[Martin crosses in front of Billie and gives her a sideways look.]

Nothing to say?

[No matter; as soon as the report came back as to the validity of Billie's report, the Overseer is certain she'll have plenty to say.]

[lurkin]

Is there something I should say?

[If she pulled at the cuff now and it came off, Billie could attack him, she thought. But she still had to free her other hand, meaning she would have to kill him to keep things quiet enough.

And to be honest, that was a pretty tempting idea.]

[bornintonothing]

Perhaps you could enlighten me more about your allegiance to the Outsider.

[There is a hint of honest curiosity behind Martin's words, although it's very much duty that drives him to ask.]

What is it you think will happen to you in the end?

[Billie sighs a breath through her nose. If Martin doesn't leave, she would have to be patient. Wait for him to get closer. It was risky. But it may have been her best bet if she wanted to get out of here alive.] You'll probably pretend you're going to let out of the chair. Then someone's going to put a needle in my neck. Make me die quietly. They'd like to run a blade through me. But that's just more blood to clean up.

[Though that hypothetical needle may not work anyway. But she wasn't going to mention that. She already told him she couldn't kill herself, but she didn't say why. A faint version of her usual tart attitude played in her voice.

Probably not what Martin meant. Billie knew what he meant. She just didn't want to give him the satisfaction until he was more specific about it.]
