The Turnabout of Hope Book 1: Establishing the Truth in Our Lives

Chapter 35: Too Many Invitations

Well, he's excited. I can't blame him. Getting a package from a family member is always something awesome! Well, Athena and I were looking over cases just as Kyoko and Kay entered the office with bright grins on their faces.

(Phoenix's POV)

"Ah nice to see you two here. How was your day?" I asked them with a grin.

"Pretty good. Soon, I'll be done with classes and then start my training of being the Great Thief Detective!" Kay shouted with pride in her voice.

"As for me, I wanted to ask Makoto if he dropped off his letter to you, Mr. Wright" Kyoko said seriously.

"Yeah, I got it. Don't worry. I was just about to RSVP to your school that the Wright Anything Agency is coming to your school for the dance!" I answered her warmly as she then sat at Makoto's small desk.

Maya got up from the couch as she noticed something odd.

"Hey, where's Pearls?" Maya asked worriedly as I noticed that Pearls wasn't here along with Trucy!

"Hey! Trucy was supposed to be with her too!" I shouted worriedly.

"They might be outside the train station. Let's go" Maya said to me as she tried to calm herself down.

"R-right! Let's check there. Kay, go home. Athena, you're in charge of the office" I ordered.

We left the office and rushed to the station. We found little Pearls there by herself. She looked worried. Maya rushed to embrace her while I panicked. Trucy wasn't with her...

"Oh, my gods, Pearly, what are you doing here?!" Maya asked worriedly as she checked on her.

Pearls looked fine, but I couldn't find Trucy.

"I was just waiting for Trucy to return" Pearls answered, "She ran off there. She had a note too"

Why would Trucy listen to a note?! I have to find her!

"Ok, Maya take Pearl back home. Kyoko, please call Gumshoes. Just have people start looking for her! Oh gods, Trucy!" I shouted as I ran down the street and searched for her, my light.

Please, please! Don't let Trucy be in danger! Please let me find her!

Well, that was a prank text. Never trust a text from a number that claims to be a delivery companion. Sigh, I thought I got a package from home. I would kill for some tea and snacks from home.

"Dimere!" Trucy shouted in delight as I stopped for a moment.

What is she doing here?! I rushed into the building and climb up the stairs and found Trucy sitting in the center of the room! What is she doing here?!

"Trucy?!" I shouted surprised as I rushed towards her.

"Hi Polly! What's up? Why are you here?" Trucy asked curiously, "Oh! Are you going to meet daddy here too?!"

Wait, what? Mr. Wright would never send his daughter to a dangerous location. Why do I get the feeling we've been set up? But who would want to set us up? Does someone want to get rid of us?!
