Quote: It's not actually a quote, but the image Maya drew on Shelley's calling card that is shown at the end of the case after Edgey catches Franziska at the airport of the last piece of evidence that never found its way into court

Maya Fey leaned back against the wooden wine rack and sighed. She was soooo hungry. She could kill for some burgers right now. Or maybe some ramen noodles. Or both. Either way, Nick was taking her out to an all-you-can-eat buffet after this whole ordeal was over and she was going to get his money's worth.
Thinking about food was only making her hungrier. Maya tried to focus her mind elsewhere but, since food was something she was practically always thinking about, it wasn't going to be easy. If only she had something to do. Getting up from the cold, concrete floor, Maya headed up the couple of steps and tried the door handle, but found it locked. That kidnapper guy must have added a couple of new locks since she managed to sneak out and poke around the house a little while ago. Maya decided to try the card she found on the floor earlier to jimmy the locks open again but, this time, it didn't work.
Maya let out an angry huff at this. Darn! She really was hoping to head back into that living room. It had a sofa and a tv; if she was going to be a captive, she could at least be comfortable and watch the Steel Samurai or something and not be starving and bored out of her mind in a wine cellar.
Heading back down the stairs, Maya glanced around the room. She needed to find something to do to keep herself occupied until Nick could come and rescue her. Maya wandered up and down the rows of shelves, looking for something, anything, to do. Eventually, she came across a little shelf on the back wall of the basement. It didn't have anything fun or interesting on it, just a couple of markers and labels, presumably for the wine bottles before they were stored away in the cellar. With a shrug, Maya grabbed one of the markers and then took a seat on the floor.
She wasn't ashamed to admit that she wasn't the most artistically inclined person, but that never stopped her from any artistic pursuits. She drew fan art and tried her hand at fan fiction a time or two, mostly for the Steel Samurai (or whatever show had her interest at the moment). Pulling the cap off the marker, Maya stared at the pink card with the seashell emblem and thought long and hard about what she could draw. Steel Samurai? Evil Magistrate? Jammin' Ninja? Nickel Samurai?
A smile popped on to her lips. Maya instantly knew what to draw. There was one thing that all of the characters from her favorite programs had in common: Nick. She and Nick worked together to acquit Will Powers, the actor who played the Steel Samurai, when Jack Hammer, the actor who played the Evil Magistrate, was found murdered. And now, she and Nick were helping to prove that Matt Engarde, the Nickel Samurai, didn't murder Juan Corrida, the Jammin' Ninja (at least that's what Mia told Maya in the note she left for her after Maya channeled her to relay information about her situation back and forth to Nick).
It took her a bit of time to complete the drawing, using the shell as a reference point to sketch Nick's face and his trademark spiky hair. When it was done, Maya smiled and wrote "Nick" across the bottom of the card.
While it would only appear as a simple doodle to most, to Maya, it was a masterpiece.
