Author's Notes: I keep on getting inspiration on things and then I abandon the others. I will update my other stories, but I'll have new stories too, so bear with me (my teacher's words).
Also, I'm always kinda busy, but you can't expect me to be on all the time can you. :( Wahhh....

Tears
Prologue
Ai sat back in her chair, facing the telephone. She sighed. She knew that usually, she would say no to their offer. It wasn't like she trusted them. After all, she had rejected their ofer last time. But this was different.
Maybe this time, it would be equal. Something that'll equal the atrocity she had created, the atrocity that came by the name of APTX 4869.
No, one side of her brain chided. It's not as if you intended to create something that has killed lots of people.
But yes, the other part of her brain argued. Why not? As Kudo-kun said to Vermouth, there are many reasons for someone to kill another. But you don't need a reason to save another. [A/N: Sorry if my translation isn't exact, I'm talking about that time when Shinichi and Ran save the serial killer (Vermouth) in New York.]
But as you say, it isn't necessary to get yourself into danger. As you're always saying.
So maybe it's time for a change.
Time for a change...
She shakily reached to the telephone, and, knowing this decision might change her life forever, dialled the number slowly.
Brrrinnnggg....
The phone on the other end was picked up right after the first ring.
"Sensei?"
"Ah, Ai, it's you isn't it?"
"Yes."
"So, why did you ring?"
"You've been waiting for this call, so why do you ask? You should know."
"Ah, yes. That. So. What's your answer?"
"I... I... um...
I accept."
Ai felt tears brimming her eyes. Tears threatening to fall... wondering whether she had made the right choice...
Tears of unsurety.
