o'ihhhhh

"He owned a large company. Barely had to do anything though..." Kira said, adding the last sentence bitterly. Her brother didn't have to do anything! Everyone else did it for him, yet he got loaded because of it. "Him and Jared were real close I guess. My brother always took him out to places." she said.

Victorique just watched from the sidelines, taking mental notes and trying to piece together exactly what could have been the issue, and why there would've been an issue at all.

"Could I ask where you two work?" was Jagger's next question.

Blythe felt like this was finally his time to speak. He cleared his throat and muttered, "I was laid off about a month or two ago. I worked at a factory, but they downsized and let off their...less experienced workers..."

[J I N G O]

"I stay at home. We have children, and someone has to take care of them. I suppose Blythe could do it now... but I don't want to end up with them dead." Kira said. She knew Blythe could be capable... sometimes. Besides, she'd never worked. Why start now? Especially since she'd be getting all of the Hall's money...

[amaterasu]

Blythe nervously shifted his eyes upward. Kira didn't need to be such a bitch to him. Especially since these people were here! But he was too scared of her wrath to say anything about it.

"So, did you get any sort of inheritance when Mr. Hall died?" Jagger asked.

[J I N G O]

"No," Kira bit back her bitterness, "Jared got everything." she said. She figured if she acted angry about it, they might think something of it. It was hard to hide all of her anger, but she hid most of it.
Victorique took mental note of the angry vibes coming off of Kira when she made this statement.
ADDED TO THE COURT FUCKING RECORD.

[amaterasu]

"I see. Well, is there a good time that we can come back if we have any more questions?" Jagger asked, flipping his notepad closed.

Blythe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whenever, I guess."

Jagger nodded his head and said, "Thank you for your time." He then stood up and went back to his car.

[J I N G O]

Victorique followed Jagger back into his car, giving the Masako's a friendly smile and a nod before walking out and closing the door behind her. She sat in the passengers seat of the car and decided to share. "Was I the only one who felt the anger coming off of her at that last statement of Mrs. Masako's?" she asked Jagger.

[amaterasu]

"No, I felt it too," Jagger answered, "and I think we answered a lot of questions by going there tonight. Ms. Masako had never had good relations with her brother. She was jealous that hebecame rich, when she worked just as hard and got nothing. She doesn't have a job and her husband was laid off of work. They have multiple children already, all boys, and are expecting a girl. They were relying on the will to settle and get some money. But that didn't happen. So they plotted to take the money that should have been rightfully theres by framing Mr. Hall. It seems like it was all Ms. Masako's plan, and her husband just went along with it. He seems like the type to be easily intimidated."
He glanced over at his partner as he drove away from the house. "Did you catch all of that?" he asked.

[J I N G O]

Victorique listened intently to everything that Jagger said. It was everything that she had been piecing together while sitting there watching everything go on while Jagger had entirely forgotten that Victorique had even existed. She nodded at him, and looked out the windshield at the road ahead of them "You took the words right out of my mouth." she said.

[amaterasu]

"Ha, good." Jagger laughed, "You're going to be a great defense attorney."
He pulled up to his office, then looked at the clock.
"Tomorrow I would like to visit them again. I want to catch Mr. Masako by himself. I feel like he will have a little more to tell us. But for now, we should get some rest. Would you like me to drop you off at your house?"

[J I N G O]

Victorique smiled widely at Jagger's comment about her having the potential to be a great defense attorney. She nodded yes to his offer to drive her home, even though her car was at the office. She could totally walk to work tomorrow, you know, no biggy. Besides, this might turn into SEX. *♥*. "Sure."

[amaterasu]

"Alright then." Jagger said, smiling at her. He started the car up again and headed off. He normally would have complained about doing something of the sort, but he oddly didn't mind it right now. He didn't even think about the fact that she might have driven to work today either.
"So, where will I be taking you?" he asked, figuring it would be nice if he knew where he was going.

[J I N G O]

Victorique would totally have to take a bus to the office tomorrow to get her car. But hey. A free ride home. And sex. What could be better? The bus ride was totally worth it. "55 Willow Drive." she said, blurting out her address. It wasn't terribly far away. Maybe a twenty minute drive. But you know, Jagger was over it.

[amaterasu]

"Jagger nodded his head and headed off in that direction. His mind bounced to different things as he drove, such as the case, how his brother was doing, what was going to happen tomorrow, and occasionally the girl sitting next to him in the car.
When they finally got there, Jagger pulled into the drive and commented, "Wow, that would have been a ling way to walk. How did you get to work this morning?"
Oblivious.

[J I N G O]

"...I drove my car." Victorique said and then laughed a bit. "Remember? I offered to pick up your brother's motorcycle. How else would I have gotten him there?" she said, then after a little bit she continued, "Oh well. I'll take a bus tomorrow." she sighed, not caring too much. Like I said-- sex. It was worth it.
