Kidnapped Luck
Chapter 10
Tiny feet patter down the cold dark streets of 4th and Pine. The smell of asphalt and garbage strong after the hard showers. The dreary surroundings chilling their bodies to the core. Heart pounding many thoughts lingered in the young kids mind, including the thought of being spotted by a passerby in the state that they were in.

Moore was at a lost as he sat in McGuires office looking at the file of the cook who chops arses off. What was he doing here in the PD-he has to go back to the scene where his kids were last located. But nooo McGuire had to give him a reassuring pat to say that they'll turn up in the office.
He was such an idiot. Ever since Conan came to his life things were looking up for him but now… he was such a mess like an abandoned dog who followed when his master needed consoling. Then the memories of his very first case came back to him…
It was just moments after Rachel introduced him to Conan He remembered stumbling down the stairs and then before he realized Conan hitched a ride in the back seat of the cab with him;
"We'll talk about this later Raech, cuz I got a call for my first case in a long time."
"Uh huh, and what's the case? Finding a woman's misplaced purse?"
"No something about a mysterious man in black kidnapping a innocent girl-"
"Oh boy a car ride!"
"Geez I can't believe I'm actually taking you guys… Just make sure you keep a tight leash on that kid Raech."
How thankful looking back, that Raechel did not keep a tight leash on him cuz if she did Conan wouldn't have had the attack dog sniff out the girls location… Moore curled his left hand around his chin.
"So what to do you think Moore," a grinning visage beamed in his face causing Moore to fall backwards. "Geez McGuire don't scare me like that!"
"S-sorry Moore," his partner helped him up, "It was just that you were in one of those pondering visages I thought conjured up another one of your awesome theories."
'Theory…' suddenly shot up, "Theory that's it! You're a genius McGuire," and pecked him on his bald forehead before dashing out the door.

Small arms embrace Conan from behind making him crazy feeling her bare body pressed against his. "I-I'm s-sso cooold conan!"
"D-Don't w-worry Raechel we're almost there… J-hust a couple more blocks.."
"I-I cant move."
And she was right they both couldn't move there tiny bodies were freezing standing in the middle of the street.
'This is bad… Comon' Jimmy think! Someplace warm fast.' Then an idea came to his mind. "Raechel follow me" and he dashed to the nearby front steps of a nearby apartment.
"You're crazy Jimmy! Whoever sees us like this is gonna think we're-"
"True if we're older and finished puberty… And you cant negate the concept that this is an emergency-Just act adorable"
"Jimmy I-"
Then he knocked the door and a young woman with black hair gasped, "Oh my gosh what happened to you poor guys!" She rushed them in, "Quickly head to the fireplace I'll grab some blankets!"
"T-thank you" Conan murmured giving Raechel the, I told ya', grin.
