Convict Interview
Subject: Elizabeth Nunez
Female, 24
Homicide.
Date: 17 April 2028
Upcoming BATW: 12-14 May 2028
Elizabeth was led into the Interrogation Room by female Corrections Officers on either side of her. Shackles held her hands apart and close to her waist and prevented her from taking steps that were more than a foot and a half in length. She wore a button up one-piece prison issue uniform that was very unflattering, yet still reveal the nice rack and thin waist of a well shaped woman.
Marcus Bennett stood as the Con approached the heavy, steel table, smiling politely as he clasped his hands behind his back, waiting; Visitors were not allowed to speak to the Cons, and vice versa, until the COs had secured the latter appropriately. He watched with interest as they unshackled one hand and secured it to the table table, then repeated the gesture with the other. One of the COs stood by, watching her, as the second unlocked a second chair from the nearby wall, scooted it under Elizabeth's buttocks, then locked down the legs to the hooks on the floor. Seeing his permissive nod, they turned and left the room, leaving the ultimate reality show host alone with the woman.
Marcus smiled politely, then looked at the shackles and recalled the steps that had gone into even ensuring that the chair she sat in couldn't be used as a weapon. "Seems like a lot of effort to secure a woman who ... well, to be honest, doesn't look like she could hurt a fly."
Elizabeth didn't answer. She knew the rules, rules that would put her in solitary for a month for even the first infraction. No speaking unless asked a direct question or given permission to speak freely.
"Elizabeth, I've been reading your file," Marcus began, lifting a thick manilla folder from the satchel on the floor and setting it before him. "I'm sure you know who I am. I hear that Breakfast at the Whitney is a very popular show in ... do they still call it the Joint...?"
Marcus laughed, glancing past her to the COs, standing near the door and attempting to act casual but, as he knew, always on guard and ready to respond to any situation. He leaned in and said with a knowing smile, "Of course, the way I hear it, y'all root for the Convicts, not the Cops. Go figure, huh..."
When Elizabeth didn't answer, he continued, "Anyway, if you know who I am, then you know why I'm here. Breakfast has had a hard time ... recruiting female competitors who are ... competitive.
He reached to his satchel again and pulled out a glossy magazine, setting it before her. On the cover was a photograph of the main stairwell inside The Whitney, an elegant all wood affair with hand woven Persian carpet sporting the exact pattern that had been put in the house upon its construction in the early 1890s.
"You see this...?" Marcus asked, tapping a finger upon the magazine cover. "Each month, following the completion of the competition, we highlight a different portion of The Whitney's beauty and charm by photographing the winners in a different location inside -- or sometimes outside -- the building. This is where we had planned on photographing the the winners for April's edition of Breakfast. Unfortunately ... no one won." He chuckled a bit, not with humor but with ironic dismay. "In fact ... we almost didn't have any survivors at all. Three convicts lived to return to solitary ... and I hear that one of them died of his injuries shortly afterward."
He turned the magazine to face her, opened it to the middle Playboy-like centerfold page, and pulled it out. It was a full color graphic of the Arena, next to a satellite image of the same area. He opened her file again, saying, "I would like to offer you a place on the team for May's competition. What do you say?" He hesitated for a moment, adding, "Elizabeth ... you are free to say anything you wish."
