## Motive

Trish: Lindsay Fairview, you're under arrest for the murder of Topher York and committing arson on York's residence. Why would you do such a thing?!

Lindsay: What?! This is a misunderstanding! I would never do such a thing!

Trish: Drop the act, young man. We've found all the evidences that lead to the same person, which is you. Why not just confess?

Lindsay: Confess what? I didn't do those things, I swear! It was-

Trish: Enough lying! We know the truth! We know it's you, Mr. Fairview! Speak up, or I'll make you!

Lindsay: No, seriously! I know who framed me because I never told you about him! HE was the one that's framing ME!

Trish: What? Topher framed you? How so?

Lindsay: He never was my friend. He hated my guts. He wanted to make sure that I took the blame. Every. Single. Time.

Lindsay: But today, he wanted to show me something. Once I got to his house, he wanted me to douse him in gasoline. I was so gullible that I did it. Then he just lit himself on fire! Like, he did it himself!

Trish: Pardon?

Lindsay: I'll explain it at the court. All my honesty will go there-

Trish: No, not that. Your eyes changed colors, Mr. Fairview.

Lindsay: What?

Lindsay: Wait, what is-

*Bang!*

Lindsay: ......

Trish: Mr. Fairview!

Trish: Detective, did you see that? He just got shot right in the heart!

Trish: But... who did that? And more importantly, what is happening?

Edward: Liar! It's not him!

Trish: Mr. Carl? And... Mr. Fairview? Wait, but you're-

Edward: The one that killed Topher and burned down York's residence was not the real Lindsay. It was his clone!

Trish: Say what? Clone? He cloned himself?

Edward: Well, I'll let the man answer for me.

Lindsay: I... Topher and I was just walking around the city when some strange guy in a mask came and abducted us.

Lindsay: Then, I woke up in a strange place. Not really sure what that place was, but there, they somehow created some clone of sorts, and there was... my clone too, I think.

Edward: I found him locked up with Topher, but thankfully he was okay.

Edward: Or at least, until I realized that the real Topher had escaped, and I didn't save Lindsay, but his clone.

Lindsay: All I remember is, they injected some kind of serum to my body, and somehow my clone came out...

Trish: Okay, that's enough. So uhh... what should we do now?

Edward: Don't worry, I'll take care of him.

Lindsay: I'm not going to jail... right?

Edward: You won't. You're safe with me. I promise.

Trish: Well, that was awkward. Let's go back to the station and pretend that nothing happened, should we?

Edward: Oh, Detective? If you don't mind, I'll be heading to your headquarters after I drove Lindsay home. We have to discuss about something.

Trish: Okay... In that case, we'll wait for you at the station, Mr. Carl.

## Redville Anthologies I: Chains of The Lost Rubies (6/6)

After Carl left with Lindsay, we went back to the station where Sofia saw us and asked where Lindsay is, to which we told her to wait until Carl arrives and then she will get answers, but Sofia doesn't give in and told us that someone saw us leaving the park and when they went to investigate, they saw Lindsay's body. We started to sweat but we told her the same thing as before and at the end she says that we better have a good explanation. Time passed and Carl finally entered the station, so Sofia asked us the same question again and Carl answered for us, explaining what he did during his investigation on Darkville. He told us that, after we proved that he was innocent of Tristan's murder, he went back to investigate the clues he had about the organization and to look for who Tristan's victim was, discovering that it was a policewoman who made sure that the organization's activities were not discovered, and that there were many complaints about disappearances, but he didn't know where the victims were. He didn't know how to continue his investigation and then he began to receive tons of calls, telling him to stop. But instead of doing that, he bought his own team to trace the calls, and after the incident with Chris, he received another threat, but he was able to trace it and he reached the place where there were some hostages along with some clones. After Topher was killed, he began to have suspicions of Lindsay, so he investigated the place again only to find the real one. After that, he told us that Darkville could be behind the clones, but we can't tell the team because of the risk that maybe one of them has been replaced with a clone. He left the station shortly after explaining everything. After Carl left, Noah entered the station, saying that he wanted to confess something. He admitted that Darkville threatened him to keep quiet about what he saw in one of the robberies: he didn't see the attacker but he heard them muttering something about a deal in Diamond Plaza, so we decided to check it out.
