criminal case: oneshots of chaos

chapter 9: the horror of what a "friend" can do to you

summary: part 2 of "you tricked me", lazara and russell confront freddie and find yann, who isn't in a good state.

Russell: Freddie Alonzo, you're under arrest for the murder of Dinah Cooper.

Freddie: Look, the Carnival has already suffered a setback with Dinah's death, I really can't deal with your vile accusations right now!

Russell: Well, maybe we have the wrong guy then, don't we, lazara? I mean, you can't always be right, I guess, All we know is the Puppeteer is a selfish, cold-hearted killer, They think they're liberating children from their parents, when really they're destroying the children's lives.

lazara: your right.

Freddie: Wait, you don't know that, look at me, I was one of the children left behind, and I'm doing fine, And so is Louie!

Russell: Your parents were the first to die. Were they too controlling, is that it, Freddie? Is that why you killed them?

Freddie: I've told you, I'm not the Puppeteer!

Russell: But you fit the profile, the Puppeteer is some weak, middle-aged man now who still think he's a child, It's kind of pathetic, really, having to kill just to feel good about yourself, am i right, lazara?

lazara: you are right russell.

Freddie: That's not why I kill! My parents never let me do anything...kids are meant to be free, but it felt like prison, so I decided to show my parents what it was like to be controlled...They didn't like it much, but I never felt so alive! I felt sorry for the other kids, I wanted them to be free too, I wanted to share their joy!

Russell: You just didn't want to be all alone-you wanted some human connection, But you never found it, so you kept killing...

lazara: but fact is, you'll always be lonely, because of who you are!

Freddie: What have you ever done with your life?! I will be remembered for ever in Jazz Town! I was the boy who dared to dream and make his own life as he pleased!

Russell: You'll more likely be remembered as a balding creep who killed innocent citizens, A bad dream, Ah good, lazara, I see you've got the handcuffs ready for the arrest!

freddie: you can't do this to me!

lazara: tell us where yann is! we know you had something to do with it! just tell us where yann is!

freddie:'smirks'

russell: why are you smirking?

freddie: and why should I tell you where he is? You don't know this about me, but i loved yann ever since we were little, well, when he was little, i was around 18 years old when his parents died, i've always loved him, i just could never gain the courage to tell him how I felt it, Then I saw how miserable he was, I knew I had to free him, And now he will belong to me, He will always belong to me!

russell: your insane!

freddie: no i'm not! i'm just saying the truth! i have always loved yann!

lazara: you were basically in love with a minor when you were younger! now tell us where yann is right now!

freddie: no! he belongs to me! besides, i already had some of my fun with him, he has a very talented mouth, i can see why that whore liked him so much.

russell: you are a sick man! lazara, take him away, i'll try to get his address, yann might be in freddie house right now!

lazara:'handcuffs freddie and puts him in the police car'
