Case 14: Turnabout Information

[little_thief]

[Kay jolts upright in her bed the morning after the last day of the Westport event.  She's an odd combination of rested and terrified, waking up in a cold sweat with her heart racing at a million miles a minute.  She looks around her room in confusion, at once relieved and disturbed at having been suddenly transported back to Mayfield.  Throwing off the covers, she immediately begins searching around for the page from Richard Grey's diary that she and Lucas had found in Westport's library, finally managing to locate it on the nightstand next to her bed.  Breathing a sigh of relief, she carefully wedges it in between several of the pages in her notebook.  Then she picks up the phone and dials out to see what's going on now that she's finally back.]

What happened?  The last thing I remember, I was hiding in a closet back in Westport, but now I'm safely back in my bed...  Are the rest of you back too?  Who else found clues over there?  I still have the one I was guarding.  We should organize a meeting sometime to put everything together and figure out what the town was trying to tell us.

[Filtered to Ichabod Crane]

Mr. Crane, I have something to show you.

[After his conversations.]

Kay! Kay -- they're all back. They're all back . . . Everyone. It's OK.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

That's great! I'm so relieved...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Miss Margot called right after you did. It looks like . . . It looks like we really did it. I'm so glad.

I wonder . . . I wonder how it happened, though?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I don't know. This town does a lot of screwed up things.

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

...I guess everyone really is back.

[[it sounds like a big weight on his chest has been removed]]

It's far from over. If you've got any information to share with those of us who were still in Mayfield, I'd like to see it, if possible.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"Sure, come over anytime."

[Kay gives her address, because the mun is too damned lazy to look it up right now.]

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in a moment, if that's alright.

[[Massimo sounds anxious, tired, but still relieved.]]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Can you give me about a half hour or so? I'd really like to get a shower and change my clothes.

[bombbrat]

...you found something?

[Nope. No "Hey Kay! Are you alright?" from him.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Gokudera! You're all right!

[bombbrat]

Yeah. I'm fine.

What did you find?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I have a page out of Richard Grey's journal.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey look, not!daughter is home. He gives you a flat look.]

When'd you get back?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't look terribly sure herself.]

"Sometime between when I fell asleep last night and waking up this morning. I don't even remember coming back at all."

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Huh. That's weird.

Manage to find anything over there?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A weird note. I think it was written by someone who was in on this whole Mayfield thing at the start of it all. His name was Richard Grey.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Everyone seems to be coming back now.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness...

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

How was it?

[ignorant.livejournal.com]

Kay!

[ Yamamoto feels awful. Mainly because she was there and he didn't find her, or see her. Some boyfriend he is. ]

I'm so glad you're safe.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Takeshi! You're okay!

...You are okay, right?

[ignorant.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am!

[ Pause. ]

I'm...so sorry. That I couldn't find you.

[Well, that voice is a blast from the past. What was her name again? Kay. Kay something.]

You... wouldn't happen to know a Miles Edgeworth, do you?

If not, feel free to ignore the question. You have your own stuff going on.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yes! How do you know Mr. Edgeworth...?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[So Kay doesn't remember her. Or, more probably, doesn't recognize the older voice.]

My name's Ema, Ema Skye. We met several years ago at Gatewater Land. You were working with Mr. Edgeworth on a kidnapping case, if I remember correctly...

You are that thief girl, right? Kay?
