Disclaimer: I do not own Detective Conan or any of the characters.

Author's Note: I am still continuing my The Beginning of the End story, but I'm a little stuck and with all of the work from school, I haven't had much time to write anything. I will make this new story and will continue with my other one once I receive some new ideas. This story will be based on the movie Mr. Smith goes to Washington by Frank Capra.

Chapter 1

"Can you believe it Kogoro!"

"I know, I know. Now we'll have to find a new detective for the job, Gin." Kogoro was not in a happy mood and Gin was just as frustrated, if not more.

"Yes, but we need someone who will NOT interfere with our plans. We need someone who we can either trust, or someone who is a plain idiot." Everyone in the organization had to think quickly before the public spread news of the death of Vodka.

"Yes, but who can we get at such short notice?" Kogoro was dumbfounded and did not know who would be the perfect candidate for this position.

"Well, we could always get that Hattori boy. He's a pretty good detective and he's still young. He won't try to get into much trouble plus, his father is part of the organization as well. He's the best choice we've got."

"Hattori? I guess he will be a good candidate, but why not let his own father decide? So Hattori-san, what do you think about your son becoming part of the organization?" Kogoro was sure that Hattori-san would agree to this idea.

"I guess he would be a good choice. I'll ask him tonight; see how he feels about taking on the family business." Hattori-san was sure that his son would agree to take this position since all he really does is play detective and this is a good opportunity for the young lad to sharpen his skills.

At the Hattori House…

"No!" Heiji Hattori responded to his father's offer.

"What!? I don't understand! This is a good opportunity for you. You could develop your detective skills and I won't complain about you making mistakes anymore!" Hattori-san could not understand the reason for his son's disagreement.

"Yes, I know, but you see Kazuha and I have already agreed that once we get married, I will stay out of the organization because it would take time away from the family."

"You can't be serious. I've been working at the organization for years! And what do I get from it? A perfect family with everything anyone could dream of! You're just a spoiled brat, that's all. You don't think what we have is good enough so you just want to marry that girl and start a 'family.' What rubbish that is." Hattori-san was more than furious and thought that his son must have fallen off a cliff.

"Look, I'm sorry dad, I really am. But I really want to have a peaceful family with Kazuha. I don't want to run off here and there while my future wife stays at home. Look here I've got an idea, all you guys want is a young detective right?"

"Well, yes son." Hattori-san was curious as to what his son's idea was.

"Well, why not bring Kudo? You remember him, don't you dad? He's even a better detective than I am, that's for sure."

"Kudo?...Oh you mean that Tokyo boy? Well, it's been a while since I last saw him. I'm sure he's a pretty good detective considering you two always use to go around solving those childish murders you two made out of my house and your mother's priceless dolls."

"Ahh…hahahaha…yeah well, now he solves real murders and is making a name for himself out in the east. You could take him, since he's single and probably won't want a family for quite a while." Hattori could not believe he did not think about this sooner since Kudo will be the perfect person to be a detective for the organization.

"Hmmm…sure, ok. I'll go ask the others to see if they'll agree to this change. I'll be right back." Hattori went to his study to make a phone call to Gin and the other members of the organization.

"Hello, Gin? This is Hattori."

"Well, did your son agree to the proposition?" Gin was anxious to know if he found a new recruit or not.

"Well, my son did not agree to the job, but he mentioned another candidate that will be perfect for the job. It's a old friend of my son's and he's a pretty good detective. Maybe you've heard of him, his name is Shinichi Kudo."

"Shinichi Kudo eh? Well yes I've heard of him. He is a pretty good detective. Alright recruit him as soon as possible and make sure he agrees! We can't afford any more delays; the public is already starting to take attention to Vodka's death." Gin knew he could not afford anymore time for the press has been questioning every member of the organization. The public could not know the reason of Vodka's sudden death.

"Yes, I understand. Goodbye Gin." Hattori-san hung up the phone and went back to his son.

"Heiji, it's decided that Shinichi will be used for this position. I want you to get him to take this job and I do not want any delayed time, understand?" Hattori-san knew that his son would try to get Kudo as fast as possible.

"Yes dad, I'll tell him now. Goodnight father."

"Goodnight son, tell me when your friends going to come here. Make sure he gets here before the end of the week."

"Yes sir!" Heiji went up to his room to get his friend to join his father's job in the organization.
