First bloomin' story, so bear with me on any technicalities.

Anyways, Italics are thoughts. Have fun.

Search lights lit up the night as police helicopters flew around the tower. The tower itself was a glowing beacon in the moonlight night as all the lights from the top floors were on, with the addition of battery powered lights the squad brought in.

Reporters pushed through the cheering crowds to get an interview with the officers and detectives inside the building while they prepared for the heist.

For Inspector Nakamori, this was just like any other large scale KID heist, except that obnoxious Mouri Kogoro and the brat had decided to tag along and "help." The two had already gone somewhere else leaving him in the main hall on the top floor with the gem.

"Hmmph, as if I need those two to catch KID. I can that %#% thief by myself dammit." "Inspector the troops are all ready with the device" One of the taskforce members had run up while he was grumbling. Nakamori looked up and grinned. "Perfect, tonight we'll catch that bastard KID for sure. Tell all the troops to turn off their radios and ready the lights. Make sure to aim them at the gem.""YES SIR" The officer saluted and ran off to tell the others while the Inspector looked at the gem.

KID had sent a notice that he would steal the heart of Mar from a top the stage at the top floor of a new tower that opened up recently. The gem in question was shining red from its mount 500 feet above the stage, cleverly installed with a shutter that would close over it so it wouldn't be a distraction during performances.

Nakamori looked at his watch as the time neared and moved to a spot out of sight. So long as the Kid and that annoying detective didn't interfere, they would catch
KID no problem this time. Even KID can't prepare for this, Nakamori thought gleefully as he thought about his new plan to catch the thief.

Conan sighed inwardly with frustration as he followed "uncle" Kogoro through the building. Inspector Nakamori had blocked off every entrance to the room the gem was in, insisting that it was part of another "fool proof" plan to catch KID.

"As if he hasn't had enough plans that had failed already". The shrunken detective thought bemusedly. "KID'll probably get away again if this keeps up."

His only options were to either, sneak into the room, find a way to the roof, or wait for the inspector to allow him access to the Theater. "Like that'll ever happen," he snorted, startling Mouri who was peaking around a corner, also trying to find a way in.

"OI, BRAT."Conan sighed, here it comes again. "Don't distract me from my work; bringing you was a bad enough idea already." Kogoro huffed and walked around the corner, leaving Conan to glare at him and run to keep up.

"Bad Idea huh, wasn't he the one who always came closest to catching KID? Or had they all forgotten already in their haste to prepare for the heist. Of course he was the one who deciphered the note, not all those irritating task force members who treated him like he was just a little kid who got in their way... Oh wait, he was a kid, physically at least, but definitely not mentally."Lost in his own thoughts and annoyance, the shrunken detective didn't notice that he had fallen behind, and had Kogoro disappeared.

"Wait a moment, where's Mouri?" Conan looked around the empty hallway, surprised that the detective had actually managed to slip his notice and disappear.

"AH!" The boy had only just walked to the end of the hallway when an officer had run around the corner only to trip over him and send them both sprawling. "Shoot, sorry are you okay?" The officer had gotten up remarkably fast and was now helping Conan up. "I would be better if adults would stop tripping over me," Conan irately thought, "I'm fine, just a little bruised." The officer looked a little concerned at this," Hey isn't there some adult you're here with kid?" "Here's my chance," thought the faux child, who promptly replied in what he called his "childish" voice: "There was…..but I lost him….(insert puppy dog eyes here) mister do you think you could help me find him?" Conan knew the guy was busy and hopefully would just take him along in order to "keep him safe from the scary thief" (he's heard that one way too many times, although not really for Kaitou KID.)

The officer thought for a moment before shrugging. "I'm too busy to help you find your guardian at the moment kid, but you can tag along with me for now. Who knows, maybe we'll run into him around here." Suddenly the officer's radio went off: "Only Five minutes until the heist, hurry to your posts." The inspector's voice still managed to sound loud and clear even with the added crackle of the radio, Conan marveled at this fact as he waited for the officer to lose the "deer in the headlights" look.

He quickly recovered, said something incomprehensible into the radio, and motioned for Conan to follow as he set off at a jog through the hallways. Conan cursed as he was forced to run fast to keep up. They finally reached the grand, carved, doors blocking off the theater, with four members of the taskforce standing in front of them.

"HALT WHO GOES THERE" One of the officers belted out as they approached the doors. The officer leading Conan slowed to a walk, "Rigamoto Hatsuri, the kid's with me, at least until we find his father, or someone he's with." "Fine,"the guard who challenged them replied, "make sure he stays out of trouble, the inspector doesn't want anyone messing with his plans tonight." "Will do." The response from the guard beside him was a little too cheerful, Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at the guard for anything unusual about the officer, but couldn't find anything and was forced to quickly follow the officer before the other guards shut the doors again.

Heh, first chapter and no appearance of the main characters, they'll apear soon, at least one of them will. It's pretty obvious, though i'm warning you now that the next chapter may take a while because of the mind numbing ways of school.
