Chapter 1
It was raining sheets and the streets were empty except for a lone figure bundled up in a long overcoat in the shadow of an alley. The persons form didn't move except for occasional shufflings. The once happy and trusting Defense Attorney Phoenix Wright huddled there in the cold rain looking and feeling more pathetic then he had in his entire life. He had helped a guilty man escape justice and worst of all he had nearly caught Engarde into a trap that would have gotten him to confess. Maya would have been freed but that didn't matter... she wouldn't want to talk to him. After all it was she who had said that if he didn't get Engarde the guilty sentence that she would never forgive him. Even thought it had all been to save her he knew that he himself could not and would not ever forgive himself for his ineptitude. If he had been a little smarter.... if he had only presented the right evidence he would have been able to save Maya and send a truly evil man to prison. Phoenix Wright got up and walked toward his office where he intended to close down for good. After all his reputation would be shattered now. No one would want his services now and even if they had he would never have allowed himself to defend another person. After all he couldn't protect anyone correctly... he had failed to protect Mia, his mentor, and he couldn't stop little Maya Fey from being abducted by De Killer. Phoenix called a taxi and it made its steady way back towards the Wright and Co. office. He walked up the stairs and walked now the hallway its dark shadows making him even more somber. But it was only when he opened his office that he sensed an intruder. He saw a shadow and managed to back away just in time to miss a knife that suddenly hit the door and stuck there ominously. Phoenix barely had time to react when someone knocked him out cold. Phoenix knew no more...... To be continued
