Lurker: While I will consider your advice, I have read many books in my life. I have read things where everything is laid out and big words are used. I am saying that I will not be changing it...it is the way I write, if you don't like it...don't read it. I may stink but it is better than only dialogue on every chapter.

Onward to fanfic!!

Kaito sat at home and seemed more somber than usual. Jii noticed his melancholy and asked "What is wrong young master?" Kaito looked up and smiled falsely "Nothing I am just planning out the heist" he said and bounded away before Jii could continue questioning him.

Kaito headed to his room and looked at his gadgets lying in a precise order on his bed. He held up a flash bomb and realized that the fuse had fallen out. He sat at his desk and set to work fixing it.

He felt a little better keeping his hands busy. Kaito's hands moved swiftly and accurately as he reattached the fuse. Kaito smiled as he finished his repair; he placed the flash bomb back in its place in his pristine, white suit.

He then checked his watch "2 more hours" he said allowing a small smile to light his features. He felt the smile drop from his face as he remembered Heiji had told him just to distract the police and that he could take it from there.

He sighed "I hope he knows what he is doing" he murmured to himself. He picked up the suit and went to get ready.

Gin had stopped the gun practice for now, and had resorted to pacing around the room. Conan watched him and wondered if he was nervous...nah not him. Gin suddenly turned and gave him the most heart freezing glare he had ever seen.

He then turned away with a huff. "Guess I know what he is thinking about" Conan thought anxiously. Vodka had been outside all day packing the pistols and other supplies. Conan figured that he did not want to be in the high tension area Gin was currently occupying.

Vodka came in and said "Everything is ready" Gin nodded absentmindedly. Gin stopped pacing and motioned for Conan and Gin to come over to him. Vodka strode over quickly while Conan was a bit slower in trotting over.

Gin stated "Tonight we succeed...right?" he directed this last comment at Conan. Conan nodded at loss for words. Conan knew though that he would not be able to shoot the Kid, no matter how much of a pain in the he was.

Gin started to explain startling Conan from his thoughts. "Tonight Vodka you will keep watch" Vodka nodded as Gin continued "Conan and I will go up to the roof and wait for the thief." Gin stated "Conan will shoot him and we will escape...unless," he said quietly and Conan felt his stomach drop.

"He fails, then in that case, I will be putting a bullet through his brain and that thief's" Conan was pale but Gin ignored it. "Either way we will make out escape after that" he looked at Conan as he finished speaking.

Gin looked at his watch "Lets' head out" he said stalking to the door, Vodka quickly followed him. Conan followed and saw that they were already in the car as he got outside. He quickly hopped in and could quite literally feel his time running out.

Heiji and Ai walked to the heist quickly. Ai nearly had to jog to keep up with the intense Heiji. He was filled with tension it seemed to crackle with every step he took. Ai allowed him to do this because she was lost in thoughts of her own.

They both remained this way until they arrived at the museum. They looked up at the building and realized it looked intimidating. Heiji asked Are you sure you wan to come?"

"No" Ai answered bluntly "But it does not mean that I am not going to go" she finished.

Heiji nodded "All right let's go." They both entered quietly and separated, Heiji went to find Gin and Conan, Ai would stay nearby and keep watch. Heiji made it up to the roof and found a small place where he could hide. He was nervous though because he had not brought a weapon. If things got ugly...he did not want to think about it.

Gin and Conan stood at the edge of the roof and watched for Kaitou Kid. Conan fingered the pistol and weighed his options. Gin looked manic and ready to kill. It was quite evident to Conan that he was looking forward to this...

Meanwhile Ai watched the entry way and tried to stay inconspicuous. She watched people walk by, but they did not see her. She sighed as a plethora of people passed by, but no sign of Conan or Gin. She found herself pushing herself into the shadows when Vodka walked by holding a small pistol.

He looked nervous, Ai thought watching him continually check his watch. Ai wondered why he was not with Gin, she made sure by looking around briefly. Suddenly a few police officers came out and shouted "Freeze!"

Ai whipped around and saw that the officers were pointing their guns at Vodka. Vodka seemed caught off guard and looked about wildly before one of the officers asked "Where is Conan?"

Ai paled "What did they ask?" she thought, thinking she might have hear wrong. Vodka did not answer but took off running with the officers close behind. Ai followed and watched asVodka was cornered by the officers.

Vodka looked at the officers and seemed to sigh and in one smooth motion raised the gun to his head and fired. The officers cringed back as Ai did as she saw the blood spatter into the adjoining wall.

The officers backed away and said "We better tell Meguire we need to find that other kidnapper..." Ai heard that and knew if the officers got involved it could be bad. "It's a good thing that anonymous tipper told us about those two guys" one said smiling.

Ai ran into the other room and walked over to a well dressed gentleman. She poked his leg and waited for his reaction. The man looked down and smiled a very familiar smile. "Hey little lady what's up?" the man who was the disguised Kaitou Kid asked.

"There are three officers who know, you need to distract them" she stated motioning to the officers.

Kaitou looked over and smirked "Just go tell them that you saw Kaitou Kid stealing a gem in the other room, I will handle the rest."

Ai nodded and put on an innocent face, walking over to the officers. "Sir!" I saw Kaitou Kid in that room and he was stealing something" she said childishly. The officers immediately ran to the other room and saw the Kid twirling a gem loosely.

"Sorry officers" he said throwing a sleep gas bomb. The officers were caught off guard and almost immediately dropped off into unconsciousness. Kaitou dragged them into a nearby closet and hid them. He gave Ai an thumbs up and vanished.

Ai sighed "It's up to you now Heiji." she said quietly.

Conan and Gin watched silently, one nervous, the other excited. Gin smirked as he saw a familiar white hang glider beginning its escape. Conan knew that he could not do it "I won't" he said quietly.

"What?!" Gin roared his eyes going cold.

"You heard me" Conan said looking at Gin with hard eyes.

"Fine!" You had your chance" Gin shouted slamming his pistol into Conan's face sending him falling to the ground. Gin pointed the gun at Conan who looked up weakly. "No!" Heiji suddenly shouted, leaping from his hiding place to tackle Gin.

Gin fell to the ground and dropped his pistol. He then ran over to Conan "Are you okay?" he asked but saw Conan look behind him with wide, terrified eyes. He felt a searing pain graze his shoulder and turned to see Gin holding another pistol.

He cocked his gun and smiled maniacally. His eyes were far and distant, but they glowed with an inner evil that would scare any sane person. He was about to pull the trigger when he felt a pressure against the back of is head.

"Hello Gin" A smooth voice said prompting a quick response from Gin.

"Vermouth" he growled under his breath. He heard the gun click signifying its readiness to fire.

"The boss isn't happy with you...Vodka killed himself, the police are on your tail" she put pressure on the trigger. "Oh and one more thing...you should know better then to keep a secret from me" she then pulled the trigger. Conan's and Heiji's eyes widened as they watched all life flee from Gin's prone form.

Vermouth grabbed a small device from Gin's pocket and hefted it to Conan. He caught it ofut of instinct and looked up at her. "That is the only thing that can track you" she said, then vanished down the stair way.

Conan hid the device in his pocket and turned to Heiji "Are you okay" he asked.

Heiji smirked in response "He only grazed me" he announce proudly. "We better go find Ai" he said adding that as an afterthought.

Conan smiled "Okay" they both walked down the stairs together to find Ai.
