Gumshoe paid a visit to Edgeworth's office.
"Wright is taking the case?"
"Yes. Maya's made a recovery. She told him to do it."
"Good. It's been a while since I've faced Wright. Soon I'll see how he's grown."
Gumshoe sat down to drink the coffee he'd brought with him. Edgeworth sipped his tea as he looked out of the window.
Gumshoe turned towards Edgeworth. "What do you know about Mr. Grape?"
"Not much. But anyone who was that close to Portsman is suspicious." He stirred his tea. "I actually have a file on him in the safe." Edgeworth removed the framed jacket from the wall. "Can you turn around, please?"
Gumshoe turned away while Edgeworth entered the code. Opening the safe, he found Kat Faraday, his partner from the recent incident, hiding inside.
"KAY?!"
Gumshoe turned around, only to see Kay lunging at him from the safe, embracing him in a hug.
"Gummy! It's so great to see you!"
Edgeworth crossed his arms. "Kay, what on Earth are you doing here?"
"I was trying to surprise you. Duh!"
"How did you get into my safe?"
"A thief never reveals her secrets. Especially the Yatagarasu."
"Kay, you haven't even stolen anything yet."
"Well if you feel that way, then fine. I'm going."
Kay ran out of the room.
Edgeworth sighed. "You need to keep her under control."
He peered into the safe, seeing that the files were gone.
Edgeworth and Gumshoe both ran out of the office, shouting after Kay.

Kay decided to stay at Edgeworth's for a while. She sat in the couch watching TV, wrapped in a blanket.
"Kay, you can't just run away like that."
"Why not?" She stuck out her tongue.
"Because you might get hurt. Who knows?"
"Why are you so concerned? I can handle myself."
"Because you're still young."
"I'm 18. I'll be fine."
"Just don't risk your life finding the truth, that's my job." Edgeworth looked at his watch. "I'm going to bed. Where will you be sleeping?"
Kay snuggled up in the blanket. "I'll sleep here."
"Okay" He stood up and patted her on the shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow."
After Edgeworth left, Kay's face reddended. It seemed like Edgeworth warmed up for a bit. Was he acting different because of her? Kay turned off the TV, and went to sleep.
