PANG

He had come out of nowhere and no one had seen him coming out of nowhere with the gun in his hand until it was too late.

But somehow it all went down like a scene out of a cartoon especially or rather exactly like Tom & Jerry where the bad guy/Tom is hit with a frying pan collapsing on the ground.

What happened was that Kaito had gotten bored with Hakuba droning on as usual just droning on about his plan and somehow bringing Sherlock Holmes into it along with his Doves he was falling asleep, but too bad for him that he kept getting nudged by Ran. Who kept giving him into trouble, and it was as if he was in school all over again only it was Ran instead of Aoko, but sure did look like her.

And somehow he ended up with the frying pan in his hands and started to swing it about pretending that he was going to hit Hakuba on the head with it just like out of the cartoons. It was all old and fried which started to make think of bacon again.

"Mmmm, Bacon" said Kaito as he licked his lips.

And he just swung it in the air without thinking.

BANG

He had felt something large and heavy it the frying pan instantly falling to the floor in a blur of a black flash hitting the floor with a heavy bang.

While he did this he was swinging the frying everyone stood silent and in shock as they were watching what was going o behind up able to say or mutter a single word. They watched the large man appear out of nowhere from the shadows with a gun and ready to aim but he was suddenly struck out of nowhere.

He was trying a new trick.

"Did I just hit something" said Kaito frozen in shock still holding the frying pan in place.

All three of them just nodded like a boggle heads.

"Arghh!" screamed the man in pain slipping in and out of unconsciousness.

Kaito stood still as the other three stepped forward looking to see how he had just knocked out.

"My my Vodka it is delightful to see you again" said Vermouth with a creepy smile wide across her face.

This smile crept all of them as for the first time they had ever seen her she looked old and like the grim reaper itself but far more terrifying than anything that you could ever imagine.

And sent down shivers down everyone's spine and making their skin crawl as they just watched her.

"Vodka" said Kaito shivering as he turned seeing the man lying on the ground.

This man looked far more terrifying than Snake had ever looked and right now he was knocked out by the frying pan that was now in his hand.

He dropped it on the floor making a clinging sound echo across the room.

"Hakuba my darling help me pick him off the dirty ground will you, it seems like we have company and an integration to get to" said Vermouth looking down with her hair waving down with her.

Hakuba hesitated slightly but then quickly followed the order.

And Vodka was now the one that was tied to a seat bloody and bleeding the exact same thing that had been done to him and Shinichi. An interrogation of terror of psychological and physical torture that had left it's scars not only physically but mentally as well.

This right here had given him nightmares almost every single night and at the start gave him nightmares every waking minute as well. It had taken everything in him to get to grips with reality and try his best to pull himself together because that was all he could do as he was almost drive into insanity.

Only to be pulled to back with the help of a cold blooded killer that wanted his help to get justice in the eyes of the law if that was what he wanted as well as revenge.

She quoted him a Sherlock Holmes line written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

"I think there are certain crimes which the law cannot touch, and which therefore, to some extent, justify private revenge"

And upon hearing this and hearing that Shinichi was alive but the entire world had thought of her as dead and he himself as well. That so many people had died just getting to them and that he was supposed to be dead and not amongst the living.

She said all this while sitting at his bedside while he was unable to move and barely even breathe because it was so hard.

But he was able to muster a response.

"No I do not need or want your kind of help the law that my Father and I work so hard to protect and follow to the letter will help you will see that" said Hakuba cold and flatly.

He was not able to say much more.

But she had just kept coming back every couple of hours or days telling him the latest news and more of the story.

He had learned the real reason Kuroba had become Kaitou Kid and how he had sorely misjudged the magician, only wishing that his friend? Would have come to him for him and just maybe everything would be different. Then again would be have even heard him out after the confession before slapping on the handcuffs and taking him away before he could hear the rest. He knew that even if he did he would have put him behind bars but he never truly thought that he would have ever captured him.

Then he was told about Rum and the whole story behind the whole facade that had changed everything for him because he could truly not believe it all.

And now looking back this was the point where he started to listen.

She then went on to tell him everything that had happened to Shinichi of how she had become Edowaga Shirley and the tight situation she really was in the first place that she could not trust anyway. Or rather she could not trust that anyone would be safe with the truth and she was putting all her hope in the law just like he had and now that precious law that they followed had failed her and him.

Then he was told what was happening to her now in his absence and because everyone thought that she was dead there would be no one coming to her rescue.

Now looking back he could clearly see that she had manipulated him into all of this into everything and she had manipulated everyone into this. But he did not care about this because justice would be prevailed in the end and this would be how he would get his revenge.

Also like so many other fools he had fallen in love with this woman as he was head over heels in love with her and he wanted to help her. Even know he knew that she could never change and that she was clearly a psychopath and a cold blooded killer that was out for herself and no one else. She would throw him to the wolves if it meant that she could get a five minute head start to run away from the law or anyone that was after her. He wanted to change her by helping her, and he could only hope that she could change that she could become the person that she could potentially be in the inside or the person that he would hope to see.

He owed her a debt for saving his life and protecting his family, and he was going to pay that debt by saving Kudo Shinichi and help bring down The Black Organisation once and for all.

"Kuroba why don't you go to the car your equipment is in the boot so you can start getting prepped ready for your next debut" said Hakuba.

Kaito looked annoyed.

"Alright but you better not something stupid like dying again" said Kaito walking out the door annoyed.

Followed by Ran because she did not want to see what was about to happen next as she half covered her eyes going out the door.

"Rinse and Shine sunshine" said Vermouth slapping Vodka on the face cheek to cheek playfully until he woke up.

Then she squirted a cold bottled water all over his head.

"Do you want to play a game of Russian roulette?" said Hakuba coldly as stood behind Vodka putting an object to his head.

Vodka immediately was on high alert as soon as he heard that voice.

"Son if you want to threaten someone with a gun then you should use an actual gun" said Vodka.

He just smiled knowing what was happening right now.

"Vermouth you really are a Rat wait until that person get his hands on you" said Vodka.

But Vermouth did not even flinch at the sound of this.

"My my it is going to be fun" said Vermouth.

"If you are here for the Detective girl. Aniki will gladly put a bullet in her head before..." said Vodka.

"So she is here after all that was far too easy like interrogating a five year old tells you what you want straight away" said Hakuba smugly.

Hakuba moved the broken piece of metal he had found lying on the ground and put it on the counter behind him.

"I slight change to the plans because we now have a way for you to get in and we have also a use for this guy alive" said Hakuba.

Vermouth smiled.

"Now tell me Darling what exactly do you have planned" said Hakuba.
