Grossberg's Law Offices, 3:13 PM
Phoenix's POV
Phoenix (Thinking): Hmm… seems like Mr. Grossberg's out again. He's avoiding me for some reason.
I looked around the room then I notice something very interesting. The painting… where is it!?
But that's not all I noticed two photos on the desk. They we're both labeled "DL-6 Incident" I took a look at both of them. One was a picture of a woman the other was man.
Phoenix (Thinking): This one with the man looks more important. I think I'll borrow it for now. Hmm… well if he's not here. I guess I could go somewhere else for clues.
Gatewater Hotel, 3:59 PM
Nick's POV
Nick: Okay let's go on in!
Phoenix: Nick!?
Judy: !
Nick: ! Phoenix! What are you doing here?
Phoenix: I was going to ask you the same thing?
Judy: Well Miss Cooperative wasn't a easy one to handle. So we've decide to go back to the hotel and talk to the bellboy.
Phoenix: That's funny. I was thinking the same thing. I found this picture in Mr. Grossberg's office and I thought this was the man that was in the hotel.
Nick: Wow! Good work Phoenix! You've made more progress than we have.
Phoenix: Oh-ho! It's nothing really. Well in any case let's head in.
Gatewater Hotel-Room 303
Bellboy: Ah, welcome sirs! Quite the performance today, if I dare say so myself.
Phoenix: Oh, um, thanks.
Nick: Sorry for putting you on the spot like that.
Bellboy: No, no, not at all, sir! Your efforts today can only help the Gatewater's "rep," as they say.
Judy: Huh? "Rep"?
Bellboy: Yes! Our reputation will swell as the hotel where the murderer used a wiretap! We can charge premium for the room, of course. It will be great for business, sir!
Nick: Whoa, whoa! Miss May hasn't been charged with murder.
Bellboy: I, too, will become famous! "The Bellboy who brought the murderer ice coffee"…!
Nick (Thinking): This guy is starting to creep me out now!
Bellboy: So! You guys are our honored guest. Please let me know if there is anything I can bring you guys!
Judy: Well, we do need some information about the man that stayed with Miss May.
Bellboy: Ah, yes… He struck me as a real "Lady Killer," if you'll pardon the expression. Sadly he never told us his name, but if either of you have a photo of that man; I'm quite sure I could identify him.
Phoenix: Well you're in luck. I have a photo right here. Is this him?
Bellboy: … That's him, Detective.
Phoenix: Um… I'm the lawyer.
Bellboy: Oh, I know that! I just wanted to say "Detective" once. You know how it is. Anyway, without a doubt, this is the man who checked in with Miss April May. How about I write an affidavit swearing that that's him!
Nick (Thinking): This guy is really all too excited about this, but…
Nick: Okay. We really need all the help we could need.
Bellboy: Yes! I've always wanted to write an affidavit, sir. From hence forth I will be known as the "bellboy who swore the affidavit"!
Nick, Judy, and Phoenix: Just hurry up and write it!
Bellboy: Here go sir!
Judy: Thank you. And thank you so much. You've helped out a lot!
Bellboy: Happy to be of service! Please stop by any time.
Nick (Thinking): I think it's time we pay a little visit to someone. It's no use now Miss May, we've got you!
