Looking around the room… scared to death… was Joy. The normally brave and adventurous tomboy, Joy was now petrified. Now that was a new one. Joy wondered if her friend was alive. Doubtful, since she had quite a tongue on her, she surmised. "Please, Dear Lord, I pray that my friend is out of harm's way. I pray, lord for everyone's safety." Joy continued praying fervently, folding her hands together and even getting on her knees. Joy was sent to a room and sleeping like an angel, was Jackson. "Thank you lord," she whispered. She was about to give her a big hug when she remembered that she was asleep, and so should Joy. Finding room next to her, Joy, let all her worries fade away into the realms of sleep. "Joy, Joy, Joy." Jackson said, agitated. "Okay, okay I'm up!" Joy murmured sluggishly. Jackson smiled, satisfied from the awakening of Joy. "Where are we?" Joy asked. Jackson was happy to be answering questions then the other way around. "The Crossforest, where were the mystical beasts? Cool huh," Jackson said. "Oh and just to throw something out there, I'm a controller." Jackson said proudly. "I'm not even going to ask," Joy said. She smiled at Jackson. Sautara walked through the door of Jackson's room. Joy and Jackson stopped talking to see what she wanted. "Jackson you're needed, Joy can come if that is what you're going to ask." Sautara said, seeing that Jackson was going to speak. Jackson followed Sautara and Joy followed Jackson. Finally, they arrived in a boxed in room, with a wall in between them, and a man, or a dwarf, on the other side. He was waiting anxiously, looking around the room like [i]he knew why they were watching him. "Controllers are often good detectives. Test my theory out on this man. He is being convicted of the murdering of a woman, who was pregnant. This is her boyfriend," She continued. "This is not really a suspect; it's just training, so he may crack easier than real suspects. Remember, this is your first time, so you will not do perfectly. Go ahead and give it a shot." Sautara said. Jackson took a while to take it all in, but eventually was inside the room with the man. "Where were you last Tuesday at 7 pm?" Jackson inquired. "Out with my girlfriend, Janice Prease," he said. "Lies, all lies. Janice died at 7. And since you said you were with her that gives me the right to think you killed her." Jackson sneered. The man tried to look surprised. "She wasn't dead when I was with her." He said. "How did it feel when you stabbed her and she begged for mercy. You kept stabbing her. You're cruel." She hissed. The man was about to crack. "I know my rights. I want a lawyer." The man got up and shook my hand. "Nice work. Good for a newbie." Jackson nodded her thanks and left. "Good start, but you'll need some training. Trying being good cop, since you aren't too good at being bad cop," Sautara explained. "Here comes your partner. Meet Det. Bernadette." Jackson turned around to see Bernadette come through the doorway. "Hello, you must be Det. Jackson, Nice to meet you." She said, shaking my hand. Det. Bernadette was a Blonde. She had curly hair and rainbow colored eyes, literally. She had perfectly tanned skin and was wearing khaki's with a white polo. She look more put together than Jackson. "Hello, Bernadette. Nice to meet you," I said, reaching out my hand to shake hers. "Catch her up on the recent case." Sautara ordered." She nodded. "Yes, captain," She said. "There has been a series of murders that we believe are connected. All the victims died with their laptops next to them that says "guilty"," she explained. Jackson immediately had a possible solution, (probably from watching so many law and order shows). "Take me to the most recent crime scene." She said. Bernadette nodded and they got in the car. A phone rang. "That's yours, "Jackson told Det. Bernadette. She answered it with a; "Hello?" She continued in conversation for no more than a minute. "There's another crime scene." She said. With that they changed direction and were going to the next crime scene
