Conan first went numb, then pain hit him like a truck. A bullet had gone through his right shoulder. Conan fought to keep conscious.
But something powerful kept him running- it was his will to survive.
'Oh, you're a tough one, aren't you!' Gin remarked, cocking his gun once more.
Conan reached the door when another bullet was fired, this time penetrating him just above the left of his pelvis. Tears streamed out of Conan's eyes as pain tortured him mercilessly.
Conan pushed through the door with his body and limped outside, one hand clenching his shoulder wound.
Freedom at last!
Thankfully, the warehouse had been decently lit, so his eyes didn't take long to adjust to the glare of police spotlights. Several police, SWAT and FBI units were surprised to see him, but Conan kept running. His eyes focused on one person in the crowd - his brother, Shinichi.
In the background, he heard Unit Commanders yelling orders to the SWAT crew while the FBI prepared to storm in. On top of a nearby apartment, he saw police snipers, including FBI sniper Shuichi Akai, training their rifles to their targets inside.
But Conan didn't care about those. His mind and body was focused on reaching Shinichi, who had begun to run towards him, with Inspector Meguire yelling at him to get behind the protective barrier.
BANG!
Another bullet sped through the air and hit Conan right in the thigh. Conan let out a short scream in pain and collapsed, right into his brother's awaiting arms.
Shinichi cradled him in his arms.
'Conan? Conan?!'
Panic flooded through Shinichi. Could his brother be...
That thought was interrupted by a groan from Conan. Shinichi let out a sigh of relief.
'Shi-Shinichi-niichan...' Conan murmured. Pain and fatigued washed over him, leaving him in a half-dead state with his eyes half closed
'C-Conan, I'm here.' Shinichi reassured him and mustered up a smile.
'It h-hurts, Shinichi-niichan,' Conan said, with a tear trailing down his face.
'I know, Conan, I know.' Comforted Shinichi, gently wiping away Conan's tear.
' So t-tired. Maybe if I close my eyes...' Conan's eyes began to shut.
'H-hey, stay with me buddy,' Shinichi said, before turning and yelling, ' WHERE'S THE EFFIN' MEDIC!!!'
Medics ran towards them with a stretcher, and checked his vitals. Conan felt himself gently laid down on a stretcher and he was ushered off to Beika Hospital.
