Chapter 1: Turnabout lighting, Day 1 investigation

I sighed, as I walked inside the Wright Anything Agency for my first day. I was greeted by , Ms. Cykes, and Apollo Justice. I sighed and turned on the news. "In other news, April May, Age 33, was found dead in Robin Newman's office. Ms. Newman has been arrested and is in jail for questioning." "Another Murder! C'mon, we need a freaking break!" Athena yelled. I sighed and said, "I'll take the case."* Everybody just stared at me. "What, I need the practice anyways, this gives me the chance to test my skills." "Just not too much or else it could happen." I thought to myself. "I want in on this case! I was going to say I was going to take it, but you beat me to it!" Sam yelled at me. I had known this girl since Law School. We are sort of friends, but it isn't an actual friendship. It's on-off. Sam pulled me out the door, (dragged me is a better word) and we rushed to the interrogation center. Gianna was coming with us, mainly to keep an eye on us.

Interrogation center: 3:00 PM

"We are here to see a Robin Newman." I said to the man at the desk. "Give me a minute!" He yelled, making me jump. "Jeez, don't get your ass all tangled up, jeez!" I replied. SMACK! I got whacked in the face by…Sam! "Watch your language, North! JEEZ!" She yelled, as I wobbled around. "Dammit, Sam, you haven't lost your touch. THAT HURT!" I yelled, running outside. That was an excuse; I just wanted to go investigate the crime scene.

INVESTIGATION START

I looked around and found a gun. "Looks to be handy. Emma! Can you check this gun for fingerprints?" I yelled to the detective, Ema Skye. She took the gun and ran off. I started investigating the body and found a few knife and bullet holes. "Oh great. Not this." I thought to myself. It was a mystery to figure out how the man died. This could take hours to figure out, if I didn't have one call to make. "Hello, Autumn? Can you come here? I need some help identifying the cause of death."

A few hours later…

"You called, North? I need my tea and I need to finish this now." Autumn said to me. "How can you drink that crap? Coffee is way better!" I replied, sipping my coffee. Autumn threw a cup of tea at my face. "Tea is amazing; I don't understand what you're talking about!" He yelled at me.

Autumn scanned the scene of the crime. "EUREKA!" He shouted. "What, what is it!?" I yelled. "The first thing to strike this man down was a gun bullet, not a knife!" He said, writing it down on a notepad. "So is the knife holes just there as a red herring?" I replied, confused. "No, this man did get stabbed by a knife. Have you found a knife yet?" He asked me.

"Not ye- Oh, there it is!" I replied, picking up the knife near a dark corner of the alley.

"This is a butterfly knife, but why is it here?" Autumn mumbled to himself.

Butterfly Knife added to Court Record

"But why was it thrown onto the corner?" I added as a mental note. I could use Logic, but I need to get another piece of Logic to use Logic.

I looked at a spot in the trash. "Jeez, North, didn't know you liked trash so much." Autumn said, grinning to himself. "Oh go shove it up your ass, Autumn! Oh there it is!" I yelled, coming out of the garbage can. It was a tape recorder! "This could help us!" I yelled.

Tape Recorder added to Court Record

INVESTIGATION COMPLETE

"Are there any witnesses?" I asked the head officer.

"One, a Fearis Bearnd." The officer replied, showing me to the witness.

"Weird name, Witness, tell us what you saw." I said to the witness.

Argument- Events

"I was walking down the street to my house when I saw a murder happening"

"I ran over to try and help, but it was too late."

"The man had been knifed first and then gunned down like a dog."

"Hmmmm, I'm going to have to think through this carefully!"

"Nooooooooorrrrrrtttttttthhhhhhhhhhhh, where the hell are you!"

Oh no. not now.

Sam and Athena arrived on the scene. This is just not my day.

"North, what are you doing?!"

"I am getting ready to cross-examine him, so be quiet, Sam!" I yelled.

Rebuttal

"I was walking down the street to my house when I saw a murder happening."

"I ran over to try and help, but it was too late."

"The man had been knifed first and then gunned down like a dog."

"OBJECTION! Witness, you say that the man was stabbed by a knife and then gunned down?"

"Yes, why?"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE WRONG! The man was gunned first, then knifed!"

"AGHHHHLDSSKDASDASD!" Fearis yelled, jumping back. "This contradiction proves something! The witness saw the victim when he was dead, not alive!" I yelled, pointing my finger like Phoenix would. Everybody just stared at me like I was a freaking genius or something. Except Sam. This was normal for her, considering how long she has known me. "This man cannot be considered an eyewitness if he did not see the man die or the person who had done it. Now then, let's get back to the Agency!" I yelled, running for the car.

A few hours later, Wright Anything Agency….

"Well, that was fun. We got some new evidence and we also have an idea of how the victim died. It must have been horrible, knowing he was going to die in the next few moments, unknown to him before." I said, walking inside and putting my coat on the coat rack. I sat at the couch and thought for a few minutes. Everybody else was walking around and busy with getting evidence. I turned on the T.V and heard this terrible message: "In today's news, one Fernis Bearnd was found dead outside of his house. A sniper bullet was found in his brain and forensics are checking for anything else that could have killed him. We will tell more on this story and a suspect for the murder, as it develops." I shook my head and walked outside. I thought to myself, "Who, who would want this man dead after I talked to him?" Then it hit me like a train. "The real murderer would want him dead to not get revealed in court." I mumbled to myself, walking back inside, having newfound reason to finish this case.
