A/N: It's blatantly obvious I've fallen victim to the working college student trap of fanfiction writing, get so busy with both College and work that I barely have the energy to finish this when I clearly meant to get this done a lot sooner. But this thing is nowhere near dead to me, hell I'm already planning spin-offs of this damn thing, which speaking of spin-offs, I'm gonna make a disclaimer here in regards for a new character.
Disclaimer: from this chapter on to the rest of my rewrites of the games, I will be introducing a new character that will be heavily related to the Dick Wolf Productions, NBC/Universal Franchise Law and Order. Again I make no profit out of either Ace Attorney or Law and Order. Just read and hopefully many of you will find out why Law and Order is in this.
October 16, 2016 9:30 A.M. Detention Center
If Maya Fey hadn't have been so broken over the arrest of Robert Powers, she would've cried harder over the prospect of the new law firm losing their first case. But instead, she was nothing but quiet during the car ride with Phoenix Wright to the detention center. That same quiet had surrounded them while they were waiting for the arrival of their new client.
If Maya could read minds, the surprise on her would be a huge understatement if she ever found out that Phoenix was thinking the same thing. Such a high profile client to take on a recently birthed Law Firm with two still rookie attorneys being senior partners, one screw up would feel like a gun on Phoenix if he didn't get enough adequate information to prove his client didn't kill Bill Hammer.
So entered Robert Powers who was dressed the same way he was on the day of the murder, orange sports jacket and pants set with a white muscle shirt that laid underneath. He carried a handkerchief, which carried the explanation of his eyes becoming red from crying. He started to take his seat across from Phoenix and Maya on the Plexiglas fence that separated both parties as Phoenix began to break the ice.
"Good morning, Mr Powers, I'm Phoenix Wright of Fey and Wright, I understand that you requested our services to represent you in Court tomorrow?"
"I did, Mr. Wright, but I'm surprised that your senior partner is younger than what she looks," Rob replied.
"No that's Maya Fey, Robert," Phoenix had to spell out both names to know the difference. "Mia had to take care of some professional matters and asked me to talk to you in my stead. Don't worry, my partner can catch on to cases pretty quick. By the way, at her age, Maya is a huge fan of your show."
"Wouldn't blame her if she were to be disappointed in me." Robert began to form tears of sadness after thinking about the rest of the fan-base. "After I got the part of the Steel Samurai, I decided I would never show my face in public until the job was over and I could move into bigger projects. I kept myself hidden to not hurt the children. But now I think I've gone so far as to wreck their dreams."
"Listen, I understand that you're a little stressed, Mr. Powers; we've been in your position before." Maya decided to throw away the fan-girl side and get serious on this issue. "But if you want us to help you, you gotta be as truthful as you can when we ask you questions."
Phoenix was beyond floored at Maya's change in demeanor; just yesterday she was enthusiastically yelling at his office TV cheering for the Steel Samurai. Now here she was in her business suit and exhibiting nothing but professionalism towards their client. "Nick, don't you have any questions?" she asked while poking his cheek.
"Oh excuse me, I'm still a little tired," Phoenix replied while letting out a yawn that was surprisingly realistic "Anyway, Mr. Powers, can you tell us what happened during the day of the murder?"
"Well yesterday morning at ten AM, I was doing a scene run through of some action sequences between the Steel Samurai and the Evil Magistrate. Around five in the afternoon, we were supposed to be at Studio 1 for rehearsal, thing was when five PM came around everyone was gathered around the Evil Magistrate who was laying crumpled on the floor and when they took off his mask, he was dead."
"By 'he,' you mean Bill Hammer, right?" Phoenix asked and after Robert nodded he continued "On the day of the murder where were you in particular?"
"From nine AM until Noon, we were doing an action scene run through. Rehearsal was supposed to begin at five that afternoon but I was a little tired and took a nap. When I finally woke up it was a little after five, but I was still late," Robert replied.
"And they arrested you as soon as you arrived I take it?" Phoenix asked. Robert nodded in confirmation. "Well, what we're gonna do is check out the crime scene ourselves to get a look, and we'll talk to some alleged witnesses while we're at it." Phoenix and Maya began to get up before Robert interrupted:
"Wait, aren't you gonna need directions to Global Studios? I can draw you a map if you want."
"No, Mr. Powers, but now that you mention it we at least need both an address to there and a letter of representation to let them know I'm your lawyer," Phoenix replied while taking their seat again and waited for Robert to comply with that request. They would soon leave after both things were done.
October 16th Global Studios Main Gate
Compared to other movie studios in the Los Angeles County area, Global Studios was a tiny studio from a distance, but even then it did bring a majestic feeling that you're in an actual studio that makes television shows. For Maya Fey, she felt a like a kid at Disneyland when she and Phoenix had parked his car at an empty parking slot that was still filled with police cars from the local precinct of Los Angeles. One of them in particular had belonged to Daniel Reagan, the same black Ford Mustang that had been used to rescue Miles Edgeworth during the Bluecorp incident.
"Still can't believe that Edgeworth had agreed to transfer Gumshoe to another precinct after Reagan returned to being a Homicide Detective," Phoenix said to Maya after getting out of his car.
"Well if you remember what he told us, he did use to be a detective for this precinct before the infamous DL-6 Incident," Maya replied while she and Nick began to walk to the Front Gate that was ironically wide open.
"I know, Maya, but I still can't believe it," Nick replied while reaching for his sunglasses "I was hoping that we could use his services as a Private Dick for our law firm because you know getting into crime scenes as a Defense Attorney is technically not allowed here."
"Personally I'm not worried, Nick. I'm sure Daniel knew of us coming here and let the people know about it," Maya replied before being rudely stopped by a person who yelled at them like a bull horn being blared.
"HEY! YOU THERE!" That voice belonged to a woman in her mid-fifties who carried a physique of a bodybuilder in her low-forties in a police uniform, short red hair that cut to her neck with blue eyes that almost looked like ice shards. "You want in, you gotta go through me!"
"See what I mean by lawyers getting into crime scenes, Maya" Phoenix said out loud and was about to explain his business to the lady in front of them until suddenly.
"Oh yeah? Well that's great. I'm security!" the lady said in heavy sarcasm. "And it's my job to make sure that gawkers like you stay OUT."
"Hey who the hell are you calling a gawker!?" Maya exclaimed with annoyance.
"Gawkers! Sightseers! Tourists! I know the type. You heard about the incident and came to snoop around. Youths today! Something horrible happens and all you can think of is sightseeing. Wasting your time at a place like this. Don't you have jobs you should be doing? Or do lawyers not work like the rest of us? Maybe I should become a lawyer too. Sounds like a life of ease to me no work just loafing around all day as you please. Well when I was young things were a mite different, mind you we didn't prance around in strange hippie clothes. What are the youths coming to these days my own son hasn't called in..."
Just then a familiar voice to both Wright and Maya called out "Hey Pennock, think you wanna shut the fuck up and let those two in, I was expecting them to come in like 15 minutes ago!"
Pennock complied with that command after turning her head to see the familiar figure of Daniel Reagan along with a much younger man who appeared to be his partner of the badge.
"Jesus Christ, Linda you sound like an old Chinese restaurant manager screaming at the cook over tainted shrimp," came the remark of Reagan's partner.
"Anyway if you must know, those two people in front of you are part of Robert Powers' legal counsel and they came here to look into the crime," Daniel said while taking an opportunity to shake Maya and Nick's hands.
"Is that so, detective?" Linda asked while still keeping a firm eye on the two. "Do you have any proof of such?"
"Well I was gonna show it to you, until you had to run your mouth like how that guy said." Phoenix was referring to the Detective who made the Chinese restaurant comment. He showed Pennock the letter of representation that Robert wrote earlier.
After taking a few seconds to read it, the woman said, "Yes, yes, I can recognize that handwriting anywhere. Alright Danny, they are your problem now."
"Thank you, Pennock. Now, Maya and Nick, if you'll come with me please," Danny said while taking the lead with his partner and the two lovebirds behind them.
"What the hell is with that lady?" Maya asked after getting a far enough distance from the security station. "You would think she had never seen a show about defense attorneys before."
"Oh I'm sure she has, Maya," Daniel replied while taking out a cigarette, "but I've dealt with people like her before where she is such a cocksucker for uptight authority, kinda like an S&M complex."
"If she were any older, she'd probably be like an old witch eating up those fan boys and girls," came the reply of Danny's partner.
"Yeah right John, like kids these days would be afraid of a Hansel and Gretel witch even if she were to pull off those elements." Danny turned to both Wright and Maya. "By the way, Nick and Maya, I wanna introduce you both to my partner Detective Johnathan Briscoe, newly transferred from the precinct where Gumshoe was moved to."
"Well I know about Maya Fey, your sister has told me a lot about you," John replied while extending his hand out for a handshake to both her and Nick. "And you must be the new partner who was able to help Mia reject a date with the Grim Reaper."
"Well of course," Nick replied while returning the handshake. "But Mia never really did tell me about you."
"Excuse me?" Maya asked in near exclamation. "Mia never told you about her friends, John Briscoe of all people?"
Nick just simply shook his head no before Briscoe cut in ,"Don't let it bother you, Maya, I'm more flattered that he doesn't know about me or my background."
"Huh what do you mean by background?"
"I'm talking about my family's background in the world of law enforcement."
"Well if y'all can save that for another day, I wanna go ahead and get down to the matter at hand on this case," said Danny as the group began to stop at a welcome sign archway with a video camera attachment. In the distance you could see a cartoon looking monkey with its head chopped off to the left, laying on the ground alongside some trees. The statue was holding two signs on both hands: Studio Two on the left and Studio One on the right.
"I swear every time I see that monkey head, it reminds me of the time I had to deal with drunk drivers," said John while looking at the damaged statue.
"I was just thinking the same thing; that did look like drunk driver damage, Detective" Phoenix replied.
"Sadly it wasn't a drunk driver, it was actually the wind's doing," Danny said while digging through his coat pocket for the autopsy report of Bill Hammer to hand to Phoenix. "Be glad that you weren't here when he was discovered. It was enough to actually make you puke."
"Why did you have to arrest, Mr. Powers yesterday?" Phoenix asked after getting the report in his hands.
"Murder took place at Studio One, which you can see ahead, around 1:00 PM," John replied while pointing to said studios path "Around that time, there was no one else in the studio but Bill Hammer."
"Autopsy is saying that time of death was 2:30 PM, right?" Nick asked while reading the autopsy report.
"Yeah, and apparently only one person was in the studio between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM," Briscoe took time to reply. "But personally from the start of this investigation, I've been smelling a rat but I can't put my finger on it."
"Why have you been smelling a rat, John?" Maya asked after taking a look around the studio.
"Well Ms. Pennock, that Security Lady, gave us a picture from the Studio's security camera which depicted a picture of the Steel Samurai. Problem is we honestly don't know if it was Powers or not," Briscoe produced the photo of the Steel Samurai from his pocket "I mean look at that, Maya, this does not look conclusive."
Upon closer look of that photo, it turned out that Briscoe was right about it not being conclusive. The Steel Samurai was just kneeling on one leg, with his weapon in hand, in almost near prayer to a gravestone. "Just how is this Robert Powers?" Maya asked.
"Exactly, Maya, even this type of evidence ain't gonna be much to point Rob as the murderer," said Daniel while noticing Phoenix's rising curiosity.
"Speaking of which, Detectives, it just occurred to me that both of you are giving us evidence that should've been exclusive for the Prosecutors. Isn't that against the rules?"
"It is, but when we told Edgeworth about you getting on this case, he gave us permission to work with you. Why? He never did give us an answer." John replied while giving the photo to Wright so he could put it in his smartphone.
"Now did the photo actually come from this camera?" Maya asked while pointing at the camera hanging left of the welcome sign.
"Camera label is ST1-307," Briscoe replied " In order to look for past photos that the camera recorded, you gotta type the label on the computer, and you can fill in the rest of the blanks."
Danny in particular was looking at his watch to check the time before turning to Maya and Phoenix. "Anyway the evidence we found so far will be used in tomorrow's trial but feel free to look around if we missed anything."
"Now that you mention it, John, we do need to ask the employees some questions and maybe find some possible witnesses who might have a different story," Phoenix said before asking "Are there any rooms that we're not allowed going into?"
It was Danny who replied this time "Well obviously, the Studio Two path is blocked right now and will be difficult to get around, but everywhere else is free reign. The only thing you have to know, fellas, is that Studio One is locked so you may have to ask around for a card key in order to see the crime scene."
"And what are you guys gonna do?" Maya asked, taking notice of the detectives leaving.
"We gotta talk to some former employees of Mr. Hammer, see if there was anything suspicious going on here, but we'll be seeing y'all tomorrow for the trial," Daniel replied while taking out another cigarette.
"Well, in that case, here's hoping that we don't screw up," Phoenix said after motioning for a cigarette.
"You and us, both I'd hate to see an innocent man be killed. But Maya say hello to your sister for me, and we'll be seeing you tomorrow," said John while shaking both her and Phoenix's hand. The two detectives went to leave Global Studios.
"I didn't know you started smoking, Nick" Maya stated after Briscoe and Reagan got to far enough of a distance.
"Usually I don't, unless I'm under extreme stress and that's what I'm feeling right now," Phoenix took a light drag during that statement. "So which way do you think we should go first?"
"Well the employee area here, on this map, might be a good place to ask for the key-card and ask questions while we're at it."
"Alright, after you," Phoenix said as the pair began to take off for the Employee Area.
October 16 Fey and Co. Law Offices
Meanwhile, Mia had been busy with showing her future former building of Fey and Co. Law Offices to a woman fifteen years her senior. The building was just a bare bone shell of what it formerly was and ironically she couldn't even remember the spots where her stuff had been put at.
"Obviously I can't promise that this building can be used as a home, but this building can be of good use for some small upstart businesses or if anyone wants to use this for commission-based businesses, that's fine too."
Mia and the estate agent who went by the name of Marissa Hamilton, were in the back of what used to be Mia's old office. While the ladies were discussing the floor layouts between the front side and back side, both ladies were slightly mesmerized by how unintentionally sexy each lady looked. Marissa, in particular, was Texican by both Heritage and skin tone with raven-black hair and aqua blue eyes. Her usual attire was a white suit and skirt combination that beautifully accentuated said tan skin.
"Ironically that's what I was here for. My boss is looking to expand on his company this year and saw that this place was for sale and said I could buy it as part of my promotion. We're looking to add more houses to this list."
"I guess since the Gatewater Hotel is right next door to us, he might use the hotel for parties and gatherings," Mia replied while noting the suite window next door.
What Marissa began to notice, when Mia talked about the hotel, was how she carried a form of depression in her voice, as if that hotel carried a piece of a deadly nightmare that Mia Fey had suffered. To some people it was probably nothing but a strange burst of emotion, like crying for no reason whatsoever. But along with Marissa being a real estate agent, she had been making some college studies on analytical psychology, and Mia Fey was unknowingly being a guinea pig right now.
"I couldn't help but notice something about your statement earlier, Ms. Fey," Marissa began to speak.
"Huh? what do you mean?" Mia replied, looking away from the window.
"While talking about the Gatewater Hotel, you were displaying a light form of sadness in your voice, as if you were hiding something." Marissa took Mia to an empty corner away from the window. "If you need to talk, I'm listening."
Like floodgates being opened, Mia opened up about everything, not just about the recent Bluecorp incident. She told this lady about losing both her mother and father in practically the same year, the family feud that her mother and aunt had, prior to her mother's disappearance after the DL-6 Incident. She told her of her studies to become an attorney to bring the Fey family out of shame, hoping it would bring her mother back, but instead it almost killed her when she started to go after Bluecorp, the same company that caused said disappearance. She finally finished with how she got accused of murdering her old mentor Samuel Rosenberg and her eventual proving of innocence thanks to her now partner, Phoenix Wright.
"After the Bluecorp incident, when I finally had time to be alone, I talked with Rosenberg through the ways of my clan and began to realize that there was something hidden about myself, and I almost died not knowing it."
While listening through the entire conversation with intense interest, Marissa finally spoke up "What exactly about yourself did you hide?"
"As soon as I joined the Rosenberg Law Offices, I lost my first case due to my client being poisoned, the only person who was able to offer me comfort, eventually became my boyfriend and he died within a year of our relationship." Mia had since formed tears during the telling of her story. "But prior to that relationship, I had a crush with one of my law school classmates, and she was female."
"So is that what you were hiding about yourself?" Marissa asked while turning Mia's head to look her in the eyes. "Honey, there's nothing wrong with being bisexual. I'm happily married to my husband but I'm also bisexual as well."
"How long have you been married?" Mia asked after accepting some tissues from Marissa to wipe her face from the makeup that mixed with the tears on her face.
"Been fifteen years since I married, and believe it or not, our marriage was made strong by my bisexuality because he allowed me to act on my lesbian side." Marissa then leaned forward to Mia's right ear and whispered, "And right now, a beautiful girl like you needs help, you got to succumb to this desire or it'll wreck your soul to the point of feeling like you're already dead."
This gave Mia a light surprise; this woman, who was still a stranger to her, was revealing a side to herself that still had an extreme taboo to a good majority of people. A majority that was luckily starting to decrease year after year. But here was this lady, old enough to be her mother, who not only outted herself, but was willing to help explore her hidden sexuality. Already she knew that there was no sense in denying it anymore, the Bluecorp incident made her realize that. So she met Marissa halfway and they kissed each other for five minutes, then shuttered the window blinds and locked the front door as she gave into this passion, a passion that ultimately felt like a warm waterfall cascading her body.
October 16 Global Studios Studio One
A crime scene that is barren of police officers and detectives with only the body tape still existent can be a very haunting experience to anyone, even if you are an attorney. Having found no people in the employee area, Maya by fan impulse had found Robert Powers' dressing room unlocked, so she and Phoenix began to look into said room to check their client's alibi about sleeping. So far the only thing to confirm that alibi was a messed up bed and nothing else. They did, however, find a key-card sticking out of Powers' brown bag and proceeded to borrow it.
They had just entered the crime scene at that point, and you could tell that the mood dropped like a single pin falling down. The mood wasn't much better either, because Phoenix at that point looked at his girlfriend wearing a face that would be perfect for a funeral, and he didn't blame her for that.
"You've gotten quiet all of a sudden, honey," he decided to break the ice.
"Doesn't it give you the shivers, Nick?" Maya asked while displaying said reaction. "Me seeing this white tape, it's making me sink in that a human being is dead and has no way of coming back."
"Even with the spirit medium training, you never really do bring the dead back, do you?"
"No, we can't. I cannot tell you how many people will cry even with the brief reunion of the dead, they still want it to last forever and we can't do anything about it." Tears began to stream down Maya's face and Phoenix proceeded to comfort her by gently wrapping her in a hug as she cried onto his chest.
"It probably pains you knowing that you can't even talk to Bill Hammer from the dead can you?" Phoenix asked in a low tone and gently rubbed her back as a form of comfort.
"No I can't, Nick, and that's why I'm sad right now."
"Don't worry, soon as we find the person who really did this. I'm sure you'll have time to continue your studies and become a full-fledged Medium in no time." He lifted her head from his chest to give a comforting smile and proceeded to wipe the tears from her eyes, before he gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a kiss that said everything was going to be okay.
In midst of the kiss, Phoenix's eye caught a figure lurking in the shadows at the far-right corner of the studio. It was running away upon being caught by Phoenix as he broke the kiss abruptly.
"What is it, Nick?" Maya asked softly before Phoenix put two fingers on her lips.
"Shh...shh...be quiet and stay right where you are," he proceeded to take out the gun hidden in his inner coat pocket, a Bereta 4.5mm handgun. After the Bluecorp Incident, it was unanimously agreed by Mia, Maya, and Phoenix to apply for a handgun permit and not until now had any party had reason to actually take it out and use it. But anything was possible in the criminal justice system and everyone was fair game, even defense attorneys.
Upon searching for the figure in the shadows, at the direction of the studio, he eventually came across a girl. She had brown hair, eyes of the same color, with rounded glasses, blue and white striped shirt, brown vest, and regular blue jeans and tennis shoes. To Phoenix, she looked harmless enough but very frightened, that he immediately put the gun back in his coat and offered a gentle hand to her.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, ma'am, we thought you were someone else"
The lady accepted his hand. "Who are you exactly?"
"I'm Phoenix Wright, I'm representing Robert Powers on the murder case." They walked over to Maya, who didn't move from her spot. "And this is my assistant, Maya Fey, and as you can also see, she is also my girlfriend."
"I'm Sophia Nichols, production assistant for the Steel Samurai show." Sophia offered her hand to Maya as the latter shook it.
"Production assistant huh?" Phoenix became intrigued "What exactly do you do, here?"
"I help with the props and food, moving them around, and ordering new ones," Sophia replied before glaring at him. "I'm not gonna lie, I don't envy you guys one single bit, but...do what you can for Rob okay?"
"Why exactly are you on his side even though you don't like us?" Maya asked clearly not appreciating Sophie's last comment.
"Because I know, Robert, despite him wearing the Steel Samurai costume, he's a very nice guy and wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Look, Ms. Nichols, we're not gonna bother you too much we just need to ask some questions for our end of the trial," Phoenix proceeded to take his smart phone out and access the voice recorder app "For starters, we at least wanna know what you were doing during the day of the murder."
"Well as the only assistant on staff, I was in the studio the whole day, taking care of the props."
"The only one!?" Maya asked clearly not hiding the shock.
"Yes ma'am, Global Studios here hasn't been doing very well lately despite having successes with the Steel Samurai. Yesterday all we were doing was rehearsals for an episode."
"What kind of rehearsals?" Phoenix asked.
"That morning, we were doing a run through of action sequences in the employee area. Robert and Bill were there with everyone else."
"That same employee area was where Powers' dressing room was?"
Sophia nodded and continued, "After a lunch break, Mr. Hammer went to studio one. At that same time Robert was going into his dressing room. After that I saw neither of them."
"Now from what Mr. Powers had told us when we were talking to him, he was sleeping at his room around the time the murder had occurred. As there any way you can confirm that?" Maya asked.
Sophie shook her head in sadness. "No, I was too busy with taking care of props around that time. Matter of fact I was over here around that time preparing for an action scene run-through."
"Well, by off-chance, was anyone else with you in the studio, like maybe you heard some fellow employees in the distance?" Phoenix asked and immediately caught a glimmer of hope when Sophie began to ponder that question.
"Now that you mention it." Sophia was still a little pensive "I don't know if this will help you or not, but I did have an uneasy feeling about someone being here."
"Like you were sensing someone?" Maya asked.
"Like I said, I was the only assistant here during the day of the murder and we were supposed to do a run through for an action scene, but before that I had this feeling that someone was here."
"Wait a minute," Nick began to realize something as he took out the studio map "Judging from the layout of this studio and this map, if someone were to come over here, that security lady would've noticed them."
Taking a quick look at said map, Maya nodded her head in agreement, the pair gave Sophia her thanks as they left the studio to talk with Ms. Pennock, the security lady.
October 16 Global Studios Main Gate
Prior to getting the card key at the dressing room, any conversation that Phoenix and Maya had with Linda Pennock remained that she thought Robert Powers committed the crime and could not be deterred from that opinion. Right now they were back into the security station about to talk to Pennock clearly wearing a look of distrust.
"What? I saw that suspicious look on your face!"
"We came here to talk to you about yesterday. You were here around one PM, correct?" Phoenix asked with a glare on his face.
"Yes, what of it?"
"The estimated time of Hammer's death was 2:30, and Powers was the only one to go through here between those times?" His voice became angrier with every word
"Sure as can be!"
"Well earlier, we talked with someone who thinks someone else was there at Studio One that day," Maya cut in with equal the anger. "Are you sure with absolution that you were here watching this whole time?"
For approximately 4 minutes, the red haired security guard stood silent, until out of the blue she asked ,"Who was it?"
"Excuse me?" Phoenix wore a light shock
"Who dares question the work I do around this fucking dump!?" Linda began to pull something out of her belt buckle. "You got 5 seconds to answer or I spray you with pepper!"
"You wanna be arrested for assault!?" Maya screamed fiercely, ignoring the spray can.
"Someone's complaining about the work I do, and they're gonna pay for it!"
"Alright, Pennock, if you wanna know so badly, why not ask the assistant in Studio One!" Phoenix was unfazed by the pepper spray.
In a fit of rage, Pennock had ran for Studio One. Phoenix and Maya had a pretty damn good feeling that Sophia Nichols would be getting an earful of yelling from her, but hopefully not an eyeful of pepper-spray.
"Well, if nothing else, I think we can finally check on that computer, Maya" Phoenix began to make his way to the back door of the security console
"Why do we need to do that?"
"Because while looking at the photo with Reagan and Briscoe, the photo they gave us had a number two on the time stamp. I wanna make sure if there were any additional photos."
"Well I do see that point, but my question is, do you at least remember the camera code?"
"No, the time stamp didn't say, but maybe you can go over and look for it for me and I'll buy you at the usual burger joint."
*****

Didn't take but five minutes for Maya to scurry over to the welcome sign where the security camera was hanging to find the code and snap it on her own phone. But once it was done, Phoenix typed up the code that was on the camera, and it began to search the database from yesterday.
"Apparently Photo #2 is the only thing showing on this computer," Phoenix said after finding no more pictures in the database.
"Are you serious, Nick?"
"She's hiding something from us. When we cross-examine her tomorrow, I'm gonna squeeze it out of her, even if I have to peg her as the suspect."
"With a body like hers, she could probably wear that suit with no problem." Maya gave a light chuckle.
"Let alone her winning some sort of body building contest in San Francisco." They later agreed to call Mia and invite her over for lunch. They would eventually learn that Mia had closed the deal on the old Fey and Co. Building.
Endnote: For those who didn't read the Author's Update I did prior to Chapter 6, in wanting to keep a dark tone with the series, I made some name changes to the characters of Turnabout Samurai, the name changes for this chapter are as followed:
Will Powers= Robert Powers
Jack Hammer= Bill Hammer
Wendy Oldbag= Linda Pennock
Penny Nichols= Sophia Nichols
Also many of you noticed that Dick Gumshoe is missing in this chapter, I'm sorry to say but he will not be part of my remake and Daniel Reagan will be the main detective from this chapter on alongside his new partner. I apologize for any disappointment on the part of the Gumshoe fans.
