Time for chapter 2 of "The Continuous Objection!" To the guest reviewer of "Objection!" Two things. 1: I can't publish it even if I wanted to. I don't own any rights to the Phoenix Wright series. 2: I know that he didn't confess. I planned on that. Not really much to say besides that…so here you guys go.

Phoenix was still looking over court files when Pearl entered his office. "Mr. Nick, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it Pearls?"

"Um…when are you going to tell Maya how you feel?"

Phoenix smiled. "You seem to ask that question a lot. Anyways…not for a little bit."

"How long is a 'little bit'."

"Uh…I don't know…about a week?"

"A week?! Why can't you do it now!?"

"Just…because." (or the fact that the author as a plan about this)

"I…I see. Just don't wait too long Mr. Nick." With that, Pearl left the room. Sighing, Phoenix collapsed into the chair behind his desk, letting his mind roam to after the court trial. Should I have told her? Did I make the right choice? Phoenix was jolted from these thoughts when the phone in the office rang. "Wright Anything Agency."

"Is this Phoenix Wright?"

"Yes it is. Who's calling?"

"My name is Tanya Joy. I was arrested…for murder."

"Murder?"

"Yes. I need a lawyer and the security guard recommended you."

"Okay, do you want me to come over to discuss the details of the case?"

"I have nothing else to do, so sure."

"Alright, I'll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Phoenix took a suit out of the closet in his office, put it on, then left the office. Before he left, Phoenix popped his head into Apollo's office. "Apollo, I'm gonna be gone for a while, just got another case. If I'm not here by dinner, go buy burgers or something. I left money for you on the counter in the kitchen."

"Okay Mr. Wright." (Opinion time: Do you think I should do a side-series about Apollo and what he is up to during this story? I know I haven't done much with him in the series, so I was considering doing a whole series dedicated to him. Let me know)

Phoenix left Apollo's office and went to the detention center. After telling the guard that he got a new client, Phoenix waited until he was allowed to visit Tanya. Going into the visitor's room, Phoenix sat down and waited until they brought her in. Finally, she was escorted into the room. Picking up the telephone, Phoenix could tell she was tired. "You're Phoenix Wright?"

"Yes I am. You must be Tanya?"

"Yeah…I am."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"I was in my apartment when I heard shouting from my neighbors. After a while, I banged on the wall to tell them to shut up. Seconds later, I heard a series of bangs, followed by running. Leaving my apartment, I went into the hallway, to see the door to my neighbor's place open. Going inside, I saw bullet holes in the walls. Walking farther inside, I stumbled upon the body of Ned Gilgam, my neighbor. I saw a gun next to him and…I picked it up."

"You WHAT?!"

"I know now that that was a stupid move. However, I went to the telephone and called the police. When they arrived, they investigated the crime scene. This one detective in a lab coat brought a finger print analyzer with her and did some prints on the gun. As you can guess…she found my finger prints. I tried to explain to them what had happened, but they wouldn't listen to me. The only one who did was the detective lady who actually found my fingerprints. After roughly putting me into a police car and driving me here, I was given one call. I called my family, asking them to find me a lawyer. When the asked why, I told them what had happened. However…they wouldn't…they wouldn't believe me. They told me that I was a murderer and that I should die for what I did." With that, Tanya broke down into tears.

"I'm sorry about what happened between you and your family, but how did you contact me since you were give only one call?"

"A—After I explained to the guard what had happened, he took pity on me. He gave me another call, with a number to call, saying that if anyone were to save me…it would be the lawyer who owned the number."

"Which was me, I suppose."

"Yes. After I called you, the guard told me all about your law career, including your case which just ended yesterday."

"I see…is that all?"

"Yes it is. So…will you help me? I have no one else to turn to…"

"Don't worry Tanya. I'll get you a complete acquittal."

"Thank you so much Mr. Wright! Thank you. You're the only other person besides the guard who believed me."

Phoenix smiled. "And I'll believe in you until the end. Now tell me where you lived so I can go investigate." After Tanya told Phoenix the address, Phoenix nodded, told her that he would do everything legally possible to get her an acquittal, then left the detention center. Minutes later, he arrived at the apartment complex "Swindal Apartments." After getting out of the cab and paying the driver, Phoenix went to the room where Phoenix told him she lived. Going one room farther, he entered the crime scene. An officer immediately spotted him. "Hey, no authorized access beyond this point!"

"Sorry, but I'm a lawyer for—"

"I don't care if you're a lawyer, you have no right to be on the—"

"Silence officer!"

Looking to the left, Phoenix saw Ema Skye walk into the room. "I just received word from the precinct that he is the lawyer for the defendant. He has a right to be in here to help defend his client."

After giving Phoenix a cold stare, the officer left to another room.

"Sorry about that Mr. Wright. He gets moody every once in a while."

"I can tell. So you're the detective in charge?"

"Yep. I've also been forced into testifying for the prosecution tomorrow…sadly."

"You don't believe she's guilty?"

"She's innocent. I have a gut feeling she's innocent. *crunch* but all because of the prints on the gun, everyone is claiming she's guilty."

"Did she tell you why she was innocent?"

"She tried, before officers shoved her off into custody." Phoenix then explained the situation to Ema. "I *crunch* see. Well, anyways, they already did an autopsy on the victim." Handing Phoenix the autopsy report, Phoenix put it into his briefcase. "Thanks Ema."

"No problem. I'm probably getting in the way of your investigating, so I'll step aside." With that, Ema walked off. Looking around the room, he saw five bullet holes in the wall. Taking out a camera he brought with him, Phoenix took a picture, along with eight bullet casings on the floor. Looking around, Phoenix saw that the apartment was complete mess, with pizza boxes spread throughout the room. Taking a picture of the whole room, Phoenix saw something shiny on the floor. Going over to it, Phoenix saw that it was an engagement ring. I wonder why this is here. After taking a picture of it, Phoenix decided that that would all he would be able to get out of this investigation, since the investigation by the police wasn't complete. After telling Ema goodbye, Phoenix left the building and headed back to the office.

And that ends chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review. Also, during your review, please tell me if you would be interested in what Apollo has been up to.
