Okay I officially am a horrible procrastinater, feel free to shoot me with a card gun or set up a turret by my desk to make me finish the next chapter. Oh yeah I have no beta, so please excuse any mistakes.
The room was empty, apart from one or two officers running around doing last minute checks, no one else was there except for Conan and the officer Rigamoto. The officer looked at Conan cheekily, grinning a very familiar grin, and, before he could react, the lights went out.
Immediately police spotlights were on KID as he floated in the air beside the gem. KID grinned and reached towards the jewel- "NOW" Immediately after Nakamori's signal, sprays of an orange foam-like substance hit KID, growing and covering the thief as more and more of it hit him.
KID stared as the foam covered his lower body, and struggled to move while a whirring sound was heard from somewhere near him until the machine holding him up couldn't take any more of the foam's added weight. The wires broke with a snap and the thief hit the floor with a faint thud, the foam covering him breaking his fall.
Conan and the officers all stared in disbelief, had the thief finally been caught? Nakamori cautiously approached KID, now covered up to his chest in the foam, and reached for the top hat. Pausing for moment before he yanked it off to see-
A dummy.
"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIID" Conan winced as Nakamori spouted several creative curses as he ranted, and looked to where the jewel was. Sure enough, the real thief appeared out of a ceiling tile and took the jewel while everyone was staring at Nakamori and the dummy. The boy took aim with is watch, but all trace of white had disappeared before he could shoot the thief with a tranquilizer dart. The only other option was to race to the roof and hope the thief was still there.
The inspector apparently had the same idea, after finishing his rant and seeing that the jewel was gone, he ordered all the officers to the roof and the helicopters to spotlight it. Conan had to run to keep up, and even then, the officers were still faster than him. Cursing his size for the umpteenth time, the false boy finally made it to the roof in time to see KID jump off the building and fly away followed by helicopters, and nearly get trampled by the hoard of officers, lead by Nakamori, running for the stairs as they went to continue the pursuit.
What he wasn't prepared for was the hand that yanked him into the air "AH" "There you are, where did you run off to brat?" Kogoro asked as he ran down the stairs carrying the now irate boy by the collar of his shirt. "You were supposed to be helping me catch KID" Conan huffed and crossed his arms, regretting the choice as Mouri threw him into the passenger seat of his rented car and quickly buckled himself in. the boy only just got the seat belt on when Kogoro hit the gas and drove after the cars following KID's hanglider.
The ensuing chases led them across the city until KID was finally forced to land in the middle of a group of warehouses. Police cars immediately surrounded the area and officers jumped out of them to search the ground while helicopters flew overhead.
Conan ran to look for the thief, only to curse as Mouri suddenly grabbed him and held him back. "Hey brat where do you think you're-""HE'S OVER HERE, I FOUND HIM!" Kogoro dropped the boy and ran towards the officer who called out. Conan followed as fast as he could to the area where increasing amounts of the task force were gathering in a circle around the thief.
It looked like KID truly had nowhere to run this time; the officers were far enough away that a smoke bomb wouldn't work; he couldn't use his hang glider, and some of Nakamori's men had what Conan thought looked like tranquilizer guns.
"GIVE IT UP KID, THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN NOW" Nakamori grinned at the thought of finally catching KID, the officers all waited for the final order as KID stood waiting…..waiting for what? The taskforce started to get nervous and the few with tranquilizers took aim.
Conan looked around-THERE! There were smoke bombs set up on the sides of the buildings that the taskforce had their backs to. Conan looked back at KID just in time to see him detonate them with the switch in his hand. "DAMMIT" The false boy ran after the thief followed by Kogoro and Nakamori who was coughing and swearing as he ran.
The thief led them around the warehouses; Nakamori was screaming orders into his radio, trying to get the recovered officers to cut KID off unsuccessfully. Conan was starting to get tired along with Kogoro who was now panting every step of the way. It didn't help that it was now early morning and the sun was starting to rise.
Finally, they managed to chase the thief into another open area, suddenly, KID jumped to the side, and they had to jump back to avoid the bullet that embedded itself into the pavement in front of their feet. "NOBODY MOVE" Conan and KID both swore as they saw the sniper wearing a black fedora on the roof. "TODAY'S THE DAY YOU DIE KAITOU KID" The sniper shot several rounds at KID who deftly avoided them. Namakori was shouting orders into his radio and running towards the building the sniper was on when the radio was shot out of his hand. Shocked, he jumped backwards and ran for cover as more shots were aimed at him.
Throughout this Conan was trying to find a spot he could shoot the sniper with his wristwatch, before Kogoro grabbed him by the collar of his shirt again and pulled him away out of the snipers sights. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BRAT, ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!?""A-AH!" Mouri cursed and ducked as a bullet bounced off the side of a warehouse with a metallic ping and set Conan down. "Stay out of sight," he warned Conan before going to assist the officers.
"As if I was going to jump in front of that guy's gun" Conan snorted, and peeked out from behind the building to see the sniper running on the rooftops after KID who was now luring him away from the taskforce while attempting to avoid all attempts on his life. "That idiot's going to get himself killed, like that" Conan winced as a bullet came a little too close to the thief for comfort and ran after the sniper, hoping for a chance to tranquilize him before he did any real damage.
"Nice try Snake, but you won't be getting me this time" KID taunted making the sniper scream with rage and redouble his efforts to shoot the annoying thief. "So that's his codename, Snake, it doesn't sound like someone from the B.O." Conan was almost right below Snake by now. The assassin had run out of rooftops, excluding a small shack, and was standing on the edge of the warehouse he was on top of trying to kill KID.
Conan took aim with his watch and was just about to shoot Snake when two things happened at once. The taskforce had caught up with an incredibly mad Inspector leading them, and the ground started to rumble, throwing everyone of balance as it shook. Conan got up just in time to see a large chasm open up right where KID was standing. "KID LOOK OUT" The Thief had jumped out of the way just in time, but Snake had also regained his balance. A shot rang out and KID fell into the chasm right before their eyes.
Couldn't resist a bit of a cliffhanger, though fail action is fail action, I'm still new to actually being the one to write the stories, nevermind longer ones like this one is probably gonna be.
