September 9, District Courtroom Defense Lobby No 3. 9:30 AM
"You look like you didn't get much sleep, Phoenix." Mia said while Phoenix was taking a drink of a 5 Hour Energy Shot.
"...I was trying to put some of the puzzle pieces together for our case, and so many questions were running through my mind." Phoenix said while taking a drink of water to prevent dehydration, "... I did take it easy and get enough sleep...but it still hurts a little."
Mia had walked to where Phoenix was getting his water; "It's not to late to change your mind, Phoenix, I don't want you to get stressed out." She spoke, her tone softened with sympathy.
"...I know why you want me to change my mind," Phoenix replied, a discerning look on his face, accenting the suspicious look in his eyes. "...it's because of Miles Edgeworth."
A light shock pulsed through Mia, but she quickly shrugged it off. "Exactly because of Edgeworth, Phoenix. He doesn't care about pain; he will bury you if you show weakness."
Phoenix took another drink of water to help the medicine make its way down, "It's like I told you yesterday; I wouldn't do this if I didn't take this job seriously, let alone wanted to," he looked at his mentor, a hawk-like stare in his eyes. "Besides, I got personal reasons to why I wanna take him on."
"Personal reasons?" Mia asked curiously
"Yes, Mia, reasons that would be related to when I defended Larry Butz," before he began to explain further, Maya burst into the defendant's lobby, wearing what looked to be a business suit.
"Wow Maya," Mia said as she took notice of Maya wearing an outfit that was similar to her own; albeit,it was in the size of a seventeen year old teenager."This is the first time I've ever seen you in a suit."
"Yeah...I bought a few suits for her because of the courtroom's dress code.; it turns out, we can be held in contempt if she's wearing her acolyte outfit, so I had to take the extra measures to prevent a disaster from happening."
"Kinda figured they wouldn't allow your clothing in the court room even though it's religious clothing," Mia replied as she hugged her sister while getting a good look at her sophistication.
"It's okay, Mia, even without the dress code, I wanted to take every aspect of this job as seriously as Phoenix is doing," Maya said while dividing her gaze between Phoenix and her sister.
Mia chuckled at the scene, "So you're trying to be an attorney as well? Who’s gonna run the farm in your place?"
"I still plan to be a medium, Sis, it's just that I don't wanna be the cause of you losing your cases."
"And I must say, your sister is proving to be a valuable help in my own investigation of the case," Phoenix said as he took out his phone for the Court Records app.
"Has she really?" Mia asked as she looked at the evidence in his phone and caught something in her eye. "A wiretap?"
"Found at the Gatewater Hotel along with the alleged witness," Phoenix replied while putting the phone up. "Was sticking out like a sore thumb when Maya found it alongside a screwdriver in a dresser drawer."
"And I assume the witness is gonna be testifying today?" Mia asked.
"When the moment arrives I'm gonna ask her about this Wiretap," Phoenix stated after the bailiff called for them to enter the court room. "I don't believe she committed the crime but she was definitely an accomplice."
"Well, before you get started, Phoenix, I got another piece of advice for you: don't be afraid the press every question on the witness stand if you can't find a contradiction in his testimony," Mia said as they walked into the court room.
"Kinda like how you do it right, Chief?" Phoenix asked.
"Yes, Phoenix, and I'm sure my sister will be a bigger help for you during this trial." Mia looked at her sister who smiled gently at her.
"I have no doubt in my mind about that," Phoenix said as the trio took their place in the Defendant's Desk.
September 9, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 1
Across from Phoenix's side of the courtroom, came Miles Edgeworth on what was obviously his prosecution bench, wearing what many considered his trademark suit: dark purple sports coat, matching pants, white button up shirt that layer underneath a black vest and matching black dress shoes. His expression was exactly how Phoenix and Maya described it: he looked cold, calculating, and ready to attack at any sign of weakness.
"All rise," yelled the bailiff, makingthe entire courtroom stand up from their chairs at attention as the Judge presiding the case made his way to his judicial desk which centered at the court and was the highest platform of the entire courtroom.
The crowd was still talking as both they and the judge began to sit down. He pounded the gavel, bringing them to silence. "This court will come to order for the trial of Ms. Mia Fey."
"The prosecution is ready, Your Honor," Miles said as he connected his smartphone to the Prosecutor's Bench.
"The defense is ready, Your Honor," Phoenix said while doing the same.
"Very well, Mr. Edgeworth, if you will give your opening statement." said the Judge
"Yes, Your Honor," Edgeworth replied while pointing at Mia. "The defendant, Ms. Mia Fey, was at the scene of the crime, and we have enough decisive to prove that she committed the murder, as well as a witness who saw her do it."
"I see," the Judge replied. "Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth, now if you would call your first witness."
"The prosecution calls the chief officer at the scene, Detective Gumshoe." Dick Gumshoe walked into the platform reserved for witnesses. "Now, Witness, please state your name and profession to the court."
“Detective Dick Gumshoe, of the Los Angeles Homicide Police Division.”
"Now Detective Gumshoe, if you can describe to the court the details of the murder," Edgeworth said.
"Yes, sir, I have a floor map of the office to explain." A screen illuminated from the witness stand with a picture of a map that depicted Samuel Rosenberg's office.
Gumshoe posted a victim symbol on a spot near the painting, where the body was found, and how it faced a window. Cause of death was loss of blood due to a blunt object, which obviously belonged to "The Thinker", found next to the body.
"It was heavy enough to be a deadly weapon, even in a girl's hands," Gumshoe said as he finished his Crime Scene description.
After the floor plans were added to Wright and Edgeworth's court records, Miles asked, "Now, Gumshoe, you immediately arrested Ms. Mia Fey who was at Rosenberg's parking garage, correct?"
"Yes, sir, and I have hard evidence she did it," Gumshoe replied jauntily.
"Detective Gumshoe, if you can testify to the court about this 'hard evidence,’” the Judge requested.
Gumshoe testified that on September 7th, a phone call came in about a murder and how he and his squad rushed to the scene, they were the only ones in the crime scene after the murder. They immediately arrested Mia Fey after finding her name on a receipt written in blood and a recording of the angry phone call that she had with Rosenberg. He passively made a statement that a witness had saw Mia Fey the very moment of the murder.
"Hm...The very moment, you say?" the Judge asked after the testimony then looked at Phoenix. "Mr. Wright, you may begin cross-examination."
"Yes, Your Honor," Phoenix replied firmly before looking at the testimony transcripts on his Defense Desk.
Phoenix turned to Gumshoe. "Now Gumshoe, when you received a phone call about the murder, who did you get the phone call from?"
"The call was from a customer at the Gatewater Hotel, right across from the crime scene."
"And did she see the murderer leave the crime scene?"
"She saw the murder and Ms. Fey leaving the crime scene."
"Now when you did receive the phone call, and what time did you arrive at the crime scene?"
"Three minutes after the murder," Gumshoe then looked at Mia "Mia had attempted to return to the crime scene two minutes after we arrived."
"And upon you finding some decisive evidence on Mia Fey, you immediately arrested her?"
"Yes."
"Now earlier before testifying, you said that you had ‘hard evidence,’ am I not wrong about that?" Phoenix asked.
"Did I say that?" Gumshoe was confused. "Me?"
There was unanimous agreement between Wright, Edgeworth and the Judge that Gumshoe had said it "Exactly what about this witnesses’ claim was hard evidence?" Phoenix asked after pounding his desk.
The Judge cut in, "Do you have any more solid proof other than her claims, Detective?"
Phoenix kept neutral as Gumshoe said, "Sorry, I got the order of things mixed up in my testimony, Your Honor."
'Doesn't surprise me that he would answer that.' Phoenix thought to himself while Gumshoe began to start another testimony.
Gumshoe testified that prior to Mia Fey returning to the crime scene, he had found a piece of paper next to the victim's body. Mia's name was written in blood and lab tests showed the blood was the victim's, thanks to blood on the victim’s finger.
After the testimony concluded, the judge asked, "Why didn't you testify about this vital piece of evidence the first time?"
Gumshoe scratched his head in embarrassment. "I forgot about it, Your Honor."
"Try to be more careful, Gumshoe, the defense may begin its cross-examination." The Judge looked at Phoenix as he opened the new transcript.
"Actually, before I begin the cross examination, Your Honor, I'd like to ask a question," Phoenix said after reading the transcript.
"Yes, Mr. Wright, what is it?" the Judge replied.
"Judging by the testimony by Detective Gumshoe, was there by chance an update to the Autopsy?" Phoenix had his gaze firmly on Edgeworth.
"How did you know about an updated autopsy, Wright?" Edgeworth asked with slight surprise, although he lacked a matching facial expression.
"Well, from the looks of this testimony," Phoenix smirked, "either there's an updated autopsy or he's lying."
"Wow, Mr. Wright, you're catching on quick." Edgeworth tapped a few things on his phone screen. "Your Honor, the defense is correct in saying that there was an updated autopsy that had been completed as of this morning."
The autopsy was updated to include the details about Rosenberg living a few minutes before his death. Phoenix looked at Gumshoe and said, "Detective, do you mistake me for a fool because I believed the prior autopsy of your testimony?"
"Me? No but I…" Gumshoe stammered the rest of his sentence.
Edgeworth cut him off, "Detective Gumshoe, I am disappointed in you for handing him a report like that."
Gumshoe then felt guilt course through him. "Oh, I'm sorry, sir."
"This isn't going to look good on your evaluation next month," Edgeworth said coldly. "Your Honor, I submit this report to the court."
Phoenix decided to jump in. "Your Honor, the evidence strongly suggests the victim was identifying his alleged killer."
"What do you mean by alleged?" Edgeworth asked.
"Both Mia and I stand by our alibi of her taking me to the drug store while the murder occurred, Edgeworth, whether you like it or not," Phoenix replied with a glare.
"Believe what you want to believe, Mr. Wright, but I do have a witness that says otherwise." Edgeworth looked at the judge "Your Honor, the prosecution would like to call Miss April May to the stand."
The Judge accepted Edgeworth's request, allowing April May to take the Witness stand. April May had appeared in her usual attire of a pink suit with heart shaped buttons, pink skirt, and matching pink heels with heart shaped symbols. Her personality sprayed out Valley Girl like an expensive perfume, which was not good for Phoenix's still sore nose. Luckily both he and Maya came prepared as the Spirit Medium reached for the face masks in her new purse.
"Mr. Wright, may I ask what you're doing?" the Judge asked
"My apologies, Your Honor, but the witness is wearing a perfume that is harmful to my nose," Phoenix replied as he began to put the face mask on. "I'm sure the court can still hear me through the microphone, can you your honor?"
"Not gonna lie, you do sound muffled, but for your health I'll allow you to wear that mask," the Judge said.
Before April could even get slightly offended, Edgeworth got to business "Witness, your name, please."
'Well if I can't charm him, I'll charm the room,' April thought of Wright as she replied "I'm April May, at your service!" she ended her sentence with a seductive wink.
Needless to say the men in the court room were acting like audience in a strip club before the Judge pounded the gavel. "Order in the court, an introduction should not require any reaction from the crowd!" He slightly lowered his voice. "Witness, you are to refrain from your wanton winking."
April disappointedly complied with the Judge's request and Edgeworth continued "Now, Miss May, you were at the Gatewater Hotel the night of September 7th, correct?"
"Correct, big boy, I checked in right after lunch," April replied in a sweet voice to Edgeworth.
"Kindly testify to the court about what you saw." The Judge said as she began to give her testimony.
April testified that around 8:30 PM, the time of the murder, she saw a chunky man being attacked from the view of her hotel window. Naturally she pinned the blame on Mia; in describing the attack, she described how the victim had made a dodge and tried to run away before Mia allegedly caught up to him. The final half of the testimony described how she saw Rosenberg slumped against a painting.
Upon her finishing the testimony, the Judge was still in deep thought before Edgeworth snapped at him, "Well, Your Honor?"
The Judge caught on. "I see. With a solid testimony like hers, I see no reason to trouble the witness any..."
Phoenix cut him off "Your Honor, the defense would still like to cross-examine the witness."
The Judge looked at Nick curiously, "I honestly thought the witness's testimony was quite...firm." He didn't want any pun intended.
Edgeworth later cut in with a smirk, "Mr. Wright...I understand you are your clients understudy were you not?"
"So what if I am, Edgeworth?" Phoenix replied with a glare at the prosecutor.
"So you must know her techniques well," Edgeworth shook his head in sarcasm "Her cowardly way of finding tiny faults in perfectly good testimonies."
Phoenix didn't hesitate when he pounded his desk. "Yeah, I've been in the courtroom with her." Then he pointed his finger at Edgeworth. "But because of those tactics, she rarely lost a case, and I don't care how cowardly you think it is, I'm gonna follow those tactics whether you like it or not, coward."
"Mr. Wright, you will refrain from your personal attacks on Edgeworth." The Judge glared at Wright before continuing. "Very well, if you wish to cross-examine, you may do so."
Phoenix looked at both of them coolly. "Yes, Your Honor." He turned his gaze to April, "Now this 'chunky man' you described in your testimony, is one Samuel Rosenberg, correct?"
"Mmm-hmm, big and gross, and some might say old," she looked at Nick teasingly. "If that's your thing."
Phoenix ignored that comment and continued, "Now when you allegedly saw the crime, how would you describe the defendant?"
"She was slender with a busty figure, and pretty."
That last statement really got Nick's attention before he pounded his desk "Miss May, you wanna know something glaring about that statement?"
"W-what!?" April flinched a little
"Did you really see the defendant at all?" Phoenix asked before the Judge cut in.
"Mr. Wright! What's the meaning of this?"
"That's the same question I'd like to ask the witness," Phoenix didn't miss a beat "because if she witnessed my client, Mia Fey, committing the murder," he pointed his finger to April, "You would've noticed her clothes before her physique."
April really flinched before Nick laid it in thicker and heavier. "Now I'm no expert on fashion, but I do know this, very rarely do murders get committed in the nude, and Miss Fey was not nude during the night of murder." He pounded his desk. "This testimony is bogus."
Mia, who had sat patiently behind Nick the whole time, had to shake her head in amusement at his statement. 'At least his mind is not in the gutter,' she thought to herself.
The Judge was curious. "Still, Mr. Wright, we don't know if she was dressed that way the night of the murder..."
Phoenix cut him off. "Your Honor, Detective Gumshoe can verify that Mia Fey was wearing her usual suit on the night of the murder." He looked at April again. "Can you verify the same thing, Miss May?"
April growled angrily and said, "What are you trying to say, you mean lawyer, I saw what I saw!"
The Judge wouldn't have it. "Miss May, the court would like to remind you to omit nothing from your testimony."
She apologized frantically and began another testimony. She testified that the victim had run off to the right after he dodged the first attack. Her final half of the testimony described the murder weapon, the Thinker clock.
"Defense, begin your cross-examination," the Judge said without delay.
Phoenix was doing a run through of the testimony transcripts on his screen and asked April, "Now Miss May, about this weapon, where exactly did it come from?"
"She picked it up from the desk," April replied.
"And what kind of weapon was it again?" Phoenix asked almost knowing that answer.
"A clock, the Thinker statue, I think." April looked as if she was thinking of a make-up catalog.
Phoenix really got into it, "The Thinker you say? Miss May what you just said was revealing?"
"Ooh, you'd like that, wouldn't you, Mr. Lawyer." April was being seductive.
Phoenix ignored her and said "You said that this statue of "The Thinker" was a clock. But there's no way of knowing just by looking at it!" He accessed his Court Records app and presented the statue "Another person that stood in your position called this a clock as well and he was found guilty of murder...last month."
The courtroom crowd got riled up again before the gavel got pounded "Order! Order!" the Judge yelled and the crowd quieted down.
"Now, Miss May, can you explain how you know this was a clock?"
Edgeworth cut in, "OBJECTION! The witness saw the murder with her own eyes, that's the important matter here!."
"I agree Mr. Edgeworth," the Judge replied. "Mr. Wright you will withdraw that question."
Wright wouldn't have it "OBJECTION! Your Honor, questions are all I have; Mia and I have caught murderers before with these questions."
The Judge slightly pondered, "Objection sustained, you may continue to question the witness."
"I'll ask you again, Miss May, how did you know it was a clock?" Phoenix asked, his eyes were on the witness again.
Stuttering for a few seconds April found the answer she was looking for "I heard it...yes I heard the time." The excitement she felt didn't last long though.
"Heard the time? So you've been in Rosenberg Law Offices?" Phoenix didn't miss a beat.
April got on the defensive. "No, why would I wanna go there, anyway?"
Edgeworth cut in again "The murder took place at Rosenberg Law Offices and the hotel was very close, she could've heard the clock easily."
“Your Honor, members of the court," Phoenix said as began to put a request for the Thinker to appear physically on his desk. "I have proof that the clock couldn't have rung."
He handed the statue to The Judge who easily detached the statue from the base, "See anything interesting, Your Honor?"
Upon further inspection of the statue, the Judge agreed with his statement "This clock is missing is clockwork. It's quite empty."
While the Judge looked at the statue, Phoenix looked at Edgeworth with a tense look. 'I know he's probably gonna pull a trick on me, I better get ready for more proof,' he thought to himself while he ran through his evidence on The Court Records and noticed Maya's phone.
"Your Honor, I have further evidence that verifies that the clock was removed," Phoenix said as the Thinker was returned back to his desk. He presented Maya's Cell Phone to the Court. "Ladies and gentlemen, I bring your attention to this phone."
"Well for a second cell phone, that is pretty cute," the Judge said while taking in its flashy pink appearance.
"No, my cell phone is connected to the desk, this phone belongs to the sister of my client, and it has a recording of a conversation that happened the day before the murder," Phoenix replied while proceeding to access the recording while the court room got riled up again.
"Order! Order!" the Judge screamed again after pounding the gavel.
"A cell phone!?!? This wasn't brought to my attention!" Edgeworth said clearly livid at this new revelation.
"That's because this phone was not being accepted as evidence at the time," Phoenix replied before formally entering it to evidence. "Now without further ado, I want to play the conversation that went between Mia and her sister."
The phone played the conversation that Mia had with Maya, describing how the clock was not working and how she had to take the clockwork out. When the phone finished the conversation, Phoenix said "As you can see, this recording makes it clear that the clockwork was already gone, and this was recorded in the morning before the murder at Wright and Co Law Offices."
Edgeworth was genuinely fascinated by these facts brought before him, "So wait, Mr. Wright, the defendant had originally called her sister to hold the statue?"
Phoenix took a long hard look at Edgeworth and made a deep thought to himself, he later replied "Yes, Mr. Edgeworth, upon further hearing of the conversation, the statue was originally used to store evidence for an upcoming case that Ms. Mia Fey was gonna take part in." Pounding his desk again Phoenix continued, "But the night before the murder, another murder was gonna take place, until it was prevented by yours truly."
The crowd got riled up again but it barely started when the Judge pounded the gavel "Order! Order!" He turned his attention to Phoenix. "This is new information that this court has not yet heard."
"You're saying that on the night before the murder, Mia Fey was about to murdered?" Edgeworth asked with complete shock.
"Luckily, I got there in time to prevent that murder," Phoenix replied. “The night before the murder when I went in to make the save on Ms. Mia Fey, the real murderer had used The Thinker on me, which left me with severely bruised ribs and a sore nose." Pointing at his face mask Phoenix continued, "Which will explain to you why I'm wearing this."
April cut in "So that means the defendant had attacked you with the statue before making her move on killing that attorney?"
Neither The Judge, Edgeworth, or Wright made a move upon April making that statement; the room itself was pin-drop silent. Until, "OBJECTION! I'm afraid you're wrong about that Ms. April May."
"OBJECTION! Even with these new allegations, do you have any proof that says she's wrong?" Edgeworth cut in.
"Glad you asked that, Mr. Edgeworth." Phoenix pointed at Edgeworth and continued. "Because I actually have concrete proof that not only my client didn't commit that murder, but proves our alibi that we told the police the night she was arrested." Upon his command, Maya had opened his briefcase and pulled out some pieces of paper. "Your honor, I submit to the court, receipts from a Pharmacy, and letters of agreement from my district hospital doctor, and the owner of that pharmacy that they will testify and verify our alibi that on the exact time of the murder, my client was with me all day at the hospital and the pharmacy at the night of the murder."
The Judge and Edgeworth had looked at all three documents for a few seconds before Edgeworth made a decision. "The documents are 100% percent authentic and concrete with Phoenix and Mia's alibi, I see no need to suspect Ms. Fey of murder anymore, Your Honor."
"I quite agree with you, Edgeworth, I see this as grounds for dismissing this portion of the trial," The Judge agreed before proceeding to pound the gavel.
But before that even happened, April cut in tearfully, "Wait, no, pleeeeeeease, nooooooooo."
The entire courtroom now looked at April May, who at this point was bawling her eyes out. Edgeworth and Phoenix looked at her curiously at this change in behavior.
"Miss April May, just what is the matter?" Phoenix asked while his demeanor began to soften up.
"All right, all right, I admit it, I lied," April replied while sobbing "I lied about everything, about the testimony, but I had no other choice."
Even Edgeworth was shocked. "What do you mean by 'no other choice' Miss May?"
"I had no other choice, if I didn't get Ms. Fey the guilty verdict, he...he...he," April really sobbed as she finished. "He would kill me if I didn't!"
The court room was starting to rile up but that got silenced instantly by the gavel being pounded. "Wait a minute, someone forced you to lie?" The Judge asked in complete shock.
"Yes, he said, 'If I find out that Mia Fey hadn't been convicted of murder, it'll be your last breathing day on earth,'" April said between sobs.
"Well even though you did commit perjury in your testimony, if you promise to talk, I'll arrange for your prison sentence to be cut short and we'll get you in Protective Custody," Edgeworth said hoping to provide comfort even though he truly sucked at it.
"If I do talk, can I at least keep it between you and the other two here?" April asked while beginning to calm down.
"If Defense has no objections, we can agree to a confidential meeting in my chambers," The Judge replied
"I have no objections your honor." Phoenix replied.
"With that, court is adjourned. Ms. Mia Fey as of right now you are free to go." The Judge pounded his gavel as the entire court began to stand up and make their leave for the courtroom.
September 9th District Courtroom 11:00 AM
An additional thirty minutes were needed between Wright, Edgeworth, and April May as she began to explain that the person who made the threat at her. She would be placed in protective custody away from her now former boss. While preparing to make their way to exiting the courtroom, Phoenix and Edgeworth were side by side discussing the new details that just unfolded, an argument already began to erupt between Wright and Edgeworth over the latter's rejection on pressing charges.
"I can't believe she didn't even tell you about the threat, Edgeworth," Phoenix said while holding a paper that contained April May's testimony printed at his request.
"I swear to you, she told me everything that happened before the trial, I thought I told her to not leave any details out," Edgeworth replied, his pace of walking showing how foul his mood was.
"But still even with a man like Redd White, Ms. May gave you the proof you needed that is more than enough to charge him with murder, and you still are not willing to do it?" Phoenix asked his mood matching Edgeworth's.
They were at the direction of both Mia and Maya when Edgeworth replied, "Look, Phoenix, you know just as much as anyone that Redd White is a powerful man, any wrongdoing that he has done is just kid games to him."
"That's the reason why he wanted to kill me, Edgeworth." Both men turned at the sound of Mia Fey's voice. "Prior to my old boss being murdered, the last conversation he and I had was him telling me that it was dangerous to go after Redd."
"I know that, Ms. Fey, I still have the transcript to that conversation." Edgeworth replied, clearly frustrated that he practically lost.
"You do, Miles, but I on the other hand have been building evidence against Redd White for several years, and prior to him coming in to try and kill me," Mia and the other three began to walk outside as she continued, "I was going to submit that evidence for a trial against him."
"So that's why you hid your evidence in that statue?" Miles asked
"Yes, I figured if I put the evidence in there, I thought it would go unnoticed by many gave it to my sister," Mia replied while Phoenix pulled up his phone.
"So that would probably explain why this Wiretap was used," Phoenix said while passing phone around to Miles and Mia to show them the little black box with two wires on the end. "Maya and I found this while April went to take care of makeup in the bathroom."
It was Maya who cut in this time "It was because of that wiretap that she was able to listen to our conversation on the phone and how the killer was able to know what the Thinker was being used for."
"Wow, Maya, you were able to figure that out by yourself, I'm so proud of you," Mia said while proceeding to hug her younger sister.
"You'll be even prouder of her when I tell you that she was the one who gave the idea of getting the doctor and the pharmacist to testify to our alibi," Phoenix said while smiling at the younger Fey.
"You're right I am proud of her," Mia replied while absently making the hug tighter.
Just then they heard a clearing of the throat that came south of the foursome's direction. Wright, Edgeworth, and the Fey's turned their direction towards a tall man with Hispanic skin, short crew cut hair, dark brown eyes, and his uniform mostly consisted of a black suit and tie.
“Pardon my intrusion, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation about Redd White,” The stranger said in a voice that was reminiscent of Phillip Marlowe.
“We were discussing that,” Edgeworth replied. “Is there anything we can help you with?”
“Forgive me for not introducing myself, my name is Daniel Reagan, a private detective,” he showed his ID and badge to the four people in front of him. “ And if I'm not mistaken, it seems we're after the same objective.”
Nick knew what he was talking about. “Redd White?”
Daniel nodded. “Prior to Samuel Rosenberg's murder I've been investigating the actions of Bluecorp and how they connected with some deaths and disappearances of over 300 people for the past nineteen years.”
The group was practically floored when they parroted that number back to Daniel. Mia recovered first and said, “Our mother was in the group.”
“You're Mia and Maya Fey, right?” Daniel asked upon seeing the sisters.
Both sisters had nodded before Mia asked, “How come you know about us?”
“Upon seeing you two, your faces reminded me of your mother, Misty Fey,” Daniel replied while looking at both sisters tensely. “She told me I'd find the both of you here.”
Phoenix cut in this time, “Um, before anymore screaming happens, mind if we take this outside?”
“Good idea, Nick, I'm gonna need air after this,” Mia replied, and the gang of five walked outside the courtroom building.
