Ran sighed for what must have been the umpteenth time as she gazed out the window. She couldn't keep her mind on the lesson, too worried about Shinichi, Chuei, and the rest of this whole complicated situation. And there was also that feeling she'd had since this morning. The feeling that something was wrong…

She felt something poke her back, and turned slightly to see Sonoko looking at her with a worried expression. What's wrong? The blonde seemed to ask, before mouthing, Is it about your husband? Ran's blush was answer enough.

Suddenly, a bell rung out, the shrill tone of the fire alarm startling in the (for the most part) silence. "Straight and orderly line, please!" Jodie-sensei shouted to be heard above the screeching alarm as she herded the teens towards the door.

The hallways were packed with students being led by their teachers to the designated exits. The foreboding feeling Ran had at least doubled, and she shivered involuntarily.

"Miaka-Ran-chan?" Sonoko asked, noticing her friend's movement. "Are you all right?"

"Something feels off," Ran replied softly as the students marched en masse to a safe distance away from the school. Something's going to happen, she thought, suddenly extremely aware of how vulnerable they were out in the open.


"All right, we'll be moving on to geography now," Kobayashi-sensei told the class. As the students started to put away their math books, Ai stiffened, a frightened look passing over her face before her expression was carefully schooled blank.

"Haibara? Are you all right?" Shinichi asked in a low voice, having noticed her behavior.

"I-I can feel a Seiryuu seishi nearby," the blonde replied softly, slightly shivering.

"Ai-chan? Are you okay?" Ayumi asked her friend worriedly.

"Ai-san?" Mitsuhiko laid a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm alright; just cold is all," Ai told them. As the shrunken scientist assured the others she was fine, Shinichi was deep in thought.

If she felt that, then there's a good chance it's an Organization member as well. The chibi tantei's frown deepened, a feeling of dread settling over him. He gazed out the window, sapphire eyes suddenly old. Be safe, Miaka.


"So you're both a part of this seishi thing like Wataru is?" Sato inquired as she took the spot of driver in the car as they drove to the first of the crime scenes. "And the people who are being killed, they're part of this big conspiracy thing that you have no clues about the motive of?"

After Takagi had assured that, no, he was not dreaming, nor were either Shiratori or Chiba KID in disguise, he had told them in no uncertain terms that Miwako would have to be told, seeing as she already knew about his ability, and she had already had her own suspicions as to the recent strange activites of her coworkers.

"Of course, I do have inside information with Yumi," Miwako winked at Chiba, who blushed. Just then, Shiratori's phone rang.

"Shiratori," the curly-haired officer answered. "Megure-keibu?" His eyes widened. "Got it." He hung up. "Sato-san,turn us back around!"

"Okey-doke!" Miwako grinned somewhat recklessly.

Takagi paled. "Ah, no, wait-"

With a twist of the wheel, Sato made a sharp U-turn, something which made all the other car's occupants' stomachs flip.

"I told you," Takagi muttered, regaining his sense of a direction after a moment.

"That is the last time I am driving with your girlfriend," Chiba declared, his face pale.

Miwako blushed as Wataru groaned before the latter turned to Shiratori. "What did Megure-keibu say?"

"There've been reports of gunfire outside of Teitan High School," Shiratori replied grimly.

I hope Ran-san is safe, Takagi thought even as Miwako turned on the sirens and pressed the accelerator.


A/N: SG-chan is baaack! XD Sorry I haven't updated this story in so long, mainly because I lost the notebook I was writing this story in ^^;;; I also kinda got distracted by some of my other stories -_-;; But fear not, SG-chan found her notebook, is going to finish writing UoFT, and nothing will be able to stop her! *heroic pose*

Seriously, though, I am really sorry to those of you who have been waiting for an update. I'm not very good at updating regularly in the first place, so you're just going to have to be patient a little longer. SG-chan is not abandoning UoFT, or any of her other stories. She just gets distracted by RL sometimes ^^; Remember to review, if you would be so kind! ^_^

Preview: "Do you suppose something happened?" Ran asked Sonoko, who shrugged.
