It was mid-night when Mouri Ran's eyes opened suddenly. Feeling thirsty, she sat up in her bed and threw the sheets covering her. Unwillingly, she step out of the room and walked to the kitchen. She found the lights of her dad's office on. Confused about who must be at the office at this hour she opened the door of the office and found Conan-kun sleeping on the sofa, with his favorite Sherlock Holmes book half opened on his chest and his one hand resting on the book. Ran smiled looking at the Holmes Freak and walked near him. She took the book from his hand carefully not to wake him up. Putting a bookmark on the page which he was reading she kept the book on the table near the sofa. She brought out a blanket to cover him. She went near him and covered him with the blanket. She looked at his cute and innocent sleeping face and found that he was still wearing his glasses.
'Geez, Conan-kun. How many times I have told him to take out glasses while sleeping.'
She took out his glasses and put it on the table. She turned to him and kept looking at his face. She thought that he resembles someone. Then it clicked in her mind, the one with whom Conan-kun resembles is none other than Kudo Shinichi. Conan had become now a middle-schooler, age 14. He has been Edogawa Conan since 7 years and yet never found out about the crime syndicate Black Organization which made him shrunk using a drug. He had started looking like Shinichi as he grew up. His specs did a great job in hiding his secret identity. But Ran was shocked, hell shocked to see a Shinichi-look-alike. She never thought that Conan-kun resembles him so much. She was told that Conan-kun was Agasa Hakase's distant relative's son. Then why he resembles Shinichi? Is he really Shinichi? If he is then why he is in such shrunken state? She was not getting anything. She went to her room quietly and sat on the chair near her study table on which there was a framed photograph of her and Shinichi. She held the frame in her hands and kept looking at it. She started to remember things from the very start when they both went to Tropical Land and after that Shinichi suddenly disappeared.
It was not a coincidence that she met Conan-kun shortly after Shinichi went missing. Whenever Shinichi appeared suddenly, Conan-kun was not around and same when Conan-kun was there Shinichi was not. It was sure not a coincidence. But in some cases, which involved Kaito KID, both were there. Maybe, Shinichi asked KID to disguise as him. But for what reason he asked KID to do so? Maybe, he tricked her every time she suspected him. She thought again and again but lastly came to the question again, how he shrank. There were many things that both Shinichi and Conan-kun have in common. Their soccer skills, their deduction skills, his resemblances and not to forget that both are Holmes Freak, these all things were in common.
She remembered the case from the East Okuho Village, where a boy named Okuda Makoto-kun had a plastic surgery and became fake Shinichi. Conan-kun had worse cold and suddenly Hattori-kun told that he left the village and went to Hakase, it was then when Shinichi appeared suddenly. When Hattori-kun solved the case, he used fingerprints from his charm's handcuff piece, claiming that there were Shinichi's fingerprints on that piece but she knew that except her and Conan-kun Shinichi never touched them. And Hattori-kun used it to prove that Makoto-kun was fake Shinichi. That means, Hattori-kun knew Shinichi's secret, then why didn't he tell her?
She thought hardly and finally accepted the truth that Shinichi is Conan-kun now. How, she didn't know but she accepted the fact that Kudo Shinichi is no longer remained as Kudo Shinichi and had become Edogawa Conan. She knew there must be some reason that Shinichi is hiding all these things from her. She believed him and kept faith in him that one day he will tell her everything but still who did all this to Shinichi made her curious and she wanted to know everything about it. Thinking about all the possibilities about what had happened with Shinichi she felt asleep resting her head on her hand on the table, their photo frame still in her hand.
Next day early in the morning, Conan opened his eyes. Yawning and rubbing his eyes he sat up on the sofa. He saw the blanket covering him. He wondered who put it on him. He stood up and stretched his arms and saw his glasses and book kept on the table, folded neatly.
'It must be Ran.'
He smiled and went to get fresh. When he returned, he went in the kitchen hoping to find Ran ready with breakfast for him. But there was no one.
'Ran is still asleep? She never sleeps till late in the morning.'
He went in Ran's bedroom and saw her sleeping in such a state.
'Huh? Why is Ran sleeping like this? What's wrong with her?'
He went near her and tried to wake her up.
"Ran-neechan, Ran-neechan" he gave her a slight jerk, "Wake up, Ran-neechan!"
Ran opened her eyes as she heard Conan-kun's voice. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Conan. She remembered that she slept on the chair.
"Ohayo, Ran-neechan!" Conan wished her. His voice was no longer childish but it was cute.
"Ohayo, Conan-kun!" she wished him back getting up from the chair to get fresh and to make breakfast for them.
"Ran-neechan, you never wake up late. It's already 30 past 8." Conan asked her curiously wanting to know what was wrong with her. "Why you slept like that Ran-neechan?"
"Gomen Conan-kun, you must be hungry, right?" she asked him trying to ignore his question.
"It's okay Ran-neechan. Today is Sunday and I don't have school, you can take your time." Conan informed her.
"Oh yes. I almost forgot. But Conan-kun I have Karate practice in the afternoon at club and also Kyogoku-san is coming." Ran smiled at him and went to get fresh.
He felt there is something wrong with Ran. He was thinking about it when his cell rang. He picked his cell.
"What is it Hakase?" he aksed, "Why you called me early morning?"
"There is something for you Shinichi." The voice came from other side.
"What?" Conan asked him curiously thinking that another case might have come for Kudo Shinichi.
"It is a letter." The old man told him.
"It's a letter? What is in it?" he asked confused.
"I don't know. It says Confidential!" the old professor informed him.
"I will come after breakfast and then I will read it. Jaa na!" he hung the call.
After some time Kogoro woke up and they all had breakfast together. Conan got dressed to go to Hakase's house.
"Ran-neechan, I am going to Hakase's House. Jaa!" Conan shouted while wearing his shoes.
"Okay Conan-kun, take care." Ran replied him.
"Haai!" came his reply.
He ran towards the Beika Block, House no. 22. Haibara opened the door as he reached the house.
"Ah, Shinichi you came?"
"Hakase the letter?" Shinichi asked panting.
"Here." Haibara handed him the letter and went straight to her lab to work on the antidote of Apotoxin 4869.
He took a look at the letter. There was no address on the letter.
Only 'To Kudo Shinichi' was written on the envelope.
He opened the letter and carefully read it. He was taken aback.
The letter said-:
Dear Silver Bullet,
The organization is having a recheck of the people who were given the drug, Apotoxin 4869. Gin now knows about the side-effects of that drug and he suspects that Sherry has taken the same drug and ran in shrunken state. He is trying to find her as soon as possible. So you better take care of Sherry and yourself, and don't forget about Angel. If your parents are not here then Gin will obviously hunt Angel because you two are very close.
Vermouth
The organization is hunting them and they can reach to Sherry at any time. She needs to be careful, not only Haibara but aslo Ran. If they will know that Kudo Shinichi isn't dead they will definitely go behind Ran. Shinichi was shocked. He is more worried about Haibara and Ran more than himself.
"What's written in it, Shinichi?" Hakase broke his train of thoughts as he approached Shinichi seeing his shocked face.
Shinichi told Hakase everything that Vermouth wrote.
"Aren't you telling this to Ai-kun?" Hakase asked worried about the strawberry blond girl.
"Not now Hakase. First I will talk about it with Hattori, Akai-san and Furuya-san." He stated, "I am worried that she'll take some wrong decision if she knows about it."
"Now what should we do?" Hakase asked him confused about what can be done to save the two shrunken children.
"I'm going to meet Akai-san." Saying this he ran to the house next door.
But the whole thing was heard by Haibara who gasped in horror that everyone around her including herself was in danger.
