"What? We're going on a cruise?"
She nodded happily. "Isn't this great? We've got to start packing! The taxi will be here to fetch us an hour later, so hurry up, alright?"
"Okay," chirped the kid, and he ran off to his room to get his luggage ready. "Oh, and by the way, Ran-neechan? Uncle's gotten drunk again. How are we supposed to get him to pack?"
Ran slapped her forehead in exasperation, and then went off in a huff to look for her dad.
Later, the three of them were on the huge lavish ship, Kogoro, Ran and Conan. They were unpacking their suitcases in the cabin that was reserved for them when there was a knock on the door. Conan immediately went to open it. Outside, a bespectacled, primly-dressed man stood and informed them, "The President will see to you now. Please follow me to the ship's office." And so they went.
"I'll introduce myself first; my name is Hideki Nekobi, personal secretary to President Seiko Takashi, of Takashi Enterprises. Now, the President has acquired an exceptional treasure, as you all should know by now, given that you read the papers regularly, I presume?" The escort looked approvingly at the detective, who replied with a hastily crafted "yes". The escort seemed pleased for a second, before continuing his story.
"A few days after obtaining the legendary Angel of Destiny, President Takashi has received a letter from the notorious Kaito Kid, informing her about his next heist, which concerns the Angel. That is why she decided to call upon you and your services, Detective Mouri, to defend the Angel at all costs from this phantom thief." Kogoro and Ran both nodded in silence, whilst Conan kept staring at the note peeking out of the escort's pocket. Finally he said aloud, "Mr Nekobi? Isn't that the letter from Kaito Kid that's sticking out of your pocket?"
The escort was taken aback for a moment, then quickly composed himself and answered, "Why yes, little boy, how'd you know it was?"
"I can see Kaito Kid's signature on it."
Mr Nekobi laughed, and ruffled the boy's hair. "You're a sharp one, kiddo. Maybe one day you'll grow up to be a great detective like Detective Mouri here." "Are you kidding? He's no match for me!" Kogoro laughed heartily at his own joke, whilst Ran did her best to calm him down and hide her giggles at the same time.
Conan looked up at them through half-mooned eyes. "You mean that I would beat Kogoro hands down," he thought, the words themselves dripping with concentrated sarcasm.
Mr Nekobi led the trio to a door on the upper deck, one that had a sign with the word 'Head Office' emblazoned onto it. He knocked on the door smartly twice, and then invited them inside.
The office was a bright peach colour, decorated with little knick-knacks that the President had collected over the years. The president herself was seated in a red revolving chair behind a cherry desk, sorting out sheets of papers into their respective folders. She peered up at the visitors through her frameless glasses as they entered, then said, "Please, Detective Mouri, sit down," and showed them to a long sofa in the spacious room. After they had settled down, she got up and formally introduced herself.
"I don't suppose Hideki here has already told you about your purpose on this ship. Anyways, here is the letter I have received from Kaito Kid." She picked the letter out of Mr Nekobi's eager hands and handed it to Kogoro, who unfolded it and read it out aloud.
"To the President of Takashi Enterprises: When the clock strikes thirteen at midnight, on the day that the silver comet will shoot through the night sky, I shall have the Angel of Destiny safely in my hands. Signed, Kaito Kid."
Kogoro pondered over the letter for a while, and then snapped his fingers in delight. "I know! When the clock strikes at midnight, there would only be twelve chimes, right? But the thirteenth would have to come from the chime that sounds at one in the morning, so his heist takes place at one in the morning! But I don't get the part about the comet. Which day does it mean?"
"Well...There's a comet passing by this area at night, I think it's called...er...Ah yes, the Volley Comet?" offered Mr Nekobi helpfully.
"Ah yes! That's what he's referring to in the letter! Good thinking, Detective Mouri!" President Takashi clapped her hands in child-like glee. "Now that we know when Kaito Kid would strike, the Inspector should have no difficulty in apprehending that thief!"
Conan sat up at the mention of an 'inspector'. "Inspector? Who else did you invite to this party?"
"Only the head of the Kaito Kid Task Force in the Metropolitan Police—Nakamori Ginzo and his police officers." She replied with a little smile, and as if on cue, Inspector Nakamori sprung out from behind a curtain with his pistol cocked. "Hands up!" he yelled, and the three people sprung their hands up into the air. The inspector then strode briskly over to them and began his usual disguise-proofing: yanking at their faces, including Conan's, until they looked as if they had gone for a marathon. "Luckily none of you is Kaito kid," said he after the painful tests, "Boy, when I catch that petty thief, I'm gonna—"
"Dad!"
A teenage girl with short bobbed hair had appeared at the doorway. She entered the room purposefully, and dragged the person she called 'dad' to a corner, then started lecturing him about the disguise tests. Her companion, a tall, lanky teenager with sooty messed-up hair and azure blue eyes, was leaning by the doorway, surveying the situation in the room. As his eyes fell on the only child in the area, they seemed to widen with surprise momentarily, before returning to their initial impassiveness once more. "Yo, Aoko, leave the old geezer alone and let's get out of here."He signalled to the girl, who answered by dropping a fish into the guy's hands. "That's for you, Kuroba Kaito, so you'll stop interrupting me when I'm talking to my dad!" she cried, then turned back to her father.
Kaito suddenly turned a deathly pale, his eyes almost seemed to pop out of their sockets, and cold sweat trickled down the side of his head. Finally he snapped and dropped the fish, and ran off down the corridor as fast as his legs would carry him, screaming his heart out. The fish dropped to the ground, landing with a wet splat on the floorboards.
Aoko doubled over and laughed, then went over to retrieve the fish and placed it back into the nearby aquarium, then apologised to President Takashi. All the while, Conan, Ran and Kogoro sat quietly in their seats, hoping that none of the mayhem would involve them. Conan though, was secretly practising identifying the two teenagers: the boy, whom the girl called Kuroba Kaito, and the girl, who was Inspector Nakamori's daughter—Nakamori Aoko. Whilst his caretakers were distracted with Aoko and her dad, he silently slipped out the door.
