Casey races down to the classroom where they held the court hearings, and before he even entered the room he could hear Theo doing something. As he opens the door, he sees that Theo is sorting out the tables and putting them in their original places. They HAD left them in complete disarray the last time they had a trial. Theo must have left this to the last minute.

"Theo?"

Theo looks up when he hears Casey and grins. "Oh, hey. You already seen Maya I take it."

"Yea. What have you found may I ask?" Casey chuckles as Theo straightens up and walks over. He was glad to see Theo, despite the fact he had killed Maya and then proceeded to go insane.

"Well, I haven't found much, but me and Guin have discovered that the Mastermind is connected to one of us! We don't know who, but we were looking around the rooms we never entered and found three sets of keys, all identical. One must be Grizzaka's keys, but the mastermind wouldn't have two sets of keys that are the same. It's pointless. So we figured they must belong to someone."

"So the Mastermind has an accomplice?" Casey's eyes widen as Theo nods. So one of them had been deceiving them from the start? Why?!

"Again, don't know who the accomplice is, but either they're dead... Or it's Lily or Rose. Or maybe both."

"Why do you not doubt me?"

"Well you don't fit the quota. You've been basically clueless for the whole time."

"Oh thanks for the compliment," sighs Casey in a sarcastic tone, and Theo laughs, soon joined by Casey. "Ah, okay, so anything else?"

"No, sadly that's all we've found. Sorry Casey," Theo pulls a face, "Whoever is in charge of all this, they've done their best to hide whatever could make us figure things out easily. So you guys might have a difficult court hearing."

"It's fine. Thanks for the info you could find. Now, where next?" Casey bites his lip, having a vague guess as to who he'll see next.

"Dominic and Jarrod, and Camille too if she's not messing around. She's pretty damn hyper now she's dead, for whatever reason. Eh, no restrictions, guess it makes sense. Anyway! I'll see you after the court hearing! Hopefully I'll be alive because you guys would have figured everything out! Don't lose hope dude!" Theo smiles confidently at Casey and the Ultimate Gambler departs, heading up to the library. As he walks, his mind begins working. So there were three sets of keys, one for three people. Grizzaka, the Mastermind, and an accomplice. Either two people had been betraying them from the start, or they were people they'd never even met before. And if it WAS two people out of the group from the start, who would it be? It presumably wouldn't be Guin, or she wouldn't have killed RJ within the first couple days. Camille and Jarrod were too light-hearted, Maya was probably too young, Theo made a bit of sense but then again there was no reasoning or evidence to prove he was with the Mastermind. Same with RJ. And if Lily or Rose were an accomplice or Mastermind, why haven't they killed him yet? What sense would there be there?

Casey's thoughts are halted when Grizzaka appears before him. "Where are you going?" He growls, and Casey sighs.

"I'm going to the library. Why, what's the issue?"

"I've came to get you for the court hearing. Lily and Rose came to look for you but to no avail."

Casey goes to protest that he hasn't seen all the areas yet, but Grizzaka just snarls at him and forces him to retreat back to the main hall, where Lily and Rose are waiting patently for him.

"Oh Casey! What have you found?" Lily asks eagerly, and Rose squeaks in excitement.

"I found from RJ that this place used to be some form of school building. I found freezers of all the past killing games from Maya-"

"Wait, PAST killing games? Meaning others have died here?!" Lily looks shocked as Casey nods.

"Yep, and there were the bodies of our friends too."

"Wait, so if we win, they get revived? But how come the other people didn't get revived?"

"Maybe they didn't guess who was behind all this correctly. Or only one or two people got to escape for some reason. And finally, Theo said he and Guin found three sets of keys for the rooms. One for Grizzaka, one for the Mastermind, and another for presumably an apprentice." Casey and the two girls begin to walk to the class trial room, all impatient.

"So we've had TWO people betraying us? Seriously!? Who could it be then!?" Lily seems annoyed and shocked.

"Well it won't be hard, I hope. If we figure out who the apprentice could be, we might find who the Mastermind is." Casey wipes some swear away from his forehead as they pass the canteen. "Shall we grab a snack before we go..?"

Rosie nods in agreement and Lily nods also, both hungry. They all head into the canteen and each take a handful of sugar sweets: of course they remain silent as they painfully remember Camille and Jarrod. But that was the past. They'd avenge the couple, they'd avenge everyone, and everyone will be revived and happy. That's all that any of them cared about right now: Justice.

Lily bites her lip as she finishes her last sugar sweet. "Do you think we're wasting our time? I mean, we don't have many clues, we don't have a lead as to who the mastermind OR helper could be. What if we get it wrong? What will happen then?"

Rosie and Casey both think for a moment. Rosie 'talks' first.

"We'll just have too work with what we have. It's the only way." Rosie seems unsure, but excited. Casey nods approvingly.

"I agree. We just have to cling to hope."
