Chapter 20: Chapter 12 - Belladonna Drug

Joker and Emma - Sinful MindplaceWords: 22009

Ema: Hold on, Eliza...........

Eliza: Shaking...................

Gary: This is not good the poison kicked in too quickly.

Gary: We do not have much time to wait for the paramedics to arrive her body might die of shock at any moment...

Joker: Ema & Maricia stay with Gary and try to save her.

Ema: I understand!

Maricia: Sure!

Liam: Hey! What about me?

Joker: You will be with me and we are going to try to solve this case.

Liam: Fine!

Maricia: We have to carry her out of here because we need to slow down the process of the poison in her system.

Gary: I might have an idea!

Gary: Let us talk to security, maybe they know a good place to treat the wounded?

Maricia: Great idea!

Ema: Excuse me!

Security: What do you want, mam?

Ema: We need to find a good place to treat the wounded victim.

Ema: She does not have much time. We have to slow down the poison until the paramedics arrive.

Security: Follow me.

Maricia: Somebody needs to carry, Eliza?

Security 2: Do not worry I will carry her.

Security 2: Carrying, Eliza.....................

Ema: Where are we going?

Security: The best place to carry her  is to the hotel.

Security: If you did not know that inside  the hotel there is a hospital room for sick guests.

Gary: Good job!

Security: It is our job you do not have to thank us.

Ema: I hope, Eliza is going to be OK. ( thinking)

Liam: So how are we going to find the killer?

Joker: Let me think first then I will give you an answer.

Joker: Thinking.........

Joker: If Gary is not the killer? Who could have done it?  ( Thinking)

Joker: Could the challengers have done it? ( Thinking)

Joker: If they did it would be mostly to win the race and not to kill  her.  ( Thinking)

Joker: Maybe if I reverse my thinking? ( Thinking)

Joker: Who gained something by killing, Eliza?   ( thinking)

Liam: Are you done?

Joker: Do not talk while I think?

Liam: Why is that?

Joker: You are ruining my puzzles to solve the case.

Joker: When I think, Liam. My mind is a maze and I try to unravel the puzzles.

Liam: Well to unravel more mysteries let us just find the weapon.

Joker: Good idea.

Liam: Geez!

Liam: So, did you're mind find any clues?

Joker: I believe that the killers are not the challengers but someone who gained something by trying to kill, Eliza.

Liam: If you have right the science will tell us the truth.

Joker: Maybe!

Joker: Let us find the drone, Liam.

Joker & Liam: Looking for the drone....................

Joker: This is the spot where; Eliza & Gary stood but there is no drone.

Joker: Where could it have flown?

Joker: If the drone flew away? ( Thinking)

Joker: Maybe the killer has it? ( Thinking)

Joker: But if the killer has the drone. Would it be too easy catch him/her? ( thinking)

Joker: So why bother taking the weapon back it sounds so noobish.  ( Thinking)

Joker: Unless! ( Thinking aloud)

Liam: Unless, what, Joker?

Joker: Nvm

Liam: You are thinking too deep, Joker let the science guide you.

Joker: What do you think Liam?

Liam: I think the may reason that we can't find the weapon, that nearly killed the victim is  because the killer want the weapon back for some reason.

Joker: But he/she would have taken to many big  risks and does it not sound to noob like for you?

Liam: But what if the killer wants that weapon back as his life depends on it.

Joker: Hm...

Joker: Let us talk to potential killers.

Liam: Who should we talk to first?

Joker: Let us talk to the challengers?

Liam: You know we do not have to talk to them?

Joker: Why is that?

Liam: All we have to do is to look at their drone to determine who the killer is?

Joker: You take a look at the drone and I will talk to them.

Liam: As you wish.

Liam: Look the police have arrived and the paramedic.

Police: Nobody leaves this area if you do, we arrest you for prolonging our time.

People: Talking......

Paramedics: Where is the injured person?

Security 3: We had to take her to a hotel near this place because they have a treatment facility there.

Paramedic: Where is the hotel called?

Security 3: I will take you there.

Paramedic: Thanks! Let us go!

Joker: Talking to the police

Police: Who are you guys?

Joker: Shows his badge and Liam is my scientific partner.

Police: OK! Detective, what do you need?

Joker: We need some help to interrogate the suspect's. We believe that somebody  has the murder weapon.

Joker: Explains the case to the police

Police: Listening to Joker...

Police: So a drone is our murder weapon and our victim was poisoned by her own drone.

Joker:  Precisely.

Joker: Can you please take note of the suspects alibi and give it to us.

Police: Of course!

Joker: We are going to talk to team 1 and 12, you may talk to the rest.

Police: Yes, Sir!

Joker & Liam: Walking towards team 1...

Team 1: Who are you?

Joker: I'am a detective and this is my scientific partner, Liam.

Team 1: Look we had nothing to do with it?

Joker: So? I still need to have your alibi and you're drone?

Team 1: What about our drone?

Joker: We have to test it?

Team 1: Like hell!

Joker: Do you want to go to prison as an accomplice.

Team 1 (person 2):  Just give them the drone.

Team 1 ( Person 2) Fine!

Team 1: Giving the drone to, Liam.................

Joker: State your name and what you did before the event.

Team 1: My name is, Alex and next to me is Alexa. We are brothers and sisters.

Joker: I see!

Team 1: Before the event started we went to the shopping market to buy some parts for the drone and later we worked at it all night long.

Joker: Calling, Ema....

Ema: Hello! ( Phone)

Joker: How is, Eliza? ( Phone)

Ema: Barely stable. ( Phone)

Joker: I have to check an alibi? The suspects are brother & sister. Alex and Alexa were at the super market yesterday?  ( Phone)

Ema: Let me check? ( Phone)

Maricia: Yeah! I saw them in the market. ( Talking to Ema)

Ema: Thanks!

Ema: Yes, They have Maricia just verified it. ( Phone)

Joker: Thanks ( Phone)

Joker: Your alibi is clean.

Team 1: I told you!

Joker: Liam did you find something unusually about their drone?

Liam: No I have not.

Joker: You are free to go!

Team 1: Thanks!

Joker & Liam; walking towards team 12...

Team 12: Who are you?

Joker: Show his badge?

Joker: My name is, Joker and this is my scientific partner, Liam.

Team 12: What do you want?

Joker: You're alibi and you're drone.

Team 12: Fine!

Team 12: Gives their drone to Liam.

Liam: Thanks!

Joker: Where were you yesterday?

Team 12: We were buying parts for the drone in the market like everyone else.

Joker: You're Name?

Team 12: Sara & Stella

Joker: Calling Ema again.............

Ema: Answers..........

Joker: Your alibi is good but let us check the drone.

Liam: The drone is fine I cannot see any traces of poison.

Joker: You may go!

Liam: What if reverse our thinking, Joker?

Joker: What do you mean?

Liam: Maybe we should not look for the drone but the object.

Joker: You mean, the needle!

Liam: Nods.

Joker: Of course! If we find the needle we can figure out what kind of poison was the victim inflicted with and just maybe we might find the killer's fingerprints, Good job, Liam!

Liam: I really appreciate it lad!

Joker: Calling, Ema!

Ema: What is it now? ( Phone)

Joker: Did you find any object stuck in the victim? ( Phone)

Ema: Yeah! We did! ( Phone)

Joker: Was it a needle? ( Phone)

Ema: Yes! How did you know? (Phone)

Joker: Yes! (Phone)

Joker: Can you perhaps find us a fingerprint? (Phone)

Ema: Joker, we did but we could not find any match.  (Phone)

Joker: What about the poison? (Phone)

Ema: Thanks to the paramedics we figured out that the poison came from a plant called Belladonna and it can be really deadly but luckily we manage to make her better for now.  ( Phone)

Joker: Thanks!  ( Phone)

Joker: So our killer was not an amateur after all, Liam.

Liam: Seem so!

Joker: I have an idea how to lessen our research on the killer.

Liam: How?

Joker: You will soon find out.

Joker: But let us wait until the cops have interviewed all of the suspects.

Liam: True we need more information.

Police: Hey! Joker here is our note from our investigation.

Police: Gives the note to, Joker.

Joker: Takes the note....

Joker: Reads it....

Liam: Did you find any clues?

Joker: Like I taught every contender has the same alibi. The Tv Crew arrived  today but in the morning. The judges where planing the events. Nothing in these testimonies are wrong.

Liam: True!

Liam: But how are we going to find the killer?

Joker: I told you! I have an idea but first we need some more information.

Officer: Joker, you do not need to solve the case anymore because we the San Diego Department have solved the case.

Joker: How?

Officer: Do you see these people?

Joker & Liam: Yes I do.

Officer: We found the drone that had traces of poison.

Officer: It seems team 8 did it.

Joker: Please, Detective do not arrest them, we believe you got the wrong killer.

Officer: Why is that, please explain?

Joker: This is too easy . The killer is not an amateur he or she sure would not risk on taking his drone back to him/her.

Officer: True but what if he really needs it back to clean the poison.

Liam: I'm with the officer.

Officer: Do you see even your partner is against you.

Joker: Thinking......

Joker: Why would the killer take back his drone?

Joker: What if I reverse my thinking?

Joker: What if he wanted it?

Joker: But why?

Joker: Come on, Brain! (getting annoyed)

Joker: He wanted to hide his trace but in doing so he had to pin someone else for the murder.

Joker:  Who could have taken control of Gary's and Eliza's drone?

Joker: Contenders might have done it and judges and tv crew.

Joker: Everybody has almost  the same alibi.

Liam The arena is big with plenty of nature and surroundings sometimes it was harder for Maricia and Ema to control the drone due to interference.

Joker: Drone = Interference = People = Nature = Pin another person for the crime.

Joker: I got it!

Officer: Are you done?

Joker: Team 8 is not the killer?

Officer: His drone had poison traces all over it.

Joker: So?

Joker: Please, Tell me something, Liam.

Liam: What is it?

Joker: Why was it hard for Maricia and Ema to control our drone during the contest?

Liam: Easy because of the thickness of the nature can cause sometimes interference.

Liam: I see it now!

Joker: Nods towards, Liam

Liam: Ema can also cause this if the signals are to close too each other which means team 8 could not have taken control over the drone. Someone who was knocked of at the first round or another person could have controlled the drone.

Officer: Damn! We almost forgot about that.

Liam: Im ashamed I almost forgot about the interference.

Joker: Do not worry this is your first time at the crime scene, it takes time to adjust.

Liam: Thanks for backing me up.

Joker: If you screw up once more I will have to report you.

Liam: I understand.

Officer: How on earth are we going to find the killer?

Joker: Leave that to me, Officer.

Killer: Devil, I have killed the traitor? ( Phone)

Devil: Good Job my little devil.  ( Phone)

Killer: But I'm surrounded by cops, I need help. ( Phone)

Devil: You are one of  my valuable assets and my lab assistant I cannot lose you. ( Phone)

Devil: I will send Reaper to help you. (Phone)

Killer: Thanks, my lady.  ( Phone)

Devil: No worries. ( Phone

Boss: Who is that devil?

Devil: My assistant is in a pinch.

Boss: Why?

Devil: She killed the traitor, Eliza who refuses to join the organization and help us.

Boss: I see.

Boss: You used her greed for money and success to manipulate her to do your bidding, I'm a right?

Devil: Boss, you know me so well.

Boss: You are the devil of them all.

Boss: You know we cannot save your assistant because our organization would be in trouble if one of our members gets caught.

Devil: I know I just gave her false hope.

Vision: What an evil woman you are.

Devil: I know and it gives me the pleasure to live life more.

Devil: I will find more people to manipulate and I do not need Alexis anymore.

Joker:  can you inform the officers to bring the people that entered round 1 not 2, judges, audience and the tv crew.

Officer: Yes!

Liam: Can you tell me about your plan?

Joker: Fine!

Joker: I'm going to tell them about a name called Belladonna.

Liam: But that is the poison.

Joker: The killer knows but the others does not.

Liam: So what do you suggest?

Joker: We ask about Belladonna of course.

Liam: And you really think they will just say to you that they know Bella Donna?

Joker: I will ask them if they know her but I did not say anything about the poison.

Joker: If we are lucky some people will say that they know BellaDonna and our killer might panic, so he/she would say to they knew her from somewhere and later we catch our killer.

Liam: Mate, Are you on drugs?

Joker: Kind of?

Liam: What!

Joker: I got a drug in my system unknowingly.

Liam: I do not want to here your excuses, you must be kidding me.

Liam: This will not work.

Joker: We do not know until we try.

Officer: So here we have, Team 1, team 2, team 3 and 7.

Joker: So do you know, Belladonna?

Officer: Walks towards Liam............

Officer: Who is, Belladonna? (whispering)

Liam: Do not laugh. (whispering)

Officer: I won't ( Whispering)

Liam: Mate, Belladonna is the name of the poison and Joker thinks the killer would panic and tell us.

Officer: What!! Is he high or something?

Liam: Maybe!

Killer: Shit ( thinking)

Officer: I'm gonna stop him before he humiliates us!

Liam: Stop that detective, we never know if it works or not if we don't try. .

Officer: Stops walking..........

Officer: If the criminal gets away I will blame your department.

Liam: Sounds fair!

Officer: You bet!

Team 1: No!

Team 2: No!

Team 3: I know a girl called Belladonna.

Team 4: Me too.

Team 7: No.

Joker: How do you know her if I may ask?

Team 3 ( Person 1): I dated her.

Team 4 ( Person 1): A friend of mine has that name.

Joker: Show me a picture of her.

Team 4 and Team 3 ( Shows Joker a picture of Belladonna)

Joker: My eye has no reaction which means they are telling the truth.

Joker: They can go!

Joker: Where are the judges?

Cop: They are arriving now.

Judges: Walk Towards Joker.................

Judges: What do you want to ask us?

Joker: Do you know, Bellafonna?

Judges: No!

Joker: You might go!

Cop: We have asked all of the audience about Belladonna and nobody knows her.

Officer: This detective, is he really a detective? ( Talks to Liam)

Liam: Let us find out.

Cop: I have tv crew with me.

Tv Crew: Walks towards, Joker:

Tv crew: What do you want?

Joker: To ask you something.

Joker: Do you know Belladonna?

Camerman: NO!

Technician: No!

Journalist: No!

Director: NO!

Stylist: NO!

Program Leader: I do not know this.

Joker: Smiling....

Joker: What do you mean by this?

Program Leader: I mean I do not know it.

Liam: Did you see, Officer. He caught us a murderer.

Officer: Impossible!

Joker: You know Belladonna is a girl right? I said do you know it means a person.

Program Leader: ....................

Program Leader: I not good at English.

Joker: Gets all foggy!

Tv Crew: She tell's the truth she is not good at English at all.

Officer: See his dedication is wrong.

Liam: Know you will see his true self.

Joker: Cameraman give me the camera.

Cameraman: Gives Joker the camera.

Joker: Looking at the video-clip......

Joker: You are talking perfectly maybe you have some problems with your grammar.

Joker: But Miss may I ask you in something. Why does you right hand have nail polish and your left has not?

Program Leader: ................. ( Gets annoyed)

Joker: Common answer me?

Program Leader: I lost my nail polish when I worked.

Joker: His eye gets foggy.

Joker: Good English, Miss..........

Program Leader: You have no proof! ( annoyed)

Joker: Maybe, I do your anger and emotion might drive you to prison.

Program Leader: You still have no proof.

Joker: Yes I do!

Program Leader: How so?

Joker: Your hands smell acrid and nasty do you know why?

Program Leader: It is from the nail polish.

Joker: Nice try! Because Belladonna is a smelly plant. If I was a good killer I preferred something that did not smell.

Program Leader: Takes her gun from the purse.

Killer: Do not come near me otherwise I will shoot.

Killer:  My plan was perfect! I was going to kill that traitor.

Joker: Why is Eliza the traitor? Joker: Calls, Ema ( Puts the phone on speaker)

Ema: For the love of god, Joker what is it? (Getting annoyed)

Killer: We were, Lab Partners and I told her to join the organization with me.

Joker: So what does it have to do with, Eliza.

Ema: Puts her phone on speaker...

Killer: We lived on paycheck after paychecks we got plenty of money if our work was acknowledged. But if it is not so popular we cant barely afford to pay our rent or even have dinner at home.

Liam: Mam, It has nothing to do with your partner she is not responsible for your hard times you were both in it for goodness sake. ( talks to the killer)

Killer: Can you please, shush your partner or  I will kill him.

Liam: For the love of god why can, Joker speak and I not.

Killer: Shoots.

Bullet hits the ground.......

Killer: Because you are annoying!

Joker: I agree!

Liam: HEY!

Joker: He is new so please forgive him.

Killer: I guess so.

Killer: My master told me that my partner left me to get rich.

Joker: Who might your master be?

Killer: You can guess?

Killer: If you guess wrong I will shoot you.

Joker: Damn!

Officer: Whispering on radio

Joker: Thinking...............

Joker: This is a hard question they are more than 100.000 of crime organizations all over the world and we have also the underworld. ( Thinking)

Joker: Read the characters profile........... ( Thinking)

Joker: Lab Tech = Profit = Smuggling ( Thinking)

Joker: Lab = Gain = Crime ( Thinking)

Joker: Lab = Pot = Crime = Testing ( Thinking)

Joker: I think I'm getting closer. ( Thinking)

Joker: Lab = Test = Drug = Profit = Crime ( Thinking)

Joker: I got it!

Killer: Your time is almost up!

Joker: Your master is non other than the Devil.

Joker: Getting Nervous....

Killer: How did you know?

Joker: Simple! I set the pieces in the correct order in my mind, just like a puzzle.

Killer: And that means?

Joker: You are a lab technician equals testing drugs. It fits your profile.

Joker: You would not work in a meth lab since you get lesser paid and cops do easily find meth labs and also you could get easily addicted. When I look at  you, you do not smell or looked stoned . So the perfect job for you would be working in a large organization that needs help testing drugs and making them.

Liam: What do you think officer?

Officer: I was wrong about him.

Liam: A misunderstood genius.

Officer: Why are you on his side?

Liam: I do not want to get suspended.

Officer: Well guess what, you are not.

Killer: Nice deduction, Joker.

Killer: My master speaks very highly of you.

Killer: But I must leave for know.

Joker: Where, you are surrounded?

Killer: I have friends waiting for me.

Joker: Look around you stupid! You have no friends, Devil fooled you.

Joker: She is the master of manipulation.

Ema: Yelling! Put down the gun.

Joker: Great she reacted to my call.

Ema: Holding the gun.

Killer: You cannot shoot me I'm holding a hostage.

Ema: Eliza, was you partner, how could you?

Killer: So? She is dead to me!

Ema: Shaking the gun.

Joker: This is bad if, Ema shoots she might get arrested for murder.

Joker: Thinking...............

Ema: Partners do not turn there back on partners especially when they both suffer during hard times.

Killer: She left me to rot.

Ema: During her last breath she told she wanted a carrier change. She even told me I missed my friend.

Killer: So,what?

Ema: She was going to join the red cross.

Killer: Liar!!!!!!!

Joker: Here goes!

Joker: Tackles the culprit and a person down on the ground.

Killer: Damn!

Killer: Do not move!

Joker: Is paralyzed.......

Joker: Damn!

Killer: On the ground points the gun at, Joker:..........

Killer: My master waits for me so goodbye. I will have you as my hostage.

Ema: Shoots at the killer.

Joker: No!!!!!

Bullet:The bullet hits next to the killers ears...

Killer: Screams!

Joker: Kicked her unconscious............

Liam: You did it,pal, you caught the killer.

Joker: Do not doubt my dedication or you will have a shoe print on your face.

Liam: I wont, Sir.

Officer: Good Job!

Officer: Thanks for your help!

Security Team: Arrested the killer.

The next day......................

At the Train station...........

Gary: Waving to his new friends.

Gary: Thank you!

Joker: No problem!

Ema: No problem.

Liam: No problem.

Maricia: No Problem.

Ema: What are you going to do?

Gary: I'm going to follow Eliza's footsteps and work in the, Red Cross.

Ema: That is beautiful.

Joker: Looks at, Ema......

Liam: Maricia, do you want to come with us and maybe join me in the lab?

Maricia: Sure! I got bored living like this.

Liam: Then it is settled you will become my lab partner.

Joker: Shocked...........

Ema: Shocked.............

At the Police HQ

Chief: So I heard yet again you have been involved in a case.

Chief: The San Diego branch called me.

Liam: Well I guess we did good.

Chief: I guess so!

Joker: Diamond, I have to introduce you to someone.

Chief: And who might it be?

Liam: This is my Lab partner she is called Maricia and she helped us solved the case.

Joker: Indeed.

Chief: How so?

Ema: She helped me analyze the poison and  she even slowed the poison from entering, the victims body but unfortunate it was to late.

Chief: I see!

Maricia: Hi my name is Maricia, I'm from San Diego and I have studied medicine but I got a part time job in  custom service. I got bored so I wanted a carrier change.

Chief: You may call me, Diamond apparently  this crew spoke highly of you so you may join us but in one condition.

Maricia: What is that, Diamond?

Joker: Here she goes again. ( thinking)

Ema:    I hope she does not  speak to much I'm tired. ( thinking)

Chief: You must obey every command you're officers tell you or me, since you are just a rookie.

Chief: If you want to have a higher rank you must complete our academic testing.

Maricia: I understand.

Chief: Liam, show her around!

Liam: Yes, Mam!

Chief:  Get some rest.

Joker & Ema: We will.
