I love this story...Just saying. OH and before I dive into review replies, I made three new Cause of Death Videos on my channel. One, I'm proud to announce, is the long awaited for, Fix You, a request by But I Have Promises To Keep. :) Hope you enjoy it. The rest I made just for my entertainment. :)

Aw, thank you! :D And (if you're referring to the April Fools SHS episode...) Then I loved it too! :D Thanks for the review!

-But I Have Promises To Keep
Evil wives are always the most interesting killers, in my opinion. :) And I agree. It all depends on what you are in to. Us, for instance, we like Cause of Death which involves Crime Solving Techniques, something used in court. :) Ooh, and Salem Witch Trials; sounds familiar and I'm interested in seeing one of those. :) Thanks for the review!

So, I really like this chapter...A lot. :)

And I also really liked Yesterday's now airing. :) It made me scream and laugh more than I can count, mainly because my friend and I were reading it outloud in our best Mal, Blaise, Natara, Shawn, etc...Voices. :)

Also, I've been thinking about it and I am going to start accepting video requests again. However, I already have a Ken/Amy one in mind using My Immortal, so that one is out, but any other pairing, song, or short video you'd like to see, ask me about it. :)

That's it for today. Hope you all are having a good week so far. Thank you and enjoy!

Back in the court room, AKA, the lobby, Mal took his seat next to Natara, who spoke quietly.

"Just think of this as an interrogation," she said. "Don't give into any fear, alright."

"You got it," Mal said with a nod. He looked ahead as he waited for Yeong to enter. Strangely enough, he was feeling more than happy to call up Mrs. Burton to the stand. "She did it," he would tell Ken or Natara, who only shrugged in response. Mal always jumped ahead, teetering over the line of danger. Yet, somehow he was still alive.

As Yeong entered, the court room silenced and she nodded towards Mal. "You may choose..."

"Theresa Burton," Mal called, looking towards the wife. "I call Theresa Burton to the stand." Mal jumped up from his seat, Natara praying he wouldn't make an idiot out of himself. A guard led Theresa to the stand and Mal took his place, smirking ever-so-slightly.

"Theresa, how long have you and Ted been married?" Mal asked.

"About six years," Theresa said with a small nod. "It would've been seven years next week, but that girlfriend of yours killed him!"

"Of course she did," Mal growled. "And I suppose you're going to blame John Lennon of Global Warming?" Maria shot him a glare and Mal cleared his throat cautiously. "Anyway...Theresa, I can tell you really loved Ted. He, let's say, took your hand and pulled you from the rubble."

"Now your just quoting songs, Detective," Theresa muttered. "But yes, I loved Ted with all of my heart. There was always something about him that...That made me happy." Theresa dabbed at her eyes, instantly forcing Mal to look at Natara who shook her head. Mal turned back.

"Theresa, let's be realistic here...Were you mad to find out that Ted was trying to force a relationship on my partner?" Mal asked, his voice softening.

"I was seething," she replied. "He broke my heart. And then, I learned that Natara wasn't the first girl that he seduced."

"When exactly did you learn this?" Mal asked.

"Just after his death. I was crying in his room..."

Mal smiled. "That's funny, Theresa, because if Ted had pictures or any sign of other girls being his secretive muse, then he would have kept all evidence in his Cabin Room. Now, from what I heard, you and your daughters were still at home, far from the cabin."

"Let me finish," Theresa snapped. "I was crying in his HOME room when my friend called, recapping a night she spent with him a few weeks ago."

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. Where and who is this friend?"

"Carla Reynolds," Theresa growled. "She said that..."

"Can I talk to Carla right now?"

Theresa stopped talking, taken aback. "Why would you want to?"

"Because as a Detective, I want to investigate further. In fact," Mal turned to Ken. "Ken, can you get Ms. Reynolds on the phone on the double?"

"Already on it, Chief!" Ken called and walked into the other room with his phone.

"Mal, please go back to your seat until Mr. Greene comes back," Captain Yeong said and looked towards Natara, realization seemed to be hitting her. Mal walked over to Natara and smiled.

"How's that for interrogation," Mal said and Natara gave him a smile.

"You're doing great, but we still need to focus on what counts. Don't get a big head and lose what we have."

Mal nodded. "You can count on me, Nat."

After a few minutes of silence, Ken walked in, talking out loudly for the whole court to hear. "Carla, your friend, Theresa Burton, says you were in a relationship with her husband, Ted, correct?"

Speaker Phone was on. "Yes, I was. But I called it off shortly after I discovered he was married."

"Did you ever tell Theresa?" Ken asked.

"No. I didn't. Why? Is she in the room?"

"Yes," Theresa growled. "I am in the room."

"Carla, so let's get this straight; you never told Theresa about your days with Ted?" Ken asked, the whole court now intent on the conversation.

"No. She's my friend. I wasn't going to tell her until I felt like the time was right."

Ken nodded and sighed. "Well, you do know that Mr. Burton is dead, right?"

"Wh-what?" Carla gasped.

Theresa stood up. "Captain Yeong, Carla is a liar!"

"I am not!" Carla called out and Ken sighed heavily.

"Thank you, Ms. Reynolds. I'll call you back later," he said and shut the phone. "So, Ms. Burton...What is it? You are under oath, may I remind you."

Theresa hesitated. She glanced back at her kids and Mr. Smyth who shook his head. "Don't give into it, Theresa," he said.

"Oh, so you two are working together on this," Mal called, standing up. "Let me guess, Mr. Smyth is also cheating."

"No," Mr. Smyth called. "I have a wife and kids back home. Besides the point, Theresa has anger issues."

"Really?" Captain Yeong asked, raising an eyebrow. She looked at Theresa. "If this is true, Ms. Burton, please take a few minutes to calm down."

"No!" Theresa called and clenched her fists, tears coming to her eyes. "He cheated on me! We have two little girls and a good life and he cheats on me with that idiotic FBI Agent!"

"Ms. Burton..." Yeong warned.

"He said Forever and Always! He promised that he would never cheat and he went ahead anyway. I threw my life away because of him!"

"Guards!" Ken called, but he was already too late. Theresa whipped out a concealed pistol and pointed it at Natara.

Natara made a grab for her gun and cursed when she remembered that it had been taken away. Mal, however, came to her rescue and pulled out his. "Put the gun down, Theresa!"

"I did it," she growled. "I came to the cabin just to see how he was doing. When I saw him walking around with the fed, I went to find her gun by just asking around. Once found, I stalked them until the reached the balcony. I got close, but not too close. Once he kissed her, I pulled the trigger and threw the gun on the ground, running away. I quickly made my way home, but not without checking his room for any other evidence that he was a cheater."

"I know how you feel," Mal replied. "My ex-wife cheated on me. Sure, I was mad, but I didn't want to kill her. And believe me, I was under the influence of alcohol most of the time."

"But she didn't tell you that she loved you constantly. You two never had kids to gush over, bringing you two together."

"True," Mal said, "but I did tell her Forever and Always. You can get help, Theresa. We can get this all fixed and you can be home in a couple of years."

"That," Theresa growled, "is not a solution." She rechecked her aim on Natara and pulled the trigger.
