Probably for the first time in his life, everyone's eyes were on the deputy and his sparky-pants. Sparky grinning boldly as he held the vial. "You heard right. I cracked the case, just like I promised several chapters ago!"

Judge Mentle slammed his gavel. "I will not tolerate pointless fourth wall breaking in this court. Officer, kindly explain to us what you have there!"

Sparkly let out a twinkish giggle. "Contained in this vile vial, is DNA from a kiss between the murderer and the victim. And after the autopsy, it was found on the mint too!"

"Ewwww!" Everyone went, including Himbolake's cabal of fangirls.

"Ewww is right!" Sparky said, still feeling quite boisterous. "It seems the victim was betrayed with a kiss! Christ! That's awful!"

Spark thrust his index finger forward. "But fear not! For I have will right this wrong and whoa whooaaaa whooaaaa!"

The deputy tripped over his own feet and the vial went up in the air. "Ohhhhh snaaaap!" he cried as it somersaulted through the air. (Luckily, it had a cork in it.)

Ashley calmly paced towards the flipping evidence and deftly caught it in het spiked cat-gloves.

Ashley placed her hands on her hips. "Deputy..." she hissed to a wincing Sparky. "Next time, don't take credit for someone else's hard work and sleuthing."

Sparky started blubbering and bowing his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Ryan. Please punish me!"

"Please...punish you?" Mina said raising her eyebrow. Sparky's distraction and odd behavior was enough to distract her from the Himbolake phone.

"Hehe," Sparky chuckled. "I mean, please DON'T punish me!"

"Lawd..." Mina said, rolling her eyes. "His feet aren't the only thing that's slipping. Freud is too."

Ashley raised the vial triumphantly.

"After talking to Himbolake and Miss Cilan yesterday, I ordered an autopsy of the victim and it turns out...I was right! As usual!"

Himbolake started to sweat profusely. "Oh god. Oh lord. Oh deity!" he gasped.

"Please tell us, Dustbin!" Ashley smirked. "How you poisoned your ex with a minty kiss and took her breath away literally."

"Oh bajeezus!" Himbolake exclaimed and unexpectedly, he removed his full head of hair, revealing it was a hairpiece and used to to mop up his drenched face.

All of his teeny boppers fans gasped in horror at this feat, as Himbolake revealed that his head and his testimony were rather hairless.

All of a sudden, Himbolake threw his wig on the ground like a cat puking a hairball. He turned to Mina, glaring at her in such an ugly way that he didnt even resemble to smooth popstar she crushed on when she was younger. "You...attorney!" he hissed. "You failed me...You promised you'd keep my non-stick reputation un-sticky and you failed!"

Everyone gaped at Mina. Even Blind. No one had any idea she had vowed to help a dirty, disgusting criminal stay one step ahead of the law. But judging from the looks on the audience's face and how they went from shocked to disgusted, Mina knew she had truly mucked up her own reputation.

"Because of this!" Dustin exclaimed, his voice raspy and sick from screaming. "Your precious justice WILL DIE!"
