Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Burglary"

trucy looked around the place 

'Huh, kind of an at-home sort of place, isn't it?'

'This place has a connection to the murder in the park... I'm sure of it!'

he said, is was his only lead, he had to work with what he had

'The police guy out front wasn't so sure'

trucy pointed out

'Beyond it being where the victim lived'

 "Looks like the police team's gone home for the day"

trucy then smiled as she too was determined to crack this case wide open

'There might be some clues lying around! Let's get cracking, Apollo!'

while looking arounf the meraktis clinic reception haul, something caught trucy's eyes

'There's a single pair of sandals here'

apollo walked over to her and saw what she was talking, their, sitting around on the floor, where big blue sandles

'Wait, but why would there be sandals here? Unless they belong to one of the patients'

'Or maybe it's a visitor that's come to see Dr. Meraktis'

she guessed, apollo however, had his doubts on that

'You'd think they'd use his house entrance instead of the clinic entrance, in that case. And, if this patient or visitor isn't still here...'

'Why'd they leave without their shoes?'

"Better take a closer look at these, just in case"

he took the sandals and put them into his bag, then another thing caught trucy's eyes, ..the slippers reminded her of somethng

'These must be the slippers for patients at the clinic'

apollo took out the slipper they found at the trash can and compared it, just as he thought, the same ones

'The same as the pair we found, of course'

trucy then tugged at his rolled up sleeve

'Look, a single pair is missing from the rack here, too. And ours have paint on the bottoms... Which means they were taken out of here on the night of the murder'

'Right... The paint's from the hit and run, after all 

"But what were a pair of clinic slippers doing in that trash can? And what were they doing at the scene of the hit and run?"

as apollo put the slipper back into his bag, trucy then tugged at his rolled up sleeves

'Look! This door says "Doctor's Office"!'

'Think this is the victim's private office?'

he guessed, trucy reached out her hands to touch the nob, and turned it, it didn't stop, it was unlocked

'It's not locked... Too bad'

she grumbled, apollo gave her a weird look

'Why "too bad"?'

'I like opening locks! It's kind of a hobby of mine. Like those little bike locks? Don't even bother putting them on when I'm around!'

she smiled and tipped her hat, as if proud she was able to pick-lock so well, apollo blinked at her as he only said

'...That's probably not a hobby you want to tell too many people about'

they two jumped when they heard a loud thump at the door, trucy backed up, getting to apollo's side
