This.. This is so unfair! Shinichi thought. Why would something like this happen? Who would tell the police such a lie? He thought about it on the run home, it was pouring at that time. It was raining so hard you could barely see infront of your face, which is probraily the reason why he ran straight into Mouri Ran. The bump into Shinichi made Ran fall back in surprise.

Shinichi looked at her, and said "Sorry about that, Ran", then helped her up.

"It's ok." She looked up at him for a moment, and relized something was wrong. "Hey Shinichi, what happened? You look upset." Shinichi got quiet. What exactly could he say? He barely knew anything about it.

~~~Before Conan Came Along~~~

"I don't belive Shinichi would do such a thing!" Takagi said.

"Well that's what he said! I couldn't imagine him lying!" Shiratori replied.

"But is there even any proof he did such a thing?" Sato asked. "You can't just say he did if there wasn't any proof!"

Shinichi walked up to the four. "Hey, what's going on?" He asked. "Who said what about me?"

They all turned and looked at him. Sato, with sad, and worried eyes. Shiratori with cold, unforgiving eyes. Takagi with a confused look on his face, and a painful look on Megure's face. Shinichi's blood ran cold. Megure walked up to him, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Shinichi, listen," he said. "Maybe you should take a break from detective work for a while, you know, like a vacation." Shinichi just stood there, not knowing what to say, or what to do.

"Yeah," said Sato, a worried tone in her voice. "Maybe a vacation is for the best."

"A vacation?!" Shiratori yelled out. "He did something illegal, and he gets a vacation?! Inspector Megure what are you-"

"Shiratori!" Megure yelled, glaring at him. "We don't have any proof so we can't say that. Besides, I don't belive Shinichi would-"

"What happened? Instector Megure, whats going on?" Shinichi finally spoke out, after recollecting himself. It got quiet for a moment, Megure said to come with him, and took him into the next room. The air felt dense and heavy.

"We recieved a phone call from an anonymous person, who said they witnessed you doing a supicious trade with a man in a black coat." Inspector Megure said. "The trade have been for a new type of technology, an illegal one."

"Who said it though?" Shinichi asked.

"I'm not allowed to-"

"Who said it?!" Shinichi said, almost yelling.

"..We're not sure" Megure replied.

Of course he knows who did it. Shinichi thought. I heard what Shiratori said.

"Well that's what he said! I couldn't imagine him lying!"

You would have to know the person to say something like that. They know exactly who said it, they just won't tell me!

"Well, for now, just relax, and take some time off," Megure said in a reassuring voice. "By the time you come back, everything will be just the way it was before." Shinichi's head hung low, his hair shadowing his face. "Don't worry," Megure said. "We'll handle everything."

Shinichi's voice was quiet. "Alright." He walked out just as it was starting to rain.

"Seesh," Said Ran. "You'd think that he'd be happy he has time to relax."

"Ah, but you know shinichi," Sonoko replied. "He can't live without a good mystery."

"Yeah, I guess you're right, he still looks pretty upset though, I wish there was a way for me to cheer him up." Ran said, a meloncholy look on her face. "Maybe you could try one of those mystery party things?" Sonoko asked. Ran Shook her head. "No, he would probraily say something like.." She started to try and imatate his voice. "'This is such a childish thing to do.' or 'This is something a little kid would do.'" Sonoko suddenly had a sheepish grin, then started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Asked Ran.

"That sounded exactly like him!" Sonoko laughed. "Anyway, he needs to do more childish things anyway. He acts way too serious, I say we throw him the party."
