Vampire Valentine
by YYY
J is in routine check up so Daisuke gets the afternoon off. "Call me if you need my assistance." The robot says to his partner.
Daisuke says goodbye to J and heads toward a noodle shop to get some lunch when a girl walks up to him.
"Hi." She smiles sweetly to Daisuke.
"HI. What's the matter, sweetheart? Where's your parent?" Daisuke asks kindly. The girl doesn't answer him. She stuffs a cell phone into Daisuke's hand and runs away.
"Hey, wait!" Daisuke shouts.
"What's the matter, Daisuke?" J asks as he feels Daisuke screaming. The phone in Daisuke's hand starts ringing.
"Some girl just stuff a phone in my hand and it's ringing now, hold on…" Daisuke says as he takes the call.
"Good afternoon, my dear Detective."
"I'm not your dear, Leonelli. What do you want?"
"Aww…not happy to hear my voice?"
"Just tell me what you want."
"You see that building in front of you? The one with the silver door? There is a bomb in there and it will activate in 5 minutes."
"5 minutes?"
"Yes, the bomb is at the basement's support pillar. If you don't deactivate it, the whole building will come down and the 50,000 people in there will all die." Claire says casually, as if all those people's lives are of no important.
"Daisuke! Stay right where you are. It's too dangerous for you to go in there. I'm coming over to disarm the bomb right now." J says.
"You're too far away, J. You can't get here on time and disarm the bomb." Daisuke says.
"Daisuke! Don't go in!I'm coming!" J says as he unplugs himself from the machines.
Daisuke runs into the building, gets down to the basement and runs to the center of the building. Soon, he finds a bomb underneath one of the pillars.
"You found the bomb! I know you will, good job!" Claire's voice comes out from the cell phone. The Vampire must be watching him through the security camera.
Daisuke glares at the camera and says, "have fun watching me now. After I disarm the bomb I will make you pay for your prank."
Claire chuckles, "You only have 2 minutes 45 seconds to disarm the bomb. Better start working."
Daisuke takes a deep breath and unscrews the screws on the bomb. Claire continues to talking on the phone, "Can you do it? I hope you can. I hate to see 10 millions tons of steel come crushing down on your pretty blonde head. I will have no one to play with if that happen…"
"I'm not your playmate." Daisuke answers annoyed. The detective lightly and carefully opens the cover of the bomb; making sure he doesn't activate any hidden triggers that can set of the bomb when the cover lifts. There are tons of wires intertwining inside.
"Come on, my dear Detective. You only have1 minutes 39 seconds left."
"Stop calling me your dear." Daisuke says as he studies all the wires, following each to find out the route of the circuitry.
"I can practically hear your heart beating, 27 seconds now."
"I think I got it." Daisuke takes out the purple wire and starts to cut it.
"Are you sure it's the right one? The whole place will fall down if you made a mistake." Claire chants happily.
'Just have to stay claim and ignore Leonelli. I can do this.' Daisuke starts cutting the purple wire. The detective wishes he can cut off the phone but he doesn't have the time.
"10 seconds, Dice, any last words?" Claire teases.
"You can't get rid of me that easily and don't call me Dice." Daisuke scoffs at Claire. Only 3 more wire to cut, there is plenty of time.
9…8…7…
The red wire is cut…
6…5…4…
The blue wire is cut…
3…2…
Daisuke cut the green wire. The bomb stops. Daisuke lets out a breath of relief.
"Oh, dear detective. I forgot to mention there is a hidden trigger at the bottom of the bomb that's remote controlled. I have the controller right here in my hand." Claire laughs.
"Daisuke!" J shouts as he runs inside the building, but it's too late, Claire has pressed the button of the remote. The timer on Daisuke's bomb goes 'beep…beep...beep…'
"NO!" J shouts as the sound of explosion shakes the air.
