Well Here it is the final chapter, big thanks to those who have followed/favourited/reviewed the story.

Edgeworth listened as Karl told Phoenix the meeting point. 'If they intend to take the evidence there, then what becomes of Trucy and I?'

Looking over at the girl it was evident that she'd come to the same conclusion.

With the caller in earshot he tried to shoot her a reassuring look.

At the Agency, Phoenix had found his old mobile phone and chose the camera app. "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be" replied Blake.

Phoenix pressed the record button.

"My name is Blake Johnson and I have a confession to make. I was found not guilty thanks to my Defence attorney, however unbeknownst to him I really did kill Si Carium and the burden of guilt is too much to bear walking out innocent when that was not the case."

Phoenix played back the video to check the quality. "I can't thank you enough for this." he told Blake appreciatively.

"When I was framed I thought there was no way to prove I didn't do it, if there's a way to catch the people who did kill Si and framed me, then it needs to be done. You trusted me, time to repay the favour" he told the attorney convincing himself as well as Phoenix that it was the right thing to do.

"Worst case scenario time, but what happens if they take the evidence and don't release them?"

"I've planned for that actuality"

Karls phone rang he checked the ID and answered. "Hello?"

"Karl, Wright is on his way to the meeting point" Edgeworth in the background tried to listen in.

"What do we do with these two once we have what we want?"

Trucys eyes widened and Edgeworth was intently listening in, as it was quiet he just made out what was said. "Once the evidence is ours, get rid of them, just be discrete, they've seen you both now, no way they can be let go"

Karl looked a little troubled by this. 'Maybe he has a problem with killing a young girl' Edgeworth guessed. "I suppose you're right." he sighed, hung up and went back on watch, unable to make eye contact with either hostage.

"What did they say? I couldn't hear it" Trucy asked in hush tones.

"I'm afraid I didn't either" Edgeworth replied apologetically, noting just how many times he'd lied today to spare her feelings.

The prosecutor in chief felt bad for Trucy, more than himself as one tends to do in this sort of situation. He also felt like he'd let Wright down, not being able to protect Trucy, which was what he had set out to do that day. This wasn't how it was suppose to end was it? The two of them dead in some run down abandoned warehouse.

Phoenix thanked Blake once more as they left the office and went their separate ways.

The defence attorney was nervous as hell, so much could go wrong, what if what he did out them at greater risk? What if the kidnapper's persuade Gumshoe that this evidence was real? What if they didn't let them go once they had the phone?

He reached the alleyway and played the waiting game which didn't help his nerves or the what if game.

Ten minutes later, a woman showed up, he recognised her a witness to the case he'd just completed, Regina Mali. It was her testimony he was able to find the crucial contradictions in.

"You have what we asked for?" she asked him plainly.

"I do"

"Then you had best hand it over"

Phoenix took a step forward, made to hand over the phone, then stopped. "There's a passcode on this phone" he told her as calmly as he could hoping years of poker games would play to his advantage. "You get the code when I see Trucy and Edgeworth." he told her, giving her the phone.

"You tell me the passcode or I'll tell the others to kill them" she retorted coolly.

"You do that and there's no passcode, no evidence and you'll be arrested for kidnap and murder." he replied menacingly.

She studied him for a moment before sighing, "You'll follow me then."

A car was parked round the corner and she motioned for him to get in.

Later they had reached the warehouse, Karl saw the car pull up and strode over to it, a look of shock crossed his features. "What the hell is he doing here?!" he roared.

His voice carried through the warehouse. "Do you think dads here? Trucy asked Edgeworth hopefully.

Edgeworth in a state of ambivalence nodding replied "It would appear so." 'Wright, you had better not have gained their evidence!' he thought to himself.

"Now give us the passcode" they heard the woman demand.

"I want to see if they are ok first." he replied, following that there were brisk footsteps towards the door, the two hostages narrowed their eyes at the sudden bright light, illuminating the once darkened warehouse, but the silhouette was without doubt that of Phoenix Wright.

"Daddy!" Trucy called out looking visibly relieved.

Phoenix walked up to Trucy as Joe stood between Trucy and Edgeworth a full foot taller than Phoenix. "No further" he told the defence attorney menacingly.

Wright did as he was instructed as Regina and Karl walked in.

"Trucy, Edgeworth, are you ok?"

The girl nodded, as did the chief prosecutor who winced slightly from the earlier attack.

"The passcode Mr Wright, we've gone along with your games long enough, forcing me to bring you here in the first place." She sternly told him.

'Not as thick as you look' Edgeworth thought, slightly impressed with the way he had got himself there.

"Well?" She demanded. "This is your phone correct?" She asked "Now we have this you wont be able to contact the cops in time to do anything."

"I haven't spoken to the police and yes that is my phone so I cant contact them if that's what you are worried about."

"If any of this ever gets reported, it will not end well for anyone here, we know where you work, live and go to school, no-where is safe from us." She warned again. "Passcode!"

"974448" he told her in the most reluctant voice he could muster.

She typed in the code and looked at him expecting to be told what to find. "It's a video, of Blake confessing." he told her.

Edgeworth looked aghast. "You did what?! Wright, you've only just got your badge back!"

"What's more important? My career or two of the most important people in my life, the choice is obvious!" Phoenix replied in a low voice.

"You two, come along we're done here"

Karl didn't move. "What about them?" he asked recalling her instructions.

"I've told them what will happen if this is ever discussed" she told him "Besides if this ever gets out, It'll be the end of his career. You have their phones?"she asked. Karl nodded. "And I have his now" she walked out with her brothers.

"Dad?" Trucy began after the Mali's had departed.

"Just a moment honey" he reassured her as he took out his phone. Edgeworth looked at him enquiringly. "I gave them my old phone" he told the prosecutor as he found Gumshoes number.

"Whats up pal?" the detective greeted him.

"Detective there are three people heading to the precinct, they have a phone with them."

"Erm, ok what's so wrong with that?"

"Please let me finish, its urgent! These people the Mali's will tell you it's evidence to the murder of Si Carium, they will show you a video on the phone, they are kidnappers and quite possibly the real culprits. The evidence they hold is fake, I got Blake to record it so that we could frame them."

He could hear the detective note the information down. "They took Trucy and Edgeworth, they're safe now, just make sure you catch them, let me know when you have them arrested wont you?"

Gumshoe replied once he had written everything written down. "Wow that's some story, but you got it pal, leave it to me!"

He then went over to Trucy and untied her wrists and she flung her arms around him, crying. "Its ok Truce, it's over " he reassured her.

After a few moments he let go and went over to untie Edgeworth. "I couldn't have done this without you" he told the prosecutor gratefully. "Are you ok?" he asked again quietly having noticed him wince earlier.

"I'll be fine." he replied with his usual awkwardness at displays of concern.

Phoenix was about to tell him he should go to the doctor as a precaution but decided against it.

Trucy walked over to Edgeworth as he massaged his wrists to get the feeling back in them, she didn't say a word but gave him a brief hug, to Phoenix's surprise the Prosecutor reciprocated to her silent thanks for reassuring her when the were held captive.

The made their way out of the warehouse and back to Edgeworths car which was still parked by the church obscured enough for it not to be seen by the Mali's at the warehouse.

Not much was said on the ride back until the steel samurai theme played out on Phoenix's phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Pal, we just got the Mali siblings arrested, we'll need statements from you three as well as Blake, so you'll need to do that before they go on trial." he told Phoenix.

"Thanks Detective, I'll tell them."

Three weeks later the Mali's were found guilty of Kidnap and it was revealed that Si Carium had been murdered by Regina with the help of her brothers as she had owed him a lot of money she was unable to repay.
