after speaking with wokcy at the detention centre, trucy had the idea to go speak with eldoon about the clinic since he used to be a doctor, apollo honestly wasn't so sure about the idea, but it's not like he had anything better to work with, it took a good hour until finally they found him at his own house, trucy rushed up right to him, apollo just barely catching up to her

'Mr. Eldoon! We've been looking all over for you!'

the man looked down at her

'What's the matter, Trucy-doll?'

'Apollo! Show him what we found! Nothing like expert advice!'

"I... suppose he is a doctor still..."

he had to catch his breathe, as he was about to show him, he heard sniffling coming from eldoon, when he looked up to meet his eyes, his head was down, covering his face

'Mr. Eldoon! Is everything OK?'

'I'm just *sniffle* so happy! I just thought my doctor days were gone for good. *sniffle*'

he said before pulling himself together

"Mr. Eldoon..."

he thought a little sadly to himself, then took out the medical charts from his bag

'Um, Mr. Eldoon, could you take a look at this?'

eldoon looked down at the charts as he raised a brow

'Hrm? A medical chart? Hey, you shouldn't go around taking these from clinics! ...'

he scowled, and apollo couldn't really argue with him on that, trucy however, cocked her head to the side as she raised a brow at off eldoon seemed

'Why the sudden silence, Mr. Eldoon?'

'What...? What's going on here!?'

he asked, apollo held back a huff as he said

'That's what we want to know! That chart belongs to my client'

'He's on trial... On suspicion of murder'

she explained, elddon's eyes widen as he looked at two to see if they were joking, they weren't they were dead serious

'On trial! That's crazy! You can't put him on trial! He's ABD!'

'...ABD?'

she asked, apollo didn't even know what that meant

'All but dead. He's knocking on the Pearly Gates, and someone's about to answer'

apollo's eyes widen in worry, if his client was in serious condition, a trial wouldn't be able to happen, and the murder would be forever free

'C-Can you tell us why?'

'... Well, permit me to speak as a surgeon... You listen up good now, son'

he said getting more serious then usual, apollo took out his notepad and pen as fast as he could, not wanting to miss any details

"No way... It's like he's a completely different person..."

eldoon glanced back the the charts in his hands, as he summarized the medical statues

'Well, according to this chart... this "Wocky Kitaki" feller's not doing so well. He's got a bullet right up side his heart!'

apollo nodded

'That's right'

'Yeah, but this chart talks about the post-op... In other words, the operation is already finished! ...But you can still see that bullet stuck in there'
