January 14, 8:30 A.M. Grand Hyatt Lobby
Pearl looked at all of the birds around her, seemingly overwhelmed by all of the sights around her.
She yelled, "Mr. Nick! Come over here!"
Phoenix reluctantly attended to her and saw that she was pointing at a Salmon-crested Cockatoo. He looked at it like he was staring at a witness.
The bird said, almost like it was confused, "Crack-er?"
Pearl jumped around and screamed, "It talked! Mystic Maya! Birds can talk!"
On the other side of the atrium, which was open to the air, Maya was talking to Edgeworth and Franziska when Pearl's cries were heard.
Maya screamed, "You could say that the hills have eyes!"
After that, they all got in a group "formation" and discussed. Phoenix tried to produce humor by introducing a rather funny thing he did before leaving on the trip.
What I did," he said, "was quite phenomenal. I left a special answering machine message for the office phone, so when someone calls, it says, 'You have reached Wright and Co. Law Offices. While you guys are freezing our asses off back in California, we have retreated to a paradise that the locals call 'Hawaii'. Please do not leave a message after the tone, unless it is to tell us that we've won the lottery. Thank you."
Immediately, Maya started laughing hysterically.
Franziska questioned herself, "When was the last time that California was below 50 degrees in winter?"
That moment, Edgeworth reached into his pocket. He pulled out an orange medicine bottle, which was empty.
He sighed, "Bother. My supply of antibiotics has run out."
Phoenix asked, "What for?"
He replied, "A sinus infection."
Maya pulled out a map from what seemed like nowhere and scanned it. She said, "It says here that the closest pharmacy to our location is in Old Koloa Town."
Pearl asked, "What's Kull-oh-uh?"
Franziska groaned, "Not again!"
Phoenix called the others outside, where he drove the rental car up. It was a Suburban as it was one of the few cars that could easily hold 5 people. Although he didn't own a car himself (strangely), he was able to drive with ease. As he approached the unloading zone, he began to think about his mother.
He remembered her distinctly. She was of Japanese descent, and her maiden name was Yoshiku Ordua. She met Phoenix's father, Reginald, when he was serving in the military. Phoenix received his name because he was born, he shone with a brilliant light, which reminded her of a phoenix rising from the ashes.
He laughed a bit, as the reason that he thought about her was due to the abundance of Japanese people on the island (as if there weren't already a rather large Japanese-American population in Los Angeles). They climbed in, and Phoenix hit the accelerator, and they zoomed away down the road.
Maya looked out the window and down at the road, and said, "Nick, to me, the roads here seem to be made with more asphalt than concrete."
Edgeworth asked, "I'm not surprised, as the salty air probably would erode concrete."
Franziska humorously added, "Maya, I must admit that you do have an ass fault."
She was rather offended by that statement.
Maya protested, "My butt isn't THAT big!"
Edgeworth laughed, "Well, every human has an 'ass fault', also known as 'your butt crack'."
Maya gasped, "Oh."
Phoenix noted, "I guess that when you mention it, 'asphalt' sure does sound like 'ass fault'."
At that moment, Phoenix parked the car in front of the building, and walked in with Edgeworth and Maya to fill his prescription.
A man focused his glasses and said, "If it isn't Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth! How can I help you, sirs?"
Maya tapped her finger on his spectacles and grunted.
He continued, "And Maya Fey, too!"
He laughed hysterically. Edgeworth handed him the pill bottle.
"Sir, I will refill your supply of Azithromicin for $24.00."
Phoenix handed over the money, and the pharmacist ran into the medical supply cabinet. About two minutes later, Maya saw the same man heading towards them, but he didn't look like the same man. He looked short of breath, and was gasping for air.
He coughed, "H-Here's your *hack* *cough* *wheeze* p-prescription, M-Mr. Edgeworth. *hack* *wheeze* *gasp*"
Phoenix asked, "Sir, are you all right?" The pharmacist's eyes turned red and he grabbed him by the collar.
"N-No! *cough* I feel like... *wheeze*"
He then collapsed to the floor, and didn't appear to be breathing. Phoenix ran outside.
He screamed to Franziska, "Call 911!"
The EMT's arrived on the scene almost immediately. They rushed inside and activated the defibrillator, but to no success. The pharmacist was declared dead on the scene.
Soon, CRIME SCENE: DO NOT CROSS tape had been put up all around the whole pharmacy, and many investigators were pouring in.
Pearl gasped, "He died right in front of you?! That's crazy! How does someone do that?"
Edgeworth sighed, "We don't know... yet. But we should soon get an answer. But at least I got my pills."
Maya screamed, "Mr. Edgeworth! You don't care that an innocent man died right in front of your very eyes?! You are insane!"
He interrupted, "I've had to withstand the death of my very parents, Ms. Fey. I've gone through a lot of things more sad than this, when a silly medication distributor passes on right in front of me."
Pearl asked, "Mr. Edgeworth, when will we know how he died?"
Phoenix said, "When they do an autopsy and file the report on CNN."
She got confused and shrugged, "What's an au-top-see?"
Franziska said, "An autopsy is when you examine a dead person to find out how they died."
She jumped around, yelling, "I can't wait to see that!"
