This fic was inspired by some people's post on Tumblr, so the idea for the AU goes to them; not me. I just gave it some story, that's all.

Correct!

"Congratulations Lucy! You've solved the case!" Diane's mocking tone came through the static of the room's little speaker. "You were quick to guess too… Do you think you should have given yourself more time? Even though you were right in choosing-"

Lucy slammed the intercom's red button. "Where's the Prof, Diane!?" All her thoughts were focused on Alfendi now that the case was over. She had to worry about him being all alone with that girl… No, a little spawn from a demon. "Is he alright?"

"Oh yeah… He's doing real fine. Why don't you come and see for yourself?" There was the sound a mechanism and gears turning. Lucy looked over to see that one of the bookcases lining the wall had opened up a secret passageway; she ran through without a word back to Diane.

Lucy could feel her heat racing in her throat; the thunder going off outside like it was mocking her. She wanted her legs to carry her faster as she ran up the west tower's stairs, but at this point she was already pushing herself; physically and mentally. So when she reached the door at the top of the stairs, Lucy used the last of her energy to break it down to the sight before her.

Diane Makepeace was standing at the window, back to Lucy as she stared out at the rain with a pistol in her hand. Diane burst out into laughter as she still kept her back turned.

"See? I told you he was doing fine." Diane gestured over to the corner of the room.

Lucy's eyes followed Diane's gesture and a huge wave of emotions washed over her; lying on the floor in the middle of a blood puddle was Alfendi Layton. "Prof!" Lucy flew to his side and turned his body over to see his face… Like his body, there was no sign of movement. She looked down at his chest… shot straight through the heart.

"Why Diane!? Why did ya do this!? I solved the case; I guessed right!" Lucy quickly slipped into being full-blown hysterical at the sight of her dead mentor; she couldn't believe it.

"I guess you never learned Lucy…" Diane turned from the window to face her.

"Learn w-wot?" Tears clouded Lucy's vision as her voice failed her and cracked.

"I lied to you Lucy! You were just foolish enough to believe me that you were right." Diane stopped herself to let out a laugh. "The correct killer was Dog. Your price for failure is your lives…" She slowly approached Lucy, the still smoking pistol aimed at the back of her head. "Do you have any last words DC Lucy Baker?"

Lucy knew it was over; there was no way out and her mentor was dead. She brushed back the crimson hair that was Potty Prof's from his face and placed his head on her lap.

Diane cocked the pistol.

Lucy leaned in real close, his scent and blood filling her nose, and gave her final words. "Prof…" Lucy stopped herself, shaking her head. "Alfendi… I'm sorry… this is all my fault; you're dead because of me. And now… now I'm going ta die now too… But..." Lucy stopped again, her mind racing for the right words; then she found the perfect ones. "Alfendi, I-"

BANG
