Chapter Four: The Investigation begins
11:30 P.M Abandoned building, Ema's "room"*
"What the fuck?" Ema muttered as she slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a dusty old room laying on an old mattress. The room was bare except for the mattress and two doors. One was in front of her and the other on the wall to the left. It was cold and Ema missed Klavier's warm embrace at this moment. The door in front of Ema swung open to reveal a familiar face. He looked so much like her beloved Klavier, same platinum blonde hair in the same twisted braid, pale baby blue eyes, only this man's eyes were cold and indifferent behind glasses.
"Well well, my younger brother's concubine has finally woken up." His voice was also cold and cruel without Klavier's melodic and comforting tone. It was Kristoph Gavin.
"Concubine! I am not a concubine!" Ema shouted.
"Why not, because Klavier has told you otherwise?"
"No, He actually loves me, not as though a monster like you knows what that's like."
" That may be so, but I managed to find and exploit such a weakness...you. How long will he last without his fraulein detective to make him feel complete. All I want for him to do is suffer for betraying me, his own brother. I'm not going to kill you, but I will use you to harm him."
"You're disgusting." Ema said as she spit towards him. Kristoph reacted by slapping her hard across the face. Ema swore she could taste blood in her mouth.
"I said that I wouldn't kill you, but I won't hesitate to make you suffer as well, that slap was a warning, next time expect worse. Do you understand?" Kristoph asked expression cold and unreadable. Ema silently nodded.
"Good. Now here." Kristoph put a glass of water and a small bowl of soup down in front of Ema.
"What's this?"
"I can't let you starve to death or my plan won't work. So eat." Kristoph commanded. Ema really didn't trust Kristoph, after all what if he was trying to poison her. Kristoph drank a spoonful of the soup just to assure Ema that it wasn't poisoned.
" See if I'd poisoned it, would I have had some?" Kristoph said again coldly.
"I guess not, fine, I'll eat." Ema said as she picked up the bowl and spoon and began eating. The soup was nothing more than plain chicken broth and a few chunks of vegetables. It was better than nothing though. Once Ema finished it, she quickly drank the glass of water Kristoph had brought along with the soup. Once she was done with that, Kristoph took the glass and bowl and left the room, locking the door once he had closed the door. Ema decided to get up and see what was behind the other door. She opened the door to see a sink and a toilet. So Kristoph Gavin was a sociopath, but he wasn't entirely evil. Ema walked back to the mattress to take a nap, it would be best to converse as much energy as possible in this situation. Ema slept possibly only an hour or two when she was awoken by the feeling of nausea. She ran to the toilet and found herself vomiting the little food she ate. That fucker must have put something in the soup. Then again, would Kristoph make himself sick by eating some of the soup too? Not likely, Kristoph wasn't exactly stupid. Maybe it was something else entirely. Thoughts of Ema's last encounter with Klavier flashed into her head. Ema and Klavier had been sleeping together since they'd started their relationship shortly after Vera Misham's trial. Occasionally, they wouldn't use protection. Other than last night, It had been about a month since they'd last had sex without protection. It takes about a month for the first symptoms of pregnancy to show. Could it be that she was pregnant?
"This isn't the best time." Ema said to herself. While she loved Klavier dearly and wouldn't mind having his child. She was kidnapped at the moment and whatever drug that Kristoph used to knock her out wouldn't be too good for the baby. Of course she'd need a test to know for sure, but Kristoph probably wouldn't bring her one. So she'd have to be careful for the time being just in case. She laid back down and curled into a ball. "Klavier, where are you?" she muttered as she fell asleep.
Los Angeles Police Department hours earlier
Klavier walked into the precinct to report Ema's kidnapping. Detective Gumshoe ran up to Klavier
"Hey pal, Do you know why Ema hasn't come into work?" he asked.
"Well, I think Kristoph kidnapped her." Klavier answered showing him the note that was left in the kitchen.
"I'm going to tell the Chief then." the detective said rushing towards to Chief's office. Klavier stood in silence waiting for Gumshoe to return. They had to find Ema, they just had to. Ema was not just his girlfriend, but his investigative partner. Nothing would get done without her forensic expertise and her efforts in keeping him on task.
"Ema, where are you?" Klavier thought out loud.
"Klavier, are you alright?" a familiar voice said from behind him. He turned to see his superior, Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth.
"Yes, Ema's missing and I think Kristoph had everything to do with it."
"He did break out of solitary confinement. I thought it wasn't true."
"Well, it is. I had to go and get some eggs to make breakfast and when I got back home, I was gone probably ten minutes. Vongole was crying by the back door. I found this note on the kitchen counter and it's Kristoph's writing, I'd recognize it anywhere."
"Did you tell the chief of police, this should be top priority right now. Ema could be in danger." Miles said.
"I know exactly what my brother is capable of I spent my life being manipulated by that fucking bastard."
"OK, I'm back pal." Gumshoe said as he ran back to Klavier.
"I just spoke to the chief and he said that he's going to have the entire force look for Ema. Mr. Edgeworth is in charge of the investigation, but if Mr. Edgeworth is fine with it. You could also help investigate."
"Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with Prosecutor Gavin helping in the investigation. After all, if Samantha was kidnapped I would want to be part of the investigation."
" Danke, Herr Edgeworth. I appreciate it."
"Alright, Detective Gumshoe, Klavier let's be off." Miles said as they walked off to the parking garage. Klavier headed for his hog, while Miles and Gumshoe took Miles's sports car. Klavier rode in front of the chief prosecutor and his investigative partner to his house ten minutes away. A small group of forensic lab technicians arrived soon afterwards. They got to work combing the garage, finding where Kristoph had been hiding since escaping Central Prison.
"We found a vile of powerful sedative, and a pair of gloves with paint chips stuck onto them. We can analyze them once we get back to the precinct. Other than that,we've completed our investigation."
"Then let's hurry, every minute we waste puts Ema in more danger." Miles said.
" Ja, it does, let's get back." Klavier agreed as the group all quickly returned to their vehicles and speed back towards the precinct. Once there, Miles and Klavier returned to their offices. Miles sat at his desk and pulled out his phone. He quickly dialed a number he hadn't dialed in a while.
"Hello, my friend." Phoenix's calm voice said over the phone."
"We have a situation, Wright."
"Well that's very specific."
" You must have heard about Kristoph Gavin's escape from prison, haven't you?"
"Yes, is that the problem?"
" Yes, he kidnapped Miss Skye and we need all the help we can get in locating her."
"I'll be right over there with Apollo shortly, Athena's at a doctor's appointment."
" Very well, I'll see you soon, Wright."
*Wright Anything Agency 4:30 P.M*
"Apollo!" Phoenix called out once he entered the office coming back from taking lunch. Apollo rushed out of the bathroom.
"Apollo Justice reporting for duty!" Apollo shouted.
"Damn Cords of Steel." Phoenix mentally cursed. " Kristoph Gavin has kidnapped Ema Skye, possibly as revenge against Klavier. We're going to the precinct to help however we can." Apollo didn't need to be told twice, he rushed out of the agency with Phoenix as his boss called for a taxi. Once both men were in the taxi, they sped towards the precinct.
High Procecutors' Office, Klavier Gavin's Office*
Both attorneys entered the prosecutors' offices, Phoenix went to Miles' office to get more information from him, while Apollo decided that he should go to Klavier's office as ask him what happened. Apollo stood outside of Klavier's office hearing Klavier play one of his guitars, only it didn't sound as good as he usually played. Apollo knocked on the door.
"What!" Klavier shouted from behind the door.
"Klavier, it's me, Apollo."
"Oh, I'm sorry Herr Forehead, come in." Apollo opened the door and stepped inside.
