"WHAT THE HECK?!" Was the first thing that Shinichi heard when he walked out the door. Not exactly something a normal person would want to hear first thing in the morning, but of course, Shinichi, being the one to love a good mystery, ran off to see where the yelling was coming from, hoping for a good case to solve. It's been real quiet lately and he was itching for a case to solve, but, it was only a fat kid with a bald spot on the side of his head who stumped his toe who had yelled. A girl with a head band, and a skinny boy with freckles was checking to see if the fat boy was ok.

Seesh, thought Shinichi. If i dont solve a case soon I'm gonna explode! Just then, a scream was heard, so Shinichi ran off, hoping for a case. It was just Sonoko, who was letting out a scream because of some guy she saw. Kudou was disappointed. He looked at his watch to check the time. Looking for cases to solve ate up quite a bit of time and now Shinichi was going to be late if he didn't hurry to school. He started to run. Why haven't there been any cases lately? Shinichi wondered.

~~~Before Conan Came Along~~~

Three good things came out of not having to solve any cases lately.

Ichi(One), Kudou finally had time to himself, and to relax.

Ni(Two), No one was getting hurt, or robbed, or anything of the sort.

And san(Three), He got to spend more time with Ran Mouri, his childhood friend(who he secretly has a crush on).

But one bad thing came out of not having any cases. Shinichi often got bored often, his entertainment was solving cases, the tough ones. He is a high school detective after all, and a famous one at that. Everyone knew his name, everyone knew his face. Only thing his fans wanted to know if they could get his number, and a date.

Ran's dad wasn't much of a fan though. He was always mad at Shinichi and cursed under his breath everytime he saw him in the papers. Why? Because he was jealous, of course! No matter what he did, Kogoro Mouri couldn't solve a single case, and there was Shinichi, all over the papers, solving cases that he couldn't. Kogoro muddered another curse under his breath, then punched the table. "THAT BRAT! WHAT DOES HE HAVE THAT I DON'T?"

The answer was simple: A brain.

After school, Shinichi decided to check in on the police headquarters to see why there weren't any cases. Usually Shinichi would get a phone call or something when a new case came in, but he hasn't got one yet. I wonder why the cases just stopped coming. He wondered.

When shinichi walked in, Inspector Megure was talking with Sato, Takagi, and Shiratori.

"I don't belive Shinichi would do such a thing!" Takagi said.

"Well that's what he said! I couldn't imagine him lying!" Shiratori replied.

"But is there even any proof he did such a thing?" Sato asked. "You can't just say he did if there wasn't any proof!"

Shinichi walked up to the four. "Hey, what's going on?" He asked. "Who said what about me?"

They all turned and looked at him. Sato, with sad, and worried eyes. Shiratori with cold, unforgiving eyes. Takagi with a confused look on his face, and a painful look on Megure's face. Shinichi's blood ran cold. Megure walked up to him, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Shinichi, listen," he said. "Maybe you should take a break from detective work for a while, you know, like a vacation." Shinichi just stook there, not knowing what to say, or what to do.

SPOILER ALERT!SPOLIER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!

"We recieved a phone call from an anonymous person, who said they witnessed you doing a supicous trade with a man in a black coat" Inspector Megure said.

"Who said it though?" Shinichi asked.

"I'm not allowed to-"

"Who said it?!" Shinichi said, almost yelling.

"..We're not sure" Megure said.

Of course he knows who did it. Shinichi thought. I heard what Shiratori said.

"Well that's what he said! I couldn't imagine him lying!"

You would have to know the person to say something like that. They know exactly who said it, they just won't tell me!
