Detective Conan everything screwed up

"Wha-Conan-kun!?" Sato and Takagi were the ones to respond to call of the attempted robbery since they were closest, even though they were in the homicide division instead of the robbery division.
Sato and Takagi immediately dashed over to the unconscious boy on the floor near the teenaged worker, the only thing on their mind was the little detective's safety and health as they nearly tripped over their own two feet to get to the boy.
Sato reached his side first and immediately ripped the boys shirt in an attempt to find the wound and see how bad it was before the ambulance got there, but she stopped when she noticed a bulletproof vest on the boy's body under his suit vest and the slug that was in the lining of the vest.
"A bulletproof vest? But where?" Takagi was just as surprised to see the vest as Sato was while they both relaxed a bit since the bullet hadn't pierced the vest. He hadn't been shot again. Or well…he hadn't been actually pierced by the bullet
"I bought it for him earlier today. I wasn't expecting it to be used this soon, but I'm glad I made him wear it just in case." Rias said stepping from the store room at the sound of the detectives voices and there was a smattering of blood on her clothes and face as she wiped her hands off on her skirt.
"Are you okay ma'am?" Takagi was the one to ask as he looked at the woman alarmed from the sight of the blood.
"Oh this? Don't worry it's not mine." Rias said glancing down at her outfit and looking surprised at the sight of the blood on it. She hadn't realized she had been letting that bastard dirty her outfit with his blood.
"I was less than pleased with the man who hurt him so I just… vented my displeasure." Rias said before she carefully scooped Conan into her arms and cradled him close.
"While the bullet didn't pierce the vest, he could still have cracked and broken ribs. We should get him to the hospital." Rias said staring softly at the boy in her arms before looking calmly at the two officers.
"The ambulance will be here in two minutes. What did you do to the gunman?" Sato asked staring at the woman who just smiled politely, which sent a shiver down the detectives spines with the blood still on her face. She looked more than a little deranged like that. As if there was nothing she wouldn't do at the moment to protect what she considered hers and by the way she was holding Conan…she had definitely claimed him as hers.
"Nothing illegal." Rias said simply as she sat down on the floor and cradled Conan close, holding him against her chest as if he were a sleeping baby as she used one hand to support his back and the other to hold his head. She hummed softly as if to keep him asleep as she waited for the ambulance.
"Sato-san. Is it just me or is she acting like a… well a mother?" Takagi asked his partner in a whisper and earning a nod from her in return as she stared at the woman for a moment before going to the back to retrieve the criminal.
"Holy…" Sato looked a bit shocked at the sight of the criminal who had some of his finger nails taken out and was scratched horribly.
"As I said. I didn't do anything illegal. I merely vented my displeasure at him harming my baby." Rias said holding Conan close and not taking her eyes off of the small child in her arms. She didn't even notice the exact word choice she had used…but Takagi sure did. Sato was too busy making sure that the criminal was actually alive.
"Please. I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Just don't let her back in here. Don't put me near that…that she-demon!" The criminal begged as he looked at Sato who was a bit disturbed at how broke the man looked with so few injuries on his body.
"As a detective's apprentice I'm quite adept at reading into the mind and pulling out their deepest darkest secrets just from their eyes. Naturally when he hurt my baby boy I decided to use those skills." Rias said and she looked more than a little smug at just how well she had broken the man's mind and spirit. No one hurt her little one and got away with it unscathed. Not even Rum or That person would escape her wrath if they harmed her little one.
/Damn straight./
She deliberately ignored the voice in her head again that actually agreed with her on these thoughts. Conan-kun's well being was more important than her mental debates were at the moment.
/I can agree with that./
"Rias-san?" Conan asked coming back around and causing Rias to stare down at him surprised but happy that he was conscious.
"Conan-kun. How do you feel?" Rias asked not letting the boy up as he blinked at her curiously.
"My ribs hurt. I got shot again didn't I?" Conan asked and it seemed like he already knew the question but Rias winced and nodded anyways. She hated that he could tell when he's been shot and ask the question so easily.
"You sure did baby. Gave me quite a scare. I'm glad that I bought you that vest when I did or else you'd be much worse off." Rias said holding him a little closer as she thought of how badly it would have been if he didn't have the vest on and had gotten shot. The bullet had been right near his lung on the vest…if it got through the rib cage then it could have pierced his lung and made him drown in his own blood. Even with it stopped by the vest, the force behind it would have broken some of his ribs and they could be piercing his lung right now.
"Are you having any problems breathing or anything?" Rias asked paling a bit as she realized that he could be slowly drowning in his own blood right now while she just laid there with him in her arms.
"Just a little." Conan admitted making Rias go stark pale as the paramedics rushed in.
"He likely has broken ribs, one of which could be piercing his lung! He mentioned having problems breathing and he was unconscious until recently." Rias reported immediately to the paramedic as she gently settled Conan onto the stretcher and hovered worriedly for a moment.
"We'll take good care of him ma'am. You can ride with if you want." The paramedic said noticing her look of worry and panic as she watched the little boy be loaded into the ambulance.
"I was going to anyways and you'd better take care of him. If you don't I /do/ know how to hide the evidence and body." Rias said with a heavy glare that made the paramedic pale and nod meekly before she climbed into the back of the ambulance and held Conan's tiny hand in her own, whispering how they'd go for ice cream and actually be able to eat it and enjoy it as soon as he was deemed okay by the doctors.
"Do you think that she might be Conan-kun's mother? She acts too much like one for it to be much of a coincidence." Takagi asked his partner as they loaded the whimpering criminal into the other ambulance with handcuffs on his wrists.
"I think she might just have strong maternal instincts and adopted Conan-kun after she started work at the Mouri Agency. She's too young to be his actual mother unless there's a teenage pregnancy in play. Besides he called her Rias-san. Not kaa-san." Sato said shaking her head as she motioned for the newly arrived robbery officers to take over from there.
"Maybe she is his mother and since she was so young when he was born she gave him up for adoption? She could have been planning on getting him back after she had a stable job and all only to find him in the care of Detective Mouri and Ran-chan and she just hasn't told them the truth yet? It would explain why she's so motherly to him at least and why he wouldn't call her kaa-san if he doesn't know about it. If you look at them together then they do look kind of similar don't they?" Takagi asked making Sato hum as they got into her car to go to the hospital and check on Conan-kuns condition.
"Now that you mention it they do look similar in the face and her eyes are the same shade of blue as his. You might be onto something Takagi. After all no one seems to know who Conan-kun's parents are. Who's to say that he knows himself?" Sato asked as she started the car.
"Ah but didn't Ran-chan mention that his apparent mother visiting Conan-kun a year ago?" Takagi remembered that tidbit as he held on for dear life.
"If he was adopted by the woman who showed up a year ago then it explains why she hasn't visited since and there's been no mention of his father. They could have just taken him in for cheap labor or something and when Ran found him that day with Professor Hakase…they might have thought it was a brilliant way to get rid of him while still getting government checks or something." Sato said with a scowl as hundreds of possibilities whirled through her mind, each one just as bad if not worse than the last.
"For his sake…I hope Conan-kun finds his parents one day and that they do love him." Takagi said softly and earning a jerky nod from Sato.
"If he doesn't then I'd be happy to adopt him." Sato said as she slammed the car to a stop in a parking spot at the hospital and jumped out.
"Okay." Takagi said getting out behind his crush and then pausing as he realized what she said.
"Wait what?"
