On Christmas Eve of that year, I was called out to a lake to meet with a man, only for him to shoot a gun twice, deliberately missing both times, before diving into the water. I was too dumbfounded at the time to process it as anything but a suicide that had taken place before my eyes.
The next day, Robert Hammond's body was found in the lake. I was arrested on suspicion of murdering the man. I tried to refuse counsel, especially once Wright saw fit to try to involve himself, as the fact that anyone would wish to frame me for such a murder had made it far more difficult to tell myself that the nightmare I'd had about my Father's murder all the more credible. Concerning Wright in particular, I still regarded him as the enemy -- when he first showed up at the detention center, I had assumed that he had come to laugh.
As it turned out, Wright refused to take "no" for an answer. Once his persistence in investigating the murder led to him uncovering its connection to the DL-6 trial of fifteen years prior, I allowed him to represent me out of recognition of his dedication.
The prosecutor for the case was my own mentor, Manfred von Karma himself. I had assumed it to be merely coincidental. I should have known better, given his ability to plan and to control circumstances -- indeed, the most valuable techniques of his that I know.
