Ace Attorney: A Detective's Tale (Male Reader X Franziska Von Karma)

Chapter 4: Investigation and Date

(A/N: Sorry to keep you waiting. But here is Chapter 4. Warning, there is a very brief moment much later in this chapter where Y/N mentions racism in horror. Another thing, this chapter is a long one. Over 7000 words. Holy shit. I hope you enjoy.)

Timeskip to morning:

Y/N's POV:

Phone: (ding)

I slowly open my eyes

Phone: (ding)

Y/N: (groans)

I woke up to a text message. I groggily reach for my phone to see who messaged me. It's Maria.

Maria (text): Morning sleepy head.

Maria: (heart emoji)

I smile despite being half asleep. I text back.

Y/N (text): Morning Maria. What's up?

She's typing.

Maria (text): Just letting you know that Mia's Autopsy report is almost ready. I had her body moved to the morgue last night shortly after we left the Attorney's Office Building. So, I can examine it again whenever I want, and we can double check in case there was something we missed.

I type back.

Y/N (text): That's great, you're the best.

She's typing.

Maria (text): By the way, we're still on for tonight after work, right?

I type back.

Y/N (text): I... I hope so. I mean, if you still want to that is.

She's typing.

Maria (text): Of course, I do.

I type back.

Y/N (text): So, where and when do we meet?

She's typing.

Maria (text): I'm supposed to give you the official autopsy report. So, drop by the morgue after you're done investigating. My house is near there right next to the cemetery. Just let me know when you're on your way. I can give you the autopsy after our date.

I type back.

Y/N (text): Alright, sounds good.

Now that we made plans for tonight, I guess I should get going. I get out of my bed, get changed, and go downstairs. Dad already left for the day, so I'm on my own.

Y/N's Mind: I see he kept the lights off. That saves time for me. I should get going. The first thing I should do is talk to Maya. Knowing how the cops just took her, she should be down by the Detention Center.

I leave the house.

Timeskip to the Detention Center:

Y/N's POV:

I arrive to the Detention Center. But when I got there, I saw someone I didn't think would be here until a little later.

Y/N: Phoenix?

He turns to me with bags under his eyes.

Y/N: I thought that was you. What are you doing here?
