"Phoenix! Slow down!" Edgeworth calls. After hearing about the Queens betrayal Phoenix had immediately rushed out the door. "Don't stop me Edgeworth! I am going to confront this 'Queen'" Phoenix spits the word Queen out like an insult. "Phoenix we need a plan! We cannot just demand an audience!" Edgeworths words finally reach Phoenix. He slows down, panting with held fists down at his sides.
It begins to rain.
"Why Edgeworth?! Why would she do this to her country?!" Phoenix yells. "I don't know... but we will find out" Edgeworth says quietly. After finding shelter Phoenix and Edgeworth sit down heavily, ready to plan their next move. "I am sorry Phoenix, but we only know one man who can have audience with the Queen" Edgeworth starts. Phoenixs gaze hardens "Layton."
*banging on the door* "Hershel! Hershel!" Layton gets up and opens the door. "Ah Phoenix, what do you need?" Layton grins. "An audience with the Queen" Phoenix bites back. Layton loses his smile and his jaw hits the ground "Are you mad my dear Attorney?!". "If you get me and an audience... consider that favour called off" Layton immediately straightens up. "Very well, meet me tomorrow and we will make our way too Buckingham palace".
"Thanks, Hershel" Phoenix leaves. Edgeworth had shrewdly watching the entire conversation and left without a word. "Do I want to know Wright?" Edgeworth says as soon as he catches up. "No, no you do not" Phoenix hails a taxi.
The Next Morning
"I have held my word Phoenix, your 'favour' is off" Layton turns on heel and leaves the room. Edgeworth and Phoenix are in a nicely furbished room, waiting for the Queen to call them in. A green light flashes and Phoenix enter the room, Edgeworth right on his heels. "Your majesty" Phoenix takes a bow. The Queen looked as if she could have done without this visit "Ah, Mr. Pright? Friend of the famous Hershel Layton?". "Wright" Phoenix replies curtly. "Of course". The silence drags on.
"Ah your majesty, if I may" Edgeworth interjects, The Queens eyes swing around to him "We traveled here to find out more about the referendum and well... we talked to Mr. Cameron" Edgeworth finishes. The Queen gasps slightly. "I see, what do you want to know?" she laments. "Where is your 'circle of friends' located" Phoenix asks. The Queen of Britain looks pressured. "A safe house in Big Ben" she finally lets out.
"Your majesty" Phoenix bows and leaves the room. Edgeworth does the same. "We have a lead Edgeworth, lets question them now!". The duo rush over to Big Ben and soon discover the hide-out of the confidants.
Who are they?
