Okay, so basically I'm doing this philosophy project and I asked if i could do a professor Layton spin off. My teacher said I could, so I've decided to publish it and when I do I'll leave you guys a link! It's about Layton and Clive (but of course) and the theme is moral dilemma's. Should be interesting, so keep an eye out! Enjoy the chapter!

~Clive~

The door thumped impatiently.

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." Flora sighed as she went to open the door.

"This location is compromised. We need to evacuate. Now" I could hear a familiar voice from the hallway. I abruptly stood up. It was the voice of someone I'd been waiting to see for a long, long time.

"Oh my!" Flora gasped "Luke is that really you?" I came into the hallway to see Luke and Flora in a tight embrace, Luke struggling for air. In the corner of the hallway, wearing a grey cashmere sweatshirt, dark denim jeans and small heeled boots stood one of my best friends. She had her hair back in a loose bun and she studied my face carefully over Luke's shoulder.

"You lost the files didn't you." She sighed, closing her eyes and resting her head on the wall. I nodded guiltily and leaned back next to her.

"Laura, I'm sorry I-" I began to speak. but Laura shook her head to cut me off.

"I should have forced you to bring that security team with you. I know you don't want to drag others into your shit, But Clive that's what the whole damn point of an organization like ours is." She furrowed her brow in frustration, as if I couldn't understand the simple concept. "I was worried, okay Clive? No offence but your not exactly the strongest fighter, and you go walking around with documents that could get you killed."

"Worried about me or the files?" I grinned as a slight blush swept over her cheeks.

"Dammit Clive. Get over yourself. C'mon we need to evacuate, the SSS know your location. Your so damn lucky I scanned those files into my computer last week. Or else you'd be a dead man." She tilted her head slightly, I have to say her deadly cold tone did scare me slightly.

"Layton wants to join SAVI by the way. How'd you come across Luke?" I glanced towards Luke, who was now beaming up at the professor. Probably telling him of his life in America and such. He'd grown up a lot. His old sweatshirt, shorts and braces had been replaced by a plain white shirt, loose blue tie and a long pair of dark trousers. His cap had of course remained.

"Well obviously I thought it was you. Realised it must be that boy who looked so much like you and hired him as my apprentice for both SAVI and my Archaeology presentations. Not for Law though. Already have an partner at Scotland yard so there isn't really a point. He really is apprentice no. 1" I smiled at the use of Luke's old catchphrase. "Now go apologise to him already so we can leave."

"Right." I nodded and marched over to Luke. I was conscious that everyone was watching but I wasn't going to let that make my apology any less sincere.

Okay, hope you liked I need to sleep now goodnight ;O x
