Prologue: An Introduction to the Characters

Tokyo, Japan in a fine summer's day: car's rolling by, planes flying high and everything that proves Tokyo is a progressed city. Tokyo is far of this world. It is filled with thousands of new innovation and discoveries. Even a mere hotel hired a robotic receptionist! Yes, many cities wanted to be Tokyo. But behind this majestic deception lies a great number of lurking darkness. One of these and the toughest of all is the Black Organization.

The Black Organization is a mysterious but notorious crime group in Japan. It is blacklisted. It is presumed to be led by Gin. Gin is a tall lean guy with long yellow hair. He always wears a hat on his head and rides his Porsche 356a. Gin is the toughest member of the group too and is the most courageous of them. I even remember the time when he fought against Voldemort. Harry was in need of help and he came in. Using a secret drug (I presume), he killed Voldemort. In a quick snap of a finger, Voldemort lay down dead on the hallway of Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. Harry was so amazed with Gin and hugged him. Gin was surprised. He forcedly put to the mysterious drug into Harry's mouth and shortly afterwards, he died (this is a secret hidden chronicle of the Harry Potter Series). See that? A mortal man defeated a Dark Lord? He's so brave.

Let's talk about another member, Vodka. Vodka is the sidekick of Gin. He is a chubby person who always wears his Gucci shades. Although Gin is really bold, Gin is coward. During fighting scenes, he would hide behind Gin's coat like a baby boy. If Gin is not around, he would scamper away or hide quickly. In short, Gin was his knight in shining armor.

The prettiest member of the Black Organization is Vermouth. Gin likes her too much and hides hidden affections to her. Vermouth's loyalty was always being fought about by the other members because Vermouth is friend with Yukiko, Shinichi's mother. They would stroll in the park on the weekends and dance in the club at night. I don't really know why she always goes out with Yukiko instead of Gin. Maybe just another love story?

Now, I've introduced to you the top members of the Black Organization. Now, let's talk about the protagonist. On the blue corner, I mean the good side, lies the Project Neptune. Project Neptune is led by the Japan renowned high-school detective, Shinichi Kudo. He is a handsome and tough guy. He also has a clever mind. He solves mysteries in about an hour. But the toughest case to him is the case of the Black Organization. At free time, Shinichi would either play soccer or watch Ran's karate sessions. Sometimes, Ran and Shinichi go for a date to relieve the pressure in his mind.

The second member of the team is Inspector Megure. He is a fat police officer who is a good friend of Ran's father, Korgoro Mouri. Megure also admires Shinichi for his cleverness and intelligence. Megure together with his police officers are the first one to respond to a crime scene to investigate but Shinichi always gets it right. Thus, Inspector Megure is a dumb piggy.

The third member is of course, the father of Ran, Detective Kogoro Mouri. He is a tall but dumb detective. His deductions were always wrong. That's why he is angry with Shinichi. He envies him for his intelligence. Ran meanwhile is not proud of his daddy. Ran hates him for being dumb. In his office, he would sit all day on the couch watching Utada Hikaru's concerts and eating stacks of junk foods and smoking piles of cigarette.

The fourth member, and the loveliest of all, is the sweet heart of Shinichi, Ran Mouri. Although Ran looks like an innocent lady, she is too brave and can scare Shinichi away. Using karate techniques she learned from her sessions, she would frighten Shinichi so that he would remember his promises. I remember again a time, and they were about to be late and Shinichi and Ran are walking to school. Here's what happened:

"Shinichi, do you remember your promise to me?" Ran asked.

"Promise? What promise?" Shinichi queried.

"About the Tropical Island? You said to me that we will go there this weekend", Ran replied.

"Huh? Did I say that?"

"Shinichi..." Ran mentions his name in anger.

And in a split of a second, Shinichi fell to the groud flabbergasted. "Next time you promise to me, don't forget it or this will happen again" Ran warned Shinichi.

Awe.. Love quarrels, perhaps?

Now you meet the good side. Project Neptune and the Black Organizations are mortal enemies. Each wants to find a hole in one. And finally, as I thought, the Black Organization had found the key for Project Neptune's undoing.
