And that is how in an instant the entire trial was turned on its head.  A gasp of surprise escaped Cyrus as the free runner collapsed, but just like with Mercy there was little doubt that they were already too late.  [color=D1c2bf]“God fucking damn it!”[/color] Cyrus exclaimed, barely containing himself. Dang it, he had to think. There had to be something off.

And then it hit him when he heard Bliss speak. [color=D1c2bf]“Wait a second… Thomas and I had an argument with Max. That was around 1:30, and we all went to our rooms afterwards.  Did that last until 3PM?”[/color] Cyrus wondered aloud. [color=D1c2bf]“I can barely imagine it so. And does that mean Max went to his room, then back to the party setup, just to leave again to look for Mercy?”[/color] Cyrus felt that something didn’t add up there. [color=D1c2bf]“At what time did you guys start setting up the party anyway?”[/color]

Cyrus agreed with Lucy as well, however. [color=D1c2bf]“Maybe not, but the badge had to be procured and poisoned somehow. And it was definitely bloodied. Looking at other avenues for the murder weapon is fine, but we shouldn’t disregard its value as a clue.  For both Mercy’s and Felix’s sake… shit”[/color] He pointed out in a not exactly calm manner.

Noel was shocked, but she recovered significantly faster than most others. At the very least, she managed to suppress her excitement to put up a façade of shock. There was only one word truly going through her head: [b]S C O O P.[/b]
But luckily the reporter managed to retain her composure, instead of turning into a drooling, mad paparazzi photographer just about to snap the perfect shot of that greasy celeb cheating on his wife.

If only she didn’t have that excited twinkle in her eyes. Aw well, maybe they wouldn’t notice.

She did feel truly sorry for Felix. And that’s why she now wanted to catch this murderer more than ever. [color=897691]”Mercy and Felix had punch together, but I don’t think the poison was in that. Mercy died too early for that, and it doesn’t explain the puncture wound.”[/color] she considered again. [color=897691]”Yes, they definitely had to be murdered at different moments, perhaps with different poisons as well. If Felix was preparing for the party around 4:30, then  it must’ve been litonix during the party…”[/color] And then it hit her.

[color=897691]”The dance! ”[/color]  Noel exclaimed. [color=897691]”Mercy bumped Felix into one of the tables pretty hard during their dancing… And she had the badge on her as well!”[/color] But the thought of that made Noel’s face whiten. [color=897691]”But that’d mean that… Mercy murdered Felix?”[/color] It would explain a lot. Why else would Mercy have asked Felix for the books, and Jezebel for the poison?  [color=897691]”But why… how?”[/color]
