The Assassin
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
Prologue
Shinichi's POV
Finally, the permanent antidote is now lying innocently in my hand and my years of waiting did not come in vain. All of this thanks to some anonymous help. He/she just drop the files of the Apotoxin without any note to where it came from or anything. At first, we didn't trust the information but after close inspection, we found out that nothing is wrong; the files were indeed trustworthy. But still, I can't shake off the feeling that in return of this help; something disastrous would happen, something very bad. And that something important to me would be taken as payback.
'Ring…ring' the sound of my 'Conan' cell phone brought me back to reality, snapping me in my train of thoughts. I look in the caller id and knew that it was Jodie-sensei who is calling. So to avoid confusion, I decided to use Conan's voice via bowtie voice changer.
"Hello sensei. What's with the call?" I asked quite curious with this sudden call.
"Cool kid, you've got to be careful" she warns me with a very serious voice.
"Why? Be careful of what? Of who?"
"Of this new member code name Asti" 'Asti', I wonder who is this new member and what is his /her plan.
"Asti. What about with this new member"
"Well Kir said that this person has important information about certain someone." Information? Of who?
"Certain someone?"
"It was not revealed who but it was said that this someone is a big threat to the organization. Someone who they failed to kill"
"Failed to kill?" So this person escaped the clutches of the organization. A person they failed to kill.
"Yes. They thought that this person is dead but unbeknownst to them, this person survived" Oh looks like someone is the same boat with me.
"And not only that. The person who failed to kill this person is, no other than, Gin himself" Okay that was quite scary. It's like they are talking about me, Kudo Shinichi. And I won't be shock if the next thing they would tell me is that this person teamed-up with the traitor, Sherry.
"And Cool Kid, Kir also said that this person teamed-up with the traitor, Sherry"
"What?!" Oh crap, they are talking about me. There is no doubt about that.
"So do you have any idea who?"
"Sensei, the target that they are talking about. It looks like…me" I said with nervousness clear in my voice.
"So our suspicion is really right." Jodie-sensei said with a sigh.
"Sensei, does this Asti know about the Apotoxin, about its side effect?"
"Apparently, no. They said they just saw this person, or should I say you, walking with the living." Oh, thanks God. They still don't know anything about it.
"So Cool Kid I recommend you to prevent using Kudo Shinichi's identity for a while."
"But sensei, I just took the permanent antidote" I slowly said, trying to let the information sink.
"Huh... But how?" she asked with fear and confusion.
"Someone sent the files needed..." Oh crap! Now I realize why that information was given to us. No, sensei is wrong. He/She knows about the effects of the Apotoxin; about the shrinking. And that is the reason they send the files to us. To lure me out. To lure Kudo Shinichi out. That is his/her plan. And his/her plan succeeded.
Somewhere in Beika
"Looks like the CIA birdie already told them the information. I did not expect it to be that fast. But, oh well, the sooner the better." the person said to himself/herself while putting a glass of wine. In his/her table, a radio with different kind and a bottle of Asti could be seen.
"Now let the game begins!"
