Here's Chapter 9! Also, WhiteRose1517, that WAS a Star Wars reference. I encourage you to find all of them. And don't worry, Pyrrha's story is in the next chapter.
"And you were there on the night of the murder?"
Blake's heels clicked on the floor of the room as she circled Pyrrha.
"That's correct." Pyrrha's hands shook in her lap.
"Did you see anyone running from the scene?" Blake asked. Her face was fixed in a cold emotionless stare that chilled Pyrrha's blood.
Pyrrha bit her bottom lip and looked down at the black and white tiled floor, and the the metal chair that cut into her back. "I already told you everything I know."
"We just need to-"
"Rose shot me, Raven found me and gave me a drug. I don't remember anything past that, okay?" Pyrrha was now standing up, her fists no longer folded calmly in her lap, but thrust in Blake's face as if she was about to punch her.
"Ms. Nikos, calm down."
"Calm down? You are accusing me of murder! Yeah, I'm a murder suspect, so I'll just sit down quietly and smile and nod, how about that?"
Blake merely raised an eyebrow. "I am well aware of your predicament."
Pyrrha sat down, covering her hands with her face. "I didn't do this."
"That's up for debate."

"Ms. Branwen, we understand that you had already attempted to kidnap Summer Rose." Weiss sat across from Raven, who was sitting across from Weiss, quivering.
"I can't remember."
Weiss scribbled something down in her notebook.
"And who have you been living with all this time?"
"My brother, Qrow Branwen."
"Older sibling or younger?"
"We're twins. Why does this matter?" Raven stared at Weiss, confused.
"We need all the information we can get. Were you raised by your parents?" Weiss asked.
Raven swallowed.
"Ms. Branwen, answer the question."
"Oh, I can't believe it, we got the tattoos!" Raven gushed, twirling around the sidewalk in pure joy.
Qrow stared down at the pavement, hands in his pockets.
"What could possibly be wrong, brother?" This is the best day ever!"
"Raven, you know what's wrong. They kill people. The moment we got the tattoos…"
"We don't have to pay them to keep us anymore."
"Raven, I've found a guy named Ozpin. He said he'd get us an apartment, and a place at his school. I already agreed."
"How could you?"
"It's for our own good."
"No. We were taken in by the Tribe." Raven placed her left arm on the cheap metal table and rolled up her sleeve. A red tattoo of a bird stood out against her skin.
"I see. That's a criminal organization, correct?"
"Yeah."
"Are you still affiliated with it?"
"I can't believe you! We finally move up in the world and you throw it all away?" Raven slapped her brother in the face.
"Not when I'm driving! That could've killed us!"
"We might as well be dead! You know what happens when someone leaves! That's what happened to our parents, you idiot!"
"Oz will protect us. Besides, we can handle ourselves!"
"Not when they're after us! That's exactly what Mom and Dad said! How could you, Qrow?"
"He'll protect us, Raven! How many times do I gotta tell you that?"
"And you're just going to trust him blindly?"
"He's a police chief, Raven. I trust him."
"How could you?"
"No. I'm not."

"Ms. Nikos, I'm your lawyer, Lie Ren." A man with long black hair and a pink streak walked into the room.
"Hi! I'm first chair, Nora!" An energetic redhead burst into the room.
Jaune shrugged. "They said they were the best."
"Ren, did they really say that? Wow, I can't believe it!" Nora zipped over to Ren, who merely smiled calmly.
He's probably used to this. Pyrrha realized.
"Let's begin."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"I see. You were taken in by Ozpin?"
"That's what I just said."
"That will be all." Weiss took her notepad, got up and said "Someone will be here shortly to take you to the correctional facility."
Raven nodded.

"So you've got all you can?" Ruby asked anxiously.
"Nikos was not very… cooperative," Blake said "She said she didn't remember past being drugged, which is quite believable if you ask me."
"I thought she said she was still conscious?" Weiss inquired skeptically.
The beeping of a phone interrupted the conversation.
Yang Xiao Long (via BeaconMessage™ Group Chat)
To: Blake, Weiss, and Ruby
Come to my place. NOW.
The girls all looked at the message.
Blake glared at Weiss. "Did you remember to tell Yang?"
"Well…"
So that was eventful. Also, I wrote half of this when I finished the assignment early in Science today. My teacher thought it was English, and came over to me (We have this program called French Immersion in Canadian high schools where the arts and math programs are in English, and everything else is in French… ugggh. Anyway, leave a review, a follow or a favourite.
