"My, my. Is it really that time already?"

"A murder? Here?!"

"Ah, well... it's nice to get the boring part out of the way. Stage one was always the introduction to our plan. A test, if you will."

"Look, it's the mark of The Black Raven... did they really...?"

"He will have to take the fall for us. But he was always like a little bird in a cage! Held captive, completely unaware!"

"... Call the police. The Chief Prosecutor and I will keep an eye of this place."

"... Although, in the end, I suppose we all are."

Sky and Felicity had left an hour or so ago to visit the Prosecutor's office, leaving me to watch over United. Apparently I was 'next in line' to receive this place, which I didn't agree to. At all.

"I'm booooooored..." Chrysalis whined for about the fifteenth time today. "Anton stopped texting me like, half an hour ago. And writing about a law office owned by you is getting stale."

"Isn't Anton ill?" I asked her. According to Polly, he had suddenly come down with a fever, leading to her staying home to look after him. "He could just be sleeping right now."

"He could've just stayed here, with us," she said, "But nooooo - he has to be properly looked after!"

I rolled my eyes at her. Although, we were soon to be interrupted by the door bursting open.

"H-Heeeeelp-!!"

Niamh Wood burst in, on the verge of tears. "Chrysalis-!" She cried, "You have to help da- Mr. Bespoke!"

Elliot (remember, the guy from the last case that somehow became the receptionist of this place) finally realised that somebody had entered. "Hey, we've got a visitor!" He chuckled. "They'll be waiting in, uhh... waiting room three. Which is the doorway."

"Ooh, finally!" Chrysalis ran up to her, ignoring Elliot. "Let me guess - he got arrested for a murder? That tends to happen a lot."

"Y-You... have to help hiiiim!" Niamh cried, "We were supposed to be watched The Steel Samurai together with that new prosecutor... but then-!"

"Let me guess - you discovered a body?" I sighed. This tended to happen a lot. "Can you... manage to guide us all the way back to the crime scene?"

"I-I'll try..." Niamh sobbed, "... O-Only if Chrysalis can hold my hand... for comfort..."

Chrysalis grinned and held Niamh's hand. "So, where's this crime scene? Is it in the courthouse? A duck pond? In the middle of the road?"

"I-It's... in the Prosecutor's Office..." She replied, gulping. "... In... Da- Mr. Bespoke's office..."

Chrysalis shot me a smirk as I grew pale. And to think that we would have a nice, simple case for once...
