Logan pointed his pistol at Miguel and gestured for him to stand near Wei. "Now, get down off the horse and step away. Do it NOW." Logan ordered and walked around to the front of the horse, keeping his pistol pointed at them.

"So, it was you two that killed Catori and Yan and now Arvio. I should have suspected something was up when Wei suddenly showed up in town and Miguel was suddenly being buddy, buddy with you and acting all concerned for everyone." Logan gestured with his pistol for them to move ahead.

"Come on, I'm locking you two up. Where is Justice? Did you do something to him too?" Logan demanded as they moved toward the Civil Corps. Logan pointed the gun right at Wei.

"No, just gave him a bit of a headache. He's taking a nice nap up on the cliff there." Wei said, pointing to the cliff behind them.

Logan growled, telling them to keep going. "I heard about you Wei. I thought you were supposed to be the nice one. Miguel here, you expect certain things, but I didn't expect murder Miguel."

"Well, I guess you never know, do you Logan?" Miguel snarled, ticked off at being caught as they approached the Civil Corps.

Logan opened the door and motioned for them to go inside. Suddenly Miguel tried to go for Logan and the pistol. Logan pointed the pistol to shoot when he saw Jordan come up behind Miguel pointing a shotgun at Miguels head.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Miguel. I'll blow your head off, I swear to God. Get in the cell." Jordan ordered and when Miguel and Wei entered the cell, Logan locked the door.

Logan grinned, putting his pistol in his holster. "Thanks honey, glad you showed up."

Jordan put the shotgun down and smiled. "I was almost here when I heard the commotion, so I thought I'd help. I saw Arvio. It's horrible but you're not going to believe this. He's still alive but is very critical. He'll need to be flown to Atara. Avery has volunteered to come get him."

Logan nodded and looked at Miguel and Wei. "That's great but Yan and Catori weren't as lucky. Where are they Miguel, Wei? Things might go easier for you if you talk."

"I'm not saying anything without a lawyer." Wei growled and walked to the other side of the cell and sat on the cot.

"I'm not either. You two may leave now." Miguel said, as if he thought he was in control.

Logan reached through the bars and grabbed Miguel by the collar of his shirt. "Listen you little pipsqueak, you killed two people and Arvio may die. Confess and you might get a lighter sentence."

"That's where you're wrong Logan. I didn't kill anyone; it was all Wei. I only helped him out. A while back, I was on my way to the game center when I saw him run out and he literally collided with me. He told me right then he'd killed Catori and if I told anyone, he'd make sure I got all the blame. She owed him money. I thought he'd told me once she didn't, but it turns out she did. So, you see Logan, I had no choice." Miguel told him as if he expected Logan to buy it.

Logan snorted, shoving Miguel back. "You're so full of shit. You always have been." He turned to Wei. "Is what he said true? Did you do all the killing, and he just helped you?"
