May's Justice

The Heir Of A Murderous Gentleman

May dismissed the doctor's advice and discharged herself at the earliest opportunity. She met up with Trucy and they both took the train to Pallet Town. May scratched her head as she craved for a hot cup of black coffee to appear in her hand. She was back to square one. Even though Ash was found not guilty of murder, the suspicion around him never vanished.

Serena's arrest had made the press write reports on how Ash was her accomplice and how others had joined in with their fake testimonies to protect Serena from being arrested. In regards to Delia Ketchum's death, there were no other arrests. The police had taken Ash to the station for questioning, but nothing ever came out of it.

May's heart skipped a beat when she found out that Ash had been to the police station after he left May in the hospital. She couldn't get any sleep at all, and she was gagging for a nice drink, but all the doctors would let her have was plain water.

Trucy was talking a lot, but May wasn't really paying attention what she saying. May couldn't stop thinking about her past four trials and how they were all connected to each other. Even though from a glance they all seemed to be four very unique murder cases, they all seemed to have crossed over in May's mind.

Hinata Uzumaki, the victim of May's first case had died in a cemetery. The murder scene in May's second case was also in a cemetery. Hiroshi Nakano was a rock-star-turned-doctor. Hinata Uzumaki was one of his patients and he also played a very big role in May's 2nd case by being Suguru Fujisaki's accomplice.

Then there was Kari's unfortunate run with Brock that made her run into the girl's bathroom, and then she ended up being framed for the murder of a janitor called John Doe, who was actually the famous assassin known as Shelly De Killer.

The victim in May's third trial was connected to her fourth case. May hoped that Ash still has Shelly De Killer's card. She needed it, as she felt that if she presented it in Serena's trial, that she could clear her name for good. But without saying that Shelly De Killer was the one that killed Delia Ketchum, the evidence wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

May could not do that. Delia said that De Killer had a knife. She remembered the autopsy report stated very clearly that she was shot in the head. It seemed all the murdered victims in her cases were shot. Her migraine sharpened as she tried to find another way to connect her first four cases together. Then it clicked. The defendants were all customers in Delia's Delight, one of Davis Motomiya's many restaurants.

She wanted to think positive, but May couldn't help but feel like an evil witch for pinning Delia Ketchum's death on Serena. She knew that if Serena was found guilty, that May would lose everything: her career, her job, her friends and even Ash.

Trucy hadn't mentioned Ash yet. It was a sigh of relief for May, as she didn't think her heart would be able to take it if Ash was arrested again. He had already been through far too much. At that moment, the only thing that was important for May was a full acquittal for Serena Yvonne.

"Trucy," May asked as they both walked out of the station. "I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?" Trucy asked as Mr. Piplup crawled into her hat.

"The day I ended up channelling Dahlia Hawthorne," May hissed. "What exactly happened to me? What did Dahlia do?"

"You became thinner and your clothes were hanging on you. Dahlia picked up the paper. Assuming it was Delia Ketchum, I called her name. but she ignored me. Dahlia wrote a name down. Then she glared at me."

"She glared at you?"

Trucy nodded. "She had piercing red eyes as if she was a monster." Trucy held hang around her neck and gulped. "Her eyes stopped glowing when she strangled me. Then Dahlia smiled at me with her eyes closed. It seemed to be a really happy smile. It was so scary."
