Kay awoke with a start, discovering that she was sitting in an unfamiliar room and her hands had been bound with a coarse rope. She tested the bonds and found the rope to be too thick to break. She continued to struggle, trying to at least loosen the knot enough to slip out of. Suddenly, she heard a chuckle come from the other end of the room.

"Who's there?" She asked, her voice shaking.

A figure stepped out of the shadow and looked her square in the eyes. He was tall, perhaps in his mid-forties, with a short, scruffy beard.

"Hello, Kay Faraday, or Kay Edgeworth I believe is your new name."

"Who are you? How do you know me?" Her voice cracked as she continued to look at the man. His eyes and wicked grin displayed a kind of joy that sent shivers down her spine.

"I am unimportant. You, however, are." He knelt before her and brushed a lock of hair away from her face. Kay nearly gagged when he touched her. "I feel bad about doing this, but you married him. Who would have thought that a ring of eternal love would sign a death warrant."

Kay swallowed hard. "You're gonna kill me?" She tried to keep her voice as level as possible.

"Not yet." He replied, laughter in his voice.

"Then why are you just standing around and talking about it?" Kay spat, gritting her teeth in disgust.

Suddenly his eyes blazed with anger and he pulled a .38 revolver from his pocket. He held the barrel of the gun at Kay's forehead. She gasped in shock, trying to pull back from the gun.

"You think I kidding, little girl?" He clicked back the hammer of the gun. "I will blow your brains across this back wall."

"Please!" Kay yelled, shifting frantically to avoid the gun. "Please don't!"

He smiled and started to squeeze the trigger.

"NO!"

The click of the hammer echoed in the room.

Kay let go of the breath she didn't realize she was holding and started hyperventilating.

"You didn't..."

"Of course not." He said, moving the gun from her head. "You'll know when its coming, because he will be watching." The man grabbed the gun by the barrel and hit her with the handle. Stars exploded across her vision, and then everything went black.

Miles sat outside the crime scene, spinning his wedding band around his finger. So far his wedding day had consisted of murder, threats, and two arguments between him and his wife of...

Miles looked at the huge clock in the hallway. 6 hours. He thought about how today should have gone. He and Kay would probably be dancing in the ballroom right about now and talking about their trip to Europe. How everything could have gone so wrong in a matter of hours was beyond him. He picked up Dare's wallet off the bench beside him and started looking at the contents. 3 credit cards and quite a bit of cash.
"So not a robbery." He said aloud. Of course not, that would be too easy. Next he looked at the knife through the thin plastic of the evidence bag. It was a switchblade with a black handle, relatively old judging by it's make. He glanced at the handle for a second, but something about it made him look closer.

Along the side, there was something carved on the handle. He slipped a pair of latex gloves on and opened the bag. He took out the knife and held it close to his face. It was a name engraved on the handle. Not a person's though, a company's.

"Arthright Management." Miles said, running his finger over the engraving. "Arthright...AH!"

It came to him in a flash. Arthright Management was involved in a lawsuit that he prosecuted. It was one of his first cases involving corporate crime. The CEO was found guilty of embezzling money into offshore accounts. Though there were always rumors about that company using some sort of muscle to get certain deals swept under the rug. Dare must have been the company's hit man.

"But how does any of this relate to Kay?"

"I'm starting to think that it doesn't."

Miles looked up and saw Phoenix, Maya and Gumshoe standing around him.

"What do you mean?" He asked, standing up.

"We checked Dare's finances and found that his bank account received a $10,000 deposit from an offshore account. We decided to run the records and see if it went anywhere." Gumshoe said, handing the file to Edgeworth.

"Did it?" He inquired, his stomach churning with fear.

"Yeah," Phoenix said, scratching his head. "It came back to an account that was brought up in a trail 9 years ago. Belonging to an company called Arthright Management."

Edgeworth's face went pale as a sheet. He looked down at the knife in his hand. "Who had access to the offshore account."

"The CEO, Augustus Arthright." Maya said, holding her hands behind her and looking away. "Or, Ex-CEO now. He lost everything after the trial."

"My god." Miles said, sitting back and holding his head. Augustus was one of the most ruthless man that he had ever met. He would stop at nothing to destroy anyone who had crossed him. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. Kay was alone. He jumped up from the seat and ran towards the ballroom, praying that she was still there.

He ran inside, frantic. "Kay!" He looked around, but she was no where to be found.

"Miles!" A voice screamed. Kay's voice.

He ran from the ballroom and out into the hallway.

There stood Kay, with Augustus Arthright's arm around her and a gun under her chin.
