Fey and Co. Law Office, 10:00 AM

Nick's POV

Nick: Wow, lot of cops here!

Judy: Well there was a murder in here yesterday, guess we're not going to find a lot of clues.

Nick: Hey. Isn't that Chief Bogo over there?

Bogo: Oh, Officer Judy, Officer Nick. This is a pleasant surprise.

Judy: Chief! What are you doing here?

Bogo: Oh, I'm not your guys' boss anymore, so just call me Bogo. And an answer to your question, I heard what happened to Mia, so I thought I check the crime scene myself and ask some questions.

Nick: We were about to do the same thing. Can we tag along too?

Bogo: I don't see why not.

We made it in the office, it still doesn't feel the same without her.

?: Hey! You there! This is a crime scene, pal! No trespassing! Umm… Sorry, don't I know you from somewhere? Wait, Chief Bogo of Zootopia Police, is that you!?

Bogo: Hello Dick Gumshoe. Nice to see you again.

Gumshoe: Yes, it's been awhile, how's police work doing?

Bogo: Kind of slow honestly. I've heard what happened to Mia and I just wanted to ask some questions about the murder.

Gumshoe: I see, wait, you two. Aren't with that lawyer, Harry Butz?

Judy: Actually his name is Phoenix, but yes we represent the defense team.

Gumshoe: I see, well if you with Phoenix and if he's the suspect's lawyer, then feel free to ask me anything, but make it quick. I'm kind of busy here, pal!

Judy: But we're not…

I quickly placed my hand in Judy's mouth.

Nick: Of course! Thanks Dick Gumshoe!

Gumshoe: Hey, wait a minute pal! That's Detective Gumshoe to you! Anyway, what did you want to ask?

Bogo: Well, first off, do you have a copy of the autopsy report?

Gumshoe: Hmm… You guys want to know the results.

Bogo: …

Judy: …

Nick: …

Gumshoe: Now don't you guys look at me like that! It's no use! She might have worked with you guys before, but that doesn't mean you get any special treatment!

Nick: Please Gumshoe, Phoenix is going to defend Maya. He needs all the help he can get.

Gumshoe: Alright, you guys can see the report, but that is all!

Bogo: Thank you. Says here that her death was instantaneous.

Gumshoe: That's right, pal. She was… a beautiful person.

Judy: You knew her, Detective?

Gumshoe: Sure. All of us down at the precinct knew Ms. Fey. Much as it pains me to say this, she was a darn good lawyer.

Bogo: She was, shame about what happened to her.

Judy: I know.

Nick: So, about Maya…

Gumshoe: Yeah! I'm looking forward to the trial! Sorry, pal, but this one trial your lawyer friend ain't going to win!

Nick: Why do you say that?

Gumshoe: The city's putting Prosecutor Edgeworth on the prosecutions!

Bogo: E-Edgeworth!?

Gumshoe: Yep! I'm sure you know what that means. Wait you guys do know him right?

Bogo: Of course I know him.

Judy: I have heard about him.

Nick: Not a clue.

Gumshoe: Whoa! And you call yourself a cop, pal!? Edgeworth became a prosecutor at the age of 20! Everyone says he's a genius.

Bogo: Genius my foot! I know he's not a bad person, in fact he's mature as a person, but the way he gets his guilty verdict I think is too much.

Gumshoe: I know his methods may be a little extreme, but he does what he does, because he hates crime with an absolute passion.

Nick: Well anyway! I was just wondering if you have Maya Fey's cell phone?

Gumshoe: Oh that? Yeah I have it.

Judy: Can we have it please? We could like to take it back to the police station to examine it.

Gumshoe: Uh… sure. However I don't think you'll find anything useful. I've already checked all the calls she's made.

Nick: Alright. That should be all, thank you for your time.

Gumshoe: No problem. Oh! Wait! If you see the lawyer guy, tell him I hope he doesn't plan on talking to that witness across the building.

Nick (Thinking): Come to think of it I've forgotten about her.

Judy: The one that called here last night?

Gumshoe: Yeah, Miss April May. Sorry I can't tell you that much about her.

Bogo: Ms. May? So I guessed you sent her home or something?

Gumshoe: Actually, she's staying at the same hotel until the trail starts.

Nick (Thinking): This guy is making it too easy.

Nick: Alright, if we see him. We'll tell him that you're too smart for him to get any information out of.

Gumshoe: You got that right, pal! Well, see ya!

Bogo: I'm going to the office and make a copy of the autopsy. If you guys need anything, don't hesitate to come down to the office.

Judy: Thank you, sir.

Nick: So what now?

Judy: Let me call Phoenix and tell him what we've got so far then we'll check out the hotel room.

*Ring* *Ring* *Beep*

Phoenix: Hello?

Judy: Hey Phoenix. We got Maya's cell phone back.

Phoenix: Great! Thanks guys!

Judy: Did you find the lawyer?

Phoenix: I'm actually sitting in his office right now. He's not here yet, so I'm just waiting for him.

Judy: Okay, well we've also got the autopsy and we've got a lead on the witness. So we're going to hotel and talk to her.

Phoenix: Okay. Just don't forget to meet back at the detention center when you're done.

Judy: Okay, bye.

*Beep*

Nick: Sounds like he's having a fun day.

Judy gave me a light punch.

Judy: Come on Nick. Let's check out the hotel.
