Mirror of Secrets -Chapter 1-

Inside an apartment on the fourth floor, there was a young woman working on some paper work.. Her brown hair was pinned up into a bun and she was wearing a black buisiness outfit with light pink trimming. She was sitting at the table, making sure a stack of papers was neatly stacked together. There was an abrupt knock at the door which startled the woman. She was nervous, and she didn't look too happy. She took the papers and hid them between two things, making sure they weren't sticking out. Her hand went for the door and she turned the knob, opening the door.

The lighting in the hallway was too dark for her to see who was there, but she felt something press against her chest. "..W..what is this?!" She took a step back, staring at the person before her who had a gun in hand. There was a small glimmer of light coming from a lamp down the hall, and the woman saw what it was..her step back was too late..

Click...

"...Sweet dreams...dear, sweet Sara." A bullet periced through the night, letting birds scatter instantly from their sleeping post and into the forehead of  the woman. The door  closed as swiftly and quietly as it had been opened..instanteously as the corpse of a woman fell to the ground, making a loud thud.

"Whaaaaat?! My first trial is tomorrow, Kavi?!" A long brown-haired, light-skinned female said, slamming her hands onto the desk. She was wearing a purple top with black, semi-baggy pants. Her hair was tied up into a pony-tail as she stared at her mentor with her brown eyes.

"..Yes, tomorrow, Kiyachi." replied a dark-skinned male with brown eyes as well. He looked up at her and was wearing a dark blue shirt with a black jacket and black pants. "Tomorrow is your first trial...First we should go talk to the defendant and see what we can learn. I'm only saying we so I can atleast help you a little bit." Kavi stared at his 'student' a for a moment. He smiled at her, "Always, always believe that your client is telling the truth and always have faith in them. If you can't do that then you can't pass this trial nor any others of what lay ahead of you. You must know that. Right? Oh..and..I think you should change your outfit to something more..lawyery. I don't think the Judge will approve of it."

The female nodded some, crossing her arms, "Yes, I understand about what've you've been telling me forever....but Kavi, I've told you numerous times don't call me Kiyachi. Call me Ki. It's annoying being called that." She turned away from him, even though she was two years older then him he was her sensei. She never really argued with him; nor did she want to. "And I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm wearing this and I'll go like this, damnit."

Kavi shook his head, "Older than me but never more mature than me. Someday you'll get it...I suppose though, it doesn't let loose to be a bit odd every once in a while, does it?" The male got up from his desk and walked around it. He handed her the case files while she opened and began to look at everything inside. "The case is a murder that our client is claimed to have done."

A picture slid out of the files and out came a jet-black haired young man with the most innocent, goofy grin anyone would ever have seen. He had blue goggles on his head and gave a peace sign in the picture. Kavi continued, "Jet Wilkins. Age twenty-six, ocuppation...hah, get this..a  delivery man...he's been to jail once on the count of taking mail that wasn't even his." The younger, but more experienced attourney closed his eyes,"Despite going to jail once before, I believe he didn't have a part of this. Also, I've been told that he was saw the victim before she was murdered.." He shook his head, "Unfortunately, this doesn't help with his case.."

Ki stared at the picture and slightly grinned, "He's kinda cute...so who's the victim? This woman?" She pulled out a picture of a brown-haired female with a black buisiness outfit.."It says Sara Kiochi. She seems to have been a buisiness woman of Tech Industry." Ki stared at the woman for a few minutes, "She looks like she was a bit unhappy in this picture."

"It was probably taken during Tech Industry's..problem." Kavi said as he turned to Ki. He walked over to her, pulling out a paper revealing what the case was about, "She was shot in the forehead once and killed instantly. There is nothing else they put in here except the door was unlocked when they found her, but oddly it was closed...." Ki frowned, shaking her head, "Why would the killer kill her and then leave the door closed, but unlocked?" "...You aren't thinking hard enough. The killer probably did that as to not rise any commotion in the building if someone passed by the door..."

Ki put the case files on Kavi's desk and sighing, "That's really weird. Does...this mean we go back to the scene of the crime and investigate it, Kavi?" Kavi nodded, tossing Ki her coat. "We're going back to Suite Apartments. That's where it took place."
