A/N: In this chapter…

We have a list of suspects.

Ruby learns of certain things.

Yang is…Yang.

"So, you're gonna find out what happened to Mom?" Ruby's eyes widened "Thank you Blake, oh thank you!" She jumped up and embraced her coworker.

Blake frowned. "Don't thank me just yet. I might not know who really did it in the end. Besides, you should be thanking Head Honcho over there." She gestured to Ozpin, who appeared to be in a heated discussion with Officer Goodwitch, or as they called her, the Wicked Witch of the West.

"I don't care, Blake, you're the one doing it!" Ruby squeezed harder.

"Ruby, stop! I can't breathe!" Blake gasped

Ruby released her friend and smiled sheepishly "Sorry, Blake. I'm just so glad to get some closure. I miss her so much."

"Guys! I've got something!" Weiss ran at top speed down the hall, files in hand. "There's a list of potential suspects at the scene!"

Blake narrowed her eyes. "In my office. Now."

Yang swung her legs over Bumblebee's seat. She stuck her keys in, revved up the engine and sped off to the station. Cripple or not, she was gonna kill Blake. Nobody planned to hurt her baby sister like that and lived to tell the tale. Nobody insulted the memory of her mother and went on living like before.

Yang was angry. She didn't care how long they locked her away for, she didn't care what if they called her crazy. She was gonna march in there and get Blake off that case or die trying.

"Raven Branwen?" Ruby looked at Blake incredulously. "Yeah, right."

"I'm not sure she's all that innocent, Ruby. She was at the scene, and she was covered in blood." Weiss took off her glasses. "Ruby, there's a lot of evidence pointing toward her."

"Still, she had no weapon." Blake stated "It's possible she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. There's no body, remember?"

"Then let's go on to Suspect Number Two. Neopolitan Labelle. Found at the scene with a knife, although not with any traces of blood. At all. Like Raven, she was covered in blood. No other evidence was found at the scene linking her to the deceased." Weiss shook her head "I don't know why you even took this case. Ugh."

The door slammed open. "Hey Blake." Yang stood in the doorway, hands curled into fists. "Let's you and me have a little chat, shall we?"

"Yang. Calm down." Weiss approached the blonde brawler "Riby is fine. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. Why are you so upset?"

"Out of the way." Yang shoved Weiss aside vehemently. She walked up to Blake and grabbed her by the collar. "You. How could you? That's my mom!" Yang punched her straight in the face.

"Nobody insults my mother like that! You're just gonna hurt Ruby. You'll hurt me, Dad, everyone,"

Her face contorted into a look of even further rage "And I won't let that happen!" With that, Yang kicked Blake in the gut, sending her straight to the cold, hard floor.

"Yang! Stop!" Yang turned to see Ruby run across the room to Blake. "Yang, don't you want closure? Blake is trying to help us! Can't you see that?"

Yang growled "Ruby, as your big sister, I'm just trying to protect you from getting hurt!"

Ruby sighed "Yang, this is just like Dad said. Don't let your rage control you."

Yang shook her head "Whatever. Just know, I'm not going down that easy. I will do my best to get this case thrown out." She stormed out.

A/N: So, um that was a thing. Yup. Hoping for the kindness of a review? I did update on the same day as the upload. Also, I need somebody to draw some cover art? PM me or leave a review. Cheers,
