A/N: This time, furealz this time, I intend to update soon.
Pairing: Lana/ OC and Lana/ Ema
Disclaimer: I don't own Phoenix Wright or anything like that. I own the OC in this though. She's a cool gal I guess. Bet she's wubbish at Smash Brothers Brawl though HECK YES TOON LINK.
Something Like That
Lana stared at the phone in front of her. She had two sets of numbers to dial but only had he opportunity for one. She made her decision and lifted the phone to her ear to wait for the dial tone.
"Calling your sister?" The cop on duty asked her, knowing her well enough from their past encounters.
Lana nodded and smiled grimly, knowing that she would get privacy to talk out of professional courtesy and benefit of the doubt.
She listened as the phone rang. It seemed to ring endlessly until finally she heard the faint click of it being picked up.
"Hello?"
"Amy?"
"Lana?"
"It's me. I-"
"Where are you? How come I don't recognise this number? Something happened to your cell again, didn't it?"
"Yes." Lana answered truthfully. Her phone had been confiscated when she had been arrested.
"How come you're not on your office phone?"
"I- never mind that right now, I'm calling to ask a favour."
"Ok..." Amy answered tentatively. "What kind of favour? Should I be suspicious?"
"A big one. And it's highly important and I can only ask you."
"As flattered as I am, Lana, I'm starting to worry. Has something happened?"
"I'm not gonna be home for a while and I need someone to take care of Ema for me while I'm away, until I get things figured out. It shouldn't be for too long a time," Lana quickly lied, "And Ema trusts you and I trust you more than anyone."
"Lana! For god sake you're scaring me. What's happened?"
"If you can't do it then can you please call everyone that I know and that Ema knows and who you trust?"
"I never said I wouldn't do it. When does she need a place and for how long?"
Lana breathed out a sigh of relief. "Right now." She hurried, "and for a while, a week to begin with."
"To begin with?"
Lana stayed silent for a moment. She knew once Ema could she would contact Mia Fey. Lana knew she probably should have done that herself instead of phone her best friend, but she knew Ema remembered what she always told her. If either of them were ever in any trouble she should find Mia Fey.
She quickly calculated the amount of time her investigation and upcoming trial should take and swallowed the sadness inside. She had already 'decided' to plead guilty, so she knew how long she was going to be away for. She knew exactly how much she would miss. Would Amy still want to help her after she found out what she had done? How distraught would Ema be when she found out what her sister was?
How destroyed was she going to be when she found out why her sister had done this?
Lana saw the cop approaching her and knew her time was nearly up.
"Amy- I don't have any more time. I'm sorry. Please just say you'll do this though? I need Ema to be somewhere safe."
"Of course I will. Anything you need, you know that."
Lana felt a desperate voice whisper inside her. Save me, it said. That's what I need.
"Thanks, Amy."
"Big case again, huh?"
Lana looked at the police officer raising her eyebrows at her. Signalling she'd had her time and it was now up.
"Something like that."
Click 'Next' right now if you want. Won't lead to anything for a bit though.
