Hey guys! It's here and it's even a little earlier than I expected. So I know that I didn't update for forever, but I know there has to be someone out there reading this, right? I hope so. Leave some reviews so that I know if you like it or not. I welcome any kind of comment soooo general comments, constructive criticism, um I'll even take suggestions if they work into the story.
I don't own this obviously. It still says on the top left hand corner of this site, but let me know if that changes.
It took a while for us to get in touch with everyone essential to taking out the organization. Jodie, the CIA, and FBI should be there within the hour. Inspectors Megure and Hattori were on standby with strict instructions not to inform anyone of anything yet, in case there were still members in the force, but to be ready when he was needed.
I also called my parents and asked them not to come rushing back yet, and that we had a lead but nothing was definite yet. I wanted to play it safe and try to keep them out of the way. Kaito called his mother and Jii and told them the same.
"So this 's really it? 'R we really gonna do this?" He wasn't really asking a question so much as thinking out loud.
"Well duh. We can't get this kind of lead and not follow it through can we? Sometimes I wonder about you detectives, picking and choosing what leads to follow rather than chasing them all down without a bit of hesitation."
"Oi oi, Kaito if that was the way we worked, would we know who you are right now? Would we be helping you or throwing you in a cell right about now?"
I knew he was just trying to bait Hattori, but what can you expect? We detectives can be very prideful beings.
"Is that a challenge Tantei-san? If so, I will be taking you up on it as soon as we rid this world of the organization."
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Just then the door bell and once again Kaito was on edge. He didn't like the idea of working with the FBI or CIA any more than he liked the word fish, but he wasn't going to let them know it. Agasa opened the door to reveal Jodie, James, and two others that I recognize minimally as a couple of acquaintances of my dad.
"Ah, Cool Guy! So glad to see that everyone is alive and well, right?"
I gave a passing glance at Kaito and determined him to be much better after taking Haibara's miracle antibiotic, before turning back to Jodie and giving her a reassuring nod.
"Good, seeing as how we don't want to be too suspicious, James and myself will be the only one's here from the FBI, and the CIA has only two people coming as well. We will take the plan back to our groups and go over every detail with a fine toothed comb."
Kaito relaxed a little knowing that he was only going to be stuck in a room with four people who wanted him behind bars. I lead them into the sitting area of Agasa's house, were I sat on one end of a couch, Hattori on the other, and Kaito quickly jumping between us so he wouldn't end up sitting next to any of the agents. Nakamori, who had just emerged from the kitchen were Agasa had come from only moment before took up recliner in the corner, while all the agents filled the remaining couch opposite of us.
"Kudo-kun, as much as I would like to stay, I'll be in the basement with Haibara-kun. Let me know if you guys need anything. Oh, and Ayumi may be coming by. She left some of her stuff in my car when we went camping. It is on the bar, if you would give it to her when she gets here I would appreciate it."
With that Agasa left without another word. True to his word, he probably would have liked to stay except he knew that he wouldn't like what he was going to hear.
"So, does anyone have a plan?" James was the first to speak.
No one answered as we all glanced around at each other waiting for someone else to speak.
"Cool Guy, we can't do much to start the plan because we have not seen our entrance. You four have."
"The reason none of the boys spoke out immediately I'm sure is because they haven't come up with a plan for the situation yet. Am I right?" Nakamori looked towards us. We all ducked our heads like we'd been beaten already.
"No offense, but from everything I have heard of Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, and Kaito Kid, I'm assuming that is who you are, I am surprised that none of you have anything to say at all…" This time it was one of the CIA agents. I believe when she showed their name badges earlier hers said she was Jordan and her partner was Andrew.
"We were given information on a single way in by a member of the organization. We do not know the locations of any of their other exits. The entrance shown to us is an underground hallway with no cover or exits of any kind. Once we enter that hallway, we are pretty much trapped until whatever happens, well happens."
I'd taken a lot of time to think about this fact since we arrived at Agasa's and it appeared that everyone else had as well, but no one had any ideas.
"On top of wha' Kudo said, ther's no way tha' all of us could get down tha' hallway at once. It is small so 't can easily be concealed. We need th' other entrances ta be able ta do thi' at least a little sensibly…"
It was silent for a few moments until there was another knock at the door. I got up to retrieve the items Agasa told me about before going to the door.
"Ah, who are you? Where is the professor? You look a lot like Conan-kun." A look of sadness and maybe something else flashed in her eyes. Agasa must have told them that Conan was 'leaving'.
"I'm Kudo Shinichi. Agasa is busy right now but he told me to give these to you." I handed her a small bag containing some clothes, a brush, and a few other small items.
"Oh, Shinichi-niisan really did answer the door. The blond lady told me that you might, but I told her you wouldn't because you were away on a big case and couldn't come home for a while."
Blond lady? Could it have been…Maybe…
"Ayumi-chan, can you tell me where the blond lady is now?"
"No, but she said if Shinichi-niisan opened the door to give him this note." She handed me a piece of paper neatly folded in half with the words 'Silver Bullet-Kun' on the front. My heart stopped for a minute. Did she decide to go ahead and take the girls, is she really setting us up?
I was brought back down to earth when Ayumi spoke. "She also told me to tell you not to worry because it isn't a trap. She was an odd lady. Well, I have to get home now. Bye Shinichi-niisan."
I went back into the living area unfolding the not as I went. I stared at it in shock.
