[Well, that says everything Angela needs to know and her response to is it to bite at her lower lip as she sits back into her seat. If she can forgive Zack and Justin, she can forgive Orange. She'll say nothing; if she's stubborn enough, she might even forget it.

No. That's not happening, but grey morals, remember? Angela colors outside the lines of this one. They'll both be breaking a law. Him, murder. She, witholding information on a crime. If he doesn't tell, she won't.]

He's a sponge.

[They've seen each other without their clothes before, has she ever asked where those scars--the one on his belly and another near his shoulder--came from? Because he wouldn't have told her, especially about the one on his belly. Maybe now Angela's got a better idea.]

What?

[That catches him off guard. Plus...sponges. He has no clue what she means.]

[Angela has wondered and imagined where those scars came from, but like his true name, she knew he would never tell her the dirty details. He told her a long time ago somebody tried to kill him; she just chalked up the injuries to that and let it go. It wasn't worth arguing over when his identity was more important to her.]

Spongebob Squarepants. [She points up at his head for what's probably the millionth time today.] He's a sea sponge that lives in a pineapple under the sea.

You're shitting me.

[He really truly honestly thinks she's making it up as she goes along to be funny. Angela's creative enough for it.]

I am not.

[Luckily--for who, no one knows--Angela has an actual collection of Spongebob videos on her phone. Blame having a kid in the house with the maturity of a second grader and as much patience as one. That's her excuse and she's sticking to it.

Anyway, she pulls her cell out of her purse and cues up a short clip of the opening of the cartoon and hands the phone over to Freddy, opening him up to a brand new world of clothed sea animals that talk.]

Hey hey hey we're in public.

[Immediately he's expecting some more of her porn but it's all said in jest because if he wasn't prepared he wouldn't be accepting her phone. The song starts up and right away, bright shit. Caramel green eyes kind of glaze over; Freddy shakes his head.]

That's some Liquid Television shit there.

Nickelodeon, not MTV.

[Just wait until he sees the Krabby Patties.]
