Unexpectedly: Chapter 6

“So, you want to learn more about forensics,” Said Ema Skye to the man that had unexpectedly joined her at the small table outside a café, “Mr.… what was it again?”

“Gumshoe… Dick Gumshoe.” Said the scruffy man.

“Right, the detective who worked for Mr. Edgeworth.” She said with a smile.

Gumshoe scratched the back of his head. “I still work for him…” He mumbled.

“Anyway, I’d love to teach you what I know! I’ve always wanted an apprentice since Mr. Wright took on Apollo.”

Dick was happy she accepted him, but paused at the name. “A Polo?” He asked.

“Apollo Justice. You know, the not so new kid on the defense block. He’s quite scientifically minded, from what I’ve seen.” She explained, leaning forward in her seat to retrieve her bag of crunchy snacks. She popped the new bag open. “Mr. Edgeworth better leave the prosecuting to that glimmerous fop when facing him.”

“Gimmerous… fop?” Gumshoe was so lost.

“Klavier Gavin, MUNCH the rock star.” She said, waving her hand dismissively.

Gumshoe nodded. He had heard a lot about the blonde prosecutor from Edgeworth, so he wasn’t as hopelessly lost as before.

Something struck him. “Wait, Mr. Wright has an apprentice?”

“MUNCH MUNCH He’s not so much an apprentice, MUNCH he’s more like MUNCH an employee.”

This was news to him. He’s better tell Edgeworth about it later.

“So, MUNCH what got you interested MUNCH in the scientific side MUNCH of investigating?” She asked, genuinely curious.

Gumshoe sighed. “My way of investigating is kinda out of date. I need to keep up with the criminals of today, you know?”

“Well, MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH do you have MUNCH any experience in science or MUNCH criminology?” She chewed.

His hand returned to the back of his head. “I’ve investigated a lot of murders, but I wasn’t much for science…”

Ema glared at him.

“THEN!” He waved his hands in panic, “I wasn’t much for science THEN!!”

Her glare dissipated. Nice dodge there, Gumshoe.

“I’m willing to teach if you’re willing to do the work, Detective.”

The scruffy detective nodded enthusiastically. “I’ll work hard, Ms. Ema! I won’t let you down!”

She popped another snackoo into her mouth, then threw one at him. *K-Tonk!* “You’d MUNCH better MUNCH.”

Ema’s phone began to ring. She flipped it open. “Hello?”

She sat up, rigid. The brunette’s face became very serious.

“I have Detective Gumshoe with me right now. We’re on our way.”

She hung up, then stood. Gumshoe followed.

“Looks like your first lesson came early, Detective. We’ve got a scene.”

IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!!

What… what’s happening?

The pain… it’s everywhere. But why?

My hands… they’re all wet… and red.

My chest… My chest burns…

Screams… where am I? I don’t want to be here.

Help me…someone…

I’m scared…

Please…


IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!!

Riiing…Riiing…Riiing…Rii-

“Thanks for calling the Wright Anything Agency. If you need magic, music, or even a little Justice, you’ve called the Wright place.”

“…Um… I-I’m looking for Mr. Phoenix Wright…”

“Speaking. How can I help you?”

“I-I’m in some trouble… I need an attorney…”

“Hmm, you’ll have to speak with our attorney, Apollo Justice, about that-“

“He can’t represent me.”

“...”

“…I need you to represent me, Mr. Wright. I know you can.”

“I…don’t take cases anymore, unless I have a reason.”

“You do.”

“…!”

“You… you don’t know what happened?”

“Apparently not…”

“Please…come to the detention center… I’ll explain everything when we meet.”

“…”

“If…you knew the whole story… you wouldn’t be able to say no…”

“I’ll be there as soon as possible, but I’m not giving you any promises.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wright.”

IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!! IGIARI!! OBJECTION!!

Trucy was practicing her magic in the office as she waited for Polly to come back from lunch. It had already been a few hours, and she was very worried.

“Where could he be!?” She huffed, dropping the floating hoop with a frustrated sigh. She couldn’t concentrate!

When she couldn’t take the anxiety for one more moment, she stomped to the door and threw it open.

Outside stood Ema, a vacant expression on her face. Behind her stood a very tall, scruffy looking man in a beat up trench coat.

“Hey, Ema!” She said cheerfully, but soon regained her sour mood. She made her way outside. “I’m sorry I can’t stay and talk. Polly’s been gone for hours and I’m going to go find him!”

“I need to speak with Mr. Wright…” Came Ema’s voice. It was apprehensive and unsure. “...about Apollo…”

The magician tilted her head. “Hmm? Daddy’s out right now. What about Polly?”

“Look, pal, we need to see Mr. Wright as soon as possible. It’s really important.” Said the scruffy-looking guy. His voice, unlike Ema’s, was strong and urgent.

Trucy picked up on it. This was important.

“Daddy’s at the detention center talking to someone. Does this…” She paused, “Does this have to do with my brother being gone for so long?”

Ema nodded, her hand tightening on her bag. She did not want to be the one to tell her.

“You’re brother… is in a little trouble…” Gumshoe mumbled.

“What? You mean, like, illegal trouble?! No way!” Trucy questioned, gaping.

“That’s not what he means, Trucy…” Ema told her, looking away.

“Just spit it out!” Yelled the youngest, clearly upset.

Gumshoe and Ema gave each other a look. This wasn’t going to be easy…
Oh, no! What's going on? Where's Polly? Who is Phoenix meeting at the detention center, and what is this 'offer that can't be refused'?

All this and more will be answered in the next few chapters!

Hurray for suspense!!

What, were you expecting me to reveal it all here? Yeah, right!

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! The next one is on it's way.
