RECAP:
JAPAN PRISON...
"Mr. Ikusawa, are you sure you don't want me to represent you?" A man voice asked as he look at Ken who is sitted in front of him with his head down.
Ken look up from where he was looking and up to the man who is in front of him. "I don't need your service." Ken hissed at him before adding, "I can handle myself."
Chapter Fourty-Three: Interrogation Part I
CSI LAB (DAY BEFORE THE HEARING)...
Jamie was in the layout room finishing a last minute detail for the hearing tomorrow when a small explosion rack the whole lab. Jamie, after the explosion, went out of the layout room and saw fire inside the DNA lab which is one door across the layout room. Everything around her became like a scene on a movie, some male staff of the lab use fire estinguisher to try to put out some of the fire before it get big, fire sprinkler started to soak the DNA lab while the sound of sirens can be heard. After a few minutes, fireman appear on the scene releaving the CSI staff from what they were doing. Thankfully no one was hurt bad though there were minor cuts and bruises.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER...
Touya entered the CSI LAB in long quick stride looking for Jamie and he spotted her inside the burned DNA lab crouching like she was looking for something.
"Jamie, are you okay?" Touya asked approaching her.
"I'm fine, but we got a bigger problem. I'm sure that the defense attorney will argue that our DNA evidence had been contaminated by the explosion, and those evidence are our key evidence. I don't think we can make a case against him with these evidence if he argued its contaminated, and the jury might rule the evidence out." Jamie said straightening up from her previous position.
"Damn!" Touya cursed just the thought that they had Ken, but because something like this had happen, there's a chance that the charges against Ken would be drop because of insuficient evidence. "I got the feeling Ken had something to do with this." Touya said looking around him.
"How can you say that? There's a lot of possible cause for an explosion especially in the DNA lab." Jamie said but at the same time she was looking at the only evidence that would tell the whole story for the explosion, the security camera on the hallway that was facing the DNA lab the time of the explosion.
"For the fact, that he declined the defense attorney given to him by the government, and get this, according to the lawyer, Ken said he can manage on his own. Meaning his representing himself or he knows something like this would happen." Touya said following Jamie's line of vision.
"You're right." Jamie said then motioned for Touya to follow her. "Are you ready to catch the bad guy Detective?" Jamie added as she open the door to the security camera room.
"Sure, what do you got for me?" Touya asked rubbing his hands together.
"A picture of our bomber and a data base that could run faces and give us his current address." Jamie said as she played the right tape and stop when she saw instead of a man (since most bombers are man), was a woman with a purse entering the DNA lab, a fake personel I.D. hanging on her neck (A/N: Just in case your wondering how Jamie know she's a fake well, first because she hadn't seen her artound the lab and second, no purse or anything allowed inside the DNA lab, don't want to contaminate the evidence). "Bingo!" Jamie added enhancing the image before running it on the lab's data base stopping to a working license.
Name: Asukara, Ayame
Age: 25
Job: Personal Secretary, Ikusawa's Law Firm
Address: 19 Drive, Tokyo, Japan.
Driver's License: 3157602
Touya copied down all the information about Ayame while Jamie run the driver's license in the DMV data base.
"She's driving a latest black BMW siries, license number DPA168" Jamie said as Touya took note.
"I'll put up an alert on her car and I'll call you when I got her." Touya said and left to make an arrest while Jamie process the tape and the scene.
As they both went to work, only one thing runs in their heads, Ken Ikusawa is the one who planned the bombing of the DNA lab and Asukara Ayame is a victim as well like Sean.
JAPAN'S POLICE DEPARTMENT OUTSIDE THE INTERROGATION ROOM (HALF AN HOUR LATER)...
"How did you find her?" Jamie asked stopping outside the door to look at Touya.
"Well, I put up an alert on her car on every police department like I said while at the same time, I tried the law office where she works." Touya said his hand on the door handle.
"And how did you get her?"
"With a little car chase with the police and a block highway." Touya answered as they both smiled to each other knowingly before entering the interrogation room.
INTERROGATION ROOM...
"Are you sure you want this lawyer?" Touya asked eyeing the woman in question. "You see, you already broke the law when you sped away from the patrol car when it was flagging you down, that's five years in prison and then there's this also resisting an arrest which is another five years in prison and of course, let's not forget about the bomb charge, assaulting law officers, Accessory to create bodily harm (A/N: Accessory after the fact meaning a person who knowingly conceals or assists another who has committed a felony) and evidence contamination, how long do you think those sentence would last." Touya added when Ayame tried to answer back her lawyer cut her out by telling her to keep quiet.
"Your fishing detective." the lawyer said in return to Touya.
"Oh, am I, she really doesn't have to say anything because we got evidence that could put her on the scene and evidence to connect her to the bomb." Touya said intimidating Ayame and her lawyer.
"I didn't assault any law officer..." Ayame said but she was cut again by her lawyer.
"Yes, you did, you blow up the DNA lab which is a federal building, hurting some of the workers there so it's considered a felony. Now, you better tell your lawyer to let you talk to us or I'll hand the case to the FBI." Touya said and watch as Ayame and her lawyer talk for a while.
"Okay." Ayame said finally, after five minutes. "I'll answer everything you'll ask." Ayame added looking at her lawyer and saw him looking at Touya.
"That is a good decision." Touya said pulling a chair beside Jamie who was sitting and watching the whole exchange.
"Now, before we start, my client is about to tell you information that could convict your suspect so, it's only fair to have a deal." Ayame's attorney said before anyone can say something.
"I'll drop the charges from her running away from the law which is a five years prison time, resisting an arrest which is also a five years prison time, as well as assaulting an officer, accessory after the fact is fifteen to sixteen years in prison, and the same goes with contaminating the evidence fifteen to sixteen years. So that's what 45-47 years in prison." Touya said looking at Ayame's lawyer, "Now, it's either you take it or leave it." Touya added.
"We'll take it." Ayame's lawyer answered and nodded to both Touya and Jamie for them to continue.
"How long have you been working for Mr. Ikusawa as a personal secretary?" Touya asked crossing his arms as Jamie listens.
"For almost 6 years now." Ayame answered without hesitation.
"What do you do for himexsactly?" Touya asked.
"I do basically everything for him." Ayame said looking at Touya and Jamie. "I do his laundry sometimes, cook for him in my apartment while he stays there for the night because of a case we need to prepare with for court the next day or so." Ayame added when Touya was about to ask her to specify.
"Are you involve with Ken Ikusawa?" Jamie asked before Touya could asked the same question he had in mind.
"If what you mean by involve is having a relationship, I would say no, what Ken and I have is not a relationship but and understanding." Ayame said as she entwine both her hands together. "An understanding, that we both have sex together every now and then but strictly no string attach." Ayame added to further explain.
"And let me guess, you broke the understanding, you fell in love with him." Jamie asked without even moving an inch from her position.
"How can you tell wether I broke the understanding or not?" Ayame asked a little shock that someone saw through her facade.
"I guess that's a yes." Jamie said looking at Ayame. "Did you ever told him how you feel?" Jamie added as Touya and Ayame's Attorney tried to follow Jamie's line of thinking.
"Of course not!" Ayame answered with a little hint of unsureness present in her voice.
"You sure? I mean in the heat of passion, hot jungle sex, maybe you're so cope up with it that you had uttered those three words without realizing it until it was said." Jamie said trying to see if her suspicion is correct especially after seeing Ayame's medical record.
"Fine, yes, I had slip and told him I love him and no, he didn't take it well." Ayame said as she instinctively reach for her left shoulder.
"And that's when you got your left shoulder dislocated and two sets of ribs broken." Jamie said getting the medical records out from the folder she was holding and showing it to everyone.
"Look, I don't see what my clients relationship and medical records had anything to do with the bombing." Ayame's attorney said eyeing both Touya and Jamie.
"It's important in presenting it to the jury, jury likes story telling." Jamie simply answered.
"And what did the jury learned from that?"
"The jury would learn that you're client had broke the understanding making Ken angry, angry enough to dislocate your clients left shoulder and broke two sets of her ribs, His angry because he was only using your client for past time while he make his move to another girl." Touya explained looking at Ayame's lawyer then to Ayame before adding. "Now, according from the phone record, I had pulled, you got a call from Ken in one of the phones in the prison, in that call did he asked you to bomb the DNA lab for him so he can file for evidence contamination?"
"Yes." Ayame simply answered.
"I want to know exsactly how your conversation went from the start till the end." Touya simply said.
"I have a copy of our conversation on the tape." Ayame said then added, "My phone records all of my conversation, so if clients called with threats I can easily get a T.R.O." when she saw Touya and Jamie's expression.
"I see, I'll be needing that tape." Jamie said, "Why did you do what he told you to do after what he did to you?" Jamie added asking the question that's been bugging her, what had push Ayame to bomb a Federal building for a man who had hurt her.
Well, that's it for this chapter, is it long enough? I think it is anyway please review and tell me what you think!!!
