Phoenix went home and immediately crashed on his couch. He had a huge decision to make, but, fortunately enough time to make it. But the right one? Phoenix just wished he could wake up from this living nightmare. Blake saw him sprawl out, and sat down next to his feet on the couch, looking over the lawyer. She patted his leg, trying to comfort her. She couldn't use words right now; she doesn't even know what she would if she was in this situation.
"Hey, Blake?" Phoenix asked. She looked his way, and he asked, "Can you get me the case files from the Carson case?" Blake nodded, and got up to go to the computer. Luckily, he was already signed in to the online court records. She knew the Carson case was bad when she only had to put in C, and the Carson case came up. She selected the files, and printed it.
She briefly looked over them as she walked back to him, and it wasn't good. He handed the files to Phoenix and sat by his feet on the couch once again. She looked at Phoenix's eyes scan through the documents, his eyes almost drooping with every line he read. "Phoenix, talk to me. Is it even remotely good?"
"Well," he said, "I'll give him this: He's a clever bastard. What he did was he took the victim's truck, turned it on, but here's the thing. He hooked a hose to the tailpipe of the truck, and but it through an open window, killing the victim via Carbon Dioxide. He then took the hose, and ran away with it. He, of course, wore gloves, and got away."
"Wait, if he didn't leave evidence, how did he get caught?"
"That's the interesting part..." Phoenix started, reading over the file once again, "He turned himself in, at exactly..." Phoenix stopped cold. Is this happening right now? "This...Can't...Be..." Phoenix stuttered, "HE turned himself in at 12:35, the night that they took my daughter..." Phoenix set the files on the table, sat up, and held his head on his hands. He stayed like that, yet not crying. He's probably in shock... Blake theorized. Is there anything I can do...? Ah!
Blake shot up, an idea coming to her mind. Phoenix looked at her, his eyes cold.
"I'm going to beacon," Blake said, grabbing Phoenix's arm, " And you're coming with me!" Phoenix eyes widened, the idea of seeing the team once again.
"Are...are you sure...?"
"Of course!" She said, hoping his answer would be positive.
"...Fine. Let me call Apollo and Athena to tell them the situation, pack my suitcase, and we'll go." Blake smiled widely, the idea of seeing her team once again, and repaying her debt to Phoenix. She smiled as she laid on the couch, taking a nap.
Achilles was sitting in his apartment home, looking at his phone. He had already recovered from the Yang trial, but there was another problem: The damn defense attorney's daughter got kidnapped, by the White Fang. Now, here, he had a choice to make. Risk his life, and maybe save her, or do nothing and watch the result. He sighed, knowing he hasn't talked to him in years, after his life in crime. He knew he should, but should he? Decisions, decisions...
"Okay Mr. Wright, I'll relay the message to Athena, thank you." Apollo hung up, and stood in his small kitchen. He looked blankly at his phone. His partner, his first partner, is gone, and he can do little to nothing about it now. Trucy... he thought, as the memories they made came flooding back to him. The Cases... the evidences... the magic panties... He just sighed, and called Athena.
"Hey Athena, it's Apollo."
"Hey Apollo, what's up?"
"Well, it's not about me... Mr. Wright is going out of town with that Blake girl. And Trucy is... well... still kidnapped... and.." Apollo went on to explain the details of a kid.
"Oh... dammit! Do you think Mr. Wright will be okay...?"
Apollo thought for a moment, not knowing how to respond. SO, he decided to tell her the truth, "I...I don't know. I honestly don't know." After that, the call went quite.
This must be as hard on him as it is on Mr. Wright, Athena thought, After all, she's been with him his whole career as a lawyer, helping him develop his technique...
"Hey, Apollo, want to see a movie later?"
Phoenix finally got into Vale, being led by Blake. They walked the rest of the way silently, walking. They stopped by the cafe, getting some coffee, and continued on their way. This time, they had some small talk about the town, weather, people, etc. until they got to the school. Phoenix hoped Blake was right about this...
