PROMPT: APOLLO HAS BEEN SNEAKING OUT, AND TRUCY FINDS OUT WHY…

"Polly! I hope you haven't fallen asleep at your desk again!"

Trucy called out to her half-brother as she opened the door to the Wright Anything Agency, carrying the pizza box she had bought for him.

"It's late, Polly! 10 PM! Daddy sent me to make sure you're okay," Trucy called out as she approached Apollo's desk. She was in her casual attire off a loose shirt and jeans. In all honesty, she was worried about him. He had stayed pretty damn late, and Trucy believed he probably passed out at his desk.

"I bought pizza!" She called out. He needed some sort of motivation. She placed the pizza on Phoenix's desk to empty her hands she finally started walking towards Apollo's office.

"Polly, c'mon! I'm pretty sure you would've woken up by now!" Trucy called out in a slightly worried tone. Apollo had been volunteering to stay late at the agency a lot in the past week or so, and Trucy was starting to become curious and worried as to why.

"Polly?"

Trucy turned the corner to find an empty desk. Her eyes widened and she gasped. He was gone. Maybe he went back to his apartment? That was probably the most logical thing. He had a stack of written papers on his desk, and what seemed to be a picture of him and Clay in the corner of his desk. Trucy opened his desk drawer to find… A bottle of Jim Bean?

Clay had only died just last month. He was probably still grieving, but Trucy knew this was no way to do it. She had to empty this. She ran to the agency door, stopping at one point to grab the pizza and put it on Apollo's desk. She sprinted out the door of the agency, before unscrewing the lid on the alcoholic beverage, and tipping it out on the sidewalk.

That's when she saw him.

Apollo, far away in the distance, walking somewhere. It was the complete opposite direction of his apartment. Trucy narrowed her eyes, thinking. Where could he be going? She threw the glass bottle away, before taking off after her half-brother.

Trucy started to sneak. Apollo would never spill the beans on where he was going, so she had to follow him. She racked her brains for ideas, but nothing came to mind as to where he was going. Trucy crouched, sneaking behind the red attorney and hiding behind every piece of cover she could get.

Finally, she saw where he was going.

An orphanage.

Trucy was confused. Why an orphanage? She decided to ask questions later. Apollo went through the front door of the agency, and Trucy waited a minute before following. She saw a kind woman at the desk, and she approached her.

"Did… Did Apollo Justice come here? Where is he?" Trucy asked.

"Just a minute ago. He's upstairs with the boys," The lady explained as she pointed towards the wooden stairs. 'Is… Is Polly thinking of adopting a boy? Who would be the mom?'

Trucy jogged up the stairs, her hand on the railing. She looked at the signs, and saw the boys were third floor, just above the girls. Trucy finally reached the third floor, and proceeded down the long alleyway of doors. She slowly creaked open each one, only to find sleeping young boys in each one of them. Eventually, Trucy reached the room in which the red headed attorney sat at the side of a boy who was awake. He held a book in his hands, a small one, meant for children. Apollo saw the door creaking open, and his voice cut when he saw the young Trucy.

"S-sorry, Nicky. I'll be right…" Apollo's voice trailed off as he saw Trucy shaking her head, signalling to Apollo to continue his story. Trucy closed the door as Apollo continued reading, and she leant against the wall, her arms crossed as she heard the soothing lawyer's voice inside the sleeping boys room. She smiled.

Apollo Justice, the tough, grieving lawyer, was visiting an orphanage, and helping the kids. Trucy couldn't be any more proud of Apollo. She heard the door open, and the odd haired man stepped out.

"Listen, Truce, I'm sorry for-"

He was cut off by Trucy throwing her arms around him, hugging him tight. He awkwardly returned the hug, smiling.

"You're amazing, Polly…"

"Thanks, Truce."
