Back in the defendant's lobby, Dahlia was talking to Phoenix.

"Wow, you're right. This is addicting," Phoenix said, absorbed in Dahlia's Pokémon game.

"See, I told you," Dahlia said triumphantly.

"So, you know what you're doing right?" Phoenix said. "You know, the trial?"

"We know who the killer is, I'm hoping Mia can fill in the gaps," Dahlia said. "I think I can figure it out. Whoa, be careful! I'm running out of Revives."

"Yeah, I got it," Phoenix said. "I can do this."

"If you say so, rookie," Dahlia said.

"Rookie? Not for long," Phoenix said. "Take that!"

"Oh great, now she's got you into it," Mia said, entering the lobby.

"Mia!" Dahlia said. "Did you find anything?"

"I found a few things you might be interested in," Mia said, showing Dahlia a file. "This is some general information on Tender Lender, and details about 'Violetta' the secretary."

Curious, Dahlia opened the file and found the secretary's profile. "Viola Cadaverini?"

"That's her," Mia said. "I didn't really look through it all. I just grabbed anything I could find. Good luck sorting it out."

"Thanks Fey," Dahlia said.

"I need to stop out for a minute," Mia said. "I should be back before the trial starts up again."

"Alright, see you later," Dahlia said, flipping through the file.

"Darn you stupid Feraligatr!" Phoenix said, pounding the buttons in frustration.

"Tell me about it," Dahlia said. "Save for me, will ya?"

"Sure," Phoenix grumbled. "Anything interesting?"

"Take a look," Dahlia said, motioning Phoenix over.

Phoenix closed the gaming device and read over Dahlia's shoulder. "I thought you said her name was Violetta?"

"I did," Dahlia said. "Turns out she's a Cadaverini. They're so kind of mafia group by the looks of it. Viola's grandfather is the leader."

"Seriously?" Phoenix said. "So she's a gangster?"

"I don't see much about her involvement, actually," Dahlia said. "But her grandfather is something to be feared."

"Wow, intense," Phoenix said.

"I know, even the picture is scary," Dahlia said.

"I don't know about that," Phoenix said.

"Well, you wouldn't want to see this guy in person," Dahlia said.

"I could handle it," Phoenix said, hands on hips and a smirk on his face.

"GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"EEK!" Phoenix ran behind the couch.

Furio Tigre stormed into the lobby. "What are youse thinking? Nothing?"

"What the heck?" Dahlia said. She noticed Phoenix behind the couch. Typical.

"That's what I was saying!" Furio said. "Youse don't know who you're messing with. I heard about everything from a couple cops. Youse trying to pin a murder on Violetta, that's just crazy!"

Then what does that make you? Come to think of it, he had some Psyche-Locks on him didn't he? Let's see what I can get out of him. Dahlia pulled out her Magatama and 4 Psyche-Locks appeared over Furio.

"Alright Mr. Tigre, I need to ask you a few questions," Dahlia said.

"I ain't tell youse nothing about Violetta," Furio said.

"You keep calling her that," Dahlia said. "But it Violetta really her name?"

"Okay, now I know youse ain't right in the head," Furio said, snarling.

"No, that's not it," Dahlia said. "Take a look at this."

Dahlia presented Viola's profile. "I believe her true name is Viola Cadaverini, the granddaughter of Bruto Cadaverini. The head of the Cadaverini Family, you know."

Furio clenched his teeth and a Psyche-Lock shattered. "So? Doesn't matter."

"I think that means a lot to you actually," Dahlia said. I think I'm starting to figure this out.

"Really now?" Furio said. "You got a lot of guts, missy."

"It's Ms. Fey, not Ms. Sy," Dahlia said, hands gripped into fists behind her back. "And yes, the Cadaverini Family is very significant to you."

"How so?" Furio said.

Dahlia showed Furio the repair bill she had found at Tender Lender. "This a repair bill for your motorized scooter. Recently, I noticed that another bill was attached to it. A car was hit, and it belonged to the Cadaverinis!"

Furio growled. "Youse were sneaking around my office?"

"Let's stick to the topic," Dahlia said. "In your office was a repair bill for a car owned by the Cadaverinis."

Dahlia showed Furio Viola's profile. "I only know of one Cadaverini associated with Tender Lender, and it's Viola. She was injured in a car accident, wasn't she?"

The second Psyche-Lock broke, and its spiritual fragments dissipated into nothing. Furio tugged on his shirt. "Yeah, that's right. Some lunatic hit her car. Now you know, happy?"

"I'm not finished yet," Dahlia said. "There's more to this. The car belonged to the Cadaverinis, how did you end up paying for it?"

"I did it for Violetta," Furio said. "I had nothing to do with any of it, but I wanted to help her."

"Oh, you're involved," Dahlia said. "You're about as involved as anyone can be."

Dahlia presented the repair bill for Furio's scooter. "Considering you're the one that caused the accident!"

"Graw!" Furio snarled, and another Psyche-Lock was smashed. "None of that matters. The point is, I paid the money for Violetta. Just like I always told her. What does it matter?"

"What matters is that you're still lying!" Dahlia said. Things started falling into place, and the end result infuriated her. "Despite what you've told her, that poor girl means almost nothing to you."

"What did you just say?" Furio said.

"You didn't pay for the repairs because of Viola," Dahlia said. She presented Bruto Cadaverini's profile. "You only did because of her grandfather, the boss of the city's mafia!"

The final Psyche-Lock shattered, and with it Furio's lie. The chains faded away, exposing the truth. The truth looked angry with Dahlia.

"So what?" Furio shouted. "None of it matters anymore! It's over! Youse wasting all of our time with this!"

"I'm not so sure," Dahlia said. "I think it might come in handy, actually."

"Why you little…" Furio cracked his knuckles.

"You gave your warning, I got my truth. I believe this transaction is complete," Dahlia said. She probably should have been scared, but the fact that Furio had lied to Viola angered her too much to care.

Furio glared at her. "One finally warning. Forget about me, youse messing with the boss' granddaughter. The Cadaverini's will come for you, this is your last chance to back off."

Furio left the defendant's lobby, and Dahlia put her Magatama away. She turned to Phoenix. He was still hiding behind the couch. "The scary man is gone now, Nick. It's safe."

Phoenix stood up and rubbed the back of his neck. "Eh-heh, my….pen… rolled under the couch."

Dahlia walked over to her client and smacked the back of his head. "Man up!"

"Ow!" Phoenix said. "Jeez, I should have been hiding from you."

"So you were hiding then?" Dahlia said.

"Whatever," Phoenix said. "What was that anyway? You brought out the charm necklace and suddenly I got this weird vibe. Then you hid the necklace right after Mr. Tiger left, why even bring it out in the first place?"

"It's complicated. Call it a good luck charm," Dahlia said.

"Come to think of it, your co-counsel has one of those too doesn't she?" Phoenix said, scratching his chin.

"It's a family heirloom, I guess," Dahlia said. "Except everyone has their own, so I suppose it's more like a tradition. It's called a Magatama, by the way."

"Why don't you always show it?" Phoenix said.

"I only use it when I need it," Dahlia said. "Like I said, it's complicated."

"Alright then," Phoenix said.

"I think I have all the information I need now," Dahlia said. "Let's get back to the courtroom and finish this."

They met up with Mia in the hallway and the three went inside the courtroom. The judge pounded his gavel and the trial resumed.

"Mr. Butz? Were the police successful in tracking down the secretary?" the judge said.

"Yes Your Honor," Larry said. "The young lady is here and waiting to testify."

"Very well, bring her in," the judge said.

Moment later, a young woman with a sad smile and a head wrapped in bandages stood behind the witness stand.

"Your name and occupation?" Larry said.

"Viola Cadaverini, secretary," Viola said.
