Edgeworth: (...It's time.)

Gumshoe: Don't worry, Mr. Edgeworth! I'll be following your every movement with my vinoculars!

Edgeworth: Good to hear. Now make sure you don't lose sight of me. I'm counting on you for backup.

Gumshoe: You can count on me, sir!

Edgeworth: I have to go. The kidnapper is supposed to contact me soon. (Who would've thought that upon my return, I'd be thrust into a kidnapping case. And that I would be the one who would have to make the ransom drop-off...)

-

Edgeworth: (Let's see... I checked that the money is all there, safe inside this suitcase... Now all I have to do is await further instructions from the kidnapper... ...which I'm expecting to be transferred to my cell phone. I wonder who else is around? This is meeting place, after all...)

???: Welcome to Gatewater Land!

Edgeworth: Hm? Oh, thank you.

Proto B.: And a big hello to you! I'm the Proto Badger! Nice to meet you! ............

Edgeworth: ............

Proto B.: Excuse me, but were you perhaps thinking of taking a picture of me?

Edgeworth: A picture...? Of you...? Sorry, but I'm not interested.

Proto B.: Aww, that's too bad. Well, have a good day!

Edgeworth: ...Hello?

???: ...Who aRE yOu? YoU'Re nOt ERNesT AmaNo!

Edgeworth: (It sounds like the kidnapper is using some sort of voice alteration device...) I'm his representative, Miles Edgeworth.

???: ...ARE YoU a cOP ?

Edgeworth: No, I'm......... a prosecutor.

???: ............

Edgeworth: ............ I know what you're wondering, and yes, I have brought the ransom money with me.

Edgeworth: Nnngh............ .................. (I was hoping for an exchange, but maybe I should do as they say for now and not push it.)

Edgeworth: (I couldn't catch even a glimpse of the kidnapper. Perhaps I should keep an eye on this haunted house until police backup arrives. Agh! It was a trap!)
