Shiho Miyano hid behind a wall as vehicles drove by in every direction. She had to move forward, little by little, hiding from the surrounding darkness.
The "crows" would soon know she was gone, and she had to get to beika without running into anybody.
Beika - her only chance of a future lay in the small hands of a person she had wronged and one of the people who had last seen her sister. That person lived in Beika.
'I only hope he doesn't turn me away...' she thought as she scurried down another block before hiding in the shadows once again.
She was scared of everyone, paranoid that she would be recognized and killed but she still pressed onwards. It must have been a bizarre sight, an auburn haired 6 year old running down the road in the rain, wearing an oversized labcoat and oversized clothing..
Her teeth chattered as she fought to get to his place. Just a few more kilometers and she would rejoin someone who would be just like her.
She ran around another corner,pausing to get her bearings and catch her breath.
She had been running and hiding for hours, an unusual feat for a scientist, but her history with the black organization meant she had been taught toughness and endurance - both very important skills to have.
She finally realised where she was - only a couple blocks further and she would be there. She coughed, but went off once again,as fast as possible.
She would not - could not afford to be seen until she had reached her destination.
Finally the iron gates of the Kudo mansion appeared before her. She knew as soon as she saw them that she would be safe.
The relief flooded over her, and after the efforts she had exerted, the blackness of a dead faint was quick to claim her.
The professor was on his way home after yet another failed experiment when he came across a red and white mass of clothing - just outside Shinichi's house. When he bent down to look closer he saw it was an auburn haired girl in oversized clothing. She seemed to have fainted so he picked her up and bought her into his house, before busying himself making coffee and waiting for her to wake.
