Chapter 2: Grey Skies Turn Blue
Location: Los Angeles Police Department Tagging Office-7th October-9:38am
Tagging Officer: , within your bail conditions it states that if the posting of bail is done for you then you must be given a tracking monitor for a certain duration of time, it also allows us to see where you are at any given time, so if you break your bail conditions it's right back here and you will go to jail.
Grey: so when you say certain duration of time, how long are we talking here?
Tagging Officer: well in your case , the tracking monitor will be kept on you for 6 months
Grey: Six Months, Gott verdammt, just when things were going my way, but anyway, where did the chief prosecutor go?
Tagging Officer: What, did you expect him to hang around for you or something, the guy is a busy man, the only reason he came down here this morning is to explain the situation to you but he did leave an envelope to give to you when i had finished installing the device
Grey: i see, well then you better get installing the monitor then, sounds like I'm going to be busy for the next few days, sore wa so
Tagging Officer: I'm sorry, didn't quite catch that last part, Mr. Grey?
Grey: Sore Wa So, a literal translation would be it seems, if i remember correctly, i has been a while since i last spoke Japanese and I've had many drinks since then
Tagging Officer: so you speak Japanese?
Grey: Japanese, German, French, mandarin and I've been known to dabble in some Spanish from time to time
Tagging Officer: I'll be honest I've heard a few rumours about you from the guard on the front desk today; he says you were some big-shot prosecutor back where you're from?
Grey: i was but things happened which caused me to no longer be able to perform my job properly.
Tagging Officer: actually I'm slightly curious about you myself, it's not often we get big-shots in here and honestly you seem like a decent enough guy
Grey: Well i guess i can tell you a little about myself to help pass the time, I'm originally from Nottingham in England, and i studied law for 3 years of law at the best university in the country, took my bar exam to be a lawyer and found i enjoyed it but often I'd have to defend people i couldn't stand and i didn't get to pick my cases because i worked for an idiot, so i quit and decided to take the bar exam again but this time to be a prosecutor.
Tagging Officer: That's actually pretty interesting, so if you wanted to you could also be a lawyer if you chose to be at some point if you wanted to?
Grey: well i am qualified to do so, but i doubt I'll ever actually do anything like that again.
Tagging Officer: well that's a shame but i guess that's how the cookie crumbles my friend
Grey: thanks for the pity, honestly you're the first guy I've met since I've been here i haven't felt the compulsive urge to punch in the face.
Tagging Officer: hahaha really, well I'm glad about that then, most guys i stick these monitors to don't talk or it's all swearing and telling me how the police hate them and discriminate against them
Grey: sounds like a fun job; it's not as high pressure as being a lawyer or a prosecutor i guess.
Tagging Officer: (clicks the final clip into place) well there you go, your all hooked up to the network, that'll be $14.95 plus the $50 installation fee, Mr. Grey.
Grey: And you wonder why people hate the police (lets out a small laugh)
Tagging Officer: well it's been nice getting to know your Mr. Grey or should i say prosecutor grey
Grey: I guess it has, I'm sorry i 'don't believe i asked your name
Tagging Officer: it's Harry, Harry Smith, and I'm hoping one day to move up to the rank of detective
Grey: sounds like an admirable goal; hopefully we'll work together someday
Harry: Sure i mean i only joined the force about a month back but something tells me I'll be out there investigating real soon.
Grey: well then detective smith we'll meet again (proceeds to leave)
Harry: wait a sec, i need to give you this envelope (gives the envelope to grey)
Grey: i wonder what the Burgundy buffoon left me in here (opens the envelope)
(The note inside read as follows)
Dear Grey,
Sorry about my abrupt departure, however i have decided to leave you in some very capable hands, realising you'll be taking your first case pretty soon, i think you'll be needing a suit, heaven knows you'll be prosecuting wearing those rags
When you leave the building, you will see a girl wearing a blue magician's hat, she is your babysitter for the day if you will, and her father owes me a favour so treat her well.
Here are your instructions for today
Buy a suit and shoes
Then
Buy a briefcase
And then the young lady will escort you to the courthouse where you'll meet myself and the other prosecutors
Have fun
Edgeworth
Grey: ignorant dick, honestly if he weren't my boss right now I'd kick his ass so hard... (Calms down) well he's not here so i can't do it but when he's not looking, POW right in the kisser.
Harry: well at least your boss has a sense of humour
Grey: Eat s*** and die asswipe
Harry: awww and i thought we were getting along but anyway it's best not to keep a lady waiting Prosecutor
Grey: i guess your right, i better go find this girl, something tells me it's gonna be a long day.
Location: Los Angeles Police Department Front Entrance-10:17 am
Harry: well Prosecutor I'll be seeing you around, if you need me for anything then call the building and ask them to put you through to me.
Grey: i appreciate that, see you around detective
Harry: see ya around.
(Grey looks around the entrance and sees a girl with a blue magicians doing magic and decides to go and watch)
Grey: Excuse me, I'm looking for someone
?: and who might you be looking for?
Grey: well according to this note I'm looking a for girl in a blue magicians hat
?: oh well you must be the person prosecutor Edgeworth wanted me to babysit today
Grey: I'm taller than you short stuff
?: i guess was right, you do have a chip on your shoulder but no matter because, i Trucy Wright, child of magic shall thaw your frozen soul
Grey: i doubt that immensely, wait a second you said your name last name was Wright?
Trucy: of course, my daddy is the famous lawyer Phoenix Wright
Grey: (jaw drops) your the daughter of that guy, (regaining composure) well if I'd known i would have been a little more hospitable.
Trucy: It shouldn't matter who's child i am, you should treat everyone with respect.
Grey: i see well aren't you strong, well i guess i should introduce myself, my name is ash grey, it's a pleasure to me you
Trucy: I should think so, well Mr. Grey, we have lot's to do today thanks to so let's go(runs out the building)
Grey: (sighs) kids nowadays so full of energy, I'm 27 and i can't remember ever being that energetic, hey trucy wait...
