A loud crash could be heard, followed by a cry of rage.
Conan crouched in the darkness, eyes riveted to the trapdoor above him as Rina, in the study above, crashed around venting her rage on the innocent furnishings.
He nodded to Genta and Mitsuhiko, indicating that, for the moment it was safe to move on down the tunnel with the two sleeping Girls they were carrying.
At the far end of the tunnel was a door. Conan entered a code on the keypad, unlocking it as Haibara began to stir.
"Unngh..." she mumbled groggily, "Kudo-kun, did you really have to tranc me, too?" She looked around.
"Mitsuhiko-kun, Genta-kun, it has been a while..." she said, then looked at Ayumi, "What made her go ballistic on me like that?"
Mitsuhiko glared at her accusingly.
"You were stealing her boyfriend. What did you think would happen?" he said.
Ai looked quizzically at Conan.
"A bit young for you, isn't she, Kudo?" she said with a smile, "Though I suppose ten years does not look like much when you look the same age..."
"You knew that Conan was older?" Mitsuhiko asked in surprise.
"Knew about it?" She cooed, "I developed the chemical that did it to him. And myself as well."
The boy took a step back, suddenly seeing his childhood love in a new light.
"You... You mean..."
Another crash echoed from back the way they came.
"This is neither the time, nor the place to get into this." Conan interrupted, "for now, lets go."
"What's going on, anyway?" Haibara asked as they moved through the door behind Genta, who carried the still unconscious Ayumi.
"That's what I want to know." Mitsuhiko said, "Conan, what the HELL did you do to Rina? I was certain that you two had never met before, Yet when Sonoko broke down and told her you were here, she flipped out!"
Conan sighed. No getting around it.
"Rina is Ran. When she got kidnapped five years ago, Gin, one of the kidnappers, dosed her with the same stuff that shrunk me." The others gasped at the revelation as Conan continued, "My guess is that she figured out my identity after that and is probably after me because she is angry about all the lies as well as five years of no contact."
Haibara chuckled, at Mitsuhiko's curious stare, she smiled.
"I developed the drug to be a poison, and I think it is funny that it has consistently failed to kill those I care about." She said.
Conan looked back as they reached a second door.
"Ayumi-san, how long have you been awake?" He asked.
Ayumi squirmed to get her feet on the ground.
"Since a just before Ai-chan said she made the stuff that shrunk you two..." she said, "I am sorry for attacking you like that, Ai-chan... it is just that I just got Conan back after all this time, and the idea of loosing him, even to you, made me crazy. Can you forgive me?"
Genta Piped up, "At least it wasn't the right hook she gave Conan when she first saw HIM."
Ayumi blushed and Ai smiled.
"I forgive you, Ayumi-chan." she said and kissed the other girl right on the lips.
Genta and Mitsuhiko fainted.

Eri rushed up the steps to the destroyed door of the Kudo house, with Sonoko and Makoto on her heals.
They called out for Rina, searching rooms quickly. The teen Karate Master had torn through the house like a hurricane, leaving Shattered doors, broken glass, busted chairs and tables littering every room.
They found her, exhausted, in Shinichi's old bedroom, sobbing and shaking and punching weakly at the hard wood floor.
"Rina." Eri said softly.
Rina leaned back her head and screamed a mournful Scream and collapsed into a sobbing heap.
Eri gathered up her daughter and carried her out of the house.
I need to call Yukiko and Yusaku. She thought. Maybe they can get their son to stop digging up old bones.

Down the street, through the rain and wind, two people watched the scene from the back of a motorcycle. The driver grinned revved the engine. Feeling his companion's arms tighten around his waist, he gunned the engine, heading north.
Just you wait, Kudo. He thought. We will catch you yet.
