"No! No... No way! Phoenix said." (That is the exact time it takes for that poison to react!)
(Crowd whispers and mutters)
Hold It!
"What... They still sell that stuff...! They...they... They stopped selling that stuff..!" Klavier said. "After THAT trial! Right, Herr Wright?!"
(Oh... Yes, they stopped selling it after THAT trial..)
Phoenix thought.
"Well.. Using logic, why doesn't the wife testify...!" Dustier said.
"Hmm... You have a good idea, Feathah. Very well! We will bring in the victim's wife! Bailiff!"
BANG!
"Witness, state your name and occupation."
"Invintalla Tory Keepier. Call me Tory. Saleswoman."
"Hmm..." Klavier said, trying to hold in his feelings. "Please... Testify about this matter of this... thing... you put in your husband's... drink."
"... Hmm... Ok!" Tory said.
"Hey, boss?" Athena asked.
"What is it, Athena?" Phoenix replied.
"Mr. Gavin is showing a lot of emotion, mainly anger and... Sadness. I think it is about that trial. What is 'that trial'?"
"...sigh... That trial... I'll... Tell you later Athena." Phoenix said.
"...Ok boss..."
Witness Testimony
Atroquinine
Atroquinine is something I sell, Darling!
It's not poison... It's a sugar!
It's a liquid sugar you put into coffee!
I work there, plus it's great!
So it is a tasty, nonpoisonous sugar!
"Wow! Um.. I didn't know that! My wife uses that! I never realized that!" The judge said.
(...Wow!) Phoenix thought.
Witness Testmony
Atroquinine
Atroquinine is something I sell, Darling!
It's not poison... It's a sugar!
Hold It!
"Would you like to try some, for proof?" Phoenix asked.
"Sure, Nix!" Tory said.
"N-Nix?!" Phoenix began to feel a cold sweat.
"Relax, Boss! It makes you sound 20 percent cooler!"
(Twenty percent? How about -10 percent...)
Tory began to drink coffee.
"See, Nix! It's perfectly harml-l-less! Righ-*cough, cough* Right?" Tory stuttered.
"Um, Ms. Tory, are you ok?" Athena said.
"What? You don't believe me?!" Tory said, dropping her clipboard. "I outta-" She grabbed a pencil out of her hair and snapped it.
"Anyway! Moving on!" Tory continued.
It's a liquid sugar you put into coffee!
So it is a tasty, nonpoisonous sugar put into coffee!
I work there, plus it's great!
Hold It!
"Where is there?" Phoenix said.
"Well, duh! The C.O. of Atroquinine! Duh!"
"Ok.. Moving on.. Again." Athena said.
So it is a tasty, nonpoisonous sugar!
(Ugh.. I can't find anything else wrong with this testimony...)
*BANG!*
"I see no other problem with this testimony. I would like to declare this testimony over. Any objections?" The judge said.
"The prosecution has no objections."
(I need to think.. Fast!)
"Very well. If the defense has no objections, I declare this-"
Objection!
*music plays*
"!... Athena?" Phoenix said.
"Your Honor, I-I was hoping to come up with an idea for her to testify for...
I didn't." Athena said.
* music stops*
"Very we-"
OBJECTION!
" A- Athena! That.. Was loud." Phoenix said.
* music starts*
"Your Honor! I have come up with a idea!"
"And what is that, Ms. Cykes?"
"Um.. Uh... Ok! I want the witness to testify about where she was during the murder!" Athena yelled.
"Athena, she was putting 'sugar' in coffee." Phoenix said.
"Oh." Athena realized.
* music stops*
