ACE ATTORNEY SCRAPBOOK
Chapter 45: Caught in the Act

Case Tag: 1-2 Turnabout Sisters

Quote:

Phoenix:
(This is it, all or nothing! Time to do a little bluff.) No use playing dumb! (If, indeed, that's an act.) If you don't talk, I'm taking this photo to the press!

April:
Whaaaaat!?

Phoenix:
Even though he should be a witness to murder, this man is in hiding. I'm sure the press would have a field day with his reputation!

April:
...! Ooooh! Fine! I'll talk! You... you win, Lawyer.

Phoenix:
(Yes! Man, that felt good! It's great to be alive!)

April:
Why are you pumping your fists in the air?

Phoenix:
*cough* Now, tell me about the man you were with.

September 7, 2016
Detention Center

The feeling of accomplishment had bubbled up in his chest, the thrill of victory threatening to spill up and out of his body like a shaken up soda can when it is opened. Phoenix Wright could feel the edges of his lips twitching, his mouth desperate to break out into a giant grin.

I did it, the thought finally occurred to him. I got her to admit to the truth! This must be how Edgeworth usually feels when he wrenches the truth out of someone on the witness stand. Honestly? I could get used to this.

Before Nick's brain could register his body's intended actions before they were performed for the entire world to see, or detention center in this case, the spiky haired attorney began pumping his fists in the air above his head in triumph.

Yes! Man, that felt good! It's great to be alive!

"Why are you pumping your fists in the air?"

Nick's eyes shot open and settled upon the pink woman on the opposite side of the holding cell glass. He was fairly certain his cheeks had turned as pink as April May herself. Gaah! She...caught me. Caught me right in the act. How am I going to get out of this one? Nick let out a slow breath. Just play it cool, Phoenix.

*Cough*

Real great start, Phoenix. Really great, he thought as he got his hacking under control. I think even Larry would be doing better right now and he's, well, Larry. Oh well. I guess I better get back to the questioning.
