Mission 1: It's Curry Time!
"Alright, he's getting into his car. You remember the plan, right?" Someone said in a hush tone.
"You follow him while I search the house, got it." Another replied.
"Good. We'll finally get this guy once and for all!" He said excitedly.
"Shh! Baka, do want to get us caught, Amuro-kun?" The girl said, glaring at him.
"Ah. Sorry, Haibara-chan." Amuro whispered while covering his mouth.
They both peered over to see if the man noticed them. 'Phew...'
The man in question being Okiya Subaru. Not quite convinced of his innocence, Haibara and Amuro have teamed up to uncover his real identity. Will they succeed?
As Subaru pulled out of the driveway, Haibara managed to sneak into the Kudo residence while Amuro quietly started following behind him in his car.
"The grocery store?" Amuro said to himself as Subaru went inside 'Humph. I won't fall for your little act.' He thought as he followed suit.
He just purchased a few spices. Leaving the store, Amuro carefully stayed behind.
'Ugh, what a waste of time. I wonder if Haibara-chan found anything.'
As Haibara entered the house, she could hear voices. Surprised by this, she carefully learned against the wall to listen in. It sounds like… 'He left the TV on?' Haibara thought suspiciously.
She began to move forward but suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.
"Our special guest today is one of Big Osaka's soccer players, Ryusuke Higo." The host said.
'What!' Haibara thought furiously. How could she forget, Higo-kun's interview was airing today! 'Err; I have to search the house now. I can watch the interview online later, later...'
"I heard you recently took in a stray puppy, is that right Higo-san?" The host asked.
"Yes, would you like to meet him? His name is Ton-chan; isn't he cute?" Higo happily said while holding up the small animal.

Screw the search.
'Looks like he's heading home. I better tell Haibara he's on his way back.' Amuro thought as he sent the text. He looked up. 'Damn, where did he go?!'
"Oh, my. Quite a coincidence meeting you here." Amuro slowly turned to the familiar voice.
"Subaru-san! Yes it's quite the coincidence, isn't it?" Amuro said, emphasizing 'coincidence'.
"I was just about to head home and make some curry, would you like to join me for dinner?" Subaru offered, holding up his grocery bag.
"Ah, I'll have to decline today…" Amuro said nervously.
"Are you sure? I don't think my guest would mind some company." He insisted.
"Your… guest?" Amuro asked, cocking his head to the side. 'Crap. Does he know Haibara-chan is in his house? Then he knew I was following him as well, sneaky bastard.'
"On second thought, I will join you!" Amuro accepted with a fake smile. 'I better make sure Haibara-chan isn't still there' He thought.
'What was I doing here again? Oh, who cares!' Haibara thought while happily watching the interview.
"Make yourself at home. The food will be done soon; I was just missing an ingredient. Why don't you join Haibara-san on the couch?" Okiya said as he invited him in.
"Thank you. Sorry for intruding…" He said as he entered the house. 'Wait, how did he know she was on the couch? He just got here!' Amuro suspiciously thought, but stopped, looking at Haibara in disbelief.
"Seriously?" He asked in an annoyed tone as they ate together in front of the TV.
"Quiet!" She spat out. Her face practically glued to the television.
'Sigh… Oh, well. At least the curry's good. I wonder if he'll give me the recipe...' Amuro thought, happily eating the food.
And thus, Akai's secret was kept for one more day.
Thanks for reading! Good? Bad? Reviews are very much appreciated ;)
I named Ton-chan after Ton-chan K-on and now I'm hearing *Spoiler alert* The next case is "K-ON"! Coincidence?! Yes, yes it is...
