"Daryan Being A Dick"

Start from the beginning
                                    

"That's right! We picked this up in front of the door to that dressing room!"

'What if that headset wasn't dropped, but placed? And what if it was turned on?'

'You could hear what was going on in that hallway! Even if you were out on stage!'

apollo finished off, he felt his stomach flutter when he saw klavier's grin of approval, drayan scoffed as he crossed his arms 

'Feh... Whose side are you on, Gavin?'

Klavier eyed him with cold shimmering blue eyes

'Listen to me, Daryan. There are no sides in a court of law'

Daryan went quite at that as he glared off to the side, klavier turned to look at apollo, his eyes much less harsh but still very determined

'Which is why I now turn to you, Herr Forehead. I've a question for you'

apollo did a double-take on that

'Huh? For me...?'

'The igniter and the burnt fragments that were found at the scene of the crime... It's certainly a possibility that they were part of a ruse to fake the sound of gunshots. Throw the headset from the hallway into the mix, and you could fabricate an alibi. But we're still no closer to proving anything. Those gunshots might have been real, or fake. We can't say'

he said with a simple shrug, apollo bit his lip nervoulsy

'You've raised the possibility that the shots heard during the third set were faked. Now you need to prove the other half of the case'

he blinked

'The other half...?'

Daryan rolled his eyes

'Look, I'll just tell him'

apollo raised his head to daryan

'He wants you to prove the thing went down in the second act... ...while our little piano player was on stage. That right, Gavin?'

Klavier gave him a slight glare with his eyes before nodding once

'Indeed. If you can't prove that... ...then to continue this cross-examination would be pointless'

the judge went into deep thought

'Hmm... Well, Mr. Justice? Can you prove the crime took place during the second set?'

apollo scratched the back of his head nervously as he felt his anxiety crep up

'Uh... Yeah, I think...'

Trucy nudge him lightly and whispered

'You'd better know, Apollo! Otherwise we're through...'

he cleared his throat before speaking a bit more difenatly 

'It can be proven!'

Klavier raised a brow as he smirked teasingly

.'..You make it sound like someone else is going to come along and do it for you'

he joked, apollo gave him a semi-glare but that didn't stop his heart from fluttering, the sound of the judge's gavel rang in his ears

'Let's continue with the cross-examination then, shall we? Witness, your testimony, if you would'

Apollo stared down at his notebook, one page filled with the other testimony, the other side blanke, and in his hand was a black pen

"This isn't going to be easy. I need some decisive proof, and fast..."
