Chapter ~4: Hit the Marx! (Part 1 of 4)
This is the first case I've ever stood in as a suspect, I've never thought this is how I'd meet Phoenix Wright; I never even thought he'd risk his own neck to save me.
I'm getting ahead of myself, maybe I should start with why I got here.
=TIME: UNKNOWN, PLACE: UNKNOWN=
"Please... ... Put the gun down, please... PLEASE!" a male voice begs; but is silenced by a huge bang, a single shell falls to the floor.
The camera pans up and standing covered in blood is the mismatched eyes of a 16-year-old Orion Marx. Who has in his hands a gun and a gaudy necklace!
The gun then falls to the floor joining the shell round and the dead body of a 34-year-old male.
=TIME: 8:36 A.M, PLACE: WRIGHT & CO=
A phone rings throughout the office; no one hears the phones ring, not even the sleeping figure upon the couch.
A click fills the room a familiar message plays throughout the building 'This is the Wright & Co agency, I can't get to the phone at the moment. Please leave a message after the tone.'
A soft groan from the person on the couch is heard; another sound fills the room, it's a woman's voice.
"PHOENIX, PICK YOUR DAMN PHONE. YOU HAVE A CASE. SOME KID KILLED SOME GUY. IF YOU'RE NOT HERE IN AN HOUR I'LL FIND ANOTHER PERSON TO WORK WITH." a woman's voice shouts down the phone line.
"I'm up..." the man says; his voice full of yawns. A man dressed in a blue suit sits up from the couch, papers from a former case sit upon a table, the same table that the phone sits; a low red glow from the message machine frames his face. Black spiky hair stands uneven and unkempt; the man reaches forward and takes the phone to dial a number. A number he knows all too well: Maya Fey.
"What's the case?" Phoenix simply asks.
=TIME: 9:O1 A.M, PLACE: DETENTION CENTER POLICE=
The lone click of the clock sounds as Phoenix and Maya stare into the mismatched eyes of a young man just know as Marx. No first name is given.
"So..." Maya starts to say only to be stopped by soft sobs; Maya and Phoenix stare at the young man who has just started to cry.
"Please, I didn't... I couldn't kill him." the man know as Marx says through tears and slight hiccups
"You are Mr Marx, yes?" Phoenix asks with a soft tone.
"Yes... I am... I want... I..." the man known as Marx starts to say only to stop with more tears.
"You didn't do it!" Maya says shocking Phoenix, she's usually the one to jump into accusing people.
The man shakes his head tears fall from his eyes; Phoenix looks at Maya with his signature grin; he turns his head towards Mr Marx.
"We will take your case, Mr Marx!" Phoenix says slamming his hands on the table.
"Th-thank you. It's Orion... call me Orion." Orion says simply with a small smile.
Soft chuckles from Maya fill the room, Phoenix can't help but join in; Orion just looks on confused.
=TIME: 9:25 A.M, PLACE: OUTSIDE=
"So that's him?" Maya asks walking down the bustling streets followed by Phoenix.
"Yeah, Orion Marx. A defence attorney in the making, just like me when I was his age." Phoenix says trailing after Maya.
"So we have to help then?" Maya asks with a turn of her head; her blinding smile fills Phoenix's view.
"Of course. He didn't do it." Phoenix says with a clenched fist.
=TIME: 10:31 A.M, PLACE: KRYSTAL'S CRYSTALS=
Phoenix and Maya look up at the tacky sign to the shop known as Krystal's Crystals; a jewellery shop, where the body of a 34-year-old man was found shot dead with a single round to his chest.
Police pat down Maya; Phoenix looks on with a sweat drop as outside a ruckus catches his attention.
"WAIT. WHAT?" a woman dressed in a silver flowing dress screams out the top of her lungs, as she is grabbed by a police officer. Phoenix looks outside and sees the woman in question; pinned to her dress in a flowing script of writing is her name, Kristine Krystal as she is being detained by the police she hasn't stopped screaming.
'What a lovely woman.' Phoenix thinks to himself as he looks over the crime scene, taped around the floor is the outline of the body, on the floor is the shattered remains of glasses, Phoenix picks them up and notices written in the top corner: the last words of a make of the glasses... maybe.
'I'll just pocket them.' Phoenix thinks adding them to his pocket.

"ARE YOU THE POLICE?" Kristine Krystal screams out slapping away the wavering hands away from her.
"Do not touch me, I own this building. I can fire you!" Kristine Krystal adds slapping the police hands away from her.
"Jesus that woman." Maya says appearing next to Phoenix with a smile on her face.
"I agree with you, Maya. Just because she owns the building doesn't mean anything." Phoenix says watching as the woman forces her way inside.
"ARE YOU POLICE?" The woman says appearing in Phoenix's view.
"Do I look like the Police madam?" Phoenix says with a confused look on his face.
"No, you look like that horrid boy I have working here. What's his name... ah, no matter. GET OUT OF MY STORE!" Kristine Krystal says spitting into Phoenix's face.
"Madam; A murder took place here, have you no decency?" A random officer says only to be screamed at and knocked away by Kristine Krystal's purse/handbag.
'I would not want to be her husband.' Phoenix thinks to himself watching as the police officer gets his butt handed to him by a woman.
"Hey Nick, look!" Maya says waving Phoenix over, Phoenix walks over to Maya who's bent over looking under some knocked over furniture; laying under a chair flipped over was a gaudy necklace.
"What the?" Phoenix asks picking up the necklace with his hands.
"Hey Nick, on the back." Maya says; her eyes bright with something Phoenix knows so well; a slight joy. Phoenix looked at Maya and then down at the necklace in his hands; he rolls the necklace over in his hands.
On the back of the necklace was the words Kristine & Terry Du; Together F̶o̶r̶e̶v̶e̶r though the forever was crossed off and a new word was written in its place; FOR NEVER!
"I guess this is evidence huh Nick." Maya says with a smile on her face.
"You may be right Maya." Phoenix says adding the necklace to his evidence.

"Madam if you do not leave we will have to arrest you!" a familiar voice says; from inside the crow of police officers a huge man dressed in a brown overcoat says holding back Kristine Krystal with one of his arms.
"Gumshoe!" Maya shouts out waving the familiar voice over; who looks down at Maya and with a chuckle he places his hands inside his coat.
"Hey Maya, Oh Nick. You here to?" Gumshoe asks looking at Phoenix who look at Gumshoe with a chuckle.
"Yeah I'm taking this case." Phoenix says with a rub on the back of his neck.
"Seems like this case is cut and dry Nick. The kid did it, he was found with the murder weapon in his hands." Gumshoe says only to be stopped by a glare from Maya.
"Remember when you thought I killed someone Gumshoe." Maya says; only to get a laugh from Gumshoe
"Yeah I do, I'm sorry about that Maya." Gumshoe says leaving after he sees a wave from one of his officers.
Phoenix chuckles and with a glare and then a laugh comes from Maya after a while.
