"Good morning, Mrs. Clowes. I am your lawyer for your case, and I'd like to ask a few questions. My name is Phoenix Wright, and these two are Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes. There's no need to worry, Ms. Clowes. If you really are innocent, we'll prove it."

Phoenix was making his usual greeting to his new client, Anne Clowes. Suspected of murdering her husband, Alex Clowes.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wright. I just can't believe they would suspect me of murdering my husband.. I'm going through enough as it is!" Anne said to Phoenix. Phoenix nodded his head.

"It's alright, Mrs. Clowes. They don't exactly have a motive for you, so that's something we have on our side. Now, if you could please answer these questions..."

Phoenix pulled out a notebook containing some questions that needed answering. Apollo and Athena watched Mr. Wright jot down notes and crossing off lines of writing. The three payed close attention to her, but she didn't seem to be lying.

"Thank you, Ms. Clowes. I promise, we'll get you out of here as soon as we can. Your trial is tomorrow, so we'll be investigating the crime scene, see if we can gather evidence to support our case. Thanks for your time."

Phoenix, Apollo and Athena walked out the door of the police station, making their way to the fancy hotel the crime scene was at.

"I reckon she didn't do it. She seemed way too innocent to even stab a fly." Athena told the men as they made their way to the scene.

"That's good, Athena. Always believe in your clients. Apollo?" Phoenix focused his attention on the demon horned lawyer in red. He crossed his arms and looked at him.

"I'm with Athena. She reminds me of Juniper, honestly. Way too innocent to do any sins, at the very least, commit murder." Apollo gave his thoughts on the current case. They reached the hotel, and made their way to the elevator.

"Lot of police here. You think they'll let us through?" Athena asked her boss.

"Well, it's usually a 50/50 chance in my books. Depends on how much sleep the cops got last night. If they don't let us in, we'll just get Athena to throw the cop blocking us," Phoenix joked, smiling to himself. Athena punched the palm of her hand.

"Alright! I'm ready to do some fighting, boss," Athena said with massive amounts of enthusiasm in her voice.

"Cool it there, Tiger. I don't think he was serious." Apollo said, slumped over.

Athena broke out into a sweat.

"O-of course I knew he was joking! I mean, I wasn't going to throw another officer! Do you really think I would do that to a fellow man of law?!" Athena yelled at Apollo. Apollo gave Athena a look that basically said 'Yes, I reckon you would.' The three stepped into the elevator, and Phoenix jammed his finger into the '5' button. The elevator started to rise.

"I wonder if Mr. Edgeworth is gonna be here." Athena asked Phoenix.

"If he is, he didn't take the elevator, that's for sure." Phoenix mumbled to himself. Ding! The doors swung open. The three made their way left to room 309. There was an officer standing guard in front of the room. Phoenix flashed his badge, and the guard stepped aside for the three.

"Hey, he let us in. That's a first." Athena whispered to Apollo. Apollo gave Athena a dissapointed look.

"You really wanted to chuck that officer across the hallway, didn't you?" Apollo teased. He felt Athena punch him in the arm.

"Ah, good to see you three."

Edgeworth walked out of the bedroom to greet the three attorneys. Phoenix stuck out a hand for Edgeworth, and he shook it.

"What've you got?" Phoenix asked the prosecutor. Miles went over to the kitchen counter and handed him a folder.

"This is the autopsy report for the victim. I assure you, no updates are needed. So you don't have to panic about that" Edgeworth said to Wright slyly. Phoenix opened the folder.

"Cause of death: a single stab to the front of the throat. A steak knife was found in the dumps outside of the hotel with the victims blood. No fingerprints were taken, due to either the weapon being wiped or gloves being involved. Time of death: 11:30 PM to 12:00 AM" Phoenix read out the Autopsy report. He looked up at the other two lawyers.

"Shall we take a look?"

The three stepped into the room, and found the victim lying on the floor next to his bed. Blood was spilt all over the area below the pillow, and had followed the victim to his body.

"It looked like he was alive for a bit after the stabbing, and he tried to make his way to the phone. He probably drowned in his own blood on the way though." Apollo said, kneeling down next to the corpse.

"What a way to go. Honestly, drowning is the death I would be most terrified of" Athena said to Apollo.

The victim was just in his boxer shorts, and nothing out of the ordinary was found at the crime scene.

"The police did a thorough investigation on of the scene. It looked pretty simple. Although the victim had more clothes on at time of death. We found some bloody clothes in the dump that the knife was located at. The blood belonged to the victim, so the question is, why did the killer feel the need to undress the victim?" Edgeworth had told the three attorneys.

"The only person in the room other than the victim was his wife, which is why the police suspected her" Edgeworth explained.

"Has she got a motive?" Phoenix asked the prosecutor.

"I believe their marriage was in danger. They had visited a marriage counsellor multiple times. We believe this may be Ms. Clowes way of divorce." Edgeworth replied.

"A pretty weak motive, if you ask me." Athena said to the men.

"Perhaps," Edgeworth replied, but then tapped his finger against his forehead. "But how do you plan to prove a third party, exactly? No witness's have come forth except for the man who discovered the body, Mr. Hanna." Edgeworth said. Phoenix sighed.

"We'll find a way."

They went to inspect the rest of the room when a butler entered the room.

"Is Mr. Justice here?" The butler asked.

"Yeah, that's me. What is it?" Apollo asked.

"You presence is requested at the floor of the building."

Apollo gave him a confused look, then turned to the attorneys.

"I'll be right back."

"I'll come with you, Apollo." Athena jogged after him.

The two made their way to the elevator, following the butler.

"Any idea who this guy is?" Apollo asked the butler.

"No idea, I'm afraid, sir. I didn't get to ask his name." The butler said to him. Apollo gave Athena a confused look. When the elevator opened, Apollo stepped out. The officers seemed to have gone away, leaving nothing but an empty floor.

"Uh, hello? Apollo Justice here!" Apollo called out.

Then Apollo felt something sharp plunge into his neck.

"Gah! What the..." Apollo reached for his neck and turned around. The butler was holding a needle in his hand, which had some strange liquid in it.

"What the fuck did you.. Do to me.." Apollo fell to the floor. Athena gasped and the butler turned his attention to her.

"Run.. Athena.." Apollo felt himself losing consciousness. Athena started running, but felt a tug on her hair. She was pulled in, and Athena tried to kick the butler behind her, but it was no use. She felt the needle go into her neck. She fell to floor, and stared at the butler.

"Why.." She muttered out.

"I have a contract to fulfill." The butler said, grabbing the unconscious Apollo and flinging him over his shoulder. Before Athena blacked out, the last thing she saw was the butler approaching her body.

Apollo woke up first. He was surrounded by complete darkness, and felt a weight on his right side. Athena was lying on Apollo, unconscious. Apollo felt his wrists tied behind his back. He tried to break whatever was holding them, but to no success. Athena eventually opened her eyes slowly and looked around, and then looked up at Apollo.

"Where... Where are we?" She asked the red man. Apollo tried to get his bearings, but could barely see anything in the darkness. It was night, so the only light shining through was the moon lighting through a small window high about the two of them, and some light coming under a crack of a door. Apollo got up, and went to smash the door down. The door opened up to a man, thin and hiding his face with a mask.

"You two are finally awake. Good. Get used to the darkness." The man said to them. It was at that moment Athena realised she didn't have Widget around her neck.

"Where's Widget?!" She yelled at the man.

"Oh, that gadget of yours? You can get it back if your boss succeeds in his role." The man said to her.

"Role? What the hell do you mean? Where are we?! What do you want?" Apollo started blurting out questions.

"Shut the fuck up, and let me explain. You two kids are what the general public call 'kidnapped'"

Athena felt a shiver go up her spine.

"Your client, I think her name was Anne? She hired me to kidnap you. All your boss needs to do is get a 'Not Guilty' verdict, and you two are free to go! However, if he gets a 'Guilty'.."

The man pulled out a silenced pistol from a table outside the door.

"He won't be seeing you again." The man said. Apollo felt like his stomach had been punched. Athena got up, and tried to charge at the man, in an attempts to escape. The man punched Athena in the stomach, causing her to go into a coughing fit.

"Athena!" Apollo ran over to Athena, who was on her knees.

"Don't make stupid moves like that, you dumb bitch! Don't try to escape. There's no way. Trust me, many before you have tried."

Apollo looked up at the man.

"How could you do this to Mr. Wright again?! He's had this happen to him before, and he nearly lost his friend! You're a monster?! Shelly, you're a monster!" Apollo screamed at the man. The man laughed to himself.

"Shelly? That's not my name. You have me confused, I don't reveal my name to the public. I'm not as stupid as De Killer is. I've made one radio transmission to your boss, that's it. Nothing else, just letting him know 'Hey, your two assistants are going to die if you don't get your client innocent!' Oh, speaking of your client. I have one thing to say about her. She's the killer. Let's hope Wright can bluff his way out of this one. Maybe use some forged evidence again?"

The man laughed and grabbed the door handle.

"Have fun!"

The door slammed shut.

The two attorneys watched the door slam shut. Athena got up and walked over to the back wall. She slid down and brought her knees up to her head, and she started crying. She had her hands tied behind her back, as well.

"Apollo... Are we gonna die?" Athena sobbed out, looking at the man in red. Apollo looked down at the floor.

"The last time this happened to Mr. Wright, he got the guy guilty, and manages to save his friend who was kidnapped. He's a smart man, I reckon we'll be fine." Apollo replied, forcing a smile. Apollo walked over to the back wall and sat next to Athena.

Athena put on a small smile and looked at Apollo.

"Thanks, Apollo.."

She leaned on Apollo, putting her head on his shoulder.

"2 days, Athena, then we'll be out of here. I promise." Apollo said to the girl.

Athena looked ahead blankly.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Apollo." She whispered.

Apollo stared ahead blankly for a while, then spoke.

"I'll make sure that you make it out, Athena. No matter what happens. I promise that."

Athena stared up at Apollo. She leaned towards him, and placed her lips softly on Apollo's. Apollo returned the kiss. Her lips were soft and warm. They kissed each other softly for about a minute, then broke apart slowly.

"Thanks.. Apollo." She whispered to him. She buried her head in his neck.

"Apollo.." She whispered.

"Hm?" He answered back.

"I'm scared of the dark." She whispered, shuddering.

Apollo snuggled closer towards Athena.

"So am I, Tiger."

Then they drifted away, snuggled next to each other closely.
