Chapter 4: Trouble at the Pharmaceutical building
Conan's P.O.V
Since our trip to Osaka I've been giving Ran the cold shoulder but that's only because I didn't want to have to explain why I freak out every time I see that black Porsche around. After I saw that car I told Heiji about it and he promised that if he saw that car again he would contact me immediately. Sunday I sat in my room contacting Vox and letting her know that I had found her brother in Osaka.
"Thank you Conan for finding my brother, I'll reward you later but for now I'm busy with a murder case so I'll contact you when I'm done."
"Alright Vox." I hung up the phone and contacted Haibara at Agasa's house.
"Hai?"
"Haibara."
"Kudou-kun."
"I saw Gin's porsche in Osaka. Can you think of any reason why Gin and Vodka would be in Osaka?"
"Eei but I think I might have found out why. Recently I read an article in the newspaper about a huge meeting taking place in the new structure built in Osaka I think the Black Organization has a target in that building."
"So you think their target is someone attending the meeting?"
"It's possible."
"I also met someone at the agency two days ago. She claimed to be Gin's sister. Know someone like that?" there was silence. "She goes by the codename Vox." There was still no answer.
"Haibara?" no answer
"Haibara?" She finally replied back after awhile
"Sorry Kudou-Kun."
"Do you know her?"
"No."
"Oh, because she claims that she lost her friend Akemi, wasn't that your sister's name?"
"It's a lie!" Haibara yelled through the phone.
"Haibara?" She was completely quiet again.
"I'm sorry Kudou-Kun I'll call you back later."
"Wait! Haibara!" CLUNK! She hung up before I could ask what was going on. "That was bittersweet." I seriously had no idea what just happened or what I had said to cause her to hang up so quickly, I had a bad feeling about it but I went ahead and brushed it off anyway and continued back to my previous task.
About an hour passed when I received another call. It was from Vox. I picked up the phone and waited for her to answer.
"Conan-Kun?"
"Hai, Vox-chan. What's going on?"
" I found out that the person who was murdered was secretly working under the Black Organization."
"What?"
"Yeah apparently he was secretly selling them illegal weapons and hazardous materials but got caught."
"So then you think the men in black killed him to cover up any trails that could expose them?"
"Seems that way."
"Damn that might have been our only lead, oh that's right! Vox did you hear anything about a meeting going on in some new building in Osaka?"
"Umm…Oh yeah! I heard that the new building that just opened is a pharmaceutical company."
"Pharmaceutical company?"
"Yeah you wouldn't believe this but another victim of the poison that shrunk you was found."
"What?"
"Yeah but that's not the best part apparently the victim's wife, friend, and a passersby saw the whole thing and was able to prove it to the authorities. This new building is creating cures for drugs like the poison you were given."
"Does that mean that there's a chance I can get my normal body back too?"
"I wouldn't count on it; this company is a threat to the organization and now that people are aware that the Black Organization exists they will stop at nothing to silence them.
"So you're saying that there's a possibility that by the end of the day that building won't even be standing."
"Pretty much."
"Damn!"
"Don't give up hope. I promise I'll help you."
"yeah." By this point I was not only pissed but I was about ready to scream. My ticket to normalcy lies in Osaka but there's a chance that I'll get there too late. I was so tired of going around in circles when will it end? When I'm dead? I made up my mind. I was going to head to Osaka to see if there really was a cure for my condition.
"Conan, you there?"
"I'm heading to Osaka."
"WHAT?"
"I'm going to Osaka to see for myself."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? The organization is after both of us."
"If you're worried, meet me in Osaka." There was a long pause then she spoke again.
"I'll meet you there then." With that I hung up, grabbed my coat and skateboard and rushed out the door. I rushed right past Ran and went down the stairs. Once at the bottom I jumped onto my super powered skateboard and sped all the way to the train station. I boarded the five o'clock train to Osaka.
I got there about five fifty-three and waited for Vox to show up. She rounded the corner and met up with me. I hardly recognized her without her black outfit on, she was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
"You got here fast."
"No, you're just slow."
"How did you get here so fast Vox-chan?"
"Shhhhhh! Don't call me that here, the Organization is probably watching."
"Gomenasai, Mai-chan."
"It's fine. Anyway I was here way before our phone call."
"Why?"
"That murder case I was working on, that person was murdered here in Osaka."
"I see."
"Mai-Neechan! Conan-Kun!" Vox and I both turned just in time to see Plymouth run up with a large duffle bag slung over one shoulder and is that a lizard on her shoulder.
"What are you doing here Plymouth? And why did you bring Tievel? I told you not to bring him."
"He was getting bored and I figured something exciting would happen like someone dying or something."
"Already happened."
"Sweet! Please tell me it was someone I dislike like my sister, she's an ass."
"Not even close."
"Dammit."
"It's a hundred and something degrees out here and you're wearing black, are you crazy?"
"Hellz ya. Woof." I just chuckled while listening to the girls quarrel. Then I realized we were slowly wasting time and I broke up their little arguement.
"Hey guys we're wasting time."
"Oh, Gomenasai." The two girls stopped bickering and we quickly ran in the direction of the Pharmaceutical Company. It was kind of hard not to miss since it was the tallest building in the area. Just as we were rounding the corner a caught a glimpse of a man carrying something metal in his hand. Is that a detonator? Crap! Gotta hurry!
"Sir, don't hit that button!" The two teens realized what I was yelling about and joined in too.
"Don't do that there are innocent people in that building!" Gotta think fast. I got it! That's when I decided to use the latest invention Agasa made for me, my belt! I quickly inflated a soccer ball and then using my super-powered shoes I kicked the ball as hard as I could hoping I could knock the detonator out of the man's hand. Sure enough I got it at just the right angle and the detonator flew from his hand. Got it! The man seemed surprised and turned in my direction that's when I got a clear view of the situation. The man that was holding the detonator had a gun placed to the back of his head by someone dressed in black. I knew the organization had to be playing some part in this. The man looked shaky and pale behind his glasses. He was wearing a medical coat and gray pants. He had brown hair and looked to be no more than 20; a young adult. Off to the side I could see two other men they weren't wearing black and looked more like bank robbers than BO members. These two men were obviously holding the man's wife and daughter hostage. As we got closer I realized that the man holding the gun wasn't dressed in black but a dark gray outfit that anyone could easily mistake for black. So does that mean that the BO isn't involved in this after all? No, I'm missing something. I was interrupted from my thoughts by the gray coated man.
"Hey Kid! Go pick that up for me!" I looked at the detonator on the ground.
"Do it now or I'll blow this man's brains all over the place and we'll have a bloody party!" God what a psychotic, sadistic asshole. If anyone needed their brains blown out it was this freak. I began to walk closer seeing as I was not just going to be able to walk away when there were hostages. I knew my friends were against it but I had nothing to worry about, Vox had my back. When I was about two inches from the detonator I grabbed it and then walked up to the man.
"That's a good little boy wouldn't want anyone getting hurt now would we?" the man snickered and one of his companions pushed the gun harder against the victim's wife's head. Just then I picked up the detonator and kicked it at the gray coated man. He fell backwards hitting the pavement. His companions panicked and pointed the guns in our direction. Vox dashed at one of the guys and with incredible speed picked up the man and threw him using a judo style move. Only one left to go or so we thought. The last guy dashed towards Plymouth. That's when she did the unthinkable; she picked up her pet iguana and threw it at the guy.
"Plymouth I can't believe you just threw Tievel."
"Don't worry he'll be fine."
"You're a horrible owner."
"It's okay he'll forgive me later."
"Guys can you save the bickering there's more coming" the two girls turned in my direction as a swarm of men came our way.
"Plymouth I hope you brought my baby."
"You know I never forget sis." Plymouth took the huge bag off her shoulders and grabbed something big out of the bag and then threw the bag to Vox. She picked up the bag and took something heavy out
What the hell? The heavy object that vox picked up was a Bazooka. Holy shit! It was a good thing that I ducked because at that moment she fired the bazooka. Luckily no one was killed but many were injured. I had to admit it was funny as hell because the moment the bullet hit the pavement the guys were shot into the air from the impact. I couldn't stop laughing. Even the man and his family who were held hostage were laughing.
"Dammit Vox, it was my turn to use the ridiculously large weapon."
"Hehe sorry sis."
"Mai-chan wasn't that a bit much?"
"Na, if that hadn't worked I had something else in store for them." I sweatdropped what else could she have possibly used against those guys. Do I even want to know. The man and his family walked up to us.
"I can't thank you all enough for saving me and my family."
"It was no big deal."
"Excuse me sir, is it true that that building is working on creating a cure for that poison recently discovered?" the man gave me a surprised look and smiled.
"That is true young man." The man bent over and patted my head.
"Has there been any success?"
"Surprisingly, no."
"I see." More disappointment. How much could one person take before they completely gave up?
"I hope don't sound rude but why do you want to know?" I really didn't want to answer this question, but at this point I was becoming desperate for answers. I was too slow.
"He is also a victim of that poison."
"Mai-chan!"
"It's okay Conan, he's my cousin; Kosuke. He won't tell a soul. After all his friend also became a victim to that same poison."
"So then that other victim I heard of on the news was your best friend?"
"Yeah I'll tell you what happened but let's go to some place quiet first."
"Kimii Sweetie why don't you and mommy go home, everything's fine." Kosuke looked down at his daughter still gripping his hand.
"Okay daddy! Love you see you at home. Bye Mai." Kosuke's daughter smiled back at her father and ran off to her mother
When the two were out of sight Kosuke signaled for us to follow him.
"Wait, what about the bomb?" Kosuke laughed at me.
"What about it it's already been disabled."
"How?"
"They sent us a threat saying that if we didn't close the company they would blow it up. So I waited a couple days then went around and checked all the floors and sure enough I found the bomb in the testing facility. I knew that they had already planted the bomb in that room because the employees were complaining that they kept hearing a beeping noise. I used to work as a cop in the bomb division so it wasn't hard to deactivate."
"He he, Boom."
"Really now Plymouth?"
"Yes."
"Sorry Kosuke, continue."
"I'll just tell you when we get there." Kosuke sighed. I guess he was just tired and exhausted. We began to follow but stopped for a second so that Plymouth could retrieve her pet. Tievel crawled up her arm back onto her shoulder. She gave him a quick pet and then we started forward again. The man I had knocked out earlier was still sprawled out on the pavement by the bushes as for the others well; they had to be hospitalized thanks to Vox. About thirteen minutes later the police picked them up. We were about a half a block away but we still saw everything. The whole entire time we walked I just listened to Kosuke, Vox, and Plymouth as the talked about random topics and laughed. It was getting pretty late if I stayed out any longer I'd be looking forward to another long lecture, and I sure as hell did not want that again. Luckily we didn't have to stay very long and all he had to say to us was a long boring story of what he was doing that day when it happened. I got a little more information then I had before but not much. So this day was pretty much pointless.
Okay, so I kinda had a good idea going for this chapter but then I sorta got lazy so I'll fix it later but for now this is it so I hope you liked. Be sure to comment if you want to, I see u peoplez later. Bye byes.
