The children began to worry as the conveyor kept going.
"Do you think this will ever end?"
"I hope not, I'm scared of this interview."
"Yeah same, I wish Rahe was here."
"She's been so nice to us."
"I wish I was back at the school, without a bag over our heads." Leah said, still fidgeting in her bag.
"Yeah, Dira couldn't last in this place."
"Especially with a bag over her head."
"I wonder what this place looks like?"
"Well I suppose it's beautiful."
"Wanna see what it looks like?"
"I'd rather not go against Rahe's word."
"Remember the way she said, "we take care of it?" Cause I do."
"Now that you, mention it that was... strange."
"And the Queen, who do you think she's like?"
"Kind, I guess."
Suddenly the conveyor stopped and the two were seated.
"WHAt the hell?!" Leah shouted as the bag was suddenly ripped from her head and light shone into her eyes.

Randy and Leah looked around the room. It was white, plain, boring with a single light overhead and a table with three chairs. Two of which they were sitting on.
"You know, it's improper for a lady to shout." Said a cool voice. The owner of this voice had walked in, and with it a chill that went through the children. The two looked at this woman for only a moment before they realised this woman was important. She was wearing a plain white suit with a cape that reached to her hands. She had many badges on her chest and looked at the children with slight animosity in her eyes.
"So you two know the idiotic situation you got yourself into, right?"
"Yes ma'm." The children said sheepishly.
"Do you two know who I am?"
"N-no ma'am."
"Well I am Gisa White Di , High Judge to the Queen, so call me Ms White and I'll be interviewing you, so let's get started."
"So first question, why were you at Stardew Nightclub?"
"We wanted to have some fun."
"Ok, next question, what did you do before the incident?"
"We started dancing and stuff, you know like the things you do at a nightclub."
"Question three, did anyone talk to you at the club?"
"Yeah, a few guys and that was about it." Leah said.
"Describe them."
"Well one of them had brown ha-"
"NO YOU IM- I mean, did them seem suspicious in anyway?"
"N-not really."
"And you, boy." She spat out.
"One person did talk to me, it was a woman."
"Age?"
"She looked about 18."
"Anything remarkable?"
"Her hair covered one of her eyes and it looked like she had a robotic arm."
"Was the arm black."
"Yeah."
"And the part that covered her hair, did it look like there wasn't any skin?"
"I don't know, I guess there was something off about her, bu-"
"DAMMIT!" Gisa shouted as she slammed the desk.
"I thought it was improper for a lady to shout." Leah taunted.
"I AM NOt a lady. Gisa said through gritted teeth. "I knew it was her, knew it." Gisa said to herself as she paced around the room."
"Ms Wh-"
"Don't interrupt me." She growled. Gisa walked over to a button. "This is Gisa, Gisa to High Command." She lifted her finger off the button. "Yes High Command, what is it Gisa?" Spoke a bored voice. "You know the Alra case?"
"Y-yes I do." The voice stuttered.
"It's the same woman involved with the Dilam and Hin cases."
"It can't be, how do you know?"
"Interviewed the two children directly involved with the case, she talked to one of them."
"I can't believe this."
"I'll send the evidence to command."
"Thank you." And with that the static cut off.
"Children, when you were on the conveyor, you were scanned for any illegal items. You boy, had something on you, can I see it?" She offered her hand.
"No, you can't." Randy said, trying to be brave.
"And why not?"
"You-you have no right."
"Fine." Gisa snapped.
"Fine then, you will be sent back to your school."
Click click and the bags were back on. They realised they were on the conveyor again.
"Randy what was that, are you ok?" Leah said with concern in her voice.
"Y-yeah I'm fine."
"What was she talking about?"
"I'll explain when we get back, ok." He reassured her.

Soon they were back on the helicopter. "Listen I need to go somewhere, and I need you and Dira to come with me, is that ok?"
"Yeah." And that was the last time they spoke to each other until they landed.

"DIRA!" They both shouted as they ran to hug her.
"I thought you guys weren't coming back, I waited for sooooo long."
"I know I'm sorry."
"Do you too want to know what happened to me at Stardew?"
"Yeah." They both said in unison.
"Then sit down and let me tell you." They sat on the bench at the back of the school.
"So someone was murdered at Stardew." Dira gasped. "So it is true."
"Yeah, well before is happened the woman who murdered the other person spoke to me."
"WHAT!" Leah and Dira both shouted. "Why didn't you tell Gisa?"
"She gave me this card." He pulled the card. He properly looked at the card for the first time. It was holographic, almost clear-less and an address. "Really this is what I got scared about." Randy said to himself.
"It's just a card?"
"What? There is an address."
"No? I don't see anything."
"Strange."
"What's strange is that she gave this to you." Dira cut in.
"Anyway want to know what happened at the Capital?"
"Yeah."

So after about an hour of explaining. "Wow did not expect that, they are so weird."
"Yeah, they are aren't they, Randy?"
"Randy?"
"What? Sorry spaced out, listen Leah,  I am going to the place the card tells me to go to and I need you to come with me."
"I will." Leah said confidently.
"I will too." Said Dira not so confidently.
"Thank you."
"Ok then it's settled, let's go!"
"YEAH!" All three shouted.
                                         1 hour later
"I told you we'd get lost."
"Finding things is my middle name!"
"Actually it's Chris and Lost is your last name, appropriate for the situation."
"Hey guys, I think this is the place." Dira pointed to a building. The three gulped. This building, dark-green and foreboding. Randy looked at the card. "I told you we weren't lost!"
"Ugh, come on." Leah signalled at the others to come inside.

"Who the hell designed this place? Cause if their job was to make me feel sick then they did a good job."
"Come on, we're almost at the place." Randy said begrudgingly.
                                   2 minutes later
"Here is the place." The three gulped again. The large grey door did not make the children feel better.
"Here we go." Randy took a shaky hand to the door.
"What happens if their not in?" Randy hesitated.
"Ugh." Leah said as she knocked on the door.
"Don't do that." Randy and Dira said as they tried to hide behind each other. "Come in." Said a male voice and the door opened.
