Well, this is a surprise. Charles seems to think that Zelos killed Kate Ashford. But instead of going in for the kill, he decides to get more information from the others. Will they finger Zelos as a murderer? Read on!
Don't own anything other than the made up characters.
CHAPTER FIVE: SHEENA'S INTERROGATION
Although Charles could have interrogated Zelos to find out the truth behind Kate, he decided that it would be best to gather information about the situation before Kate was murdered. He wanted to see what the others thought about Zelos so he decided to interrogate Sheena first. Sheena was found in the kitchen, making a sandwich when Charles came walked in.
"Mmmm…sandwich," Charles said to himself. "I need Jean to make me one right now…"
"Oh!" Sheena exclaimed. "I didn't see you there."
"Uh…Ms. Fujibayashi, right?"
"Call me Sheena."
"Right, Sheena, it's your turn."
"Okay, just let me finish my sandwich."
Charles and Sheena walked into the interrogation room. They saw maids finishing their cleaning and two guards carrying in a new table.
"What happened to the other table?" Sheena asked.
"The other table was…wobbly. We had to get rid of it."
"……who was in here last?"
"Colette Brunel. Why?"
"……let me guess. She got angry and smashed the table in half."
"How could you tell?"
"The fist marks on the remainder of the table. It clearly shows."
"……I see…"
After the maids and guards left, Charles and Sheena continued their conversation.
"So, what did you think of Kate Ashford?"
"She was an egotistic, narrow-minded, daughter of a monster, washed up pop princess!"
"Wow…so many negative words…"
"Not to mention all around worst person in the world!"
"Alright…alright, I get the point. You hated Kate Ashford. Can I ask why?"
"Besides the fact that she was an evil witch?"
"Uh…yeah…"
"Well…I don't know…I mean all the things I just said about her…I can't think of anything else…"
"Well, maybe it's because she took your place as the emissary of peace."
"What? Was I even considered?"
"I thought you knew."
"Nope. Never knew about the job."
"………well, could you give me more insight about the conversation Kate had with Zelos before she died?"
"… … …"
"Is there something that you need to tell me?"
"……yes, there is…"
"What is it, then?"
"The conversation Zelos had with Kate…"
Begin Flashback
Sheena narrating: Using my expert hearing, I heard the conversation that Zelos was having with Kate. I moved a little closer, listening to what they had to say…
"Kate," Zelos said.
"Zelos," Kate replied.
"What are you doing here?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Don't start this game with me."
"Oh, Zelos, what's wrong? Just because I broke up with you doesn't make you less of a person."
Zelos became steaming mad.
"You…you…" Zelos was speechless.
"Don't feel bad. Maybe you'll find yourself someone one day…or, maybe someone dumb enough to end up with you."
She started to laugh wildly and walked off. Zelos stormed out of the room and sulked in another room.
Sheena narrating: I confronted Zelos to see what was going on, although I already knew what happened. When I confronted Zelos, he was still sulking…
"Zelos, are you okay?" Sheena asked.
"Just leave me alone, okay," Zelos replied, obviously defensive. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Just ignore her, she's nothing special."
"You don't understand. She's the only one that is able to resist me! I can't stand that! On top of that, she thinks she's better than me! No one breaks up with me and shows me up and gets away with it! Nobody!"
Insert odd silence here.
"Just go, Sheena. Don't worry about me."
"Alright, if you insist…"
Sheena walked off, leaving Zelos in deep thought.
End Flashback
"And that's what happened," Sheena said.
"So Zelos was upset that Kate Ashford broke up with him, eh?" Charles scribbled on his notepad, "Zelos is looking more and more like the main suspect. Require more evidence to support this," he mumbled.
"What!" Sheena exclaimed. "How could you think Zelos is a murderer!"
"You heard me?" Charles asked, very surprised.
"I have expert hearing remember! You can't say that Zelos is a murderer!"
"Well, I have my sources and they heard that Zelos stated that he would kill Kate Ashford. You said that Zelos hated and resented the fact that she broke up with him. It seems made apparent to me, Ms. Fujibayashi that Zelos is the murderer! Although, I need more proof of that before I can do anything…"
"……Zelos was always a pervert, but I never doubted that he is a good person when it came down to it. He could never be a murderer."
"……I'm sorry, Sheena, but until I see otherwise, Zelos is our prime suspect for now. You can take your leave."
Sheena made her way to the door. "You're making a big mistake."
"Then let us hope that I am wrong."
Jean walked through the door. "Did you want me sir?"
"Yes, Jean, I want a sandwich. Hurry up and make me one."
So this chapter ends with a sad ending (and a sandwich!). Is Zelos really the prime suspect? There's more to come in the next chapter!
