Lotta Hart and Nicole Swift had decided to form a joint effort to get cash from scoops, one provided the pics while the other got the report. "Ya know, I think that we should get a scoop on that prosecutor!" The teen got giddy at the idea. "Oh! Do ya mean Mr. Edgeworth?" The woman snickered. "Ya reckon that there's somethin' goin' with that assistant of his." Nicole began readying her gear along with Lotta. "You're right! He seems to depend a lot on her!" They got a dangerous glint in their eyes. "Ya know, a birdie told me that they spend lot's a time together in his office." They had to hold back the evil laugh that threatened to surface. "Master! This might get us a lot of money!" The two wannabe journalists set off to the prosecutor offices.
The duo sneaked in and swiped the master key when the current guard was distracted. "What did Missile do? ... Is that so? I hope that he doesn't get sick. ... Yes, I have a lot to thank you and Mr. Edgeworth for letting me keep the job. ... This weekend? I'm free, why? ... The Moozilla movie?" They looked at each other, smelling a small scoop. But they shook their heads and reminded themselves of the bigger fish. They disliked having to get to the paparazzi level, but it was quite rewarding.
Now it was the moment of the truth, to take down the last barrier, a locked door. Nicole pulled out a thin mic and slid it under the door. "Let's see the situation first. Turning it on..." *Bzzt* *Bzz...* "Wow, you're really stiff..." "Ngoh..." *Bam...* "Hey, relax!" "Try to be more careful then." "Meanie, I'm new at this." *Bzz...* *Click-* The duo looked at each other, blushing and imagining what was going on. They nodded in understanding and Lotta brought up the master key. "Ready?" "When you are master." They barged in, took the necessary photos and ran away.
Edgeworth just watched as the two nosy reporters ran and picked the phone. "Mr. Edgeworth, what did they want?" He wordlessly dialed Gumshoe's number. "Considering who they are, I think they expected to get a 'scoop' on me." He gave a few instructions to the detective and got ready to go out. "Where are we going?" Kay had picked her dark blue coat from the sofa, looking at the prosecutor. "The detention center, I believe that detective Gumshoe won't take long to find those troublemakers." She got pumped up. "Let's steal their true intentions!" He just pursed his lips at her antics.
Down at the detention center, Gumshoe was waiting for the couple. "Hey pal, I already got the suspects, now we only need to interrogate them." Edgeworth nodded. "Good to see your eficciency. Maybe I'll give you a raise if we manage to make them speak." Gumshoe looked like a kid who just got a gift. "Thanks pal!" Kay got happy for her friend as well. "If it keeps goig like this, I'll be able to graduate from instant noodles someday, pal."
The trio got in the interrogation room and waited until the suspects were brought in. "So these are the confiscated itens?" A camera and a recorder sat on top of the table. "Yeah pal, those two fought nail and tooth for them." He scratched his head. "I even got a bite on my arm..." He rubbed his forearm, as it was still stinging. "They were like angry cats..." But the first tme time they played the recording, Gumshoe got all flustered until he got an explanation. "Is that so? Good, because Pops would come after you otherwise." Tyrell Badd wasn't an existence to be understimated, even if he was currently serving prison time.
They didn't have to do much to make the reporters crack. Just playing the tape and checking the camera was enough. "W-well, hehe... Ya reckon that yer a famous guy, right?" Nobody could reply to this, Nicole even lowered her head in shame. "As you can see in the photo..." They recoiled. "Kay was just giving me a shoulder massage." The two reporters jumped in shock. "Dangnabbit! So all our work was for naught?!"
"Aww..." Nicole and Lotta were curled up on the curb, trying to find another possible scoop from their joined knowledge, as all the data in their equipment got deleted. "And now, chief...?" The woman got up, dusted herself and picked her camera. "Let's find that horned kid and get some embarrasing secrets!" Then they heard someone coming and hid, peeking at whoever came. "Master, ain't they-" "Shh!" It was the couple they tried to catch red-handed.
Kay looked around for possible witnesses and turned to Edgeworth. "Hehe, those reporters didn't manage to to get proof of our relationship." The man sighed. "Well, we did agree to keep it under wraps until you get to the legal age." The teen giggled and pecked him before going off. Neither noticed the gleeful troublemaking duo. Lotta had taken a photo without a flash and Nicole recorded the exchange. "Strike!" They got up, with renewed spirit. The Demon Prosecutor's mask would fall by their hands!
"Ahem." *Snap-!* Franziska was glaring at the two people she most disliked, raising her whip over her head. "Were you spying on my little brother?!" They screamed in terror. "Run Nicole!" "Right after ya Master!" The prosecutor began chasing them and went past a surprised Edgeworth. 'There they go again...' *Sigh...* He shrugged and went home. 'Luckily I already got her gift for tomorrow's party.'
Gumshoe had seen the scene as well and wished luck to the reporters, Franziska could get pretty ruthless if angered enough. Phoenix and Larry had tasted the full brunt once. 'Heh, but Mr. Edgeworth never tricked me, I wish him and Kay to be happy. He even got softer on my paychecks.' That's why he managed to save enough for dates. 'Mmm... if things go like this, I'll be forever grateful to little Kay.' And they didn't know that Badd already knew about them thanks to him. "That Edgeworth... is a good man... I'm sure... that Byrne would say the same..." The former detective had been quite chill about it. "But, if he ever hurts her, no prison will hold me back!"
