Phoenix Wright was holding his best frenemy. Tears falling down his face, falling onto the dead Miles Edgeworth chest. How could this have happened? He wondered. When Phoenix looked up he saw the bullet hole in the window. When he looked down he saw the blood pooling around his knees. "Edgeworth. How could you do this to me?" Phoenix murmured.

Detective Dick Gumshoe went over and knelt beside Phoenix. "You need to let him go so we can get an autopsy report." He said gently taking Phoenix's' arm and pulling them apart so an officer could take Edgeworth away.

Detective Gumshoe lifted Phoenix up and led him to a chair in Edgeworths' office. "Wright, I know that this must be hard. He was your friend. But could you tell me what happened." Gumshoe said pulling out a pad of paper and a pen.

"Edgeworth and I were talking about a previous case when he grabbed my shoulders. He looked straight in my eyes and was about to tell me something when he was shot." Phoenix said; tears started to drip down his face.

Gumshoe nodded. "I see." He said and stood.

He went over to the window with the bullet hole in it. He crossed his arms and studied the angle of which the bullet had come. "The person who shot Edgeworth would have to have been somewhere from the building across the street. It would have been from that floor up." He told the officer.

They saluted and went over to the building. Gumshoe went back and sat next to Phoenix. "You guys were becoming closer friends again went you?" He asked.

"Yeah. After we went for lunch, we started talking. I mean he did take over as a defense attorney for me when I was sick. So I had to repay him some way. Even though he didn't want me to. I had 'saved him'. But that didn't matter. He helped save Maya twice." He said with a passion in his voice.

"Don't worry pal. I'll find out who did this and bring him to justice." Gumshoe said clinching his fist.

Phoenix nodded. "Hey pal. I can't let you go home. The rest of the detectives that are on this case are gonna want to talk to you." He said patting Phoenix's shoulder lightly.

Phoenix nodded and let Gumshoe lead him to his car. "Gimmy the keys and I'll drive you to the precinct." Gumshoe said and held out his hand.

"Are you sure that you won't crash like you did before?" Phoenix asked dully.

"I won't pal. I only crashed because I was trying to get here in time to give you that evidence. But you never did get the 4th piece of evidence did you?" Gumshoe asked giving Phoenix a look.

"No I haven't." He said looking down.

"Well I'll have to ask Fanziska about that." Gumshoe said scratching the back of his head.

Phoenix nodded and hung his head. Gumshoe looked down and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." He said. "Guess it wouldn't be a good idea to take you down there. I'll leave you here for a little bit."

Once everyone left, Gumshoe just heading over to the other building to have a look around. The tears just started falling. Phoenix was absolutely crushed. He had already lost Edgeworth once and now he had lost him again. This time for good.

It was too much for Phoenix to bear. It was so painful that Phoenix thought his heart would burst. That was when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Phoenix looked up into the dark brown, almost black eyes of his assistant Maya Fey. "I'm going to miss him too." She said and hugged him.

They just held each other as the tears continued to fall to the bloody floor. Phoenix thought back over what happened and realized something. "Maya will you help me with something?" He whispered.

She nodded and wiped her eyes. They stood and went over to the crime scene. Phoenix stood in the spot where he was. "Maya stand there and do what I say please." Phoenix softly ordered.

Maya nodded again and stood where Phoenix indicated. "Okay, so Edgeworth and I were talking about his 'murder' case. Where he was the defendant. He wanted to know how I figured out that he wasn't the one to do it. Also how I figured it tied into the SL-6 incident." He said thinking back to what had happened.

"Phoenix. How did you figure everything out? It should have all been top secret. You shouldn't have known anything of this." Edgeworth said crossing his arms over his chest. His pointer finger taping his upper arm.

"I found out because everyone was talking about it. Finally I went down to the precinct and asked to have a look at the case file. They let us because Manfred von Karma was in there. That was when he tasered both Maya and myself. That's when everything clicked." Phoenix said with a shrug.

Edgeworth nodded and seemed to think for a moment. "But why did you fight so hard for me? I am your enemy." He said truly wondering why the defense attorney was fighting for a prosecutor like himself.

"I knew that you would never do something like that. I also wanted to find the truth behind the matter. I know you well enough that I knew that you would never kill someone, even accidentally. Plus what you were saying just didn't match up. So I dug deeper and got to the verdict that we did." The blue clad defense attorney said with another shrug that caused his pointy hair to slightly sway.

"I see." The maroon clad prosecutor said nodding his head.

That was when Edgeworth stepped forward and pushed Phoenix back slightly. "I have important information for you. The person that truly killed your defendant is-" Edgeworth started to say when he turned as the bullet shot through the glass and struck Edgeworth in the heart.

Phoenix was stunned and knelt down next to him. "Edgeworth." He mumbled.

Phoenix picked up Edgeworths head and cradled him in his chest. Tears falling down his face. What is going on? Phoenix wondered.

As Maya and Phoenix acted out what happened only hours before Phoenix realized two things that were extremely important.

The bullet was meant for him.

And that Edgeworth knew what was going to happen.
