Thirty Eighth Chapter
Please enjoy !
It was a new day … he had an awful feeling about it … for some reason he couldn't figure
He was sitting in his bedroom reading a Holmes novel … the valley of fear perhaps … just to fill his time in a very long summer day … he didn't have friends and he had nothing to do … he often goes out with his parents to watch a movie … he went with his father few times on investigation … his mother wouldn't easily let him but he could convince her every time … he had his own name in The states … he has solved many cases that were more horrifying than the ones he solved in Japan … he went to magical shows … dragged by Kaito every time …. Kaito visited him whenever he could … it's summer and he was expecting a visit … but yet he didn't show his face …
Kaito hasn't showed up for more than two months and this was enough to make him worried … no calls … no emails … no kid heists too … where on earth is this Kaito ? … He didn't reply to none of his calls and e-mails … this is what made him feel truly worried …
The door bell suddenly rang … he hurried to open it …. Could it be him? … Both his parents left to somewhere he didn't care to remember … who would visit us except him? … it's surely him
Shinichi opened the door to find a women standing before his eyes … an old women with white hair who would be at the same age as his grandmother … she had a smile on her face and a letter in her hands … she gave it to him and she asked him a stupid question of "are you the grandson of my dear John ?" and he replied her with a plain tone " he had surely given you a wrong address, no john lives here" and then she left.
He closed the door … this kind of way to send me a letter is surely stupid Kaito … he jumped into the sofa and opened the letter and read.
Kudo-kun
You're surely thinking it's a weird not to say stupid way to send a letter but I had to…
I would come to see you but I had some work to do … a dangerous one … and some people are spying on me…
I had my mother get properly dressed to deliver you this letter … there are surely spying on my phone , my computer and my letters … so I employed a special agent (kid smirk)
Kudo-kun … I've got closer to avenge my father's death … that's why I'm even busier than usual …
It's coming closer … I'm even more nervous with every minute …. But I have to do it … whatever it costs me
If I haven't called you in two days … this would mean that I'm pretty far away from this world and thus … please keep an eye on my mother … there will be another letter delivered to you later by the very same women … this one is meant to be delivered to the one you know … the one I loved truly … Aoko Nakamori …
You need to be truly secretive Kudo-kun … don't tell a living soul about it … they may be everywhere … they are actually everywhere … be secretive … it's truly important … I need to do it … I need to avenge my father's death … no one knows except you … neither my mother nor any living soul beside you …
Thank you for being a good friend of mine …
Goodbye
"What are doing Kaito? …" he thought … how could he stand watching from behind the scenes? … What if anything happens to him … to his friend? … Maybe I should go to there … maybe I should be with him … maybe … but I will need some time to get there … maybe I should call someone to watch him … what is he thinking … to go alone to get those guys … Hakuba-kun … maybe I should call him … he's the one interested in those guys .. . Kaito said so … this means … maybe I should call him … I wouldn't let him get hurt … I'd not let them take any more innocents … dialing shiho's number …
Hello
Shinichi
Hakuba-kun …
Saguru
Kudo-kun …
Shinichi
I thought it was Shiho's …
Saguru
Yes it is … but she's kind of ill and she can't reply …
Shinichi
The sound is echoing … someone is spying on my phone…I was calling her to get your number after all … how are you ?
Saguru
I'm fine … thanks for asking …
Shinichi
So you're in England ? …
Saguru
Yes … I was planning to go to Japan next week but … Shiho was ill and I couldn't let her here …
Shinichi
I was intending to have a little party in my house … thinking to invite you
Saguru
I'm truly sorry … I won't be able to make it …
Shinichi
That's too bad … you said Shiho-san was ill … is she alright?
Saguru
Yes … it's a mere flu … but I fear it worsens
Shinichi
Hope she gets better soon … goodbye
Saguru
Goodbye ..
They're spying on my phone … I couldn't tell him … he won't be in Japan … I can't go myself there … but Kaito … Kaito … will you be alright ?
England … At hakuba's appartement
Shiho was ying on the couch … Saguru entered carrying a bol of soup in his hands
Saguru
Shiho … are feeling any better ?
Shiho
I'm still feeling dizzy but … I'm better
Saguru
You'll get better as soon as you eat this ….
Shiho
Thank you … my cell rang right ?
Saguru
Yes … kudo-kun called you
Shiho
Really ? … what's with him ?
Saguru
Something weird in fact … he called to get my number from you …. He said he wanted to invit us to some party
Shiho
…. What's weird about it ?
Saguru
I don't know … he wanted to tell me something else probably…. But
Shiho
But what … ?
Saguru
I heard echoing when I spoke with him …. Maybe he wanted to tell me something but ….
Shiho
He feared those who are spying on him would hear it ….
Saguru
Maybe it's something dangerous … what should we do ?
Shiho
He asked you about me ?
Saguru
Yes … I told him that you had flu
Shiho
Good ….
Saguru
I truly wanted to tell him but …
Shiho
He'll know soon or later …
Saguru
Now we need to focus on what Kudo-kun wanted to tell …
Shiho
Let's send him a letter … we'd bet with our lives but …
Saguru
I'll do it right away … that's brilliant …
