Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices

Emma ran up to the door of the Wright & Co. Law Offices. Not anymore… She thought, a frown on her face. She knocked on the door and yawned. She had been up for over 24 hours now and was running on caffeine from the recent energy drink she bought at the airport.

When the door opened, she came face to face with a face she hadn't seen in 7 years. Her older brother, Phoenix Wright. He looked as tired as her and was dressed in clothing that made him look like a hobo. His eyes widened when he recognised who was outside the door, mouth gaping.

"Emma!? What… How…" His voice trailed off as he looked down at the floor. Emma stepped forward and gave her brother a hug.

"It's okay Nicki, it's okay…" Emma said. She pulled back and gave her brother a small smile. Phoenix returned the smile and invited Emma into the office. When Emma stepped inside, the first thing she noticed was a young girl in red. Emma cocked her head at the girl, before walking over to her and crouching down to her height to talk.

"Hey there." She said. The young girl looked at Emma and smiled. "I'm Emma. Emma Wright, that idiots little sister." At that comment Phoenix shouted "Hey!" while the little girl giggled and put out her hand for Emma to shake.

"Trucy Gramarye. Well, I suppose it will be Trucy Wright soon, so you would be my Auntie Emma! That's awesome! I've never had an auntie before!" Trucy started bouncing up and down slightly while Emma just stared at her in shock.

"You say what now?!" Emma managed to get out of her mouth. Trucy grinned at her.

"You know, my new Daddy is your brother so that would make you my new auntie!" She said, as if it was the easiest thing to understand in the world. Emma nodded slowly before getting up and going to sit on the couch. She put her feet up on the coffee table and crossed her arms before looking at Phoenix.

"Seems like you got some more explaining to do my dear brother…" She lifted an eyebrow at him and smirked. Phoenix sighed and sat next to her, allowing Trucy to sit in the middle.

"Okay so it all started when I was asked to play a game of poker…"

It was the evening by the time Phoenix had finished explaining what had happened. Emma was upside down, with her legs hanging over the back of the sofa, eyes closed. She sighed and opened her eyes to look over at her brother. Trucy had fallen asleep during the conversation.

"So, you think Gavin had something to do with it?" Emma asked. Phoenix sighed and nodded his head.

"I believe so. What I'm going to do is make friends with him, make him believe I trust him."

"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer, right?" Emma interrupted, smirking up at her brother, who chuckled and nodded. Emma sighed and looked up at the ceiling before getting up and stood in front of Phoenix.

"Okay, you do that and continue to investigate as much as you can. I will go over to the Prosecutors office and make sure I am able to work as both defence and prosecution over here in America. I can't move back yet as I have other work and other stuff back in Europe. I will also see if I can get any more information on the Gramarye case to see if I can spot anything." Emma said, pacing up and down in front of the sofa. Phoenix nodded his head in agreement.

"Sounds good. I will question the Bailiff, Drew Misham and Valant Gramarye, see if I can get any more information on what happened to Zak and who asked for the forged page." He tapped the smiley face badge on his hoodie. "This will catch any information that may be useful." Emma nodded, still pacing.

"Good, good. Well, I will be here for the rest of the week. I will need to get a hotel room, my stuff is still stored in my rental car. You good on your apartment?" Emma stopped and looked over at Phoenix, who was scratching the back of his neck, looking a bit sheepish.

"Umm… Well me and Truce may or may not be living… Here now?" He said, as if it was a question. Emma just stared at him before rolling her eyes and slapping her forehead with her hand.

"NICKI! SERIOUSLY?!" She shouted. Trucy woke up when she heard her new auntie shouting at her new daddy. She looked around sleepily and saw her aunt staring down at her dad with an angry look on her face. Her new father was looking at the floor, sheepishly.

"Auntie Emma? Why are you shouting at Daddy?" She asked. Emma looked over at Trucy and gave her a smile.

"Don't worry Truce. Your Dad was just being an idiot," Emma looked over at Phoenix. "As usual." Phoenix gave Emma a fake glare, causing her to laugh. Trucy smiled at this. Then she had a bright idea, and jumped up off the sofa.

"Auntie Emma, there is someone else you should meet." She said. Emma looked at her, with an eyebrow raised. In the corner of her eye, she saw Phoenix smirk and his eyes light up slightly. Suddenly a large wooden puppet pops out of the back of Trucy's cape and takes her hat to wear.

"Hello Ms Emma! I'm Mr Hat, nice to meet you!" Emma jumped and stumbled back with wide eyes, mouth open. Phoenix started laughing his head off and Trucy giggled. Emma regained her balance and shook her head in amusement and smiled.

"Well… Errr… Nice to meet you to, um, Mr Hat…" Emma replied, while scratching the back of her neck. She looked at her brother and new niece and sighed before laughing along with them.

At least Nicki won't be alone when I go to Europe. Emma thought. Got to try to get as much information as I can before I go back…

Please tell me what you think and review! :)
