Day 2

Manfed von Karma was patiently awaiting his next visitor, who was due to arrive in 3 minutes. He wasn't told who the visitor would be, so he had to guess as to who it might be. And so 3 minutes passed.

Then 5 minutes.

Then 10 minutes.

Then 20 minutes.

von Karma was furious at being kept waiting so long, ''Guard!'' he bellowed ''Did you give me the wrong time?''

''N-no'' the young guard responded, visibly shaken at the outburst, ''He must be r-running late. Oh wait, here he is now!''

von Karma looked down the corridor. He saw a man he didn't recognise. He looked to be in his mid twenties. He had brown, spiky hair, was wearing an orange jacket, and had an idiotic look on his face. Manfed was not looking forward to this.

''Sorry I'm late man, got stuck in traffic.'' The man responded, putting a hand through his messy hair, ''Hope you weren't waiting too long.''

''Who are you?'' von Karma asked coldly.

''Huh? You don't remember me? That's not cool man!'' The man was on the verge of tears now, ''I was the best witness ever, I helped Nick set Edgey free!''

And the penny dropped in Manfred's mind, ''You're Larry Butz.''

''You do remember!'' The tears were still in Larry's eyes, but they were tears of happiness now.

von Karma, however, was shaking with fury. This was the man that had rushed to the witness stand after the guilty verdict had already been passed down. His ridiculous testimony revealed the true time of death of Richard Hammond, which in turn ruined Manfred's entire plan.

And now he was forced to talk to this moron.

''What possible reason could you have for coming here?'' von Karma asked, trying hard to remain calm.

''Well, I've got a new girlfriend you see, her's name Alixana, she's really pretty and she's from Jamaica, you know? Anyway, I was telling her about how I gave testimony in court, and how you were the prosecutor, and she was like ''Wow, Manfred von Karma, he's undefeated, right?'' and I was like ''Yeah, but he's in prison now, want to visit him with me?'' and she was like ''Hell yeah!'' but she had to go back to Jamaica cuz her dad was sick, so -

''GET TO THE POINT!'' von Karma screamed. This was turning into a gigantic waste of time.

Larry jumped at the yell, but then he settled down. And his face changed, von Karma could see. He looked serious now.

''So I thought I would visit you myself, and give you a message. Your plan didn't work. Edgey is fine. In fact, me, Nick, Edgey, Maya and the big detective dude all went out a few nights ago to celebrate Edgey's not guilty verdict. He was a little anti-social but that's normal for him. And you're stuck in here, rotting away. So everyone gets what they deserve. So yeah, I just wanted to say that to your face. Later.

And then Larry was walking back down the corridor, only a few minutes after arriving. von Karma didn't have time to respond, though it's not as if he could think of anything to say. He was dumbstruck. From what we saw of the man in court, Larry Butz was a blihtering idiot who just happened to say the right thing that the defense lawyer could take advantage of. It was strange how Manfred could unsettle someone as cunning as Gant the day before, yet this buffoon had just made him speechless in such a short time.
