I really felt like writing this part, it's getting interesting!

I'm sorry that his recovery really dragged, I was kind of stuck on it.

But without any further delay, let's begin this chapter!

Heiji was sitting beside Conan in a panic, he decided that this was a bit too much for a cold and that he must take him to a hospital. Conan was sweating a lot and he was very pale but hot at the same time. Heiji remembered how he caught Conan when he fell all of a sudden.

Just when he was about to call the hospital, Conan woke up.

"Kudo! You're awake?"

"Y-yeah." He answered in a quiet rusty voice as he slowly sat up. "Did you tell Ran?"

"No. I'm going to take ya to the hospital, just wait."

"No Hattori, don't."

"Why?"

"T-this feels like the Apotoxin." He answered huffing.

"A-apotoxin?!"

"Slightly different though." He closed his right eye as he clutched his hand at his heart tightly.

"Oi Kudo! Shall I call that little scientist?"

"Ye- Aaaaaaaaaaah!" Conan screamed in pain as he huffed and puffed, but nothing happened. He collapsed back into the sofa that he was lying in.

"Kudo!"

"I'm fine, just bring Haibara. I want her to take my blood."

Haibara arrived at hearing the news, it was something unusual. She was worried that this was some new side effect from the drug. She took a blood sample from him and gave him one strange look.

"You didn't take a pill without my permission, did you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No I didn't, plus this feels slightly *cough* different."

"What do you mean?"

"I have symptoms of a cold but also very strange stomach pain."

"You may have digested something that triggered your body like the Apotoxin, just not enough to change your body size."

"I can't but hope feel like this is something different."

"I will call you back when I finish testing, I will also need your saliva if my assumption is true."

Haibara left the dying looking child with Heiji while she wanted to test his blood and saliva. Conan was sweating again and his fever went up, Heiji had no idea what to do. He was screaming in pain and now his stomach was burning. He vomited quite a few times and Heiji now was persistent to take him to the hospital.

"Hattori, listen. *huff* What if it turns out to be the apotoxin, this will cause us many problems."

"I know that but ... this is different. Ya vomiting like crazy and-"

Conan coughed blood and without a breath, he vomited more.

"Kudo! I don't care what ya say! Yar health is more important!"

Heiji rushed to change Conan's clothes when he realized that he had nothing to change him into. He took off the child's clothes and wrapped him in some light blanket, wondering if Conan was always this light. Without a second to delay, he rushed him to the hospital.

Nurses took Conan away and a doctor was called right away. It was shocking how a child can return to a hospital this fast after a long recovery. Heiji was asked many questions as he tried to keep his family away from this. At the end, Heiji was informed that Conan was poisoned. They found some toxins in his stomach and advised to keep him in the hospital for at least a week. Heiji was stressed and worried.

Just how is this possible? I need to investigate this before anything else happens.

After investigating (without making Ran that suspicious) he found out that they visited Poirot Cafe the day before he fell ill. He informed Amuoro and found out that the cup he drank from had traces of poison.

"What did ya do?!" Heiji explained holding Amouro's shirt.

"Listen, I wouldn't tell you if I did it, would I?"

"Tsk!" -Letting him go.

"I wouldn't have had a motive either."

"Wari wari, I need to find who did this quickly, before things get worse."

"I understand, but the poison was not originally on the cup straw or drink. It was transferred onto it."

"Ya mean..."

"Yes, the poison was on Conan's hands. Someone was probably on his watch for a while and was cautious enough to be able to place poison on his hands."

"We would need the police to investigate this before the culprit erases any evidence," he said taking a moment, "how do ya know that?"

"There was no one beside them at the time, so I watched them as they ate. Conan was acting a little light-headed, he did not even know the day when Ran told him it was Friday. I was a little suspicious, so when I came to put away their drinks, I came to realize that there was something unusual about the straw. I had it examined on the day."

"Ok, thanks."

Still investigating with the police, Heiji discovered that the chair that Conan sat on had poison on it. This made things really complicated as this meant that Conan was not targeted. Even if he was, who guaranteed he would sit on that chair. After more research, they figured that Ran and Conan usually reserved that table. This was only proof of Amouro's assumption. Conan was now his target once again.

Oh no!

What a disaster!

You have to read more to find out! ;)

Hope this chapter was interesting. I really enjoyed writing it. :D

(This chapter is a bit shorter than usual, tell me if you want longer chapters or short ones.)
