Beep... Beep... Beep... Beeeeeeep...

Detective! We made it!

Whew... What a relief. Glad the jewel is still safe.

Ho ho! You said it, pal. It musta been our rock solid security that scared him off!

Would you mind opening the safe just to double check?

Aaaaaaaaaah! We've been had!

O-Out front! Guards! Turn on the searchlights!

Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Better luck next time, gentlemen!

Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Excuse me, but I'm afraid I must be leaving now!

October 11, 3:24 PM Wright & Co. Law Offices

Maya:

Hey, Nick! Get a load of this! Hey, are you listening to me!? You can clean the toilet later! This is important!

Phoenix:
 * sigh* What are you freaking out about now?

Maya:

Hey hee. Today will be the last time you talk to me that way!

Phoenix:

Huh?

Maya:

We're about to hit the big time!

Phoenix:

"Big time"? And what do you mean by "we"? You don't mean you and me are...?

Maya:

Ha! Don't be silly. I'm talking about me and Pearly, of course!

Pearl:

Hello. It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:

Pearls! You haven't changed a bit! Wait... What are you doing here anyway?

Pearl:

Hey hee. Haven't you heard, Mr. Nick? Here! Take a look at this!

Phoenix:

(What's this...? Some kind of poster?) Kurain Village... Isn't that...?

Maya:

That's right. It's our hometown... Pearly and mine, that is.

Phoenix:

What's this about "treasures" from the boonies?

Maya:

Ha ha ha. Very funny. You can laugh all you want... But you'll be singing another tune tonight!

Phoenix:

Tonight? What about tonight?

Pearl:

The "Treasures of Kurain" exhibit doesn't actually start until next week, but... ...the promoter sent us some special VIP entry passes!

Maya:

That's why I dressed up extra special today! What do you think, Nick?

Phoenix:

(Heh. Same Maya. Different Day.)

Phoenix:

This young lady here is Maya Fey... The younger sister of Mia Fey... ...My friend and mentor. I first met her two years ago... I was working on the case surrounding Mia's death, and ever since then...

Maya:

I've been the one who's been keeping this law office afloat from behind the scenes.

Phoenix:

Actually that's just a cover for her true identity... In reality, she's a spirit medium, and a bit of a shady character.

Maya:

Hey! Who are you calling "shady"!?

Phoenix:

And this little girl is Pearl Fey, but I usually call her "Pearls". She's Maya's cousin and a spirit medium in training herself.

Pearl:

I know I'm a bit young, but I want to help in any way I can, Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:

Kurain Village is the home of the mysterious Kurain Channelling Technique. And Maya here is the daughter of the Kurain School of Channelling's Master. ...I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's no joke. I've seen her power with my own eyes... It's the real thing alright.

Maya:

Earth to Nick! How long are you going to make two gorgeous women like us wait!?

Pearl:

Yes, Mr. Nick! I can't wait any longer! I want to see the exhibit!

Phoenix:

(*sigh* Looks like I don't get a choice here. Might as well head on out...)
