As a forward, I'd like to let everyone know that Fern Northwood (Hamasaki Yasuko) is an original character of mine and that Twiv the Phantom Thief (Hashiba Akiko) is an original character owned by IloveSaiyans. Ya'll can find her on deviantArt and take a look at some really amazing art that she has drawn. I have permission from IloveSaiyans to use Twiv as a character in my fan-fics and she has my permission to use Fern in her fan-fics.

The Notice
"Inspector Mouri!"
Inspector Megure's voice rang through the hallway as he approached the door to the Mouri Detective Agency.
"Go Yoko!" was the reply from the closed door.
"Mouri Kogoro!" yelled Megure, as he stormed into the small office. As he walked in he saw the floor was littered with empty beer cans and cigarette butts and in the middle of the mess was a desk. And in the chair that was by the desk was a half-drunk detective laughing hysterically at the television that was on the table.
"Oh hello Megure!" said the detective, opening another can of beer.
"This is no time to get drunk or to be watching Yoko Okino!" yelled Megure, slamming a piece of paper onto the table in front of him.
"Huh?" replied the red-faced detective, as he picked up the paper. "Another notice from Kid?!"
"Yes. This time he's targeting the Suzuki Corporation again. Looks like Jirokichi is going to come up with another plan to try and catch him," replied the unamused inspector.
'I will make the Nightshade of the Woods mine at midnight tonight
- Kaitou Kid'
"Tonight? So this was sent today?" asked Kogoro.
"Yes, in fact Inspector Nakamori faxed it to me about an hour ago."
The door to the agency opened and a tall girl with long brown hair and blue eyes walked in. "I'm back!" she announced as she set down the grocery bag she was carrying. "Oh. Inspector Megure", she said, walking up to the inspector.
"Hello Ran," replied Megure. "I just stopped by to show your father the new notice."
"So Kid sent another notice. What's he stealing tonight?" asked another voice. This time it came from the short seven year old, Edogawa Conan. One might think that this is a strange name, which it is, probably because it's not his real name. Conan-kun here was once the famous high school detective, Kudo Shinichi, but he was drugged and shrunk into a second grader. Now, he can reveal his true identity to no one, because this would put all of his friends and family into danger.
"None of your business!" replied Kogoro, angrily.
"Oh, he's targeting Sonoko's uncle again," said Conan, as he read the notice that was lying on the table.
"What the-" yelled Kogoro, as he turned around to see Conan standing on his desk chair. "Give me that!" He quickly snatched the copied notice, folded it up, and placed it into his pocket.
"Oji-san! Can we go with you to see Kaitou Kid?" asked Conan.
"No, you can't go! Besides you'll probably just get lost in the crowd," replied Kogoro.
Hehe. I remember our last trip to Tropical Land. We spent over two hours trying to find you, thought Conan, but he didn't say anything.
"But Oji-san. I want to see Kid! I want to see Kid!" yelled Conan, as he started one of his little tantrums. That's probably one of the only good things of being seven years old. If you start screaming and yelling, adults will give you whatever you want, just to get you to stop, he thought as he jumped up and down.
"Okay, okay! You and Ran can go as long as you stop that," said the half-drunk detective, as he opened the door.
"It's almost nine o'clock. We'd better get going. Suzuki said that he wanted us there as soon as possible," said Megure.
"Okay, let me change my clothes and I'll be right there," said Ran, as she walked towards her room.
