"Sinneth, what do you mean that you were right?" Lastis asks as we hear Moxi laughing. I look back to see Moxi closing the door and locking it. Orion jumps to his feet and draws his sword. The woman in the cage covers her mouth as she backs as far away from Moxi as the cage will let her. "He must be one of the men that was there!" She yells as Lastis walks over to Moxi. "I'm going to have to ask you all to leave." Orion says as the wall behind me crumbles. I see Sinneth dusting himself off as he walks through the rubble. "Well, I would love to leave, sadly I can't. I'm not allowed to go home until I find out who was truly responsible for those murders, but on the same note, I could go home right now." Sinneth says as Orion points his sword towards him. "What are you babbling on about?" Orion asks as Sinneth sighs. "Well, I guess what I'm saying, is that she's the murderer." Sinneth says as he points to the old lady. Orion appears in front of Sinneth, his blade pressed tightly against his throat. "Have you gone insane! How could this old lady be the murderer, especially since she has no energy? Are you saying a human could pull this off?" Orion asks as Sinneth looks back over his shoulder. "Fallyn, you can come in now." Sinneth says as Fallyn walks in slowly. The old woman stares at him as his fingernails grow out, and turn into claws. "Last chance Rozaria." Sinneth says as she looks at him. "Why on Earth would you get the idea that I'm the one who did those unspeakable things?!" She yells, her eyes slowly getting teary. As Sinneth starts to reply, Moxi laughs again. "Shall I list off the ways you gave yourself away?" Moxi says as he walks towards the cell. "Yes, tell me how you came to this nonsensical conclusion." The lady says as Moxi props against the bars. "Well, for starters, you said only two of the assailants were actually attacking, so why were there 3 different attack trails? Also, how would you even know that, the bathroom locks from the outside. And why would they rob a bank and only take a thousand dollars, when even I can take more than that?" Moxi says as she stares at him. "There was only two attacking when I was peeking from the bathroom. A lady that was hiding behind one of the pillars quickly made a run for the bathroom I was hiding in, but her arm got cut off. She closed the door and twisted the lock so they wouldn't get to me. I quickly crawled through the window after that." She says as Moxi laughs slightly. "Is that so? So, demons or angels that can cut clean through marble pillars, and rip a vault door off its hinges, couldn't kick down the bathroom door?" Moxi says as the lady starts crying a bit. "I'm not sure why they didn't come for me, but I'm just happy to have gotten away." The woman says as Lastis puts his hand on Moxi's shoulder. "Come on, she's not the killer. Apologize." Lastis demands as Sinneth coughs lightly. "I think better evidence is that she has no wounds on her, even though she climbed through the window. Also, to climb through the bathroom the way she did, she must be very skilled at dodging glass and shrinking her size. Assessing her frame, she couldn't have fit through the window's small opening. I'm also upset with you, Moxi. You didn't inspect the glass from the broken window. It was bulletproof, yet somehow enough force was put behind a kick, from the size of the missing glass, to shatter it like normal glass." Sinneth says as the woman shakes her head. "I didn't break the glass, one of the others did, I ran into the bathroom after they left." She says as Sinneth pushes Orions blade away slightly and walks to the cell with his hands in his pocket. "Well, I was hoping to have you admit it yourself, but I guess you really don't want to be found out. So, why are you wearing flesh that has no blood or nerves?" Sinneth asks as she stares at him. "What do you mean?" She asks somewhat taken back. "I've stabbed you a few hundred times while you've been in this cell. I was making sure to strike very active nerves, yet you never reacted and blood never came to the surface." Sinneth says as she stares at him. "I'll have you know; I have been in multiple wrecks and as such, a majority of my nerves are damaged. I also have an acute blood deficiency problem. I have less blood than most and as a result, unless it's a severe cut, it won't draw blood." She says as Sinneth sighs and turns around. "Guess I was wrong. I deeply apologize. I am truly sorry, I hope you can forgive me, Ms. Macey." Sinneth says as he starts walking away. "I'm sorry, child, but I don't know who that is." She says as Attira looks at Sinneth confused. "Oh, is that not your name? Angela Macey?" Sinneth says as he turns around and looks at her. "I'm afraid not, my name is Rozaria Tesexia." She replies as Sinneth stares at her then points to her. "No, the woman you are wearing. Her name is Angela Macey. She worked at the bank that was 'robbed', but she was murdered 3 years ago." Sinneth says a she stares at him for a moment. "I'm sorry miss, but I checked every death for this city in the last 15 years, to see if there was any correlation to any of the murdered victims. Also, the flesh on the left side of your face, about two centimeters from the chin, is revealing more energy." Sinneth says as the woman stands up. "Oh my, oh my. You've done quite a bit of homework; I can only imagine how long and hard you had to work on this case to find out that I was the murderer." She says as her voices heightens in pitch. "Well it took me about twenty minutes to realize you were the murderer. Five minutes analyzing the bank, then fifteen crosschecking deaths." Sinneth says as he yawns and waves at us. "Well, I'll see you all back at the base." He mumbles as he walks past us and out the door. We all stare in disbelief, even Rozaria. "That was. Interesting." She mumbles as her flesh and clothes turn to ash, then fall to the ground. Long blonde hair falls down as a frilled red and black dress appears over her small frame. "Wait, she's?" Orion says as he takes a step back and readies his sword. The girl cracks a cute smile and summons an umbrella. "Well, I'm afraid that I must go. I wasn't supposed to get discovered." She says as a pair of black gloves appear on her hands. We all quickly ready for a fight as she rips one of the steel bars from the ground and ceiling and stares at is. Just holding it, causes it to seem to turn to ash and disappear. "Sorry, we won't be allowing you to leave." Lastis says as Orion cuts through the steel bars and swings downwards towards her. She blocks his sword with one finger as a rippling wave of energy cuts multiple buildings in a row in half. "Ooh, a man who is supposed to guard humans, just killed seven." She says as the ground shakes from a building collapsing outside.
