CHAPTER FOURTY-FOUR: THE TRIAL

INTERROGATION ROOM…

"He told me that if I do it he'll be free and we would start a life together. You know, the white picket fence and all. I love him, so I agreed." Ayame said as tears from in her eyes.

"So, how did you manage to get CSI I.D. and a bomb, I doubt you made them." Touya asked wanting to cover all bases before he end the interrogation.

"He told me to go to a friend of his in a secret place and asked him to make me a fake CSI employee I.D. and then he asked me to open his safety box where a small pipe bomb is located, he thought me how to activate it and where to place the bomb." Ayame answered before she burst int. tears.

"What safety box? Touya asked not remember seeing box on Kens house.

"Ken asked me to keep the safety box for him."

"So, you were hiding a bomb for him and you know about it." Jamie said incredolously.

"No, he didn't told me what's inside it and I never ask." Ayame explained stopping her tears.

"Okey, before we end this, I want you to give me the adress of the secret place, then I'll process your senience and talk to the D.A. personally to lower your sentence."Touya said handing a paper and pen to Ayame as she wrote the adress and hand it back to Touya. "Thanks, and by the way, you need to attend the hearing tomorrow." Touya added.

"Am I free to go? Ayame asked as she watch Touya stand up from his sit while Jamie gathered the folder in front of him.

"You need to go back to your cell for a while but I'll have your release paper later today, then you can go home." Touya answered with a smile.

"Thank you!" Ayame said looking at Touya.

"Ms. Asukara, where are your parents? Jamie asked after she had gathered all the folders on the desk including Ayame's medical record.

"They're currently staying in my place, why?" Ayame asked a little alarmed.

"While I was asking for your medical record to confirm my theory, the doctor sent it to me has also sent me your recent test result you had asked him and it's atated there that your two months pregnant." Jamie simple said and left without another word while Ayame 

process the reality that she was pregnant with Ken's child as a uniform officer entered the interrogation room to put handcuffs on Ayame and escort her back to her cell temporarily.

Touya grab Jamie's arm before she could live the building. He had been calling her name and asking her to stop but even she walk even faster.

"Are you mad at me?" Touya asked finally when Jamie was turned and looking right back at him.

"No, I'm not." Jamie answered stiffly.

"Jamie don't even lie to me, I know you better than that so spill it out." Touya said as he treid to think the reason why Jamie is mad at him.

"Fine, you want me to spill it out… the truth is I don't know, part of me is mad at you for making a deal with her, she deserved to go to prison, because of her a lot of cases will be thrown out to court of contaminated evidence and the same time part of me understand why you did it." Jamie said finally all the thinking, starvness,confussion,sleeplessness and the pain on her arm and the headache forming had taken its toll and Touya didn't miss it." I just don't know, I'm so confuse." Jamie added.

Touya didn't say anything for a while, he simply reached for Jamie and hug her, they stayed like that for a while when he felt Jamie's pigure going lime, she had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, Touya sign before lifting Jamie up bridal style and carried her to his car and drove towards his house, and there he called Mike to ask him to handle everything back at CSI while Jamie rest then he called detective Sanada and gave him the address Ayame gave him and ask him to arrest the perp and to handle the release paper for Ayame, Touya also asked him to drop Ken Ikusawa's case file in his house.

Tokyo maximum prison… Ken Ikusawa was laying on his bed inside the cell when he heard two prisoner's talking…

"Did you hear the about the bomb explosion in the DNA LAB?" a deed voice asked.

"No, why?" another voice with lighter tone asked back.

"My lawyer told me about it and his going to motion for a mistrial, anyway my lawyer said that they had caught the bomber and you wont believe it, I mean, I called my old man and told him about it and he didn't believe me at the first but when he saw it on T.V. theres no doubt about it." The deep voice said while Ken listened intently." Can you believe it, the bomber is a woman and they had arrested her a couple of hours ago."the deep voice added and laugh heartily when he saw his friend's reaction.

Ken sat bolt upright and cursed Ayame for ruening his well think plan.

'Dam her.' Ken thought aware that the cops are on his tail again.

Minamino Resident…



"Tomorrow is the day of the trial." Shuuichi whispered behind botan as he hug her from the back.

Botan was standing on the hotel balcony that they are currently staying at because of the trial. It would have been a romantic site to see, if only they were there for something else and not trial. Not only that, they got a call from Touya about the lab, Although,Touya told them not to worry, Botan can't help but too. She'd seen it on T.V. case being thrown out to court due to contaminated evidence, but then again, part of her believe Touya.

"Yeah!" Botan simply said as she lean on Shuuichi's chest.

"Touya called again." Shuuichi said after a few minute of silence past.

"How's Jamie?" Botan asked breaking from Shuuichi's hold and look at his face.

"She's okay, just a little tired, but that's not why he called." Touya said touching Botan's cheek still marvelling how lucky he was for not loosing her after everything that had happen.

"Why did he called then?" Botan asked holding Shuuichi's hand that was touching her cheek breaking Shuuichi from his thoughts.

"Oh, he said the D.A. called and they motioned for trial and the judge accepted so, tomorrow instead of prileminary trial,it would be the trial itself, no more preliminary." Shuuichi simply said looking down at Botan.

"Did he tell you why the judge accepted the D.A.'s motion?" Botan asked stiffling a yawn.

"No, he didn't , anyway you're tired and we need to go to trial tomorrow so we better go sleep now." Shuuichi said as he guide Botan to their bedroom.

TRIAL COURT (THE NEXT DAY)…

"This is a lot charges filed against you Mr. Ikusawa." The judge said after the case filed was read.

"Yes, you're honor." Ken said still standing together with the D.A. lawyer. "before we begin your honor, I want to file evidence contamination." Ken added before the judge could begin the trial.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ikusawa but but you must be aware that you can't file for evidence contamination." The judge said looking at Ken.

"I could file for evidence contamination your honor, according to the information I gathered the DNA LAB was blown up, contaminating all the evidence inside." Ken said looking at the judge.

"First of all, you are charge for bombing the lab and secondly all evidence pertaining to this case are all inside the evidence vault at the time of the bombing so there's no evidence 

contamination." The judge answered then asked Ken to sit down so Raiko the prosecutor could begin the case.

"Thank you your honor, shall we start with the resent charges." Raiko said the jury.
