Detective Conan AU Curacao

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Alright we all know why we're here." Uehara took charge and she did not look happy as she looked at those gathered. The famous actress Chris Vineyard, a well known news announcer Rena Mizunashi, a tall darkly dressed man who introduced himself as Gado, a group of famous thieves, most of division one's homicide division, several other homicide detectives from various districts, Heiji and Kazuha, Ran and Kogoro and Eri, two famous adult detectives, Sera Masumi and a girl she called Mary, a woman who introduced herself as Jodie, two men that came with her, a guy from Conan's favorite café named Amuro, and some medical student named Okiya. As well as a couple that claimed to be Conan's parents which earned them narrowed eyes from half of the room.
"KID stole Conan." Fujiko Mine, of all people assembled, said and she looked furious. The rest of the Lupin gang were right beside her and none of them looked pleased. In fact no one in the room at the moment looked pleased although the couple that claimed to be Conan's parents seemed to be the least upset out of everyone. If anything they looked more surprised and shocked instead of angry or upset.
"There's been no word on what's going on, no sightings of where he is, no clue as to where he took Conan. We don't know what he's doing to Conan…or why he wanted Conan. But we're going to hunt him down and get our boy back." Kireina said and she was just as furious if not more so than Fujiko or Rena. After all she was Conan's 'Haha' and she had been standing right there when Conan was taken. Her baby boy had been taken from her literally right from under her nose!
"The flamboyant brat took a small child with him against the childs will. What do you think he wanted Conan for? A game of cards?" Gado demanded his voice dark and cold and he was checking his Beretta while Rena was idly twirling a knife between her fingers next to him, her smile fake and her eyes hollow as she thought of what could be happening to that sweet little boy…there was a dark miasma of killing intent surrounding her that meant she was anything but the kind news woman she acted like. Many were surprised to see that Conan somehow knew her but none of them said a word against her being there or asked about it. The boy seemed to know a lot of people that most children probably shouldn't or wouldn't normally know well enough for them to react like this.
Gado's words had the miasma of killing intent surrounding Rena pulsing and growing dangerously, as well as making more than a few people growl or look furious and radiate their own killing intent. Particularly Kireina, Chris Vineyard, Sato from division one, and the woman who claimed to be Conan's mother although hers was more muted than the others.
"Let's hunt this bastard down." Lupin said and he looked just as furious as the rest of them, his normally smiling face now a scowl as he cracked his knuckles. His gang gave viscous blood thirsty smiles that were copied by at least half of the room as they all agreed with the master thief.
It really said something when not a single cop in the room disagreed or made any move to arrest the infamous and internationally wanted thieves. That was just how focused and desperate they all were to save a certain little boy who they all seemed to revolve around.
"First thing we need to do is find where Kaito KID is likely to be at. His usual method of operation has him somewhere public to make a grand spectacle of it all but since he now has a hostage…he's likely to be somewhere more secluded and private. Somewhere most people wouldn't think of when they think Kaito KID." Kogoro said his eyes narrowed and he was trying to think of where exactly the infamous magician thief would have gone with the small boy that he pretended not to care much for but in reality worried about and loved as if the boy was his own son. After the boy had been stuck with them for so long he might as well be Kogoro's son.
"Somewhere secluded and private…something more like where a normal criminal would go rather than someone as flamboyant as Kaito KID." Detective Mogi said frowning and thinking about it as he lit a cigarette which had a few people take a step or two away from him.
"A warehouse is cliché and stereotypical…but that's one of the reasons why it's a good place for actual criminals to hide since no one expects them to follow the stereotypes." Gado threw out there casually and causing a few people to idly wonder how he knew that.
"Are we able to access any satellites in the area to try and get some eyes in the sky?" Jodie asked wondering if she could use her FBI connections to try and help find Conan-kun, although if James didn't stop her then she would gleefully abuse every single one of them. Conan was one of their silver bullets after all. One of the ones able to bring down the Organization.
"We don't have access to those kinds of things." Uehara reminded Jodie who looked at James who looked pensive for a moment.
"We should split up but stay in contact. We'll go sector by sector. Starting with the more cliched places that no one expects of Kaito KID. Warehouse districts, abandoned buildings, seedy areas. Places he's not usually associated with." Superintendent Kuroda himself was present as he gave the orders for that and went over to a map of the Nagano district.
"Hopefully KID stayed in this district so it's not a multidistrict manhunt. Because if he's decided to leave it for whatever reason then we don't know where he could be anymore." Kuroda said gravely and making everyone grimace.
"If you have underworld contacts or contacts within the area, no matter how legal or illegal, that could help use them. Any ideas are welcome as to where we can go or how we can narrow down the search at least a little bit." Kuroda said making Takagi blink for a moment before he opened his mouth.
"Why don't we-"
"If we had some kind of bug planted on KID we could track him using that." Shiratori spoke up earning sighs from the others.
"No one's ever gotten close enough to KID to ever get a bug on him. Not one that he doesn't use against them anyways." Jirokichi said scowling as he admitted that much.
"How about-" Again Takagi was interrupted.
"What about security cameras like the ones they installed on the traffic lights recently? We can use the traffic cams and security cameras to try and figure out which way KID has gone." Conan's mother spoke up with that idea making a few of them nod in agreement and Uehara immediately began trying to access the footage from one of the computers in the room.
"Why no-" Poor Takagi was starting to get annoyed at all the interruptions.
"We can put out an APB as well. Let people know that Conan was kidnapped and we might get a hit that way." Sera spoke up with that little gem earning a few murmurs of agreement.
"We cou-" Poor Takagi couldn't take much more of this.
"We could also use that KID fansite and fangirls against him. They can usually spot KID a mile away so if we keep an eye on them then they could lead us straight to him." Zenigata, and when had he gotten there?!, pointed out earning a few winces of sympathy from those who knew about the evils of fangirls but right now they were ready to pull out all of the stops.
"Or we co-" Takagi was cut off once again and he's had enough of it.
"I have a few conn-" This time Takagi cut someone else off.
"EXCUSE ME!" He yelled earning their attention as he cut Rena off causing Gado to give him an evil eyed glare as everyone turned towards Takagi.
"What!" MeGuire demanded looking annoyed and dismayed with his subordinates behavior.
"Am I the only one who remembers the Detective Boys?" Takagi demanded looking around at them all and making a few of them blink.
"The other kids? What about them Takagi-kun?" Sato asked frowning and looking curious as to what those kids could have to do with anything.
"They all have those badges right? The ones they use to communicate like walkie talkies. Doesn't Doctor Agase have a tracker built into each badge? Can't we just call him and have him pull up the location of Conan's badge and send it to us instead of wasting time trying to follow fangirls and scour traffic cam footage?" Takagi asked making everyone pause and blink for a moment before several people who had regular interaction with the kids face palmed at forgetting about the badges.
"Why didn't you say something earlier? Someone call that professor!" Kuroda demanded making Takagi glare around the room slightly.
"I was trying but every time I opened my mouth someone would interrupt me." Takagi said making those who interrupted him look sheepish and guilty.
"That's good and fine but if this doesn't help us find Conan then I'm going to give you a lesson on not interrupting Rena." Gado growled at Takagi dangerously and causing Rena to immediately try to sooth him a bit.
"Calm down dear. I interrupted him first and he's only trying to help everyone find Conan-kun before anything bad can happen to him. I don't mind at all." Rena quickly soothed Gado a bit as she placed her hand on his chest as if to keep him from going after the officer.
She was amazed when she felt Gado relax under her touch and then blushed a bit when he pulled her into his side with one arm.
"Fine. Only because you say so. Now what is anyone waiting for? Get that professor on the phone already!" Gado ordered but Ran had been dialing before he could even finish the sentence.
"Ah! Ai-chan! Listen is the professor around? Conan-kun has been taken by Kaito KID and we need to…yes. Yes…okay thank you!" Ran said looking relieved and causing everyone to glance at her for the update.
"Ai-chan was shown how to track the badges just in case the professor wasn't around during an emergency. She's locating Conan-kun's right now and will have his location in just a moment. She seems a bit put out that she wasn't told about him being kidnapped." Ran reported to the others making Heiji snort slightly.
"The little science nee-san? Considering the crush she has on the squirt I'm not surprised she's upset. I'm just amazed she isn't trying to get here herself to use KID in some of her tests and experiments." Heiji said with a small snicker at that and making Ran giggle as well.
"I thought I was the only one who thought Ai-chan liked Conan-kun…now we just have to see if Conan-kun likes her back! They'd make such a cute couple! The baby detective and the baby scientist." Ran said with a giggle while Kireina tried to hide her amused smile.
Looking at a few of the others like Conan's mother, the Lupin gang, and one or two others like Mary and Sera…they all knew the truth that no one else in the room was privy too. Conan and Ai weren't 'babies' at all. He was seventeen years old and shrunk to a six year old, and she was eighteen years old and shrunk to a six year old.
Neither of them were babies and instead both of them were nearly adults.
But they were still a cute couple.
"Ah! Okay! Yes that would be most helpful. Thank you Ai-chan! Yes…yes…don't worry we'll bring him home safely. He'll be home safe and sound soon where you can keep an eye on him. Alright…if you say so…bye!" Ran said giggling a bit at the end and then hanging up the phone.
"Ai-chan is sending me the location and data directly to my phone in a picture message which includes a map of the Nagano district so we can get there faster. It'll come through in just a moment." Ran said making them all sigh in relief. Soon they'd be able to hunt down KID and save Conan-kun from whatever torment he was going through at the thief's hands.
KID should have known better than to take their little detective.
None of them knew that at this moment KID was cursing out Conan as the shrunken detective won the game of poker they had been playing.
