Phoenix walked into the dark office, the rain clouds outside hiding the sun. The blinds were half closed and the television was switched off, making it even darker than it might've been.

He hung up his jacket and moved to the couch, slumping down. He leaned back and stretched out, letting his body relax after the short run up the stairs.

"Guess I'm early." He muttered to himself and closed his eyes.

"Do you really think someone of my perfection would be late?" Phoenix jumped up and looked to the spare office room. Standing in the doorway was Franziska Von Karma, dressed as she normally did for her daily job.

She walked over to him slowly, brushing her hand across the desk and then letting it fall back down to her thigh. A little smirk formed on her lips.

"I would never be late." With that the prosecutor sat next to him and placed a hand on his leg.

"I..I know that Franziska," He fell back as she struck him.

"Miss Von Karma to you, Mr Wright." Franziska pushed him back down as he tried to sit back up, blood dribbling from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm…sorry Fran-Miss Von Karma,"

"Good boy, Mr Wright." He smiled a little.

Then a cough came from the doorway. Phoenix sat up sharply and Franziska looked round. Standing there was Miles and Dick, both looking rather uncomfortable.

"You boys are late!"

"Sorry Miss Von Karma," Dick murmured.

Miles stood there staring at his sister figure on his best friend. It was one of those situations he'd hoped he'd never have to be in.

He wanted to stop them, somehow, so he coughed gently. Phoenix looked horrified, embarrassed and shocked all in one go, his face not quite sure what expression to put on. Franziska seemed unaffected, like she'd…been expecting them.

"You boys are late." Well that confirmed it. He'd thought it was odd Gumshoe wanted to visit Phoenix, he'd known there must've been another reason.

"Sorry Miss Von Karma." Well the detective obviously knew what he was coming here for.

What about him? Miles Edgeworth? Why was he here anyway? Franziska didn't seem the least bit bothered to see him, not surprised or taken aback or anything. Then again, it was Franziska Von Karma.

"Well, I see you managed to bring Miles with you." She walked over to them, Phoenix still sat down, unsure of what to do or say.

"I brought the detective here, it was raining.." He paused as she ran a hand down his cheek.

"It really doesn't interest me Miles, you should know that." Franziska smiled, "You always bored me. So rigid and uptight about every little thing."

"What?!" Edgeworth felt his face flush.

"Um…" Phoenix butted in, "So…what are these guys doing here anyway?"

"Oh! I invited Dick and asked him to bring Miles along somehow."

There was an awkward silence while Franziska looked them all over.

"Shall we continue?" She asked.

To be continued
