~Drake's POV~
Since we left the intersection, Sora's been doing most of the interrogating for me. Light's been adding commentary and additional points that Sora might've missed in the heat of the moment. Me... I haven't done anything. I brought Jaxx back to this unbelievably red room— which was difficult— so I think I should be cleared for anything else.
However, Jaxx isn't here. Before he and I had walked into the room, Ajax had fronted, hiding Jaxx away, and had been having the time of his life after finding out what happened. Ajax's reaction to all of this notably contrasts with ours.
Ajax leans forward in the chair he's sitting in and clutches his stomach. "Are you kidding me?! And you guys let that shit happen? Haha, fools, all of you!"
"Shut up," Sora shouts. He stomps up to Ajax and plants his hands firmly on the chair's arms on either side of Ajax. "This isn't funny! You know what he's getting himself into, and you're the only one who knows what he's trying to do! Tell me! What— is— Jaxx—Trying— to— do?!"
"You know, Smartass," Ajax swears with an intimidating glint in his eyes.
Sora shakes his head, "No, I frickin' don't. That idiot is going to get himself killed and I want to stop him before it gets to that point... I will ask you again." Light echoes a "yeah" after Sora's sentence. "What is Jaxx trying to do?"
"And as I've said, you already know... He wants to end this game. Heh, you should've seen him. Jaxx has a journal with all of his plans and shit, too. I can't tell you where that is since I don't know where he hides it. Anyway, he had planned to expose you, Murderer, and himself to get this shit up and done with."
Light groans drearily, "I've told you to stop calling me that."
Ajax averts his eyes from Sora and over to Light. He scoffs, "That is what you are, right? You don't get to forget what you've done. You lived for it, so now you have to live with it. That's not fair for the detective. He was pretty cool, you know."
"You only say that because you knew them before," I add, clutching the gun in my right hand and my left-hand rests in my pocket. "You remember that, right?"
"Nah, not really. But, I do remember who I knew before this started. I didn't get a good look at everyone before that stupid-ass-hell second trial... That was so pathetic... Anyway, that was when I saw everyone and noticed who looked familiar."
Sora utters through his teeth, which are tightly pressed together, "Who was it? Go on."
Ajax focuses back up at Sora with a heartfelt smile. "Fine, only because you asked me to and you remembered my favorite colors!... I recognized that aggressive ankle-biting chick... The know-it-all, emo-looking guy... And that girl in the portrait with the toxin hair colors."
"That "aggressive ankle-biting chick" 's name is Jade. Get it right," I threaten.
The redhead rolls his eyes. "Mhm. Whatever."
"Now, tell me Jaxx's plan in detail and what is going on with him," Sora asks again with a vein threatening to pop out of his forehead.
"Oh, right! He wanted to expose you three so that you'll all have a target on your back! He wants to get rid of the masterminds before another murder occurs. And with this new motive, it's been driving him insane, too. It hasn't even been a complete day yet."
