Turnabout Complication - 11
"T-Trucy-?! Are you-?!" ( I-I thought she was in a coma? )
"Daddy! I'm alright! You don't have to worry about me anymore!"
"Mr Wright? Is there something the matter?" Bloom tilted her head.
( Ah...I must've looked pale. ) Phoenix held down the phone. "It's Trucy! She's-"
"T-Trucy-?" She stepped backwards. "If she's speaking to you now...is Anton alright?!" She had a pleading look in her eyes.
Phoenix held up the phone again. "Trucy! Is Anton there with you?"
"Doctor Hickfield said that he's asleep at the moment, but he said that he's been keeping an extra special eye on me!"
( Does she mean the actual Doctor Hickfield or...? ) "Ah...okay..."
Bloom looked down to the floor.
"Actually daddy, I called you so I can help you with Polly!"
"Y-You mean...what happened?" Phoenix stuttered.
"Yup! I even saw who did it!"
"W-WHAAAAAT-?!" ( R-Really-?! Then Apollo might-! )
"Yeah! You see, when we entered the room, someone knocked Apollo and Anton out cold! So I went to turn around, but then someone went to grab my neck scarf! So I went to grab them......it...........ni....."
"T-Trucy?" ( How...Odd... )
"Da...ca....ck..."
( I'll have to call her back later... )
Phoenix put the phone down.
"Anything?" Bloom brushed her hair out of her face.
"Trucy tried to grab someone...but then it started to go funny...."
"You mean that someone was interfering with the signal?"
"I didn't-"
"It was on loudspeaker. I could tell it was being listened to you know."
"So-"
"Most likely the killer. Looks like they're going to great lengths to hide themselves..."
( Will I ever get to finish a sentence without an interruption? ) "I say we go visit Apollo...and round up things there."
"Right!" She smiled. "Let's go!"
April 13 1:46PM
Detention Centre - Visitors Room
( Why does there have to be traffic today? )
"Ah-!"
Apollo saw Pheonix and Polly.
Phoenix smiled "Hey Ap-"
"Are you okay-?! Did they hurt you-?!" Bloom gripped the table.
"W-What-?" Apollo looked confused for a moment. "N-No they didn't-"
"G-Great-!" She chuckled nervously.
"So...how does everything look for me?" Apollo put his hand on his forehead.
"I can't say anything for sure yet, but...." Phoenix paused.
"...I'm finished. Aren't I." Apollo sighed.
"We didn't say that!" Bloom tugged her hair.
"We know that the killer is going to great lengths to hide their identity." Phoenix continued. "Trucy said tha-"
"T-Trucy-?!" Apollo gasped. "She's-?"
"Out of her coma...thankfully." He chuckled. "She said that she saw the killer, but we got cut off."
"Hey..." Apollo looked around. "Where's Athena?"
"Athena?" Bloom tilted her head. "She didn't come to see you?"
"No...Did something happen?" Apollo clenched his fist.
"...She's probably waiting for us back at the agency." Phoenix assured. "If not, I'm sure she'll be at your trial..."
"...right." Apollo rubbed his arm. "...At my trial...."
