Other than catch a glimpse of a few book spines and the first floor, McCoy hadn't gotten the chance check out the store fully. He'd still managed to uncover a few interesting things before he left. It wasn't exactly the answer, or even close to it, about how to get out of here, or what they had planned for them, or even who these people really were ( Read more... )

It was starting to rain by the time Jim finished giving out his orders for the coming night, as well as the go-ahead to split up and investigate. McCoy gave Jim a nod before he headed off. The air was even colder now, water splattering onto face and shoulders ( Read more... )

Only one more patient to see and the week would be over -- in a manner of speaking, that was. Her official work would be ended, but tomorrow? Ah, tomorrow. Unless the schedule was changed (and why should it be?) tomorrow the patients would be on their field trip to Doyleton. Wandering about town with some pretense at freedom, and right where she ( Read more... )

The week was almost over, and hopefully the next would be back to normal; Makiko rather disliked having her routine disturbed, even when said routine was as newly established as this one was. All of her annoyance disappeared, however, as soon as she heard the news that morning. Dr. Burroughs had apparently left, her patients distributed among the ( Read more... )

The nameplate on her desk wasn't quite even. Makiko frowned at it as she returned to her office for the afternoon session, then paused to put it back in the right spot, carefully aligned with the edge of the desk. It must have been knocked askew by her morning patient, he of the smart mouth and aggravating attitude. No matter, though. She'd dealt ( Read more... )

Someone old, someone new, Makiko mused, looking at the schedule for this shift. Mr. Riedel would be returning, it seemed, and wouldn't that be interesting. She certainly owed him for the week before -- no matter that the broken nose had healed before even her next session that day, no matter her own slight revenge, the fact remained that he'd ( Read more... )

The next session with Mr. Derringer should be an interesting one indeed, Makiko mused as she settled in her office for the afternoon patients. The groundwork was laid, after all, and now she knew exactly how to proceed. It was sad that she had to make preparations for such a sub-par specimen as he was, but - well, unplanned efforts had resulted in ( Read more... )

The extra day off had been a bit of a surprise, explained to her apologetically by the Institute staff as a last-minute schedule change. Despite the fact that such a change would have little to no effect on her plans, if there was anything that Makiko disliked, it was something unexpected. That in and of itself had been sufficient to put her in an ( Read more... )

The sun was starting to set, and it was with a heavy sigh that Edgeworth stepped out of Twin Pines and out onto the street. The tea had helped, but there was still a sense of worry that he couldn't shake. There was, of course, the entire situation with Franziska, but now both Javert and this new person calling themselves 'Justice' were in the ( Read more... )
