Welcome back everyone to more of "The Continuous Objection!" I was tempted not to do a chapter because I've been…addicted to Japanese anime. Anyways, enjoy the chapter. And WARNING! Major character death. (Not a Capcom character) I know you guys won't like it, but it has to be done.
Phoenix silently ate his burger. Phoenix should have felt happy. He had just won a case which saved his client form further time in prison, but the place where Maya forced him to eat at dampened his mood. As soon as they entered the restaurant, Lloyd had never left Maya's side, and that was starting to annoy Phoenix. After what seemed "Sorry Lloyd, I have to go to back to the office with Phoenix. I'll call you later."
Lloyd smiled. "Sure thing Maya. Just don't expect me to wait too long to hear your voice again."
Sheesh, can they get any more lovey-dovey?
"Don't worry, I'll call you tonight."
Please tell me that I'll be gone from the office when that happens.
"Come on Maya, we need to go."
"Sheesh, what's the rush Phoenix?"
"I just want to get to the office and relax. Is that too much to ask for?"
Maya smirked. My plan is starting to work. It's only a matter of time…
"Fine Phoenix, let's go."
Lloyd called out as they were leaving, "See you later Maya! Looking forward to tonight!"
Gag!
When they finally made it back to the office, Phoenix basically charged to his office. Sighing, Phoenix collapsed into his chair. "At least I managed to get Tanya a not guilty." Getting back up from his chair, Phoenix went to the living room, to see Pearl and Trucy watching tv. Pearl noticed Phoenix first. "Mr. Nick! How did the trial go?"
"Didn't you watch it?"
"No, 'The Pink Princess' reruns were running. I couldn't resist watching them."
Phoenix smirked. "Anyways, the trial went well. I managed to get her a not guilty."
"That's good! Wasn't she the one who was convicted before?"
"Yep. However, I'm sure that the trial will come up again."
Trucy finally popped in. "Why's that Daddy?"
"I never proved her motive. I'm sure that will come back to bite me in the future."
"Hopefully that doesn't happen Mr. Nick. Oh, did you confess to Maya yet?"
"Why do you keep asking me that Pearls?"
"Because I want Mystic Maya to be happy."
Phoenix smirked. "Well, she's quite happy with Lloyd right now."
"You don't have to remind me of that…"
Phoenix smiled and sat down to watch tv with them. Finally, Pearl decided to switch it to the news. Much to Phoenix's enjoymet, they were not happy. "…and that's why I think that the trial was rigged."
"I agree. Obviously, Tanya was guilty and deserved to be in prison. I can't believe that the court was fooled by Phoenix Wright's dirty tricks."
I guess that I'm a dirty lawyer again. Phoenix continued to smile however. Finally, the news channel decided to go to different news. Suddenly, Phoenix heard a familiar voice call out to him. "So, it seems you're popular with the news channel Phoenix Wright."
Turning over, Phoenix saw Jonathan standing in the doorway. "Jonathan. Didn't expect to see you any time soon."
"I was in the neighborhood and decided to drop by. Anyways, congratulations on your trial today. I'm sure you didn't notice me in the crowd."
"You were there?"
"Yep. I decided to see what you were up to. Looks like Maya saved you again."
Phoenix smiled. "She did. I wouldn't have won the trial in the trial if it wasn't for her…"
After a brief pause, Jonathan asked Phoenix, "So…when are you going to tell her?"
"Huh?"
"I can tell how you feel about her. I blew my chance with her. Don't blow your chance."
"I…how…"
"Just don't blow it. I need to get going. I have a reservation at a fancy restaurant and I need to get ready."
"Oh? Who are you going with?"
Jonathan only smirked and left the office. After a while, Phoenix heard his office phone ring. Quickly getting up, Phoenix ran to his office and answered the phone. "Wright Anything Agency."
"…so it looks like you managed to survive a pitiful trial."
"Uh…who is this?"
"This is of no concern to you."
Sounds just like the Engarde case…
"However, I will tell you to watch your back."
"Is that a threat?"
"I could be…depends how you take it."
"What do you mean?"
"Mainly, the threat isn't to you, it's to that stupid assistant of yours."
"Maya?"
"Who else dummy? Let me tell you this, Maya doesn't deserve to be the Master of Kurain Village…and she won't be for long."
"But…"
"I know what you're thinking. You didn't end our plot with Jonathan's siblings getting arrested. Don't worry, he doesn't know that we're plotting something. However, watch your backs." With that, the line went dead.
Lloyd was finishing up his shift for work. After the clock hit four thirty and he was finishing up last minute orders. After finally finishing the last order, Lloyd clocked out and gathered his belongings. After telling the boss he would see him tomorrow, Lloyd left Mac's Burgers whistling a tune to himself. Unlocking his car, Lloyd started the car and drove to his apartment. Walking into his apartment, Lloyd set his things down and went to the kitchen. After washing his hands, Lloyd was about to watch tv when he heard a voice behind him. "So…this is the Master's boyfriend."
Surprised, Lloyd turned around to see a masked man behind him. "It pains me to kill you, but we need to show them that we mean business."
"Who…who's they?"
"Why, your friend Phoenix and Maya of course."
Why them?
"We need to get a message across to them." Taking a few steps forward, the masked man continued. "The best method, killing the person Maya is using."
"Using?"
Taking another small step forward, the masked man smirked. "Haven't you noticed? Phoenix is in love with Maya. Maya knows this, but is unsuccessful in trying to get Phoenix to confess to her. So, she chose you to make Phoenix jealous."
Taking another step forward, the masked man finally said. "Well, at least you'll die knowing the truth." Suddenly the man pulled out a knife and charged at Lloyd. Lloyd managed to dodge him. Sprinting to the kitchen, Lloyd picked up his own knife. "I'll give you one chance, leave now and I won't kill you!"
The masked man only laughed. "Sorry my friend, but that's not an option." Charging forward again, the masked man managed to knock Lloyd over, sending his knife flying away from his hands. The masked man lifted his own knife to stab Lloyd, but Lloyd kneed him in the crotch. Groaning in pain, the masked man quickly recovered. Instead of charging, the masked man walked up to Lloyd and tried to punch him. Lloyd dodged a few of them before a right cross hit him in the midsection, followed by a kick to the gut. Grunting, Lloyd was shoved against the cabinets. The masked man roughly grabbed Lloyd. "No hurt feelings right?" With that, the masked man repeatedly stabbed Lloyd, until he heard Lloyd's last breath escape his lips.
And that's your chapter. Sorry Lloyd, but your death had to be there. Anyways, thanks for reading and don't forget to review, even though I guarantee you guys won't like him dying.
