CHAPTER 9 – Convicted. – Part 1

Kat made a trip to Faust's room on her way back from the shops. On arriving at the building however, she saw the cool flashing of red and blue lights. Breaking into a run, she dashed into the apartments. A cop stopped her. "Stay back miss, we're apprehending a murderer." Kat could only watch as they dragged Faust from the room and ducked him into a car.

"Where are they taking him?!"

"He's being taken into custody…"

"On what charges?"

"The Murder of Kelly Rose." Kat looked at Faust, meeting his cold empty eyes through the glass. The car started and drove him away. "Do you know him Miss?" Kat ignored the officer and headed away, back towards Yoh's house, and a warm shoulder to catch her falling tears.

Faust sat on the cold chair, in the cold room with the cold table in front of him. On the table were photographs of that girl, Kelly someone…Faust vaguely remembered her, but only vaguely. The Investigator before him was talking, but Faust didn't really hear what they were saying. He was swinging Kats Pendent in front of his eyes, admiring the intricate design. "Dr.Faust!" The shout of the man caught a slither of Faust's attention as he rolled his heavy blue eyes up to look at him, his usual out of place smile fixed on his lips. "Where is Kelly Rose?!"

"Kelly who?" Faust said in his cool voice. The investigator pushed forwards a picture again

"Kelly Rose Faust, the one you killed…"

"Kelly…Kelly…no…I don't think so, but then…never know their names do we beloved?" Faust drew his eyes back to the necklace. "No, not beloved anymore…Kat says to let go." Suddenly the door to the interrogation room burst open. It was enough to completely draw Faust's attention long enough to see that it was Kat closely followed by an officer.

"I'm sorry sir." The Officer stuttered to the investigator. "She just ran in…" The investigator waved a dismissive hand as Kat moved towards Faust. She knelt down beside him.

"Faust…Who's Kelly Rose?" She asked.

"I don't know." Faust replied.

"Think Faust. These men would not have bought you here without good reasons…think back. Kelly Rose." She held the photograph to his face.

"Kelly… bone… Patella."

"Faust?"

"Patella…" he looked at her. "The kneecap. Eliza hurt her pretty knees…I had to find another pretty knee for her…"

"You killed her for her knee bone?" The investigator clarified. Faust ignored him and held the necklace to Kat.

"They tried to take it, but I kept it safe for you." Kat smiled slightly and took the chain from him.

"Thank you." She stood and looked to the investigator. "A word sir?" He looked puzzled, but followed her out.

"Where are you going Katherine?" Faust called her.

"I'll be back in a minute, I promise you." He seemed satisfied with her answer and sat back in the chair starting to hum his usual soft maniacal tune.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you've saved this story...(Or what was left of it). I feel the fire of inspiration once again!

Trapper Chavez, I promise I will use some of your brilliant suggestions, but first I need to set a grounding for them… :-)
