100 Theme Challenge #33

33. Puzzle

"Do you know why you're here, Will?" Asked the lady in red.

Will nodded. "I defended myself."

"That's not it, Will, and you know it. You hurt your friends during dinner."

"Because they called me names and didn't want me to sit with them at their table. I wanted to show them some manners."

The lady seated across him frowned and placed something on the table separating them. A knife, its handle still a bit stained.

"Where did you find this?" She asked.

"In the kitchen."

"There is no such knife there."

Will sighed, pushed his chair back on two legs, rolling us eyes at the ceiling.

"A friend gave it to me, okay?"

"Really? And did that friend tell you where he got it from, even though weapons are forbidden in this establishment?"

"You think he told me his life? He said to enjoy it, that's all."

Now the woman pursed her lips. "To enjoy it? He knew you would use it one day or another."

Will smirked. "Wouldn't you? I know what you all think of me; that I'm a freak because they found me beside my dead parents."

"I don't believe it, Will. The past doesn't define you. Our actions, however, speak for themselves, and you can't keep this up."

"Or what?" Something glinted in his glare.

The lady in red smirked and leaned back, playing with the knife.

"We'll treat you the way you think you deserve to be treated."
