Chapter 1: Grey Skies

Location:Los Angeles- Jail Cell Interior-7th October-8:30am

(Sharp banging on the cell door and the door then opens)

Guard: Wakey Wakey sleepy head, your free to go some guy outside just posted your bail.

(The inmate awakes in a slow and painful fashion)

Grey: huh...My head is killing, slow down a sec... Urrggh

Guard: like i said, you're free to go

Grey: Sure i am, and who said the American police don't have a sense of humour.

(Grey proceeds to roll back over and sleep)

Guard: The hell is wrong with this guy...

(Closes the cell door and leaves for the front entrance)

Location: Los Angeles Police station Main Entrance-8:36am

Guard: I don't know why you'd want to bail that asshole out; if i were you I'd keep my money.

?: Regardless of his attitude he's actually a person of great status in the world of prosecutors, Ash Grey, otherwise known as The Blade Of Britain, it was said he single handily kept the dark age of law away from the British courts.

Guard: Well all i see right now is a lousy drunk who decided to assault 3 members of the police department.

?: Well it seems for a man who lost his way; he still has a fighting spirit if you will.

Guard: well you posted his bail, so I'm guessing you'll want me to take you to his cell and you two can leave?

?: I'd appreciate that, after you then

Location: Jail Cell Interior-8:47am

(Guard bangs on the door and opens it and enters the cell, ? follows the guard inside)

Guard: Mr. grey , i have someone to see you

(Shakes the sleeping grey)

Guard: You awake?

Grey: Firstly i don't care whose here to see me and secondly, if you couldn't tell I'm wide awake now

?: Ah full of what you brits would refer to as piss and vinegar aren't you ?

Grey: Bah, what's it to you, besides i don't really care what you think.

Guard: Sir, I'll be waiting outside when you're ready to leave(exits to outside the room)

?: i know why your upset, it's because i got you up and didn't even have the decency to introduce myself isn't it even though you don't really care who i am?

Grey: Correct, let's get a gold star for the plum suit wearing idiot.

?: well actually it's burgundy, but what's really interesting is I'm glaring at you and you haven't budged an inch, I'm impressed and i can say that i don't say that often, well i guess i shall give you the pleasure of my name, i am miles edgeworth and I'm the chief prosecutor of the Los Angeles courts.

Grey: and what do i owe the honour of this visit your majesty

Edgeworth: (ignoring grey's sarcastic tone) well quite frankly i really don't like the idea of a prosecutor or in your case a former prosecutor going on trial, as you know we ourselves recently left the era know as the dark age of law and considering we've only just gotten the trust of the people back, i don't need you ruining the hard work of myself and so many others.

Grey: that's real noble of you, how do you know i won't just wind up here again?

Edgeworth: well that's rather simple, I'm going to make you an offer, you can either leave here to today and the charges against you will be dropped or you can rot in here and I'll see you in court and considering what you did, you're going to be in jail for at least 5 years with no chance of parole.

Grey: But let me guess if i leave today i have to do something for you, right?

Edgeworth: You catch on quick, grey, if you leave today then you have to come and work for me as a prosecutor of the courts

Grey: Are you out of your mind?

Edgeworth: I might be but i consider you to still have some use to the world, if i didn't i wouldn't have bothered coming down here to bail you out.

Grey: considering the awakening I've had this morning i don't feel i could take another 5 years of it, so then Chief Prosecutor count me in.

Edgeworth: i figured you'd see it that way, well then Mr. grey shall we leave?

Grey: well what are we waiting for, let's go
