Fyras14: Chapter ten is early, today! This chapter is quite short, but it finally explains who the culprit really is. I hope you all enjoy this rather short chapter. I threw in some random Edgeworth and Lana conversation into the mix, I hope you don't mind. Next week's chapter will be longer, you can count on that!

Please read and review, or criticize, whichever comes first.

Chapter 10: Health Hazard

The last thing that Apollo had expected to see once he and Trucy arrived at the agency was a happy Phoenix Wright, with a huge stack of papers in the desk in front of him. "Well, well…it is about time you kids got here," Phoenix greeted, a smile sliding in his features.

"Daddy, what's all this? Don't tell me you have homework!" Trucy said, looking worriedly at the grown man before her. Phoenix laugh and shook his head.

"Actually, it is homework…but of the good kind…" Apollo raised an eyebrow at the man.

"Of the good kind?"

"Yep." Phoenix pointed to the stack of papers. "Those are very special documents, detailing each and every single worker of Caduceus Europe."

"Eh?" Apollo stared at the stack of papers in the table and blinked. Had Phoenix just told them that he held documents with the private information of the employees of Caduceus Europe? "But, how?"

"Oh, I have my ways."

"Who did you bribe?" Phoenix smiled at Apollo's silly question.

"Someone…well, as you two already know, the case with Caduceus Europe is extremely sensitive…even if it relates to Stiles' case, the government will take care of it."

"But, aren't we doing something illegal by reading personal information of an employee?" Apollo asked the older man.

"Not really. Caduceus Europe was forced to release all the information about their operations, workers, and all that stuff to the police, both from there and here." The ex-attorney explained. "While you guys were away in your little trek, I stopped by Prosecutor Gavin's office and asked him to get the info…as you can see, waiting almost half an hour really was worth it, and as you can see, the result…more than a thousand files for us to read…won't this be fun?"

"A…"

"…thousand, daddy?" Apollo and Trucy exchanged glances, and then looked back at the stack of papers that stood in the only table of the Wright Anything Agency.

"Well, this certainly will take the fun out of lunch…" All three sat down, and began to grab papers to read.

Lana looked back at Edgeworth as the prosecutor kindly filled her cup with tea. She mouthed a small thanks before she took a sip. Honey and water mixed together in her mouth, before she gulped the sweetness down. Edgeworth nodded back at her, and took a sip of his own cup of tea. "I hear that the case is going well," Lana began, putting the cup down.

"Yes. It seems the defense found a lot of good evidence to back up their claims…unfortunately, they still have no suspects to speak of."

"Oh, I'm very sure the suspects will show up, eventually," Lana assured him with a small smile. "Having him working on the case always brings out surprises…"

"Wright, eh? So, he's the one that sent that Justice lawyer?"

"It would seem so…he could have helped, but he was busy with his own investigation….he has changed a lot, Miles…." Lana told him, smiling sadly. "Life no longer holds it easy for him, nor for you for that matter."

"…yet, he had it harder…he was accus--"

"…accused of a crime he didn't commit, I know," the woman finished, nodding. "Even so with all that fire on his hide, he managed to keep going…to seek the truth…I don't doubt that he'll do the same for this Dr. Stiles, man. Truth as they say, makes the world go 'round and 'round."

"I…I guess you're right…but, now…its more than truth that we need to solve this case…but, a miracle…"

Apollo sighed as he threw another file to the ground, his eyes weary for reading a lot. Next to him, Trucy and Phoenix fared no better. The young magician had let go of her cape and hat, to better read the letters. Her father next to her had taken off his beanie, revealing his spiky and untamed hair, plus his jacket, throwing it to the sofa close by. The attorney glance at the clock. It was about to hit midnight. He mentally groaned. After reading over six hundred documents for the past six hours straight, and still they found nothing. Trucy yawned as she let another pair of documents fall to the ground, her father looked at her with weary eyes, and then turned to Apollo, who had just finished reading another document before letting it fall to the ground.

"What do you kids say we call it a night?" Phoenix asked them, glancing back at the still tall stack at papers that sat nearby. "…we still have a long way to go, though…so, what do you say we continue tomorrow?" Trucy gave a tired nod, and turned to Apollo.

"One last one and then I can collapse," he told him, before he opened the next document. His eyes scanned the document for a while, and then, they were wide in shock. Phoenix noticed his action, and asked him worriedly:

"Something wrong?" Apollo only showed him the document. It read:

Name: Rob Knoller

Occupation: Caduceus Europe Security Guard

Age: 29(at time of Employment), 34(at time worker left company)

Years Active in Company: 5

Just before the document even began, the picture of that same Rob that Trucy and Apollo had met in Caduceus USA was present, giving his best serious face at the camera, but hiding true malice.
