat down across from Max. "Now, just tell us about the girl. We already have evidence against you for the murder and the substances. We'll deal with that in court."
"What girl? Athena?"
"Is that the girl you were seen with before you were arrested?"
Max nodded.
"Then yes, her." Officer Jenson leaned back in his seat and waited for an answer.
Max fidgeted in his seat. "Athena had nothing to do with any of this. She's innocent."
"So, you didn't sell her any drugs?"
"No. I love Athena. I would never try to hurt her."

"He's a fucking douche bag!" Athena shouted at the sound of Max's name.
Officer Cornell sat down across from Athena.
"He doesn't love me, and he [b]did[/b] hurt me! Hell, he practically raped me!"
"Athena, just calm down." Officer Cornell said, "He didn't try and sell you drugs?"
"No," Athena crossed her arms over her chest. "All he wanted from me was to apologize for cheating on me with that whore."
"That 'whore' would be?"
"Jenna Stone."
Officer Cornell quickly wrote down the name in her notepad.
"Um, Officer?" Athena sat up in her chair. "Did Max really murder someone?"
The officer sighed. "I'm sorry, Athena. I'm afraid I can't tell you about that." She said.
"Alright... Well, am I free to go now?"
"Yes, I'll escort you out."
Athena stood up and started to follow Officer Cornell down the hallway past many small offices.
"Athena! Wait! Let go of me! Let me talk to her, please!" Max tried to struggle away from the two police officers holding him back.
Athena looked back at Max and then at Officer Cornell.
"Go ahead." She said, "But make it quick.
Athena walked over to Max and the police let go of him but he was still cuffed.
"Athena, I'm sorry! I had no idea about you and Eric!" Max tried to apologize again.
"And you didn't even seem to respect me when I told you I didn't want to have sex with you so you went ahead and screwed Jenna behind my back. Yeah, you're real sorry, Max."
"But Athena-"
"I'll see you in court, Max." She turned around and followed Officer Cornell downstairs to the lobby where she waited for CC to pick her up.
"Hey, is everything okay?" He asked when she got in the car.
"Yeah, it's fine. I'm alright." Athena looked out the window.
"That's good. Hey, I have a-"
"I want to do it." Athena turned her head to look at him.
"Do...What exactly?"
"It." She said as if everyone knew what 'it' meant.
"Oh, you mean-"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Now."
"You obviously did if you were brought here." Officer Jenson said as he sat down across from Max. "Now, just tell us about the girl. We already have evidence against you for the murder and the substances. We'll deal with that in court."
