Mariss answered the door an hour later, sure that it was going to be Brenda on the other side. Sebastian would have just walked in.

“How can I help you?” Mariss asked, rather clinically, but as per usual, the older woman didn't realize Mariss was being cold.

Brenda took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Mariss tipped her head to the side and waited.

“Why don't you like me?”

Mariss' eyes went round. Was this woman seriously asking her that question?

“I mean, I know that things aren't going to be perfect between us given our relationships with Sebastian, but I don't know what I've done for you to treat me the way you do.”

Brenda folded her hands in front of her and stared at Mariss with innocent eyes. Anger and disgust bubbled to the surface from deep within and Mariss snapped before she could be bothered to stop herself.

“Listen close, Slice n' Dice. Listen real well. From the moment you stormed into Sebastian's spare room like you owned him or something, you've been in my face about the way Sebastian feels about me. I can't do anything about that. I'm sorry you're jealous, but the truth is, I didn't ask for Sebastian to fanboy me and I certainly didn't ask for the feelings I have for him, so you need to get off your bullshit before you get hurt.”

Her voice rose in pitch until Sebastian and Herbert were standing in the hallway, assessing the situation. Mariss turned to them and said, “Sebastian, you'd better get your Boner Barbie out of my face before I cut her.”

Herbert snorted and turned around, making a quick escape down the hallway. A loud slap echoed through the hall as the sting of it registered. Mariss grabbed her face and blinked in shock at Brenda. She reached for the older woman as Sebastian swiped her out of the way.

“Herbert!” he called. The FBI agent came running. His eyes darted back and forth as he tried to figure out who to grab. “Please take Mariss into her room and keep her there.”

Mariss growled as Herbert corralled her into the bedroom. His body shook as he tried to contain his laughter until the door was closed.

“I think you made her cry,” Herbert laughed.

“I don't give a fuck. Stupid bitch. She has no idea what she's gotten herself into. I don't understand why she's even dating him except that she wants the attention.”

“That's all it ever is,” Herbert said. “Except for you, which I still don't get.”

Mariss huffed. “Don't hurt yourself trying to figure it out. It's not worth the time or effort. That stupid bitch slapped me.” She touched her face where she'd been hit. It still stung and she still wanted to stab Brenda. Mariss was vaguely aware that she was becoming more violent as opposed to less, but at the moment she couldn't be bothered by it.

Sebastian came in a little while later, his jaw set and his face grim.

“Before you start casting blame, I want you to understand that you don't have the right to talk to her any which way.
