"All rise," the woman said sternly. I silently heaved a sigh of relief when I stood up. This case was too much of a trap and I'm happy that I could figure it out sooner.

Flashback

There was several transactions in his account, all of them above $100,000. My fingers hovered above the keyboard. I was informed that this lawyer has not been given any jobs this whole year. Why is there so much money?

It's a trap. This lawyer is involved of corruption. I checked back to his transactions carefully.

March 21, March 24, April 13, April 19, April 20, April 22, April 24.

March 21 is the day when we contacted him. March 24 is the day we told him he was fit to be the lawyer of this case. April 13 is the day we told more about the details. April 19 is the day we had several test to check if he was corrupted. April 20 is the day he first met the princes when we had our first meeting. April 22 is when we registered our court date. April 24...just recently, we told him about the court date.

Jotting down the clues, I made my call to the FBI immediately, if this case wasn't solve within today, we will no doubt lose the case tomorrow.

End Of Flashback

I smiled a little at the lawyer who was well experienced. We had asked him today urgently and he said it was fine. He only had three hours to study in the case but he did pretty well on the court.

"It's great that we won, but why does the lawyer seem to have changed, or is it just me?" Aslan said suspiciously.

"I'll tell you the details later," I said abruptly leaving the courtroom. I'm going to have another meeting at the FBI, we were having plans to arrest the previous lawyer. He had already pleaded guilty but he just wouldn't tell us who bribed him. What an arrogant guy. Guess I'll have to use another way.

"What if I tell you, I have your mother, and she's just seconds away from death?" I said menacingly, walking around the room with a steady pace.

"You can't kill her, it's against the law," he snarled angrily and I just laugh,"Oh dear, you may be a lawyer, but there's just too much stuff that you don't know, I can kill your mother with my bare fingers and nobody will know."

He gritted his teeth angrily and glared at me. "Glare at me all you want, your mother is next door and I bet she wouldn't be happy that you would rather protect someone else than her."

I peered into his face, he wasn't going to give up anytime soon. I turned my back to him and whispered some words into the speaker.

A loud sound vibrated through the room and a woman started screaming. He looked shocked and covered his ears and whispered his mother's name over and over again.

Great, mental breakdown.

"I give up, he's having a mental breakdown. Let him cool down for two to three hours and get someone else to question him."

Sieg's Point Of View

We were all sipping on tea and talking leisurely. Krystal had just arrived a few minutes ago and showed us evidence about the previous lawyer.

"I have to go to court once again for this case, this must be the busiest week for me," she admitted while we flipped through the files.

"I can't believe what he would do for money," Hayden said while closing his file.

"My prediction is he didn't do it for money, but for something else. The fee when he won the case was much higher and he knew it, so why did he do that?" Krystal said with a sigh.
