Jodie Starling led them to sit down. "I'm the agent from the FBI, and Lang-Zi recommended me to call you. He says you and Miles Edgeworth makes a great team," she said to Franziska.

"Yes, we do work well and effectively when Miles is a subordinate," she replied and Edgeworth resisted to roll his eyes.

"But you two were defeated in court by Mr. Wright, right?"

The three adults turned to Conan who seemed to have been there the whole time.

"What is a little child doing in here?" Franziska prepared to whip him, but Miles took it away. Jodie bent to Conan's level.

"Don't worry, this kid is the shrunken detective we've talked about, Ms. Von Karma."

"We would like to be enlightened of this information, too, Ms. Starling," said Miles Edgeworth.

Jodie and Satou giggled, "Wow, you're really charming!" Jodie exclaimed.

"Ahem," Franziska rolled her eyes, "What were we talking about?"

"Ah, right."

And so, Jodie relayed the necessary information, like the drug, the syndicate, and the 3 endangered people.

"So, this chemist is the one who is in the Witness Protection program, and I'm guessing she's the main priority of the syndicate…" Edgeworth trailed off.

"Yeah," Conan replied, "Mostly because she holds much of the vital information. Not enough to take them down, but enough to attack."

"And your age…?" asked Franziska.

"Oh, I'm also 20… supposedly. The drug takes down 10 years."

"And when will you change back?" Phoenix asked.

"Haibara's still not done yet. But we were to change as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way," Edgeworth started, "Are we supposed to call the both of you by your alias names or your real ones?"

"I think it will be safer to call them by their alias names," Satou spoke up.

Just then, the doors of the conference room opened, and Ran walked in with Haibara. Ran was smiling apologetically and motioned to sit beside Dr. Araide, but Conan ran quickly and occupied the seat Ran was about to sit on.

"Shinichi, what are you doing?" Ran's eyes were narrowed at him.

Conan smiled nervously, and Haibara seemed to understand what was going on. "Be a gentleman, Kudo-kun…" Haibara smirked at him.

"Ehehe, right," he said as he got off the seat and pushed Haibara on it. Conan sat on Haibara's other side and smirked at her. Ran felt a tinged of jealousy but smiled anyway, and sat beside Conan.

"Oi, Kudo-kun, shouldn't you be in your normal forms now?" Satou whispered in the middle of the two.

"Though I don't think it's necessary but…" Haibara took out two pills from her pocket.

"YES!" he cheered and all eyes turned to him.

"You know, Kudo-kun, maybe you should just stay as Conan and continue living with Ran-san. I'm sure you both enjoyed each other's company under one roof… or room. Who knows?" Haibara smirked again as she saw Ran's blush and Conan's reaction.

Ran tried to cover up her blush by changing her expression, "Nah, even Conan is as show-offy as Shinichi."

"Superintendent, maybe we should start this little meeting," suggested Shiratori.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stood up in search of Conan. "Kudo-kun, aren't you supposed to be in your normal forms?"

"Go on, Kudo-kun, I'll stay me for now," Haibara whispered.

"Eh? But I brought clothes, Haibara-san…" Ran whined.

"It will be for the best, Ms. Miyano," Franziska suggested.

After convincing Haibara, Ran accompanied her to the restrooms, as Conan also went to the men's room. A few moments later, Conan-no, Shinichi Kudo- arrived back, wearing his usual white and green jacket, black shirt and jeans. Franziska suddenly stopped talking to the police officers and Edgeworth looked at her, concerned.

"Franziska? Are you okay? You look… pinker…"

Phoenix looked at their direction and smiled so suddenly as if he had a revelation, "Oh, man. You're blushing, Franziska!"

"No! I'm not…"

"Is it the guy over there?" Phoenix obnoxiously pointed his finger to Shinichi, trying to make it obvious to everyone that they were talking about him.

"Wha-NOO!" Franziska started whipping Phoenix who laughed hysterically.

"Ah, young violent love…" Edgeworth teased.

"Nice to see you again, Kudo-kun!" Officer Megure patted Shinichi violently on the back.

Seconds later, Shiho Miyano arrived being pushed into the room by Ran.

"Ran-san, I feel so-"

"You look fine, Shiho-chan," Ran feigned annoyance.

All eyes turned to Shiho. Both girls were wide-eyed, and Jodie and Satou came up to them. Shinichi came walking soon after.

"Wow. I never knew you looked so… cute!" Jodie exclaimed.

"You look so sexy in that outfit…" Satou nudged her elbow.

"Hm, I never really saw you at Haido City Hotel, but now, I can honestly say that you look ten times scarier than usual.

"Don't worry, Shiho-chan. That's just how Shinichi says 'your pretty'."

"Ahem," the superintendent got their attention, "May we start this little meeting?"

"Yes sir," they chorused.

"As we have been informed by the FBIs, there is a powerful syndicate that has existed and infiltrated much of Japan and our departments. And, this has affected the FBIs and their investigations. They have been involved in dangerous and illegal business that might be the cause of the unknown deaths. We will still investigate these murders if they match, of course.

"We have tried our hardest to have the least number of police in this operation so we won't attract much attention from this syndicate. You are all considered the most elite officers, and therefore have been chosen.

"Up until now, we cannot disclose any information to the public. The least we could do is to not overlook any suspicious nook and cranny. The slightest forgeries, missing files, people, things. I repeat, no one is allowed to disclose any information to the public." Shiratori spoke as he stood in front.

"For now, you are to do what I have assigned you. And, Ms. Von Karma, Mr. Edgeworth and Mr. Wright, I would like to ask you a favor," the superintendent motioned for them to come to him.

After a few whispers, the three stood straight, "Understood."
