After asking the people in charge to not let Hollie in to see anyone, we went to see Dina.

Dina was frowning, looking at the floor.

"Dina?" She looked up at Athena's voice.

"Oh. It's you." Dina looked down again.

"We wanted to talk to you." I explained.

"...Go ahead." Dina said lifelessly.

(Her confession must have taken a lot of confidence... Either that or it was a faćade.)

"Dina, was this how the murder went down?" I told her what Sava had said.

"...Yes." Dina confirmed.

"Are you okay? You seem less... peppy." Athena frowned.

"I'm fine, it's just.." Dina turned away. Before we could say anything else, she hit the table.

"I'm so sick of Hollie telling me what to do! What Savannah told you she said to me was the least offensive thing she's ever said to any of the orphans." Even I could see the anger and frustration in her eyes, and hear it in her voice."She has the least tragic backstory of all of us, and yet, she acts like a little angel around adults, like she has the worst backstory! And when none are around, she is the worst human in the entire world." Dina ranted.

"Aren't the employees aware of this?" Athena asked.

"Yes! However, literally nothing they've tried has worked, so they try and get as many of us out of the orphanage as much as possible." Dina answered. "They try to get all of us involved in some sort of sport or something. They were way more successful with the boys, though. Me and Sava are the only girls who do sports."

"How often do you guys do your sports?" I asked.

"I'm at the gymnasium about 13 hours a day. For Savannah, she's at the ice rink about 14 and a half." Dina explained.

(Jeez! No wonder she's in freestyle 10 at age six!)

"What about school?" Athena asked.

"We usually have school where we do homework for about an hour or so, then we do our sports." Dina answered. "Anyways, some of the other girls have discovered cheer and dance, but haven't asked to do thise sports yet. So they mostly go shopping. And some girls were in a sport, then they were injured and couldn't do that sport anymore." Dina explained.

"On another note, what do you think about Sava?" I changed the subject.

"I wish we were friends. But I'm in prison until my trial to prove I was blackmailed, and Savannah is likely going to get off the hook." Dina admitted.

(So even Dina has confidence in us..)

"Hey Dina? We know someone who can take your case!" Athena smiled. She told Dina about Mr. Wright.

"He's in the middle of a case, but he's almost done!"

"I'll have to ask. Thank you!" Dina beamed.

(That's one less problem on my back. Thanks, Athena!)

"Thank you for talking to us, Dina." I thanked her.

"No problem. I just want to see her get justice for her crimes." Dina shrugged. "Also, can you ask the people in charge to keep her from visiting me?"

"Sure! We already asked to keep her from visiting anyone." I notified her as we left. We were greeted by a whiny shout.

"What do you mean I can't visit her!? She's my best friend!" Hollie had on an angel face and some fake tears.

"I'm sorry, but I was told not to let you visit." The receptionist explained, oblivious.

"B-but I want to see Dina and Savie-doll!" Hollie blubbered.

"No means no." The receptionist sounded tired.

(Savie-doll? I don't think she'd like that name..)

"Who asked you not to?" Hollie asked innocently.

"Her lawyers." The receptionist replied. Hollie went over to us, and I saw Athena cringe.

"Is this about my behavior earlier?" Hollie asked innocently.

(When she tried to prevent us from seeing Sava..)

"I'm sorry! I was mad because Savannah yelled at me. Can you believe that?" Hollie had a look of innocence on her face.

(If I didn't know what she was capable of, I would believe that look..)

"No." Athena glared at the girl.

"But she did! She's confessing, isn't she?" Hollie asked. "She's a mean person over all!"

Suddenly, my bracelet tightened.

(Knew it..)

Hollie pushed past us and ran outside.

"She was lying. My bracelet reacted to that last statement." I told Athena.

"Well, it looks like that's going to have to be settled in court." Athena sighed.

Wright Anything Agency


"Hi, Polly, Athena!" Trucy greeted us. She was doing homework on her computer.

"Hey, Trucy!" Athena greeted her back.

"How was the investigation?" Trucy asked.

"Sava is no longer confessing to the crime, and we found out who the real killer is." I explained.

"Awesome!" Trucy smiled. Mr. Wright came in as well.

"Hello, Apollo, Athena. How was the investigation?" He asked.

I restated what I had told Trucy. Phoenix was opening his mouth to talk, when he was interupted by the sound of the front door opening.

"NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCKKKK!" I heard a feminine voice yell. A girl ran in. Her black hair was done up in a bun surrounded in pearls, and she had a necklace with more pearls on it and an orange magatama. She wore elegant gold robes, with pink accents, and brown sandals.

Mr. Wright had a shocked look on his face.

"Maya!?" He asked in shock.

To be continued...
