Jody Hopper walked out of the front door before turning to Shinichi and bowing. Shinichi nodded and watched her get halfway to the gate before closing the door. A few minutes later, Shinichi came out with Ran, "I'm taking Ran home, Kuroba!" he called in the house.
"Hai!" Kaito called, "Where'd you hide that book?!"
Shinichi rolled his eyes and closed the door before walking side by side with Ran, "Will she be okay?" Ran asked softly.
Shinichi smiled, "Don't worry," he pushed the gate open, "Now, let's get you home."
Meanwhile, Jody walked into the hotel she was staying at. She walked up to the front desk and the woman smiled, "Good evening Miss Hopper," she said then handed Jody her room key, "Here you are. Enjoy your night."
"I'll try," Jody smiled.
Jody looked at the clock in the lobby before entering elevator. A janitor soon joined her, "Going up?" he asked.
"Hai," Jody said smiling.
The janitor pushed a button. When the elevator stopped, Jody got off and the janitor tipped his hat, "Have a good night, ma'am," he said as the doors closed.
Jody walked down the hall until she stopped at a door. She put her key card in quickly and unlocked it. She opened the door and walked in, "Jody!" Paul said, "What did the detective and KID say?"
Jody smiled sadly and shook her head, "What?!" Robert asked, "We're going to die!"
Jody coughed, "I'm afraid I got a sore throat," she said softly and scratchy.
"I'll get you some medicine!" Paul yelled running to the kitchen.
"Too dusty for you, Miss. Hopper?" a woman asked.
Jody just nodded, "Oh leave her be, Victoria," Robert said, "You know how she is with dust."
Victoria sighed, "So…we're going to die tonight, fantastic," she said sarcastically.
"You are the most sarcastic magician I've ever met," Paul said.
Victoria just hummed and laid down on a bed pulling out a magazine. Jody sweat dropped before taking the water and medicine from Paul and nodding in thanks. She drank the water and took the pills. Jody sat down on the couch just as a knock sounded, "Room service!" the door opened, "Someone order a full buffet?"
"Uh…" Paul asked, "Did someone order this because I know I didn't."
"It's actually a gift," the man said, "From a nice fan of yours," he looked at Jody smiling.
"Oh…um…" Robert said nervously.
Jody stood up smiling. Suddenly, the lights went out, "What the?" Victoria said shocked.
"We're gonna die!" Paul yelled.
"Not quite," the lights suddenly came on, "Isn't that right, Janitor-san."
A man turned to the front door in shock to see Shinichi leaning against the wall next to the light switch. Ran poked her head in. The janitor charged at Jody, "Jody!" everyone yelled.
Jody suddenly kicked the man in the stomach, causing him to double over. She then elbowed him behind his neck and he fell to the ground unconscious. The room service guy turned to Shinichi, "Again. Your girlfriend scares me," Shinichi smirked.
"Jo…dy?" Paul asked.
"Not quite," Shinichi said walking in more and gestured for Ran to follow, "This is Jody Hopper," he said smiling.
Ran removed her face revealing Jody Hopper. Victoria fell off the bed in shock, "Huh?!" she yelled.
The other Jody did the same and revealed Ran, smiling sweetly, "Disguises brought to you by," smoke engulfed the room service man and revealed Kaito in his KID outfit, "Kaitou KID," he bowed playfully.
Shinichi rolled his eyes before smacking him in the back of the head, "Ow…" Kaito rubbed his head.
"Ran is a champion in karate," Shinichi explained, "It would be easier to catch your stalker if he believed we didn't help you. So, we sent a karate champion in Miss Hopper's place."
Ran blushed, but smiled, "But Tantei-kun here was still overprotective and had me here just in case," Kaito smirked.
Shinichi glared, "And who has his rival watching over Nakamori-chan?" Kaito glared.
Jody bowed to them, "We thank you," she said smiling, "Now we can go back on tour without any worries of being killed."
Shinichi smiled, "Come on Ran," he said, "Your dad is probably going to have my head by the time we get you home," Ran sweat dropped.
Kaito snickered, "Enjoy the food!" he called, "Paid for by Tantei-kun's parents!"
Shinichi felt around himself before a vain popped out of his head, "Kuroba!" he yelled, "Give me back my parents' credit card!"
"Aw…" Kaito whined, "But I was going to order 30 pizzas!" Shinichi smacked Kaito in the back of the head again, this time hard enough to knock his hat off, "Ow! Fine!" he handed the detective the golden card.
Shinichi mumbled things before taking Ran's hand and walking away, "Call the police, would ya?!" Shinichi called.
Kaito smirked just as sirens were heard, "You never learn, Tantei-kun," he said before picking up his hat and walking over to an open window, "Ja ne!" he yelled before jumping out and activating his hang glider.
Kaito was just about to finish the first book of Sherlock Holmes when Shinichi walked in, "I'm back!" he called.
"Welcome back!" Kaito yelled, "How long was the lecture?" his face was still in the book.
"Pretty long," Shinichi said walking into the living room, "Oji-san was drunk again," Kaito snorted.
"So…you weren't the one getting lectured, but Ran-chan lecturing her father?" Kaito asked still reading.
"Pretty much," Shinichi said sitting beside Kaito, "You're almost done?"
"Yep," Kaito stated turning the page, "Is this how you learned to do what you do?"
Shinichi snorted, "No," he said, "I read a bunch of my dad's novels along with these."
"Huh…'cause this stuff is incredibly simple," Kaito said gesturing to the book.
Shinichi rolled his eyes, "Try reading some of my dad's stuff," he said, "I still can't beat him in a game of deduction…"
"Yeah…" Kaito said, "I'm the same way with my dad and magic. Though I got the Poker Face down!" he grinned at Shinichi.
"Well, at least your dad wasn't crazy," Shinichi stated, "My mom was almost murdered with him standing beside her the whole time," Kaito finally turned away from the book in his hands and gave Shinichi a look of utter disbelief, "He said he wanted to know if he was the culprit. He was ready to push mom in front of a moving train…" Shinichi sighed and face palmed.
"Wow…" Kaito said before returning to his book.
"And then when I was Conan, they practically kidnapped me," Kaito snorted again.
"They what?" Kaito started laughing.
Shinichi sighed, "They wanted to prove a point," he said, "How facing up against the Organization was dangerous. Like I didn't know that already."
Kaito smirked and closed the now finished book and set it on the coffee table, "Well, we have school in the morning," he stood up.
Shinichi sighed, "Lay off the pranks, would ya?" he asked as he stood up, "If I wind up in a skirt again I'm getting a dog house…"
Kaito snickered as they climbed the stairs. Shinichi made a mental note to ask Kaito's mom, or even Aoko, if this dude had any weaknesses.
