"But Niiiiiick, I'm hungry." A young girl with black hair and a topknot complained.
"Nope, we are not getting burgers. I'm broke; besides eating as many as you do cannot be healthy." A man in a blue suit said as he continued to walk alongside his assistant. They had just finished a particularly hard case and were now making their way back to the office.
"Come on, you know you're hungry." Maya tempted.
"If you really want burgers so bad why don't you pay for them yourself? I'm sure you have enough money to." She seemed to mull over this for a second.
"I guess so, but it's just so much easier when someone else does all the work for you."
"… So all this time I've been paying for your food when you could have been doing it yourself?" Maya paused for a second and then nodded.
"In my defense I'm saving up for tickets to the Steel Samurai live action show."
"That's no excuse…" The attorney stopped talking when he felt rain fall onto his head. "Great and we don't have an umbrella."
"We'll just shelter it out over there." Before Phoenix could react Maya started running over to an apartment complex. The building itself was not all that big, but there was an overhang that kept them dry. They waited there for a while in silence, but then Maya spoke up.
"When is the rain going to stop? We've been waiting here forever." Maya complained.
"…It's only been ten minutes, but it does look like it's clearing up a bit." Maya started to pace the length of the complex passing multiple doors. Eventually she tripped over a large book outside one of them.
"What gives?" She looked at the nameplate of whoever lived there. "This 'Kanzaki' person needs to not leave junk out."
"Maya, that's not junk; it's a phonebook. They probably haven't been home to pick it up yet."
"A phonebook… hey Nick, let's look up the law offices in here."
"H-hey that's someone else's, I don't want to have to defend you for something you did do." The spirit medium ignored him and paged toward the end of the book.
"Wright Autoparts, Wright Café, here we go Wright and Co. Law Offices." She proudly held up the book for Phoenix to see. He looked at the number listed under the contact information and knit his eyebrow together in confusion.
"That's not my number."
"What?"
"I said, that's not my number."
"How can it not be your number?"
"I don't know, I just know for a fact that the phonebook has the wrong number listed."
"Why don't we try calling…" Maya was interrupted by a woman who couldn't have been too much older than her.
"Excuse me, is something wrong?" She had short dark hair and was wearing a dress.
"Oh, it's nothing." Phoenix replied politely.
"Except that I tripped on this book someone left lying out." Phoenix elbowed her in the side. The woman's eyes grew big.
"I'm so terribly sorry, that is mine. I should have come home earlier so it would not have caused you trouble." She bowed.
"I-it's okay, it's not like you knew we were going to be here." Phoenix rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"But you should probably know that it's messed up." Maya chimed. Nao tilted her head.
"Messed up?"
"Hey look Nick, the rain cleared up!" Maya chimed in ignoring the woman's question. With that she dragged the attorney away leaving a very confused Nao behind.
"I didn't even get the chance to ask them if they wanted tea."
