The drive seemed to take forever and Gabe had fallen asleep more than once. Right now she was looking through her backpack and was slowly starting to regret letting her sister pack for her.

"Why would I need luminol? Scratch that, how do you even have luminol?" she asked her sister

"Do you really want to know?" was the immediate response.

"No, not really, plausible deniability and all that."

"Exactly."

Luminol wasn't the only questionable item she had, there was also an anesthesiac, a box of emergency food rations, a knife, a miniature saw, vinyl gloves, a pair of white gloves, lock-pics and a coil of rope, of course her sister had packed mars bars, a beautiful magnifying glass and a clean set of clothes in there too so she couldn't really complain.

She absently petted Holmes' head, who was sitting comfortably on her shoulder and preening her hair, Gabe had joked about her trying to make a nest in her hair but now she wasn't so sure about the bird's intentions. Normally it would've hurt her shoulder to have the claws digging into her, but all her shirts had padding inside the shoulders, possibly done by Mielikki so that she wouldn't have anything to complain about. Before long they made it to a wooden bridge where her sister stopped the car, looking nervous.

Gabe smiled, knowing of her sister's phobia of wooden bridges, and opened the door, shooing Holmes off her shoulder "Don't worry, I can walk to Sunset Mansion from here, you just get home safely."

Mielikki looked grateful and worried at the same time "If you're sure, how are you gonna get back?"

Gabe shrugged "Hitch-hiking will work, won't it? Don't worry, a 21-year-old like me can take care of myself." she said, closing the door "Ja ne!" she called, jogging across the bridge.

It was fairly quiet, though when taking into account that she was walking through a forest on top of a cliff, it was understandable. The sky was starting to darken and she could feel rain coming, something both she and her sister had inherited from their mother. She made it to the mansion before the rain could start though. She straightened the collar of her dark blue button-up shirt and brushed away the dirt off her black dress pants, she was also wearing black flats she'd borrowed from her sister because she herself didn't have any fancy shoes at the moment. When she was sure she looked presentable she knocked on the door and waited for someone to open. Looking behind her she could only see two cars, a white and a red one. She looked back when the door opened, a friendly looking woman with brown hair and eyes with freckles stood before her and welcomed her inside.

The inside of the mansion was as impressive as the outside, the walls were a soothing green, the stairs were wooden with red-brown carpets on them and the floor was covered in big, shiny, purple tiles. She had to hand it to the anime drawers, they sure knew how to pick colours.

Gabe turned to the maid and smiled "Have we been assigned rooms, or can I just pick one?" she asked kindly.

"Ah, I'll show you to your room." The woman said, sounding nervous.

Gabe followed the kind woman upstairs and after she'd been showed to her room she thanked her and went in. It was in the same colour as the entrance hall, though the floor was red carpeted, not tiled. She set down her olive green mil-tech backpack and sat down on the bed, sighing and putting her head in her hands. What was she doing? She'd never done anything like this before. Gabe had never done something so reckless, sure she had some sort of detective career here but she hadn't lived through any of it. Why did she think she could do this? She sighed again and lifted her head, well, there was no going back now.

Arming herself with the luminol spray-bottle, which hung by a hook from her beltloop, and the gun which had been hidden under her pillow for some reason, which she'd tucked into her sock, she went to investigate. The only reason why that one woman would've needed luminol and the only reason why Mielikki would've even mentioned it was if it was needed for something. Luminol reacts with blood, so somewhere there had to be bloodsplatter that would be important for the plot. And so her snooping began, conclusion, there was blood everywhere and she meant everywhere. What the hell had happened at this mansion? She had passed a fat man in a white suit a while ago, she was pretty sure this was the guy who was gonna die but as she had never seen the episode she couldn't be sure. The rain had started, reflecting her darkening thoughts.

Soon enough she was at the entrance hall, just in time to see a creepy bastard in a green suit telling a longhaired brunette girl that the pattern on the door was most likely someone's dried up blood. Looking at the other three she could see an old lady in dark pink, a man with a moustache in a blue-purple suit and a kid with dark brown hair and glasses, he was wearing a light blue short-sleeved hoodie, blue shorts and red sneakers with a round knob on each. She knew these were the dials for his super-kick shoes and smiled faintly. Hello, Edogawa Conan. She came back to the present when the girl, Ran if she remembered correctly, refused to believe the creepy detective.

"Sorry to say, he's not kidding." Gabe said, spraying the railing she was standing next to "But I keep finding blood everywhere, this place should be called Bloodsplatter mansion instead of Sunset mansion." she continued as she looked at the glowing droplet-shapes on the handrail. Turning around she spoke once more "With this much blood everywhere I'd say there had to be more than two victims, though a fourth had to have been killed immediately at the door, since it's splattered in such a way." she explained as she hung the luminol from her beltloop once more.

"That's impressive." came a voice from above them and Gabe immediately looked up, spotting the source immediately, a handsome young man her sister's age with brown-blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a blue suit with dark brown dress shoes,a light purple dress shirt and a blue-green tie, a person she'd seen many times on her sister's computer. This youngling was Hakuba Saguru, half-Brit high school detective and hardcore Sherlock Holmes fan. Hakuba smirked as he once again started talking "Luminol. When luminol and blood combine, it turns to a purple colour. Isn't that right, detective of the North, Ojanen Gabrielle-san?" he said, descending the stairs.

Gabe smirked before she answered "Just Gabe or Oja-san, meitantei Hakuba Saguru-kun."

Hakuba raised an eyebrow, perhaps slightly taken aback by the fact someone recognized him "Nice to meet you."

Gabe heard Mouri sputter from behind her "Hakuba? As in the Police Chief Hakuba?"

"Yes, my father is the Police Chief Hakuba you're thinking of, Mouri-san." the boy said, finally making it downstairs, Gabe now noticed the glove on his hand and smiled as the boy whistled.

Summoned by the shrill sound, a hawk flew down and landed on the poised arm as Ran was startled by it "Ah, sorry if he frightened you. This is Watson. Since he has traveled with me so often, he likely sensed blood in the area." Hakuba said, smiling slightly. He then proceeded to mention a tragedy that had taken place at the mansion forty years ago.

They all went their separate ways then, either to freshen up, change clothes or snoop around. Gabe was one of those who went to snoop around. She knew she wasn't the only one when out of nowhere Watson landed on her shoulder. It came so unexpectedly that she actually yelled out and stumbled, before glaring at the bird.

"Mattaku, you scared me there, why are you even here? Where's you owner, huh?" she asked him in English as she petted him. She blinked when Watson started to sniff at her hair and she came to a realization, Watson was sitting where Holmes had been sitting earlier "Oy, are you sitting there because you can smell Holmes on me? Yeesh, maybe I can talk your owner into letting you meet her."

A whistle made Watson perk up and hop off of Gabe's shoulder and fly over to his owner, who was standing just behind the corner. Gabe followed the bird and leaned against the wall, observing the boy who was three years her junior.

"You know, I think Watson has a crush on my sister's hawk." she told him.

"Really? Well, he hasn't really had the opportunity to socialize with any of his own kind. I haven't met anyone else with a hawk as a pet." the half-Brit said, before continuing, perhaps a little embarrassed "Sorry if he startled you."

Gabe just shook her head "Don't worry, Holmes is way worse... and yes, my sister named her female pet hawk Holmes." she deadpanned.

They separated after that and, once Gabe was sure she knew where everything was, she made her way to the room she'd seen a pooltable in. Once she got there she could see Ran and Conan playing Poker, Mouri and the old lady playing chess and Hakuba and the creep playing pool. Making her way over two the poker table she sat down and asked if she could join them. After they consented they started talking.

"So, I'm pretty sure you remeber me from the hall, but I have no idea who you are." Gabe said, smiling slightly, trying to act friendly.

Ran answered immediately "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Mouri Ran, yoroshiku."

"Bokuwa Edogawa Conan-desu." Conan said brightly.

Gabe smiled and delt out new cards for the three of them. The game went on nicely, until...

"Yay! Straight!" Ran cheered as she collected her loot.

Conan was looking at her with a face that said "I'm never playing with you again." While Gabe noticed a little detail about Ran's cards.

"Oy, oy, Mouri. I don't like cheaters, especially when they aren't good enough to not get caught." she said, pointing at the card which was concealing another card.

"Sorry, I didn't see that." Ran said, starting to pry the two cards apart.

Once they were apart, however, she screamed and dropped the cards, making everyone rush over. Gabe stood up from her chair to look at the two cards, seeing the bloodstain which had been holding the two cards together.

"Told you there was blood everywhere." She said sardonically, poking the card that had been attached to the Jack.

Everyone on the room stared at her like she was insane, and by their standards she probably was, a little. It wasn't her fault she was morbid and had a slightly dark humor, personally she blamed her dad who let her watch all kinds of films and TV series. Part of her wondered if she should interact with them this much, since she had no idea what they were like. But then again, this would make her less suspicious, her not knowing things she shouldn't know. It was an endless cykle in her mind and with her getting easily stressed it was not a good thing.

The sound of the door opening scared Ran and startled the others except Gabe, who'd gotten used to abrupt noises since you couldn't go a day at her house without something making a huge noise. It turned out to be the maid, who informed them that dinner was to be served. Gabe wondered if the fat man would finally reappear again, since they hadn't seen him since he apparently yelled at the maid about the cook not being there. Gabe was sure that a cook had never been hired and the man only used it as an excuse to reassure everyone that the food wasn't poisoned. Gabe knew it wasn't, she had suffered through her sister explaining the whole plot to her one night when they were in bed at a shared room at a hotel and they should've been sleeping.

When they entered the dining room Gabe almost stopped and gaped, almost. The dummy was wearing a purple hood with glowing red eyes that screamed of "evil megalomaniac supervillain in some fantasy show", or maybe "cult leader". Either way it was so out of character for Kaito KID she had no idea how detectives could actually even suspect it being him, come on, her sister said Hakuba was some sort of KID expert, how could he possibly be fooled when she herself, someone who knew next to nothing about KID, was not. She was suddenly understanding just how easy it was to be a detective in this universe. Everyone was stupid on some level and/or got sixth sense warnings about stuff that was happening nearby, that or they were cursed and people just dropped dead around them. Her sister had more than once joked about Kudo's "Shinigami powers".

Sitting down while the creep spoke to the dummy she let her head fall on the table, muttering about "cult leader wannabe" get-ups and how it was a fashion disaster. Not that she was up to date about fashion or even paid any attention to it, she did however know what looked just plain horrible.

Hakuba ended up sitting beside her while the fat man sat beside him and the old lady beside him, Mouri, Ran, Conan and the creeper sat at the other side of the strangely shaped table. It looked like a digital U. It looked like something her sister would want her to buy, come to think of it, the hood looked like a Halloween costume her sister would wear. So many dumb things... her head was hurting now.

"So, the reason I have called you six here is a simple one. I want you all to find the treasure hidden in this place. By risking your lives..." the recorded message said in a sinister way and Gabe suppressed a sigh, wondering just how much the fat man actually knew about KID. Not a lot she'd wager. She listened to the recording, bored out of her mind, filing away what was said and done by the people inside the room. The explosions came as a surprise but she didn't even flinch at the sound and only glanced at the fat man in white as he stood up to rage about the sound. She only listened with half an ear to what the recording said, not too interested in what it was saying, however, she did almost laugh when the creepy guy in green took off the mannequin's hood and revealed it to be a doll. His face was hilarious. The monologue continued and Gabe couldn't help but feel like she needs to hit everyone over the head, how anyone could even mistake this for kid was beyond her.

"Then, who is responsible for this?" Mouri asked.

Gabe couldn't help herself, she covered her eyes with a hand and sighed "Even if you have no interest in him I'm surprised you haven't figured it out." she said, looking up from between her fingers and laying eyes on Conan, who looked smug, he'd figured it out, then "The shadow child abandoned by God" she continued, taking her hand away.

"Shadow becomes phantom." the creeper said "Meaning something that appears invisible."

"A ninben symbol is used to denote an animal." the old lady continued "Say, like a cat or dog."

The fat man spoke next "The child abandoned by God" means a "yagi", like the one in the holy book. Here it is only a baby."

Hakuba was next to speak "In English, "yagi" means "goat." But this is a baby "yagi"..." he trailed off, opening his eyes "Kid."

"What!?" Mouri asked.

Gabe smirked "In other words, "The shadow child abandoned by God" becomes: "Kid the phantom thief."" she said, sitting back.

"That-" Mouri said

"Then, that means..." his daughter continued.

"Yes, the one that can take anything like it's magic..." the old lady said.

"The Moonlight Magician, the Heisei Lupin..." Gabe continued.

"That certain thing we detectives always await... The Main Dish." the fat man said.

"The one thief everyone wants to put away..." the creeper was next to speak.

Hakuba was the last with anything to say "And, out of all my cases, it was he who engineered one that I wasn't able to solve... Kaito Kid!"
