Detective Conan AU Curacao

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Conan-kun? Are you okay?" Ayumi asked when she dove into the water and swam over to the boy no more than two minutes after he had heard the tape. Conan shook his head slightly in the negative making Ayumi frown.
"Ayumi-san." Conan's first words since his self imposed silence were cold as he looked at the girl who perked up a bit at hearing him speak.
"Get the rest of the Detective Boys. We need to have a meeting. Now." Conan ordered making Ayumi frown but nod slowly as she swam off to the others.
"Pardon me. I need to deal with something." Conan said to his parental figures as he climbed out of the water as best as he could at the moment, nodding in thanks to Rena when she picked him up gently and set him on the grass.
"What's up Conan-kun? You almost never call a meeting." Mitsuhiko asked as he stared at Conan who stared them all down calmly and coldly.
"I won't give you context right now…but choose your sides. Genta-san…or me." Conan said making them look confused and shocked.
"Choose sides?" Mitsuhiko asked making Conan nod his head once.
"Conan-kun you're scaring me." Ayumi said as she hid over by Genta.
"Knock it off ya little snob! You're scaring Ayumi-chan and not making any sense!" Genta said angrily but he was sweating pretty hard for someone who had been swimming in the water recently.
"Conan-kun what's going on? Why are you making us decide between the smartest member of the Detective Boys and the biggest?" Mitsuhiko asked while Haibara wasted no time at all in walking over to Conan's side.
"I've trusted you with my life Edogawa-kun. I trust you now." Haibara said without hesitation as she stared at Conan who gave her a small thankful smile.
"Ayumi-san has chosen Kojima-san. Choose who you side with Mitsuhiko-san." Conan said coldly and making the boy recoil a bit while Genta gaped at the use of his family name.
"I don't know what's gotten into you Conan-kun but whatever it is isn't right. I'm on Genta's side." Mitsuhiko said backing away from Conan and towards the bigger boy.
"I figured this would happen. Just remember I gave you both a chance to choose your sides and it's too late to change your minds now. Here. You want to know what this is about? Play this." Conan said handing the recorder to Haibara who blinked for a second at the note before her eyes narrowed. She hit the play button and then the damning evidence was revealed for everyone to hear, causing there to be horrified and shocked gasps from some of those present while the rest just looked stunned. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were shaking their heads in disbelief while Genta was as pale as a ghost.
"Genta-kun…you…you paid that bully to attack Conan-kun?" Ayumi asked in shock as she stared up at the bigger boy who began to vehemently shake his head in the negative.
"I-I'm innocent! I'm being set up!" Genta tried to claim while Mitsuhiko looked horrified.
"But…you always get upset and angry when people say that Conan-kun is the leader of the Detective Boys. You're always trying to one up him or claim that you taught him things you didn't even know. You…You always say that you're the real leader of the Detective Boys…" Mitsuhiko trailed off when he noticed how angry Genta looked at that information.
"So what? Just cause I am telling the truth about being the rightful leader of the Detective Boys doesn't mean I did anything! Aside from this do you have any proof? Any concrete proof to show I did anything!?" Genta demanded angrily. Conan held his hand out towards Kid who silently placed a video camera in his hand. Pressing the play button it was time stamped and dated to the day before Conan was attacked at the school by the bully, and there was even audio of what was being said.
Genta was able to be clearly seen in the video.
"Genta-kun…" Kireina looked very disappointed in the boy who flinched and stared at her wide eyed.
"I'm disappointed in you. I thought you were a nice boy who had a tough exterior or a hard time showing emotions properly…but…after learning about this…" Kireina said shaking her head and looking upset with Genta.
"Why? Why does everyone listen and pick that arrogant little snob over us?! We've been doing this longer but no one took us seriously until he came around! No one ever credits us or listens when Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and I say something but as soon as he says something everyone falls over themselves to listen and obey! He doesn't deserve to be in the Detective Boys since he never does anything with or for us!" Genta snarled not even noticing that he was admitting to the fact that he had indeed paid the bully to attack Conan which had led to his current state.
"Have you forgotten that Conan solves all of the mysteries that we're involved with minus a few glaring exceptions that are only because he didn't think the crook could be so childish? Have you forgotten that the Detective Boys as a group get acknowledged even if Conan is the only one who actually does the detective work? What about the fact that every time you three point something out it turns out to be something small and trivial or something that the adults don't pay attention to because they don't see how it matters to the case, whereas Conan points it out in a way they understand as being relevant to the case? The reason everyone 'falls over themselves to listen and obey' is because he's proven time and again that he knows what he's talking about, what he talks about is important, and that he's just as willing to go into the field as the officers are and put his life on the line just like they do. You're right, he doesn't deserve to be in the Detective Boys…" Haibara blew up on Genta at that time as she glared at him and then trailed off while he looked victorious.
"He deserves better than to be lumped in with you at the least." Haibara sneered at Genta who growled angrily even if he was scared.
"Why you snobby little-" Genta made a move as if to grab Haibara but she grabbed his wrist hard first and twisted it just enough that he felt the pain she could inflict on him.
"Touch me and you die, and no one will prove I had anything to do with it. Touch Conan again and you die painfully and no one can prove I had anything to do with it." Haibara said coldly and seriously, making Genta eep and back down at her being scary again.
"As of right now, you can consider Conan and I both as no longer being part of the Detective Boys. While I won't say anything about you three keeping the flashlight watches and the badges with the radios in them, just know that I will be informing Dr. Agase of what you've done and how you two picked Kojima-san's side in this whole affair. Don't expect him to make anymore games for you to try or anymore gadgets to help with your mediocre detective work. You three can even keep the name Detective Boys. It just will no longer include us. Now excuse my partner and I as we go and talk Irregulars business." Haibara said taking off her Detective Boys badge and dropping it in the dirt before she grabbed Conan's good hand and marched back over towards Gin and Rena and Kireina.
She would hear nothing more from them on the subject. That was it, things were done and said that couldn't be taken back at all.
The Detective Boys were down two members and the Irregulars had started up.
