"Kay...Did you know him all this time?" MIles said, staring at her in disbelief.
"No." She said calmly, looking down at the outline on the floor. "I had pushed the memory back, letting it sit for 15 years. When Maya told my that she had heard Dare's name from her sister, it all came back."
"What came back?" Phoenix said, looking between Kay and Maya.
"When I was little, My dad would take me to see his trials. He said that he knew he could win if I was there watching him. His last trial before the second KG-8 incident was called the FD-3 case." Kay took a deep breath and continued. "I remember dad spending hours looking over case files, returning to the crime scene, and watching witness testimonies until he found the evidence he needed."
"My sister was at that trial too." Maya said, placing a hand on Kay's shoulder. "She was still studying for the Bar at that time, but she would go to trials and observe. She called me later that day, talking about how she wished to go against Faraday someday because she saw that he was an honorable lawyer." Maya gave Kay a small smile and turned back to Miles and Phoenix.
"But the question is, why is he here?" Kay asked allowed, shooting a look at Edgeworth.
HIs voice caught in his throat. What was he supposed to say? That Dare had come to their wedding to try and kill her? That she was in danger?
Phoenix saw Edgeworth become flustered and stepped forward. "Dare was after you Kay."
Kay turned sharply to Phoenix her eyes going wide in shock. "Wha..." She turned back to Edgeworth, her eyes burning with anger. "You knew about this?"
"Kay," Edgeworth started, but she turned away and left the room, storming down the hallway. Edgeworth flashed a glare at Phoenix before folllowing after Kay.
"Why didn't you tell her when you found out?" Maya asked, crossing her arms and looking away from Phoenix.
"I..We didn't think that she needed to know about it."
Maya turned, confused. "NIck, If she is in danger, she needs to know. Whoever killed Dare is probably after her too. I didn't think that you would do that. What gives you the right to decide what she needs to know. Kay is able to protect herself if she knows that she need to."
Phoenix looked at Maya with guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry, but Edgeworth told us to keep it from Kay. Once she figured out who he was, I couldn't keep it from her."
Maya walked forward and placed her hand on Phoenix's chest. "I just hope that they can figure this out." She said sadly, looking out into the hallway.
Meanwhile, Kay stormed down the hallway, her fists clenched at her side.
"Stupid Edgeworth, Stupid Phoenix, Stupid Gumeshoe, all of them so stupid." She grumbled to herself.
"Kay! Kay, wait!" Edgeworth called from behind her. Kay didn't stop, she just continued walking.
"Kay!" Edgeworth grabbed her hand, trying to hold her back.
She stopped and turned around, and Edgeworth let out a sigh and started to smile.
Until she punched him in the face.
Edgeworth recoiled and let go of her hand. He fell back onto the floor, his hand going to his face in shock.
"What the..." He started, but his voice stopped when he saw Kay's angry face.
"What the hell were you thinking Miles?" She yelled, bearing down on him.
"I.."
"We've not been married for more than 3 hours before you lie to me. I thought you said we'd find the truth together.
"We will." Edgeworth said, getting up off the floor.
"How can I when I don't even know that someone is after me."
Edgeworth placed his hands on both her arms, trying to calm her. "I didn't want you to worry. I was trying to protect you."
"I just hit you and you fell on your ass. I think I can protect myself."
"Yeah." Miles rubbed his hand over his cheek, feeling it start to swell up from the punch. "Was the punch really necessary?"
"Damn straight it was. You can't hide things like that from me. And I really wanted to do that."
"I didn't think that marriage was going to be this hard right away. I thought we'd at least get some time to enjoy it."
Kay couldn't help but smile. "That's what happens when someone decides to get killed on your wedding day. We will figure this out. Together."
"Together." Miles nodded in agreement.
"Now, you aren't keeping anything else from me, are you?" Kay asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I'm not" Miles replied slightly annoyed.
"Fine then." Kay grabbed MIles by the hand and lead him back to the crime scene. "Now we've got work to do."
A/N: Hey all. This is just a kinda cute chapter that I wanted to write. Just goes to show, you keep secrets about someone trying to kill your spouse, then you're gonna get punched in the face. This'll probably be my last chapter of this year, but I can't wait to give you more writing in the new year. Merry Christmas to all, and have a great new year. As always, R&R.
