Ran's POV
Always... beside me? What did he mean?
Disguise?
Who is always beside me?
No way he is Dad, because Shin'ichi does not drink.
Not Sonoko, because Sonoko still acts like Sonoko.
Then... Conan-kun?
No- He is too young!
Then who will he be? Always beside me...Always beside me...
I reviewed my knowledge of Conan-kun.
He always tries to protect me.
Sometimes he calls me Ran.
His parents were away, I have only seen his mother once.
I just realized, now that I knew almost nothing about him. I will go and find out about his past... and if it exists, his true identity.
Conan's POV
I shouldn't have said that. I really shouldn't have said that.
Now Ran will surely find out who I am.
I will trail her and find out what she's up to.
She'll probably look at my files and ask witnesses. I just hope Hattori will stop calling me Kudo. It exposes too much.
Conan's POV.
Hattori came to visit. "Kudo" again. Ran...
Well, I have to go to shut Hattori up.
Ran's POV
I don't understand why have't I noticed it yet. Heiji calls Conan Kudo, every time they meet!
Now though I'm trying to eavesdrop, all I could hear was nothing suspicious.
But then...
"Hattori."
"What's bothering you, Kudo?"
"There's Ran."
"Where?"
"Behind us." Then they hurried away.
Kudo...Kudo...
I could NOT believe it. Kudo!And he answered to it!
Evidence!
Shinichi...
Conan's POV
"What were you doing? She heard us!" I fumed.
"What?" Hattori asked.
"Though the one who slipped up is me..."
"So what did ya do?"
" I told her I was always by her side, stupid of me, huh?"
"Ohnoshecomes!" groaned Hattori.
