Chapter 3
Luke: Xander Olson, you're under arrest for the murder of Oakleigh Hall!

Xander: What do you mean? I don't even know the guy, why would I kill him?

Josiah: You don't know him, but you still wrote him that threat using Aesop's Fables as inspiration.

Xander: So what? I've learned a lot from those books, and I can't be the only guy.

Luke:  's got you figured out, we found the combat knife you hid on the tree. The one you used to cut the victim's tongue out.

Xander: Come on, I'm just some guy from Canada, I couldn't have just murdered anybody.

Josiah: We have the hamburger meat you left on the victim's corpse, the game's up Mr. Olson. Time to come clean!

Xander: Damn it, I thought I'd get away clean from this.

Xander: Fine I admit it, I killed that Oakleigh guy.

Luke: But why would you do that, by all accounts this was the first time you met him.

Xander: Yes, and it was one time too many. I couldn't let him get in the way of my scheme.

Josiah: Scheme? What're you planning?

Xander: It goes like this, I have a girl back home I've been seeing for a couple of months now. She's a part of this wealthy family that pretty much runs the city's finances.

Xander: She's been a part of this money laundering scheme, and once I got word of it she and I had been working to share the loot of our plans.

Xander: However, the Rosenoque police were getting a bit too close to the operation. So, she sent me here to get contact with the local crime outfits here, the esteemed Warrenville Black Market.

Xander: The plan was to get contact with them so we could spread our laundering scheme worldwide, and we could avoid the police before they caught onto us.

Xander: But then that gangster got word and wanted in on the operation. This was between me and my girl, and I wasn't about to split anymore profits!

Luke: So you wanted to keep your share of your laundering scheme the same, so you shut him up?

Xander: Indeed I did, I figured I'd cut his tongue out just to shut him up!

Xander: But I gotta admit, the scene I caught him was something else. I was hoping his corpse would just blend in with the rest, but I guess you guys are smarter than I thought.

Josiah: Well, sorry to put the stop to your crimes, but we don't look kindly on money laundering OR murder. You're under arrest!

Judge Blackwell: Xander Olson, you stand here accused of the murder of Oakleigh Hall. How do you plead?

Xander: Not much of a choice, I got caught for murder and money laundering, so there ain't no way I'm innocent.

Judge Blackwell: Well at least you're not trying to deny it, but why do all this in the first place?

Xander: Hey, I'm not exactly Prince Charming, but my lady friend really loves me. Besides, money pretty much makes the world go round and more is always welcome in my book.

Xander: I don't exactly have much cash, and if it meant she and I could get the hell away from all of this, I'd do whatever it takes.

Judge Blackwell: And apparently, that even extends to bloodshed.

Xander: Hey, love makes guys do crazy things. And frankly, I couldn't afford to let anyone else in on it anyway. I didn't want any squealers.

Judge Blackwell: Your apathy towards life disturbs me, but I know a way to deal with you.

Judge Blackwell: For your crimes, the court sentences you to 38 years in prison, to be served here.

Judge Blackwell: I'll transfer the information regarding this trial over to the court in Rosenoque, to ensure this money laundering scheme is brought to an end.

Xander: Wait what!?! You can't do that!

Judge Blackwell: I can and I will Mr. Olson!

Xander: Dammit! She's gonna be pissed at me for screwing this up!

Josiah: Wow, who would've thought crimes outside of the city are pouring in here?

Josiah: Xander was hell bent on seeing this money laundering scheme through to the end, even if it meant killing to keep that secret.

Luke: Well now he's in prison, and the info will be sent to the authorities in Rosenoque, so hopefully they'll catch his girlfriend.

Luke: In the meantime, we still have plenty of business here in Warrenville to deal with. So we better get back on track before the trail grows cold!
