Fed up with the drama that was going on at the table clearly the two of them had a falling out and it was most likely over a girl and she really did not want to get into this again. So that would probably be " No " to football and would be another but not actually happen and she could use this time to just chat anyway.
Shinichi was currently on her laptop having a web chat with Kaito because she did not have her mobile and it was the only way she could think to contact him.
" So how was the Heist ? " said Shinichi.
" It was great but not as great as the last one when you were there " said Kaito.
Shinichi just rolled her eyes.
" Hey I saw that " said Kaito.
" I know that you did " said Shinichi dully.
Shinichi just yawned.
" You are tired maybe you should get some more sleep...Wait shouldn't you be in school by now ? " said Kaito.
Shinichi just nodded.
And then she started to pace the room and then sit on the bed.
" Don't tell me that you got kidnapped or there was a murder again or both! " said Kaito chuckling.
Shinichi`s eye just twitched.
" Shin-Chan you can't take you anywhere without something happening. So who was your kidnapper this time ? Because I am thinking celebrity stalker fan or crazy ex or something like that " said Kaito.
'Crazy ex ? Well for all I know she could have been' thought Shinichi.
" Why are you smiling ? " said Kaito pouting.
But her face was now serious and he sat up straight.
" I need you to go on Haibara`s old computer and find out if there is anything about what exactly sleeping gas will do to me and how it affects me. If there is any information at all " said Shinichi.
Kaito was now pale white.
" Are you ok ? " said Kaito.
" I am fine and everything is fine there is no danger " said Shinichi reassuringly.
" Shin-Chan the last time you were sprayed with that you were comatose for two days " said Kaito.
He was still feeling guilty when he sprayed on her at one of his Heist and he was meant that knock out Hakuba but Nakamori came busting in with the Task Force. And he had to use it to get away from all of them or he would end up being caught or squashed to death by a pile up of Task Force members.
" I know that but it is not like it was my fault and that was just a couple days after I got the cure. Plus, I don't think it is anything to worry about " said Shinichi.
" So, who sprayed and kidnapped you this time ? " said Kaito.
Shinichi was now pale white.
" Shin-Chan ? " said Kaito.
" It was Vermouth " said Shinichi.
And the sound of the name sent a shiver down both their spines.
" Tell me everything " said Kaito.
Shinichi put her hand out gesturing to wait a minute while she was yawning but he watched as she just fell back to sleep on the ground.
" Shin-Chan wake up! " said Kaito over and over again.
But she was not waking up and the volume was low so she barely hears what he was saying because she had accidentally hit the volume key.
" Shinichi can we talk for a minute ? "
He jumped startled at the voice that he had just heard and it was as if it came from nowhere and he did not even hear a single sound or anything from the person. He did nothing but watch the person that was beside Shinichi and he did not like it one bit.
" Oi wake up sleepy head " said Dick Grayson.
" Hmph " said Shinichi as she stirred herself awake.
'Crap' she thought as she realized that she fell asleep.
So maybe the sleeping bomb and maybe that gas she was also sprayed with as well was going to affect her after all. And then she felt a hand on her head when she opened her eyes she could see that he was taking her temperature and it was easy to see that he knew more than the common person first aid and medical situations.
" Well you do not have a temperature and your pulse feels fine but maybe you should see a doctor, you are looking a bit pale and look a bit weak " said Dick Grayson.
And then she realized just how close he was to her and she flushed instantly and tried to back away but just hit her back on the bed.
" Ouch " she reacted in pain.
" Let me help you up " said Dick Grayson as he stood up and put his hand out.
She clutched onto the back of her head and grabbed onto his hand as he helped her up as he pulled her up with one hand.
*Cough*
" Oh Kaito ... sorry " said Shinichi.
And she stepped forward to the laptop smiling.
" I think that is more than enough chatting I want to know what that loud noise was " said Bruce.
And he made the three of them jump.
With Kaito falling out of his seat and crashing to the ground and bringing his laptop with him disconnecting the call.
"...? " said Shinichi as she just stared at the screen.
And the laptop screen was pushed down.
" Tell me what is going on in here " said Bruce angrily.
Shinichi just raised her eyebrow confused and scratched her head.
" She collapsed on the ground while she was talking to her friend and I just came to check on her and that is all " said Dick Grayson neutrally.
And Shinichi started to fall back asleep again.
" Can you two have your cat fight somewhere else... I am tired and I want to go back to sleep, please! " said Shinichi.
" She should see a Doctor " said Dick.
Dick Grayson just left the room.
And when she was about to fall asleep standing she felt a strong hand on her shoulder frightening her.
" You can go back to bed but I want you to see a Doctor in case that you were given something that you should have not been or ingested a lethal toxin " said Bruce.
" It was just a sleeping bomb...and sleeping gas, mixed to together they are bound to affect me for a while " said Shinichi.
" And how do you know this to be true ? " said Bruce.
" Well it is not the first time that she has kidnapped me or used the exact same sleeping bomb on me " said Shinichi calmly.
" What kind of danger are in you in ? In need to know so I can protect you and take care of you " said Bruce.
She blinked.
She was not really sure what she could tell him or even if she would believe what she had to say.
" It is a very long story " said Shinichi.
" Fine you can tell me after you have had some rest " said Bruce.
" Ok ? " said Shinichi.
And then she was handed a box.
" It is another phone try not to lose this one and it has an emergency button app in case you get yourself into any danger and I will know where to find you " said Bruce.
She opened the box to see that it was the latest phone and it was one that was not even out yet for at least another three months. Just how rich was this guy ?
And when she looked back up he was gone and the door was closed, and she did not even notice that he had vanished.
'Ok ?' she thought.
Everyone in this house was able to move about without even making a single noise and they were able to do it on the same level as her boyfriend and just maybe even better than him. And it was second nature to all of them and they did not even realize that they were actually doing it when they do it. And she and Kaito did not even hear them coming into her bedroom and she did not sense any of them.
" Crap ! " she said.
She had completely forgotten about Kaito and the little interruption that they had again when she was talking to him and lately that seemed like that had happened a lot.
She lifted the laptop screen but he was not there and he had logged off but he had left a message for her saying that he would get back to her in a couple of hours with the information that she needed.
She yawned and then went back to sleep.
He was currently in the Bat Cave looking at the hair sample that he was able to procure and he was currently looking under a microscope and he could not believe of what he was seeing.
" That is impossible " he said as he looked again and again.
It was impossible but he it was the genuine deal and he was going to have to do more tests to make sure that this was real and what it actually meant. But he was not going to tell Bruce this just yet because he had no idea what he would do with something like this and what he would do with her.
" So, what did you find out when you took the hair sample from her pillow ? And you did not even think that I would notice how foolish of you " said Bruce.
He tightened his fist angrily.
" You knew and you wanted me to be the one to do the actual tests so that you would not have to and you would not be the bad guy in this. But you are because you just manipulated and lied in wait like you always do " said Dick.
Bruce just took the sample and looked at it through the microscope and looked at the information that was written down.
" Impossible ? " he said.
Her hair example should that her hair was younger than she was supposed to be and that her hair was the age of an eight-year-old and it looked like it was still aging even when it was not in her head.
" What is she ? " said Bruce out loud trying to think.
" A person " said Dick.
Bruce put the sample down.
" You know that is not what I meant " said Bruce.
He took the hair sample and he then began to run more tests but the hair sample had to be destroyed on one of the tests. But he was able to do enough tests to know that there was an unknown biological and chemical substance involved in this and it was slowly going away on time. Well that is what is seemed from the first few tests but because of his advanced tests and technology he was able to see that there was something else happening.
And he had a feeling that she already knew a lot about this and so did other people even her enemies knew about it and they were likely the ones responsible for it. And he was angry and disappointed that he was not told about any of this because he could have been of a great help to her and been there for her. But he had not been there for her like he should have as a Father but he could have helped her as Batman and she would never have needed to know.
He had to do more tests to help her and he had to get a blood sample from her to do some tests and to see what that woman Vermouth was talking about. And what was wrong with her blood and to see what Shinichi was actually hiding from him and what kind of APTX was used on her. He was told by Akai Shuichi had she was force fed an experimental poison called APTX 4860 and that it was meant to kill her because it did to others. But she was not one of the people that died from it, but there was a side effect because of it and she had been cured. But she was the only one left remained alive from the experiment, but he was not told what the side effect was. And that would be best coming from her and not from him because it was her secret and it was not his to share, like his secret was not for him to share with anyone.
Akai Shuichi a man that he really had thought was and had been murdered by one of his own enemies because that was the way that both of them would likely to die and even made a joke about it. He smiled and laughed just thinking about it of how he had been fooled just like everyone else had and still was. It was the perfect cover up and if he wanted to know how it was done for sure then he would have to go there in person to get the evidence. But he thought of how he would do it and other ways that it could be done and there was likely to one way that it was done in such a short window. And he had done it on multiple occasions but he had the necessary time and planning to do it.
He was impressed by this and he really did not know that she was this smart and that great of a Detective at such a young age and she deserved to be called 'The Detective of the East'. He hated to admit it but she was born to be a Detective because it was in her blood and he became a Detective for other reasons, but she was doing it because she loved it and it was a great passion of hers. And he could not take this away from her anymore because it was a big part of her and it was who she was. But there was certainly something that he could do to help to make sure that she would not get in so much danger as she did before. But one thing was for sure that he did not want her to be involved with his Detective work because this was certainly something that he did not want to pass onto her.
Now how was he going to get a blood sample without making her suspicious ?
Or even more suspicious of him because he could already see that she was suspicious of all of them and she was keeping an eye on them and monitoring their behaviour since she came back from the kidnapping.
