A/N: Well, I was just pondering about what would happen when the Organisation´s finally taken down, hoe it ´d be done, and what would happen afterwards.
Basically, I was just reading too much. Anyways, enjoy! And leave reviews, cuz they´re luv. :3


It was dark and cold. A fitting weather for this day anyways, thought Kudou Shin´ichi, shivering as he opened his house´s door.
Today everything had come to an end, he wouldn´t have to constantly look over his shoulder anymore. He could write his parents, tell them that he was, in fact, alive, and hadn´t been killed during "Operation GATE" as they had believed fot the past… what was it? Ten years, fifteen?

He could help Haibara Ai out of the depression she´d been in since "Operation GATE". And he could even go to Ran, tell her why he´d been gone since that day in Tropical Land.

But he´d changed, in those years chasing the Black Organisation, slowly destroying every single branch of it, one after another.
Shin´ichi lit himself a cigarette as he pulled on his slippers. When had he started smoking again? Oh, yeah, after Akai Shuuichis real death, five years ago. He remembered that because "Operation Crystal" had left even more scars on his mind than "GATE" had…
He was thirty-eight now, and had seen more dead bodies than some policemen see in their whole life. And he´d gunned down quite a big part of those now-dead people himself, too.

And Ran had built up her life quite well. Last time he´d been to Japan she´d been doing very well. She´d just given birth to her second child, a little girl with her eyes exactly. She had a job, too. She´d become elemantary teacher, and liked her job a lot. She´d always loved children after all. But she hadn´t quite managed to get someone normal as a life partner, her husband was pretty high up in the Japanese Intelligence Service. He hadn´t told her yet, although Ran had recently started to suspect him- she´d gone to the bank where he supposedly worked, and when he hadn´t been there and none of the clerks seemed to know him… well, Shin´ichi would probably pay him a visit to tell him to not ever hurt her if he wanted to live, and get the fuck on and tell her what his real job was. Because Ran had definitely had enough things kept from her, enough for a lifetime, and more.
Yes, he knew what he´d do next. He´d call some people and then he´d have a nice talk with Ran´s husband.
Maybe the guy´d be shocked out of his mind to suddenly be approached about his job by someone he only knew from some old high school photographs of his wife´s and who´d supposedly been dead for the past twenty years, but then, that guy deserved it anyways.


A/N...I´m not all that happy with this chapter :/ ... well, the next one will be better, hopefully ^^
