*ON HOLD* Unlawful Attraction: Turnabout Samurai

Chapter 11 Other People at the Studio

"P-proof!?" Oldbag gasped as the court fell silent. Your eyes looked to Phoenix hoping what ever he had for evidence was going to be good.

"Indeed? Then let's see this proof, Mr. Wright. You have proof that shows the boy could not have committed this murder?" The judge even looked shocked as he looked down at Phoenix. There was a tension in the air, one that you did not care for now as you stared with wide eyes and baited breath.

"Your Honor! The murder weapon was the Samurai Spear. That very spear is shown here in this photo. How could the boy have taken the spear? It's impossible!" Phoenix represented the photo the security camera had taken again with a smug look on his face. He wasn't wrong how could a 2nd or 3rd grader hold a spear that heavy?!

"I see! Well, would the witness care to comment on this?" The judge looked down to Oldbag who muttered under her breath. "Very well! This court will suspend proceedings on the current trial for today. Mr. Edgeworth, please find out more about your witness, Ms. Windy... what was her name?" The judge made a face lost again.

"Something "Oldbag" your honor" Edgeworth sighed from across the way.

"Wendy Oldbag your honor" you spoke at the same time.

"Then the prosecution will look further into Ms.Wendy Oldbag before we continue! That is all. The court is adjourned!" The judge was so close to slamming his gavel down, you had watched with baited breath waiting with bubbling excitement only for it to die down.

"W-wait a second! I'm not going to just sit here while you run off barking up the wrong tree... me! I'm talking!" Oldbag slammed her hands against the witness stand a fire in her eyes and you bit your lip in anxiousness. You couldn't help but feel worried suddenly.

"Ms. Oldbag! What is this all about? Have you omitted something from your testimony?" The judge looked down at her with wide eyes as he spoke.

"Actually, if you must know, there's something I was told not to talk about." Oldbag crossed her arms with a narrowed expression.

"N-not to talk about?" Phoenix muttered aloud, his shoulders slumped and he didn't seem too happy.

"By whom!?" Edgeworth slammed a fist to the table and you felt your eyes widen, he didn't tell her not too? Something was definitely up then!

"W-well Ms.Oldbag, please testify!" The judge looked curious as Oldbag scoffed a bit at them.

"Global Studios wanted me to keep quiet about something. There were...some other people at the studios on the day of the murder. They said they had "nothing to do with it," see? So they told me to just pretend they "hadn't been at the studios that day." But if you're going to go accusing me, I'm not letting them get away scot free!" Oldbag had that angry expression on her face again.

"M-Ms. Oldbag! This is crucial information! Why did you keep this from the court until now!?" The judge blinked with another shocked expression, it was just full of surprises in the court room today hasn't it? You don't think you've ever been in court not only this long but with such new evidence brought into light like this. Being around Phoenix was an adventure in its self!

"Ain't you been listening? They told me to shut my trap, and I always do what I'm told." Oldbag stared at the judge with even more anger and he stayed silent. You didn't blame him for saying silent it was almost shocking at how something this lady could be.

"Mr. Wright... Your cross-examination." Finally the judge just looked at Phoenix now seeming as tired as Edgeworth.

"W-who were these people!?" Phoenix looked at Oldbag with wide eyes and you didn't blame him for looking so shocked either, it was just that kind of day.
