Chapter 3
Take care of the killer now!

Vincent: Jillian Ball, we've got you dead to rights, we know you killed Ike Kennedy and took down mobile communications !

Jillian: What? I wouldn't pull anything like that!

Josiah: We're not fools Ms. Ball, we found your arm band in the victim's grip, the one you used to work out.

Jillian: So? This may be the technological district, but plenty of people still find value in exercise.

Vincent: And do plenty of them have a burn mark like you? We found the burn treatment cream on the victim's hard hat.

Jillian: It just came from a stray electrical spark, nothing to do with Ike's murder at all!

Josiah: We're not falling for your games Jillian! Your badge let you get into the crime scene, and we've even got your DNA on the victim's badge. Time to come clean!

Jillian: *sigh* I guess I have no choice.

Jillian: Yes I killed Ike, its a long story so let me explain myself.

Vincent: Take your time, we've got plenty on our hands.

Jillian: Just to get this out of the way, I'm part of the black market, so was Ike.

Josiah: You were dealers for the market?

Jillian: Somewhat, I was a longtime customer and on and off messenger. Ike was someone to assist the market in contacting places outside of Warrenville.

Jillian: We'd been working with the market for years, Ike even hooked up his father with the Dollmaker's organ harvesting ring when the gang he was a part of needed funds.

Jillian: But Ike started letting the power go to his head, he wanted more, and blackmailed the market for even more money or he'd anonymously report their activities.

Jillian: They knew how close I was to him, being his boss and all, and they blackmailed me in turn to take him out before he made due on his threat.

Vincent: So you tried words and when that didn't work, you skewered him?

Jillian: Yes, but I wasn't planning on cutting cell communications like this, I just needed Ike to stop!

Josiah: Well regardless of what happened, you still have plenty to answer for Ms. Ball! You're under arrest!

Judge Malone: All rise! I'm Judge Autumn Malone, standing in for Judge Dexter Blackwell who can't be involved in this trial due to his sister being a suspect.

Josiah: Sounds fair...

Judge Malone: Jillian Ball, its come to my attention you murdered a fellow affiliate of the black market and took down cellular communications on top of it! What drove you to do something like this?

Jillian: Ike was reporting on the black market, they didn't want their work being undone! Believe me, if I said no they would've found me dead alongside him!

Judge Malone: Be that as it may, I can't excuse your reckless actions! You still bought and dealt with the black market!

Jillian: Well its not like I was making all the money I needed. I was driven into a corner and they were the only option I could turn to!

Jillian: I'm sure Ike felt the same way, but he lost his humanity as he took things even further.

Judge Malone: Don't say that as if you're entirely innocent Ms. Ball, you still committed grieve acts yourself!

Judge Malone: And for those crimes, I hereby sentence you to 35 years in prison with no parole!

Jillian: I knew I should've just stuck to an honest living, I never should've dealt with these guys!

Josiah: Another case solved, and another black market operative in prison!

Vincent: Yeah, to think cellular communications went down just on a mistake.

Vincent: We've been putting a lot of these guys behind bars, but it feels like more and more keep popping up.

Josiah: We better keep up the good fight then, we still have plenty on our plate.

Josiah: We need to fix cellular communications, and then get back to finding a new tech expert and stopping the black market's schemes.

Vincent: Right, back to business!
