Sorry for the short chapter, but I'll try make the next one longer. I hope you enjoy!

Thoughts: Italicized

It's been almost a year since I got my body back, and it's finally going back to normal with most of the Black Organization arrested. It's more convenient to chase after Kid than Conan. Shinichi was running upstairs to the rooftop where Kid would always fly away. He pushed open the door with full force, and quickly shutting it behind him.

"Kid!" shouted Shinichi, walking to where the thief clad in white stood.

"Shinichi! I'm glad you're here, I wanted to show you something! I finally found it, Pandora!" exclaimed a over joyful thief.

"Really!? That's good, it's been a year after most of the Black Organization was took down anyway. So what are you going to do now? I'm pretty sure you can't just break it like any other gem, since it is supposed to grant immortality. Have you thought of a way?" asked Shinichi.

"No, I've tried breaking it a couple times but not a single thing works. And so, I've thought of a new plan. But..." replied Kid with a thoughtful face.

"A new plan?"

"Yeah... But I don't really like it, since it could put you in danger."

"Danger? Me? As if. I've escaped and took down the BO, haven't I? So just tell me the plan, and we'll think about it from there." suggested Shinichi with a confident tone.

"O-okay. I've thought maybe we could hide Pandora until we find a way to destroy it. But I realized I couldn't hide the gem since I still have Snake on my tail. So, I thought to ask you. But it would put you in so much danger." explained Kid reluctantly.

"Oh so that's what you were worrying about. It's no problem, leave it to me. You've helped me when I took down the BO, remember? It's the least I can do for you. So, don't worry too much, okay?" assures Shinichi as he slowly took the gem from Kid.

"Are you sure? You could decline, you know? It's too much of a favor, considering the small amount I've had in helping you."

"It's fine, just leave it to me. I have a hideout in mind."

"Okay... Thanks, it would help me a ton!" said Kid as he turned around to open his hang glider. "See you next heist, Shinichi!"

"Yeah, next time, Kaito." Shinichi replied, whispering his name silently.

A few minutes after, Nakamori-keibu came running to the rooftop completely out of breath.

"Kid! Where did you go!" shouted Nakamori-keibu as he realized Shinichi was still there. "Did he escape?"

"Unfortunately, yes. I'm sorry I couldn't catch him."

"It's okay, I'll catch him next time!" huffed Keibu as be stomped down the stairs.

I wonder if Kaito will continue his heists after Pandora is destroyed. Thought Shinichi as he made his way downstairs.

In a nearby building Snake was watching them carefully, already planning to take Pandora and finally kill Kid.

"You better enjoy the short time you have left, Kaito Kid. Because when I complete my mission, you will be nothing more than history."
