"Oh, tell me about it. I had a few people who I had thought was good, but...ah, they decided to try to run off with a few of the deliveries." A small shrug. "I might need to ask where you get your employees now."

"I know that it's difficult to find good people. But the best people are so loyal." A small smirk as he approaches as well-

Hah, ethics. Ethics are man made and bullshit. It's amazing how quick a code can shift. ...present situation is at least the proof of that. To Kain, it should be simple. Self preservation and one dangerous criminal down versus two on the loose with one aimed at him. Damned morals.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.And pass it along he did. Though Miles wasn't entirely sure what to do with the information. As Gumshoe had said, he had a code of ethics. He paced his office, thinking it over.
"You're on the edge of making his life very difficult, Gumshoe. Just pass the damn message along." Click- Voice going quiet. ....Gumshoe made him want to smack his head against a freezer door. All the bluster and energy of a comic book goon, hated it. Haaaaate.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr."He's not doin' any shady bullshit for you. If he finds out this person is innocent then no deal. You hear me?"
"Oh, calm down. If I wanted zealous advocacy, I'd watch the news. It's simple. I got a problem person on my hands and I don't want to end them with my normal means. But justice needs to be done. And your chief is the best route for that. Got it?"
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.". . . Help you how, hm? Mr. Edgeworth doesn't just bow down to anyone, you know!"
"Oh, that's rich. You know what. Fine then." Didn't often like it when things were off plan. But let's see if he can't goad something. "You make this decision then. I'll get out of your precious prosecutor's hair. No more threats, no more messages. But he and you will need to help me."
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr."If you wanna talk to him you're gonna have to do it through me! He doesn't leave the office for just anyone, pal!"
They wouldn't find him there. It wasn't too much trouble to take control of the system here. To have cameras for eyes and speakers for mouths while he was safely away. "Then he's going to need to make time. A simple deal is all I'm wanting, and I'll be out of your hair for good."
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.Gumshoe looked around and gestured for the police to keep investigating. "The Chief Prosecutor is very busy, pal! He doesn't have time to waste on the likes of you!"
Haaaaaah. The disappointment would almost be clear in the voice in the air. There would be no danger for Gumshoe or the police. "I wanted the Prosecutor here, not the lap dog. Is he so busy that he cannot give the time of day?" The voice in the speakers of the haunted house.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.Hm. Well it's better than nothing. He arranged for Gumshoe to investigate the haunted house with police backup, just to be safe.
He might not like what the report has to say. The internal data was clearly manipulated in such a way to indicate the other was well versed in tech. A repeating message in the code. A location, a certain haunted house of a local theme park. Come alone or not, it doesn't matter.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.Ah. What a pleasant surprise. The phone was given to the forensics team and analyzed. The full report was sent directly to Miles, who read it thoroughly.
Relaxing and focusing is good. He'll need that relaxation soon enough. "Damn it....Damn it all!" Kain wasn't having himself the best of days either. But he could at least try to make a push for something. Gumshoe might find himself in possession of a burner phone that wasn't destroyed.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.In the days that followed Miles took comfort in the fact that Gumshoe was making progress. He allowed himself to relax and focus back on his work. He still has a lot of things to do before the full transition of power was completed.
Gumshoe.... Gumshoe was always the most infuriating part of everything in that Kain couldn't predict him. He was...an idiot. Loyal to the core, but certainly trouble in that the usual things wouldn't work against him. But... He could feed small things. Little clues. Something to placate.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.Eventually he calmed down, was able to get back into his work mindset, even if still a little on edge. He was determined to complete his job. He instructed Gumshoe to return to finding out who his stalker is.
Actually, yes, it is far too much to ask. People need to be taught the proper emotions, the proper mentality to take with things. And Edgeworth was just the prime target to aim at for this... There is a purpose to his needling. To his threats.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.He just wanted a smooth transition. To be able to get started on work without issue. But now he has a detective coaching him through a breathing exercise while his office is investigated. One day. Is that really too much to ask?
Oh, dear chief prosecutor, do not be so alarmed. All it means is that someone is keeping a very, very careful watch upon his activities~ There will be no sign of actual trouble. Not for a while. But there will be one thing that may come up. If he is ready for it.
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.He's seen the flowers. He's ready the note. The anxiety has returned with a vengeance. He contacted Gumshoe and Helms immediately, pacing his office while texting them both frantically.

....... Tch. It won't be long before there's a gift being sent to his office. Just a set of flowers to spruce up the place along with a simple note. 'I haven't forgotten. But other matters have stolen my attention. I hope you're a better Chief than your predecessor.'
𝐌. 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 ♟️@gladiusveritatis.bsky.social · last yr.He's been promoted. Chief Prosecutor, complete with a new office and new job role. There's some relief after what happened to his previous office. With all the moving and preparing for his new role his previous anxiety is long forgotten. For now. @anechodistorted.bsky.social
"Here's the thing, I don't like most people I deal with. All of you are just pawns and puppets, fit to dance on strings or fill my wants. But don't you dare attribute to me your own messes."
Whoa whoa whoa- OK, I was fine fucking around with pompous asshole, but I didn't do that to his sis. That's a special kind of low.
Ok so for the record. The prosecutor in the hospital this time was not his fault.
