May 14, 9:23 A.M. Wright and Co. Law Offices

Phoenix was watching television when the phone started ringing. He ran towards it, and picked it up.
"Hello?"

"Pal, this is Detective Gumshoe."

"Did you find evidence against the Mad Bomber?"

"Well, all we know so far is that he wears a black trenchcoat. But I've got bad news."

"Bad news?"

"Well, could you get Maya, please?"

Phoenix ran into the lobby and said, "Maya, Detective Gumshoe wants to speak with you immediately." She ran towards the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Hello?"

"Maya, you will not believe what just happened in Kurain Village."

"What?"

"It was raided by the Mad Bomber."

"What did that corpuscle do?"

"He had a bunch of cronies with him, and they opened fire upon tourists. They killed all of them. They then placed a pipe bomb in the Channeling Chamber and blew it up. Finally, the Mad Bomber chopped down the flagpole, burned American, Japanese, and Kurain Village flags, put his own flag on top of a flagpole that he erected, and burned a few elders at the stake."

"WHAT?!"

"Unfortunately, yes. The real problem is that you are in grave danger."

"Are you trying to suggest that the Mad Bomber is mentally ill?"

"He may have some infatuation with you. He seems to be bombing places where you have been to."

"That means that I need to move to Japan or something!"

"No no no... you don't need to move to Japan. But be careful and alert the police if you see anything suspicious!"

Maya gasped, "Nick! The Mad Bomber is pure evil! He has to pay up for his crimes against humanity!"

Phoenix added, "He'll likely be executed. If he isn't, he'll be put in prison for the rest of his life."

She asked, "Nick, why does it feel like I am always in danger?"

"Maybe it's because you are always on the edge."

Maya realized, "I am on the edge quite frequently. Usually, when Pearly..."

Phoenix froze in fear. "Pearl?! Where is she?" Maya sweated, "I don't know! Sister Iris was going to contact us when they were returning to LA... but Hazakura Temple got bombed, and she is in the hospital. But because Pearly wasn't on the news as being injured that means that..."

Phoenix interrupted, "She got kidnapped?!" She screamed, "Of course! The Mad Bomber must've done it!"

The attorney then found that his suggestion was highly absurd, but as unlikely as it was, it probably was what had happened. "Maya, go talk to the Chief of Police and fill out a report. They'll find her before we know it if we act quickly."
