Siko: So, uh, as I already stated, our fifth "witness" has chosen to remain anonymous.

Crawford: Why didn't you give us that option?!

Siko: Well…uh…you're not special enough!

Crawford: …I'm not…? *bottom lip begins to tremble*

Nagi: Oh, boy, you've done it now.

Crawford: B-but Barney says that everyone is special in his or her own way! *sobs*

Siko and Eiko-chan: *sweatdrop*

Schu: *slowly inching away…*

Siko: And where do you think *you're* going?

Schu: To, um, use the bathroom, yeah! *starts running, but is suddenly caught in one of those big nets* AHHH!

Siko: *smirks*

Farfello: *goes over and starts poking Schu with his knife through the net*

Schu: Ow! Quit it!

Farfello: *pokes*

Schu: Ow! Quit it!

Farfello: *pokes*

Schu: Ow! Quit it!

Farfello: *pokes*

Schu: Ow! Quit it!

Nagi: *hand to head*

(someone walks out, face blurred, but it's clear that they're wearing a black halter top…)

Nagi: You?!

Crawford: You!

Farfello: Punch and pie!

Eiko-chan: This is Mary. She's our star witness.

Mary: Couldn't you have given me a better name?

Eiko-chan: Live with it!

Mary: *crosses arms, then looks over at Schu and his "situation" and gasps* What have they done to you, muffin?!

Schu: Um, do I know you? *shifts uncomfortably*

From somewhere in the background…

???????: Wait, Aya-kun! That's not Takatori, that's a roast chicken!

??????: Shi-NE! *splattering sounds*

Nagi: …what's that noise?

Mary: My…friends are waiting in the lobby for me.

Siko: Now, Mary, may I ask you what you were doing in the humble Schwarz abode during the night in question?

Mary: I was visiting my boyfriend, Schu.

Crawford: *eyes widen*

Schu: *sweatdrop* Heh heh heh, I have no idea what he's talking about…

Farfello: *pokes*

Schu: Ow! Quit it!

Mary: And it all started around 9 that night…

Ooh, one chapter closer to the last! Relieving, ne?
