A/N believe me when I say this, I meant to get this done a lot sooner but my college workload got very heavy, combine that with me working til midnight sometimes I could never find the energy to finish this. I literally didn't get this finished until I completed my final exams but now that I have some time this summer I'm gonna put in a lot of effort to get this story arc finished combined with Turnabout Goodbye and Rise From the Ashes. Above all else, I wish to thank everyone for having the patience of waiting and hopefully the wait for the next chapter won't be long this time.

October 18 The Law Offices of Fey and Wright
The trio of Phoenix, Mia, and Maya knew full well that it was not a good time to rest, but there they were inside their new building at Mia's insistence.
"Sis, it isn't like you to come in and start to relax." Maya wasn't angry but she was concerned about her sister having a change of behavior.
"Whoever said anything about us relaxing? The reason why we're in this office is to get my briefcase which you forgot to take this morning...and second, Maya, I'm gonna need you to stay here."
Phoenix heard that and got confused. "Why does she need to stay here, Chief?"
"I may have a plan to widen our chances of a victory and it relies mostly on Maya and her computer skills." Mia took the opportunity to boot up her computer and motioned her sister to sit down on the office chair.
"Wait, Maya, you know how to run a computer?" Phoenix asked while she took that seat.
"Of course, Nick, our schools at the Kurain Mountains were actually about to add some computer classes when Sis left to become an attorney. You'd be surprised to know that I was able to graduate high school at the age of fifteen."
"Mia, how long have WE known each other? Surely you would've told me everything by now." Phoenix had to chuckle at the beginning to laugh off the surprise.
"You'll get your chance on that eventually, Nick, but for right now we need to focus on the matter at hand and remember the two people mentioned at the trial." Suddenly Maya began to realize why her sister needed her at the computer.
"You want me to research on the producer and director?"
"The names were Joan Varnello and Wesley Norell, producer and directing team behind the Steel Samurai." Repeating the names gave Nick a sense of déjà vu. "It strikes me as odd that both those names sound very familiar."
"Can't say I blame you, Nick," Mia replied and noticed computer already loaded. "I've been so busy with work that both those names escape me, which is why, Maya, I need you to find out what you can about Varnello and Norell and let us know if anything comes up."
October 18, 2:16 PM Global Studios Path
They had already talked to Robert Powers at the Detention Center and he told both of them what wasn't already told: him sleeping at his dressing room and not taking one step closer to Studio One. He wasn't even made aware of the fan-boy that snuck around the studios, alleging that Linda Pennock always had a way to chase those people away.
Speaking of Pennock, Phoenix turned to Mia "From what I understand, the police had to take Ms. Pennock in for questioning right, Mia?"
"Yeah, Nick, I'm already having the visual of Briscoe doing his interrogation work right now." Mia wore an amused smile at that point. "Like how his famous grandfather used to do."
That got Nick's attention. "Speaking of Briscoe, from what I was told yesterday, apparently he knew you."
She nodded slightly while they made their trip. "He used to be a detective at this precinct; I met him a few years ago when I first started working for Samuel Rosenburg."
"So you're that old of friends with him?"
"You can say that and much more." Mia noticed how Phoenix was looking as curious as an eight-year-old boy. "What I can tell you is that we kept our beds warm for a few years."
Phoenix couldn't believe it. "Yeah right, Mia Fey, greatest sex friend on the planet."
Mia smirked a little bit. "Hey you may not believe it, but both John and I have some video evidence saved. We can show you the proof if you want."
They stopped at the welcome sign. The monkey head was still lobbed off and the tree branches were on the ground. At that point Phoenix had crossed his trigger fingers like the Cross of Jesus Christ. "I don't wanna know that, Chief, I'm just saying I don't see you having sex without love involved, that's all."
Mia started laughing. "My dear little student, you put me in too much high of a standard." Upon calming down from that laugh she looked at the direction of the monkey head. "I'm willing to bet that the producers might be down that path."
"Wait...you seriously don't think anyone would find a way past that tree do you?"
"Tell me you're not gonna need glasses," Mia said while walking towards that tree, "because clearly you were not able to see the path that wasn't blocked by the tree."
Sure enough, Phoenix began to notice a little path that was still open on the sidewalk near the blue bench and security camera. The path was so open wide that it didn't have an effect on Mia's stockings that she was wearing with her signature black suit. Seeing no further room for argument, Phoenix himself crossed that path and followed Mia's lead to Studio Two.
October 18 Global Studios Employee Area
"So let me get this straight, John Briscoe's grandfather was a homicide detective in New York City?" while during their walk to the employee area, Mia was telling Phoenix about the detectives family back-story. His grandfather was heavily mentioned in the conversation and how he was a high profile detective back in the day.
"From what I heard from him and the other cops in this district, he was if not one of the best of New York's finest and was actually fundamental in cracking down a lot of high profile cases in New York," Mia replied. Phoenix opened the front door and let her in first.
"A guy like that, I would at least have a tinge of jealousy," Phoenix followed her. "But then again, I'm the first one in my family to go after this type of job."
"No, quite the opposite, Phoenix. He wasn't jealous at all...inspired would be the word." Just then she caught a female figure in a camo vest kneeling at a square drain-hole.
"Hey, Sophia!" Phoenix called out to get her attention. Sophia stood up to look at the voice.
"Oh it's you, Wright."She immediately recognized his blue suit. "Who are you?" Sophia asked when she looked at Mia.
Mia offered her a gentle smile and a handshake. "I'm the real senior partner, Mia Fey, Maya's older sister, and I must say you look very lovely."
Sophia wore a light blush on her face but quickly recovered by changing the subject. "I've heard about the trial, great job, guys."
"To be honest with you, we're not patting our backs just yet. We still have work to do," Phoenix said hoping to tone down the excitement.
"But wasn't Linda Pennock taken into custody?" Sophia asked and didn't hide the confusion on her face. "I just got off the phone with her like ten minutes ago."
"Yeah, but that was mostly because she was being in contempt of court. It wouldn't surprise me if she were to be bailed out in a few hours," Mia took notice of the cardboard box heavily layered with masking tape covering the drain-hole. "Guess Pennock told you to cover that drain hole?"
Sophia couldn't help but feel embarrassed over her work. "Some assistant I am, I can't even fix a broken spear."
Mia tried her best to be comforting. "Don't you at least have other people that can help you with this?"
Sophia nodded slowly. "Of course, but the real expert on this job has been out sick this past month." She couldn't help but let out a heavy breath from her lungs. "I'm surprised they haven't fired me yet, most of the time I try to fix things around here like props and backdrops, they tend to look worse than before."
"Sophie, where I come from," Phoenix cut in by gently putting his hands on her shoulders and using a gentle tone of voice, "failure isn't failure if a lesson is learned from it. The way I see it there is always room to improve one's self at any job."
"He's right, Sophie, accidents happen and you always learn from them." Mia shared the same tone of voice that Phoenix used. Stuck with inspiration, she continued "Now, you may not have heard about this, but yesterday at our trial word was going around that a fan-boy was sneaking around here."
Sophie nodded. "That is true. It's the main reason why Pennock called me to seal that drain hole up."
Phoenix quickly caught on to Mia's thinking. "Well if by chance that the same kid mentioned in this trial shows up again, we're gonna need him over here."
"You're asking me to take this cover off?"
Mia was quick to soothe her. "I know we're asking you to do something that could get you fired, but in order to help Robert Powers we need to talk to that kid." She already knew that didn't do much to help the assistant so she reached for the wallet in her purse. "I'll make you a deal: if you help us and you get fired, we'll give you a job at our law firm."
To confirm that promise, Mia gave Sophia a white card that showed their office address and phone number, the card itself laid over ten one-hundred dollar bills. To Sophie that was more than what she would make in two months alone. No longer bothered by guilt, she took out a box cutter hidden in her back pants pocket and the drain was opened up the same way as when Maya and Phoenix first visited the studio.
"Just make sure this conversation goes out to nobody at least," Sophie said after completing that task. "I gotta fill in for Pennock at the security station, if you'll excuse me."
"No problem, Sophie, our lips are sealed," Phoenix said. He and Mia split up to make a path for Sophie to exit the employee area.
Upon her leaving the building and it was no one but Fey and Wright. "What use would she seriously be at our office, Chief?"
"What Maya is doing at our office right now. Could give Maya more time to train on her being a Spirit Medium."
"I don't know about that. She's probably more excited at investigating murders with me, and probably more calculating than both of us." The Bluecorp incident was still fresh on his mind and how Maya's thinking easily got Mia ruled out a suspect in Rosenburg's murder.
"Who do you think she learned it from?" Mia replied with a smirk while turning to the dressing room door. "Think we can check Robert's dressing room?"
"Yeah, I figured you wanted to see that," Phoenix said not wasting time in going to the dressing room door. "In the meantime, maybe you can tell me more about you and John Briscoe?"
October 18 Global Studios Dressing Room of Robert Powers
"So you were called to defend Briscoe over the murder of two high school football players?" Nick just got done hearing the back-story of Mia meeting John Briscoe and how he got accused of murdering two football players who were earlier acquitted in the rape of a high school student.
"Not five months after I got you out of your trial, you wanna talk about that case almost starting Civil War 2," Mia replied while taking in the environment of Robert Powers' dressing room. "I only had one partner outside of Rosenburg that was willing to help me with this case."
"From what I read about that case in the papers, Chief, the lead detective in that case was Bruce Goodman..." Suddenly it hit Phoenix. "Detective Goodman was the one who helped you, wasn't he?"
Mia nodded her head but before she could explain any further, her cell phone rang. She read her caller ID, then answered, turning on speakerphone "Hey, Sis, what's up?"
"Hey, I just found some info on our producer," Maya did not waste time in replying. "Turns out she's associated with some dirty scum."
"Just give me the basics, Maya, I don't want to throw every detail about her in court if it isn't necessary."
Maya complied with her sister's request as she explained how Steel Samurai producer Joan Varnello had been part of Global Studios since 2004, thanks in large part to a hostile takeover of the studios that was handled by a trucking and transportation company in the city.
"The big kicker of this company, her father, had numerous indictments for racketeering, money laundering and drug charges with no convictions," Maya said and left no room for questions as she continued. "Although, he finally did get a conviction for a murder of one of his associates, turned out that associate was stealing money from Joan's father and it left that man dead as a result."
Phoenix cut in, "So Joan Varnello is a member of a crime family?"
Maya replied, "Eldest daughter to be exact and apparently a very loyal one. She had over eight years of criminal charges herself with no convictions."
"Probably the same type of charges that the trucking company had," Mia stated. "Whatever the case may be, I think it's best that we don't talk to her about it if we find her."
"Well with that said, I do also have some info on our director, Wesley Norell," Maya replied through the clicking of her mouse. "Let's just say he even makes Ed Wood a genius."
Phoenix got confused at the name. "Ed who?"
Mia replied this time. "Ed Wood, B-Movie director who caused controversy in the fifties for directing an LGBT film. The controversy was so horrible that he was practically blacklisted in Hollywood at that time."
"Well, Norell in particular got his start in directing nothing but straight to video and DVD movies, mostly just ones for babies." Then the juicy stuff came out. "About eight years prior to him joining Global Studios, he was arrested on pedophilia and child porn charges. Sex offender status still runs in his record today."
"So we got a woman tied to the mob," Phoenix replied, "and a pedophile director?"
"Think what you want about it, Phoenix, but I still don't want to use this information in court," Mia turned to her phone. "Sis, we'll keep you posted, in the meantime go ahead and continue your training."
"Okay, Mommy," Maya said jokingly before hanging up her line.
Mia let out a chuckle of her own then put the phone in her coat pocket. "Well let's go ahead and look at the crime scene."
"Chief, you barely took a look at our client's dressing room." Phoenix had kept his eyes on Mia during the call. She barely even made eye contact at Powers' ruffled blankets.
She couldn't help but be defensive. "I did too, my eyes were mostly focused on the bed." She pointed her finger to the still messed up bed. "And the way I see it, his alibi does check out but we need to find a way to prove it."
"Well for all our sakes, let's just hope that kid shows up," Nick replied while they began to make their exit from the room.
October 18 Global Studios Main Gate
From the looks of things, there were no other people for Phoenix and Mia to talk to at the moment and they were leaning towards going back to Mia's car. Unknowingly to both of them, Sophie had already set up her shop to temporarily take over Linda Pennock's post, and looking somewhat different in the process. Sure she still had her regular clothes, only difference was that she had a black Kevlar vest overlay her white and gray stripe shirt.
"Afraid you'll get a bullet in you, Sophie?" Mia asked as the pair approached that station.
"Actually this belongs to Pennock You won't believe how this actually fits me despite our size difference," said Sophia who this time wasn't startled by their presence.
Phoenix decided to cut in "I forgot to ask you this yesterday, how are the studios doing?"
Like a dam bursting, Sophia replied, "There's police wandering around everywhere. It's highly terrible."
"Why do you think it's terrible?" Mia asked
"I'm a compulsive neat freak who can't stand leaving things dirty and the police won't let me clean up the lunch plates from the day of the murder."
Just then a voice cut in, "It's standard procedure, kid, we can't let anyone touch a crime scene until everything is all clear."
Standing behind Phoenix and Mia was one Johnathan Briscoe and on impulse Mia turned around to give the detective a big hug. It didn't fill the two year void since they last saw each other but both parties didn't care either way. "Oh my darling, Briscoe, I almost thought I would never see you again."
"The feeling is mutual, sweetheart, I guess I should thank your errand boy for saving your pretty ass." That earned him a light jab on the shoulder followed by an 'Oh you.'
"Who the hell you calling an errand boy, you man slut? Last I checked you weren't the one who barged in our old office to save her." Phoenix made no effort to hide being insulted.
"Relax, kid, it's a detective's joke." Briscoe decided to cut to the chase, "Anyway I come here because like you I need to talk to both Wesley Norell and Joan Varnello." He turned to Sophia. "But since you're here, mind if I ask some questions? She gave a nod to the detective as he continued, "From what Ms. Pennock told us, kids sneak in at the studio often, right?"
"Well..." Sophie had to think her answer through. "I honestly don't think there's that many of them, but I do see one in particular a bunch. He keeps running around the sets and snaps a lot of pictures."
"Probably gets Ms. Pennock's blood boiling when she sees him, huh?" Phoenix joined in the conversation.
"Oh you should see her eyes flash when she sees him, although she does have trouble catching him."
"With a build like hers, she's probably as slow as a boulder," John mumbled mostly to Mia. "Now in terms of Norell and Varnello, were you able to see them the other day?"
"Oh, sorry..." she said after shaking her head "I was in the prop storage room, so I didn't see them. It wouldn't surprise me none if they were here that day."
Mia cut in, "From what we hear, Varnello has been ruling this place with an iron fist, has she?"
"Maybe so, but she saved these studios from the brink of disaster and kept them running. I wouldn't have a job if it weren't for her."
"Do you know exactly where we can find Mr. Norell?" Briscoe was hoping it would be the last question.
"From what I heard, he's supposed to be in a meeting with Varnello at the studio today, but he does have an office in the employee area."
With that Briscoe gave her his thanks and the trio left for the employee area. While traveling to their destination Briscoe said "Poor kid, probably hasn't even scratched the surface yet when learning about the realities of life."
Mia couldn't help but agree. "She probably doesn't even know that she's working for a mafia daughter."
Phoenix added his two cents, "I think she does know and is doing a good job at keeping quiet."
They were about to enter the employee area when John said, "I hope you're right, Phoenix, I hate to see another person die over this."
October 18 Global Studios Employee Area
"We never got a chance to look at pictures, Briscoe, any idea what Wesley are we looking for?" Mia asked as they entered the area.
John dug out his smartphone to access the pictures app. "Don't worry, Mia, I got you covered because Danny and I did research of our own last night." Upon finding Norrell's picture he gave the phone to her. "He looks every bit the pedophile and yet so ugly could even make the fanciest gay man puke."
Sure enough the subject on the phone, Wesley Norell, had a very oily face full of pimples with big square glasses. He wore a dark purple long sleeved shirt, sleeves rolled up and covered the entire neckline; it laid on top a light blue unbuttoned up shirt and a white sweat towel was hung over his shoulders. He wore pants of the same color with white shoes and he had a blue and white Steel Samurai ball cap.
Phoenix cut in, "I imagine you got gays in your force?"
"Just one in our squad," Briscoe replied. "Gave an automatic 'no' once we showed him the picture." suddenly they saw a man walk into Robert Powers' dressing room and Briscoe automatically recognized him.
"It's Wesley Norell...so, Mia, you wanna talk to him or do you want me to?" Briscoe asked as they walked towards the dressing room.
"Well remember, John, we have a Mafia daughter to talk to. I'll save you for her."
"Fine by me, but if he brings up his pedophile charges I'm taking over."
"Excuse me, is your name Wesley Norell?" Mia said as the trio entered the dressing room.
Norell turned his head to her voice "Yes, can I help you?"
"I'm Mia Fey of Fey and Wright, and this man beside me is Detective John Briscoe of the LAPD. A few things have turned up on the case and we wish to talk to you about it."
"I gave you my statement yesterday, Detective. I was told that I didn't need to testify yesterday." Norell began to sweat profusely.
Briscoe cut in, "Change of plans. Edgeworth has agreed to call you on the stand tomorrow, but Mia would like to hear your side of it personally. Or if you want we can take this to the precinct, and I'm gonna warn you, I'm not a very nice guy to talk to."
Norell got on the defensive. "I was gonna talk to her anyway, I swear, there's no need to get violent."
John replied with a smirk, "Good answer, now how about we take a seat, and you can tell her where you were yesterday afternoon."
The trio and Norell took a seat at Robert Powers table as the director began to re-tell his alibi. "It was a pretty regular day, we had a run through for an action scene in the morning. Around lunchtime we had a meeting in the Studio Two trailer and we couldn't tend to lunch."
"This meeting wouldn't involve some network bigwigs, would it?" Mia asked while listening with pure intent. "And your producer was there with you, correct?"
It caught Norell's attention then began to give an ugly drooling face "You mean Joan Varnello? She's a genius, but she can also be very scary."
The trio had a good idea on why Varnello was a genius.
Norell replied, "She brought Global Studios back from the brink of destruction by making it possible for me to make the Steel Samurai, she was in the meeting with me from noon to four PM the whole time."
Mia finally asked, "I wish to speak with Ms. Varnello personally. Do you know where we can find her?"
"Oh…well." He had to think his answer. 'Guess it probably wouldn't hurt to tell them' he muttered to himself "She sent me from Studio Two to find a script for the next episode, I'm very certain she's still there."
With that said Mia, John and Phoenix got up from the stools to make their exit from the dressing room, but not without giving Norell a thank you from Mia Fey.
October 18 Global Studios Main Gate
They originally made their way to studio two and out of nowhere walked into a door being slammed and being locked at the trailer. A discussion went on about the increasing suspicion of Joan Varnello and her role in the crime, but if you were a homicide detective conducting an investigation that involves a Mafia daughter, you'd be suspicious too. Thanks to a suggestion by Phoenix, the trio agreed to look for a key at the security guard station.
But making their way to their destination, they ran into, as Briscoe would call her, the fifty-five-year-old bottle of sunshine. And needless to say, she was really happy, especially to Phoenix.
About five minutes of ranting to the blue suit attorney accusing him of making her wear the Steel Samurai suit, Briscoe tapped her on the shoulder. "Madam, we weren't making you wear the costume earlier, both me and my partner actually had to talk to you about a kid you kept chasing after prior to Hammer's death."
Pennock really raised her voice at that point, "As for you detective, for siding with these two whippersnappers, I'm now invoking my right to remain silent...AND IF I SEE THAT KID AGAIN I'M TAKING HIM DOWN."
John slowly rubbed his hand down his face as he said, "Ms. Pennock, you were ruled out a suspect, you don't have to be quiet."
Pennock couldn't help but be snarky, "Oh, so even you admit Mr. Powers committed the crime?"
Phoenix shot back, "Pennock, will you cut it out with this bullshit, we need to talk to a person in particular and find out what she knows about Bill Hammer's murder. The reason why we're here is because she locked the door to Studio Two and we need a key to talk to her."
Mia added her final nail to the coffin, "As far as us is concerned, if you want to be silent that's okay but we need that key."
Leaving no room for argument, Pennock had walked over to her station, pulled out the key to the Studio Two trailer and personally handed it to Briscoe. "Because I trust you will be able to give it back to me."
"I always appreciate a uniform who kisses my ass," John quipped as he took the key from her hand and led the way to Studio Two.
October 18 Studio Two Trailer
"If it's alright with you, John, I want to try and talk to Varnello myself," Phoenix suggested as the trio began to make their way to the trailer.
"Trust me, kid, you're better off letting me talk to her," Briscoe replied as he dug for the key in his jacket "She and I go way, way back so I do know how to talk to her."
Mia put her two cents in, "Briscoe is right. A woman like Varnello, or any other person in organized crime, would require a tough cop in this situation."
Leaving no more room for argument, Briscoe found the trailer key, unlocked the door, and turned the knob. Inside the Studio Two trailer it mostly contained a fold-able wooden table and aluminum folding chairs with blue cushions. The wall contained posters of old movies, most of them involving the late Bill Hammer, two of those posters were covered by a white board that detailed blueprints of sets for the Steel Samurai. Sitting in one of those chairs in her black dress and fancy cigarette holder was one Joan Varnello.
"Been five years since we crossed paths hasn't it, Joan?" Briscoe broke the ice as the trio walked inside.
"Briscoe." Varnello carried an icy tone in her voice, laced heavy in Italian. "I could never forget such a pretty face, especially one as ugly as yours."
"You're not the first bitch to say that to me," Briscoe said as he took a seat. "From what I've been hearing, Pennock has alleged at the trial today that you were hiding something from us."
But while John was talking, Varnello had blocked him out and kept smoking her pipe "Can this wait until later, I've been waiting on Wesley to give me a script."
But Briscoe wouldn't have it. "Here's my script for you: this entire place from the Employee Area to this studio trailer, it all looks like evidence to me. Unless you start talking, this entire place will be gone with just one simple phone call."
"Ah...the same threats you made to my father's own bars," she proceeded to reach for more tobacco in her bag. "Mid-May of 2012 if I'm not mistaken."
Briscoe grinned slyly. "Smart chick, but I'm smarter. I know how you been making your father's bars double the protection money. Five of them ran out of business earlier this summer."
But before she could reply any further, Phoenix cut in, "I don't wanna interrupt this family reunion between you two, but can we please talk about the here and now?"
Varnello's attention turned to the blue-suited attorney. "Powers's lawyers correct?"
"Phoenix Wright and Mia Fey, we are here on his behalf."
"Tell me something, Detective, am I still a suspect?" Varnello asked Briscoe.
"When it comes to you, I got a high distrustful nature." Briscoe proceeded to light his own cigarette. "But as far as my bosses are concerned, they don't want to call you on the stand on account that the alibi you gave me and my partner checked out."
Mia decided to cut in "So if you've got nothing to hide from us, what would stop you from talking to us?"
Varnello gave her full attention to Mia. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told these detectives: there was a meeting that occurred here in this trailer. None of us went to Studio One because the monkey head was blocking our path to that studio. It wasn't until four that afternoon when we were able to leave this studio. Therefore, there was no way that we would've been at the studio."
Phoenix pondered her statement for a good three minutes while a cellphone began to ring. The phone turned out to belong to John Briscoe as he picked it up to answer while getting up from his chair. Wright finally began to speak, "I'm fairly certain that your people can corroborate your story, but even a newbie like me knows that a corroborated story can also be a lie."
"Thanks, Reagan, I'll let them know," Briscoe walked back to where Fey and Wright were sitting as he hung up his phone "Fey and Wright if you'll please join me outside. Thank you for your time, Ms. Varnello."
*******

"Briscoe, what was that past talk all about?" Phoenix asked the detective as they walked outside.
"About five years ago, after Mia got me acquitted of murder, my first case after I got my badge back involved me arresting her father Charles Varnello because he was the perpetrator of a botched mob hit. So you can automatically tell the warm friendship we have together."
The trio began to make their way back to the Studio One path when Mia began talking, "I was beginning to wonder why Reagan wasn't here with you, John."
"Because he was able to find the kid that snuck around in these studios, a boy by the name of Cody Rojas. Turned out he lived in a five block radius north of the studio. From what Reagan told me, he's very shaken up about this incident."
"So basically, Cody saw the incident firsthand?" Phoenix asked.
"Starting to look like it, which is why I want Mia to come with me to the Precinct and talk to him."
Mia was inclined to agree. "Tell Maya I'm gonna be late coming back to the office tonight. She'll know where I'm at."
With that said Briscoe and Fey got into the detective's car while Phoenix began to get into his car to drive back to the office.
