WrightWorth: Ace Attorney Bridge To The Turnabout "A Phoenix Rises From Pain"

"Investigating With Gumshoe"

'♪No motive, no crime. No motive, no crime. Sing it with me - No motive, no crime!♪ ♪...I remember, when we use to search... in the Channeling Room in Kurain...♪'

phoenix stopped walking as he heard the happy singing, ...when he saw the dark green trench coat he knew who it was, ..gumshoe, he grimaced at his singing, wasn't so bad, kinda wired but, he looked like he was having fun

'Whoop! I love my job! Who cares if the clues I find are no good? That's not what investigating's all about! The investigator investigates for the love of investigating! It's a passion! ♪Good cases we have, good cases we've lost... Along the way...♪'

"heh, Gumshoe's into reggae?, never knew that"

'♪Every case is gonna be air tight... Every case is gonna be air tight...♪ Hey, pal'

gumshoe said, startled a bit, phoenix noticed how a little sheepish he looked at being caught happily singing to himself, so he pretended to act as though he never heard a thing

'hey big guy'

'How long have you been there?'

he asked, phoenix shrugged, playing natural

'just got here...'

he almost laughed at how relieved gumshoe looked, but he didn't point it out

'..Oh, OK.'

'anyways, what are you up too?'

he asked, cracking his fingers, gumshoe grinned as he replied

'i'm investigating, pal. I made a promise to Mr. Edgeworth. I promised I would find the real murder weapon, That barbed sword thing turned out to be a false lead, right? I'm giving it my best shot here, but I still haven't turned up any clues. I just found these weird scraps of paper. It looks like a letter or something. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case, though...'

phoenix then took out his notepad and pen as he started to ask his questions

'the investigation?'

he asked him, gumshoe scratched the back of his head, not sure on how to awsner that

'I don't know if I should be telling you, pal. But I guess it can't hurt. Looks like the murder took place in the Inner Temple garden. And they're taking that bloody writing on the lantern pretty seriously back at HQ'

phoenix's eyes slightly widen at that

'I don't have the details, pal. All I know is, if you don't find Maya down in that Sacred Cavern... ...we're gonna be faced with one ugly situation'

gumshoe tried to put it as lightly as he could, ..but no matter how you could, that couldn't stop phoenix's anxiety rising up, he gripped his locket tightly, trying to get a hold of himself

'..W-What kind of ugly situation are we looking at here..?'

he horased out, gumshoe frowned, seeing his friend like this, ...hurt him bad, ..so he decided to give him his most honest awsner

'... You got me! I don't know. They're not my words, pal..'

'Then who said it?'

'....godot'

phoenix's deep blue eyes shrank at his words, ..thought still very anxious, now incredibly angry, ..that godot!!, ...as if he hasn't already caused enough pain and suffering for phoenix, ...he just had to keep on adding more and more.., phoenix shook his head as he snapped himself out of it

"focus you fucking idiot!!, violet needs you!!"

'About that letter you found?'

'Don't remind me, pal! I'm busting a gut here trying to find the murder weapon... ...and all I find is some burnt up old letter'
