OOC: Lunch.  The identities will start to unravel, and Tina will blow them to pieces.

-==IC: Frenya, Tina, and Nic==-
"Edward?  Wait, that was the boy who was poisoned, wasn't it?  Hmm...any chance we could talk to him?"
"Frenya, lighten up.  As long as we're here we should enjoy ourselves.  This food is delicious, you should try some."
Frenya facepalms.  "Tina..."
Just then, Nic walks to the table.  Frenya freezes again, and so does Tina when she notices his expression.
"Hi...there..." Tina says.
"Let's talk."

Nic leads the girls to the far corner of the cafeteria.
"Look.  Let's not play games.  I know why you're here.  Now, I'm not mad, but if your bumbling gets her hurt--"
"We had no idea you'de be here.  We're here for the same reason you are, and we're not going to put her in danger."
"Says the girl who got herself kidnapped on Dread Isle by one of 'Wendy's' old enemies."
"Hey, that wasn't Tina's fault.  Besides, she's got me, too.  Remember?  Trained martial artist?"
"Yeah, but you're not the most subtle person on the planet, either.  Look.  We all want what's best for her.  Maybe the best way to do that is to help her the way we always have.  Give her support and advice while staying out of her way."
Frenya raises her eyebrow.  "Yeah, good luck with that.  Tina, wanna bet twenty bucks he's the first one to leave his room to go gallivanting after her?"
"OK, so I can be a little protective."
"A little?"
"The point is, we need to be sure we don't blow her cover.  Someone here has already tried to kill J--well, he goes by Rod here.  Hank and Rod?"
The girls look at him blankly.  Nic sighs and types the names into his anagram program.
"Ohhh..." they say together.
"Exactly.  And someone else figured it out, and now they're out to kill him.  So we need to make sure we don't do that to Wendy."
"Right."

Frenya and Tina walk over to Tomas.  "Hey, is the computer lab open right now, or is there a class in there?"
