Gourd Lake Park

Entrance, 3:00 PM

Phoenix's POV

Gumshoe: Hey, pal! Long time no see!

Maya: Oh! Detective Gumshoe!

Gumshoe: Close one today, eh! I got so worked up, I snapped my tie in half!

Phoenix: Uh… Sorry about that.

Gumshoe: No prob, pal! Thanks to you, we now know who really did it!

Maya: You mean, the boat shop caretaker?

Gumshoe: Look, I'll make you a promise. I'll have that scoundrel in my custody by trial time tomorrow! Come what may! It's my duty to you as a police officer! Now, I'm off to catch me a criminal!

Maya: … Detective Gumshoe sure is… active today.

Gumshoe: Oh, and two things!

Maya: Eek!

Gumshoe: One, Chief Bogo and his team are here today investigating the boat shop, I'm sure they'll want to ask you some questions. Another thing, no one can go into the woods today.

Maya: The woods?

Phoenix (Thinking): Where Lotta was camping?

Gumshoe: The woods are off-limits to camping, and apparently the park ranger found out. He got pretty mad. No one can go in for a while.

Maya: I guess Lotta's in a 'lotta' trouble…

Gumshoe: Anyway, I'll be seeing you tomorrow!

Phoenix: … Okay… well at least someone's passion about their job.

Boat Rental Shop, 3:10 PM

Maya: Hey, hey, Nick! There's Chief Bogo!

Phoenix: I wonder who that person he's talking do is.

Bogo: Are you positive?

?: As positive as I can be. I don't know who that caretaker his, but I believe my hunch may be right.

Bogo: I see, thank you, for your help.

?: Anytime.

Maya: What, is that… Mr. Grossberg?

Grossberg: Ah hah, hello. What might you be doing here? Out for a walk, hmm? "Ahh… the days of my youth… like the scent of fresh lemon…" you see.

Maya: Mr. Grossberg! This is no time for idle reminiscing! Mr. Edgeworth's trial ends tomorrow!

Grossberg: Er… that is true, yes. But, from what I saw of today's trial, Edgeworth should be fine, right?

Phoenix: Well… I'm not so sure about that.

Grossberg: Ho ho! What do you mean by that?

Phoenix: Well… I'm not sure.

Grossberg: … Well I'm off, if either of you find anything out, come by my office at once. I may be able to off you some assistance.

Phoenix: Thanks… Hello Chief.

Bogo: Good day, Mr. Wright. I must congratulate you at your performance today at the trial.

Phoenix: Thanks. So I take it your team is looking for clues?

McHorn: Sir! You might want to come in here sir!

Caretaker's Shack, 3:20 PM

McHorn: We've found this here safe sir, but we're having a hard time figuring out the combination to it.

Maya: I know how to get it open! Polly, Polly, what's the number to the safe?

Polly: *squawk* 1228…! 1228…!

Bogo: Well I'll be.

McHorn: 12…28… Got it!

Bogo: Well, anything?

McHorn: Not much. Just a piece of paper.

Phoenix: May I see that?

McHorn leaned me the piece of paper.

Phoenix: There's no name or signature on here. The handwriting is very precise, clear letters…

Bogo: What does it say?

Phoenix: "Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth… Edgeworth!

Maya: N-N-Nick! Why would Edgeworth's name be on here…?

Phoenix: How should I know!? I'm going to read the whole thing…? "Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth…" It also says "This is your last chance! Now is your time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life!" … The rest of the letter goes on to describe the murder plot in detail! How to kill Robert Hammond and frame Edgeworth… Calling Edgeworth out to the lake, getting on the boat… firing twice! This is exactly what I figured out today in court! It's all here… in perfect detail! …

Maya: What do you think it means, Nick?

Bogo: I think it means whoever sent the man the letter they both know about the DL-6 Incident and somehow, the person knows that Robert and Edgeworth ruined the caretaker's life. Phoenix, I'm going to need to borrow that paper for an examination. We should be able to match someone else's handwriting with this.

I lend Chief Bogo the paper.

Phoenix: Maya, we need to head to the detention center and fast!

Maya: Right, Nick!
