Here's a quick drabble to explain Kaito's comment to Shinichi in the last chapter. :)

People Against Doorbells
"Shin-chan~!" Kaito appeared in a puff of smoking and landed on Shinichi's couch.
Shinichi looked up from his morning coffee, "Kaito, for the hundredth time, use the doorbell."
"But then you would be expecting me," Kaito said, making himself comfy on the couch and moving a few cushions, "It would ruin my entrance."
"Come on," Shinichi said, "I could be half-naked when you decide to appear."
Kaito looked thoughtful, "That wouldn't be so bad. . ."
Shinichi glared at him.
"Kidding, kidding."
"Just use the doorbell, okay?"
"But just showing up at the door doesn't make a good impression," Kaito said, crossing his arms.
"I beg to differ," Shinichi drawled.
"Denied," Kaito said briskly, "Doorbells suck. In fact, I am a member of – of PAD -no- PAD THAI."
Shinichi let out a long suffering sigh, "Elaborate."
"We are the People Against Doorbells That Hinder Awe-striking Impressions," Kaito said, apparently ready to run with his idea, "We don't want people's entrances to be ruined by the social stigma of doorbell ringing."
"That's nice," Shinichi said, "Should 'that' really be capitalized?"
"Shut up," Kaito said, "Our goal is to rid the world completely of the oppression of doorbells by removing them. We plan to-"
"I think that's enough," Shinichi said, "How about you go back outside and ring the doorbell right now."
Kaito gasped, "PAD THAI will not be happy with you."
"I fear the wrath of their only member," Shinichi said, "Now go."
"I'm so not the only member! PAD THAI will have it's revenge!" With that, Kaito vanished.
The next day, everyone associated with the Tokyo police force had to reinstall their doorbells.
Later, Heiji unwittingly become an official member. Kaito is making him a membership card.
The acronym became PAD THAI on its own. Which I love, because Pad Thai is the yummiest food EVER.
