Prologue
It's currently nine o'clock at night on a Friday night and Shinichi was working on some homework in his room, when his phone rang. "Hello?"
"Shinichi, can you do a favor for me?" It was Ran.
"Sure, what is it?" This was the first time Ran had called him since the organization got taken down. She was pretty angry when he had finally told her about what happened and the two of them just recently started talking to each other without it being awkward.
"Dad just got a new client and the client wants him to go undercover as a single father with two kids about our age. So, I was wondering if you could help him out." Shinichi frowned.
"Does he even want me to be there?" The last time he spoke with the older detective, he nearly escaped with his life. Mouri Kogorou was the angriest one out of him and Ran. The older detective thought Shinichi saw everything that happened as a game and disregarded Ran's feelings and such. Shinichi knew when he wasn't wanted, especially when the older detective was involved.
"He's calmed down since the last time you saw him and thought about the whole situation. He told me so yesterday. He said that now he thought about it, the decisions you made were decisions he would've made if he were put in your shoes." Shinichi was relieved to hear that, but he was still going to be wary of the older detective. Kogorou did man handle him at that time. "So will you please help him out?" Shinichi sighed.
"Yeah, sure." Ran sighed in relief.
"I'm glad. I'll tell him right away!"
"When do you want me to come over?"
"Dad said the client was going to come by again tomorrow around 9:30." Why so early? Shinichi thought dreadfully.
"Alright, I'll be there."
"Thank you so much, Shinichi!"
"Oh, it's no problem." Then Ran hung up. Shinichi sighed again. Tomorrow was going to be eventful that's for sure.
