## Events Of Criminal Case

### No Fortune In Misinterpretation

Lavender was found innocent of the murder after her mother was incarcerated.

After Kaleb and Leonora told her their story, Sarah Jessica told them to wait and after a while she finally them and told them that she made her decision and that they can stay in the bakery as long as they wish. However, she will also be bringing another person under the roof. Curious, Kaleb asked his mother who else will come to live with them, where she told them that after Deborah heard of her prophecy, in fear that Orchid would murder her and Lavender would be left with no guardian, she and SJ made an agreement that Lavender will go live with SJ if any harm befell Deborah. Sarah Jessica then told them that she has the papers proving this agreement with her, but she had forgotten where she put them and since as she had seen the duo seem to like finding stuff, she would like them to go fetch the papers to her so that she can show them to the social workers and be allowed to take Lavender in. Kaleb and Leonora agreed to help and started searching the bakery where they came across a locked cabinet, unlocked and found a set of faded papers. After having dusted them and making the content look clearer, they gave the papers to Sarah Jessica, she thanked them and told them that she will go and talk with the social workers and that she left some chores for them on the fridge which she’d like to be done by the time she arrives.

It is nearly afternoon, Kaleb and Leonora had already finished their chores and they were busy chasing a rat out of the bakery. Suddenly, a fat ginger cat came out and attacked the rat, which quickly ran out of the door, where Sarah Jessica and Lavender had entered. Lavender then held the cat and apologized to the duo, hoping that Ronald, the cat, had not made a mess.

### Truth In The Crystal Ball

Lavender was found innocent of Sarah-Jessica’s murder after Dalal Najimy was incarcerated foe the crime.

Concerned, Maylin and Zachary agreed to see what Lavender wants, asking her what problem she is facing. Panicking, she told them that its not just about her but also about Leonora and Kaleb and that a letter was sent to them from the police, telling them to pack up their things as they are to be taken to foster care. Maylin gasped when she heard this and asked Lavender whether any of them have any surviving relatives where she broke to tears and told them that she doesn’t know about Kaleb but she doubts he does, Leonora is an orphan while the only surviving relative she has is rotting in prison for murder. She then stopped crying and asked the duo if the police know that Sveta was kidnapped, where they thought and told her they didn’t say any of that to the police and they don’t know whether Dalal discussed her motive or not and asked Lavender what she has in plan. Lavender started thinking and told the duo that she hadn’t mastered the transfiguration spell yet, but it still is worth a try though they need something that came from Sveta’s body if they wish for it to work. Maylin and Zachary looked at her confused and asked her what the hell is she talking about where she told them they have no time and that Sveta’s coat is hanging the kitchen and that she wants them to look at it and collect whatever they could possibly find stuck on it that comes from Sveta: A hair strand, a skin cell, tears or whatever. Still puzzled, the duo did as they were instructed anyway and looked around the kitchen where they found a coat which they guessed must belong to Sveta Rasputina and examined it where they found a couple of white fibers that looked out of place and assumed must be hair. Although not sure, the duo gave the fibers to Lavender anyway, who smiled and thanked them telling them to wait a little as she needs to do some things with the hair strands. After waiting a while, a women came out who Zachary and Maylin recognized from the pictures of Sveta Rasputina where looked at her shocked, telling her that they thought she was kidnapped where she started laughing. Their jaws then dropped when Sveta took off the golden crow brooch she was wearing and suddenly transformed to Lavender who asked them if she did a good job on the spell. Before they could ask her how she did this, she told them to ask no questions as she can hear police sirens, asking Maylin to put on the brooch and for Zachary to hide before going to call Leonora. Suddenly, no other than Aretha Levitt barged in the bakery, where she came face-to-face with Maylin, disguised as Sveta Rasputina. Remembering how she’s supposed to act creepy and prophetic, Maylin started sniffing Aretha and told her how she senses dark forces revolving around her and blablabla, before asking her why had she “graced” her home with her presence. Aretha crossed her arms and told Sveta to go away and that she came to take Kaleb, Leonora and Lavender to a foster home. “Sveta” looked at her with confusion and asked Aretha why, where Aretha rolled her eyes and told her that she should know that Sarah-Jessica Willoughby had been murdered as she is living in the same roof as she does and that the kids need to find a new home with a new guardian to take care of them. Lavender and Leonora then went down, where Leonora looked at “Sveta” with surprised and asked her how is she still here as she heard she was kidnapped where Lavender kicked her leg. When Aretha saw the two girls she grabbed their arms and told them that they’ll be going with her, asking Leonora where her “nosey” brother is. “Sveta” then shut the door and told Aretha not to act so fast, reminding her that anyone under 18 has to live under the same roof as an adult, but it never said what kind of adult. Aretha glared at her and asked for her point, where “Sveta” crossed her arms and told her that she is an adult and it doesn’t matter how crazy she may look to her, if Kaleb and the two girls wish to stay with her they have every right to do so. Aretha groaned and asked the two girls what they thought, where the two freed themselves from her grip and rushed behind “Sveta”. After Aretha left, “Sveta” took off the brooch, transforming back to Maylin, leading Leonora to shock. Zachary came out and Lavender sighed with relief, telling everyone that they dealt with Aretha for now, however, they still need to think of another plan as it will not be long until Dalal starts blabbering about her motive.
