[Author's POV]

[11:31, CC Cooperation]

[April 14, 4037]

"So, where are we?" Phoenix looks up the tall modern building, which probably contains 50 floor. "CC Cooperation, my work place." Edgeworth answers, "Don't worry, I'm gonna murder him" Phoenix furiously stomps all the way to the entrance, Edgeworth manages to stop him before Phoenix does anything chaotic.  He pulls his sleeves tightly. "Don't do that! I'll do the talking, wait for me alright?" Phoenix nods obediently.

"Fine, if anything happens, you are not stopping me." Phoenix sighs and crosses his arms. "Good.. Let's get inside." Edgeworth adjusts his cravat and grabs his case, heading inside the building.

"Morning Mr. Edgeworth, the boss wants to see you immediately." Mr. San's assistant, Iris, told him. "I will be seeing him now" Edgeworth replies calmly, walking towards the elevator, "Phoenix, I want you to stay here, for me. Please?" "There is no way I will be staying he-" "I thought you'll do as I command." he claims, staring deeply into Phoenix intense gaze, he sighs and eventually agreed, "Fine, I'll stay." Phoenix crosses his arms, again, annoyed.

Edgeworth gives Phoenix a smile and clicks the button to his destination and the elevator automatically close behind Phoenix. He walks away from the elevator and head towards the lounge.

[WARNING! Major Discomfort]

Edgeworth looks around the metalic looking lift, tapping on the rail and waits patiently. The elevator finally opens, revealing the long hallway and a door that awaiting for his presence. He grasp his case tightly and confidentially walks towards the door, knocking it gently. "Come in" the voice called, Edgeworth pushes the door open, glaring at his boss lying in the couch impolitely, inside the enormous office. "Sir-"

"Take a seat Edgeworth and we may start." The man said. Edgeworth nods and sits on the couch. "I would like to resign my job sir." Edgeworth claims, clearing his throat, "Look, Edgeworth I'm sorry, I was just drunk y'know? Please don't leave." The man begs, "I'm sorry but I still want to resign. I am no longer interested in working with you." Edgeworth stands up, walking towards the door, but fails to reach the door.

"You are playing hard to get, Miles Edgeworth." The hideous man pins him on the door, breathing softly against Edgeworth's pale neck. He hisses in pain, groaning at the feeling of pain on his lower back

Edgeworth quickly look through his pockets, avoiding the man's action, but he was quick to catch Edgeworth's doing and slaps away the object away from grasp, "You are not going anywhere this time, Edgeworth." his boss smirks hideously. Edgeworth swiftly looks behind, knocking over the expensive plant beside the door, panicking.

What he didn't know, is that the remote was clicked against the broken pot, and Phoenix was called.

°°°°

"So Iris, why don't you quit your job?" Phoenix asked, sipping his tea peacefully "O-oh.. Well, I just needed to work, for my sister, Dahlia.. Y'know.. Who would put food on the table.. " Iris responded nervously. "I'm deeply sorry for yo-"

BEEP BEEP.

[EMERGENCY! OWNER IS IN DANGER]

[EMERGENCY! OWNER IS IN DANGER]

"Fuck! Iris I'm sorry I have to go" Phoenix rush over to the elevator, leaving Iris confused as ever.

No,no, no! Just take the stairs Phoenix!

Phoenix rushes over to the other side of the hallway, sprinting upstairs faster than ever, as he reaches the '49' floor which the stair stops, he groaned. "Fucking shit!" he quickly clicks on the open button and the elevator reveals open, he let himself inside and quickly clicks on the '50' floor.

He impatiently waits, tapping on his foot frustratingly instead, he bashed the elevator open and rushes into the main room, Edgeworth's boss.
"That stupid spiky-boy of yours will never save you Edgeworth, stop trying!" he heard a slam inside the room and without hesitation, he aggressively kicks the door open "HOW DARE YOU!" Phoenix sprints over to the annoyed man and throws a punch at the man's face, pulling his arm to the back and kicks down the man's body.

"YOU DARE TO HARM WHAT'S MINE?!" Phoenix professional twists the man's arm violently, causing his bones to break rapidly, the man screams, now begging for his life. "P-please! Please! I won't harm him anymore! Please, s-s-spare me!" he begs, coughing out blood. But Phoenix outrageously crack his spine, "Why would I spare you? Do you think I could trust you?" Phoenix whispers over to the man's ear and smirks at the man's reply; "PLEASE YES! YES! YOU CAN TRUST ME! I WON'T TOUCH HIM ANYMORE!" The man begsharder

"Phoenix, let him go! You'll get yourself in trouble for that!" Edgeworth tries to stop him, but it was too late, Phoenix has lost conscious of himself, his now raging self has taken over him, wanting the man dead.

He lifts the man up high and throws him away towards the window, the glass shatters and breaks into pieces, leaving the man falling to his death, screaming fearfully. Soon enough, the body lands on the cold ground, blood splattered everywhere. The people gathered around to see the horrifying dead body lying in the ground.

I will NEVER forgive you

"Phoenix! You are gonna get caught!" Edgeworth stares at Phoenix, who was now satisfied. "I have no fingerprints, no one will ever suspect me." he smirked, grabbing Edgeworth's arm and head towards the crushed looking lift. "Oh dear God, what have you done Phoenix.. " Edgeworth looks around, fear that someone might see the horrendous scene "I was impatient, you can't blame me" Phoenix replies calmly. "We can't go down! They'll suspect us for sure!" Edgeworth panics, "I'll find another way out, and Iris will help me." Phoenix smiles at him. "W-what?!"

"Here's the other exit, have a good day gentlemen." Iris smiles Phoenix smiles back at her, transferring a million yen into her bank account. She rushes over to look at her phone and gasp, "Y-you don't have to do this Mr. Wright!" she tears up, "It's alright, just quit your job, this building is useless now" Phoenix patted her shoulder and walks away, leaving her to cry tears of joy.

"That's so generous of you." Edgeworth smiled at the proud boy, "I know, I know, let's go back now, we'll find you a work tomorrow" Phoenix scratches the back of his neck, "Alright then, let's go back" Edgeworth responded and the two walked home.
