     Kastaria was going to her room to calm down but decided she needed some air first, she went outside on the porch that overlooked the backyard. She took a breath of the cool air acting like everything was fine but inside she was falling apart...

      Mark was one of her best friends, she trusted him with her life, she wanted to help him, she would have done anything for him, she had proven that so many times since she had met him three years ago... But now he's dead and she feels like she hadn't drunk so much, she would have been able to stop his death... It had to be her fault...

     Suddenly one of the glass panes behind her broke making her jump, she turned and saw the glass on the ground, no one was there... How did it break? "What is happening to me?" She asked herself out loud.

      "E-Excuse me?" Kastaria turned on her heel to face who was talking, she saw Y/N standing there, she seemed nervous to talk to Kastaria.

     "What are you doing here?" Kastaria asked looking at the Attorney suspiciously.

      "I'm... I'm here to ask you where you were at 1:30 am last night, that was the time that Mark was murdered," lightning struck when she said the word but she shrugged it off, "so where were you at 1:30 am?"

     Kastaria just sighed looking over the balcony again in desperation, "I don't remember much of last night..." She tried to think back, she then saw that someone was carrying her and she saw whoever it was put her in her bed, she saw the alarm say 12:45 am... "Someone put me in my bed at 12:45 am, I was asleep at 1:30 I think."

     Y/N looked at her interested, "who put you to bed? I had to be helped to bed as well after your brother punched me," she said laughing a bit.

     "He's a bad drunk," Kastaria kept her eyes over the balcony not looking at the Attorney, "I don't know who put me in my bed, all I know was that they carried me there after I had fallen down or something."

     "Well, Damien put me in mine, maybe he did the same for you, he seems to like you." Y/N smiled at Kastaria like they were friends, it must be helping her cope with Mark's death, talking to another female like they've known eachother forever.

     "I don't know about that, my brother and I have a bad track record with City Officials," Kastaria said shaking her head.

     "You must not see the way he looks at you then," Y/N laughed meekly then she frowned as the real-life problems caught up with her brain, "I'm sorry about Mark, you two seemed close."

     "We... We were," Kastaria breathed out sadly, "I would have done anything for him and now he's dead."

     "Were you two together?" Y/N asked that was when Kastaria realized that Y/N was trying to figure out more information to see what she could figure out who killed Mark, was Kastaria one of her suspects? She must be.

     "No, we weren't," Kastaria answered harshly, "I have to go, it was nice talking to you, Y/N."

     And with that, Kastaria walked away leaving the Attorney who was also now her brother's partner alone. She went to her room and sat on the bed running her hands through her hair, she felt like everything was spinning... What is happening to her?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

     Y/N looked into the Little Buddy cams, she hoped she'd find something... Nothing on the night of the murder, nothing on the night before that, but then... Something two nights ago...

     She saw Mark walk over to... The Detective and his sister... What are they doing there? 

     "Abe, Kas, good to see ya," Mark gave two quick hugs towards the two siblings as he was close them it seemed like, "I'll cut right to the chase... Chef, Butler, good?"
