Chapter 4: APTX 4869

The next morning.

"Ran, I'll just go out to take a walk" Conan went outside and thought of the pill.

"Excuse me boy...." a big man with black suit asked him.

"Have you seen this girl?"

"AI" Conan eyes grew big and looked at the man.

"Hey kid.. have you seen this girl?"

Looking innocent Conan lied at the man. "Well....ummm..... nope, haven't seen her, maybe you'll find her in the playground all kids play in the playground."

"Yeah, you're right kid... thanks."

"For a big guy he's not too smart." Conan ran back to the doctor's house to tell the danger to Ai.

"AI!"

" Hey what's the rush?" asked the startled doctor.

"Doc, Where's Ai?"

"She's looking for you...... Why what's the problem?"

"Ai is in trouble..... some guy in a black suit, maybe a member of the underground crime ring is looking for her."

"Oh no!"

"Where do you think she will go? "

"Maybe in the playground."

"DOC! Ai is not a little girl"

"I'll ask Ran if she had seen Ai." Conan slammed the door and ran to the apartment

"Ran, is there a little girl looking for me? Same height as mine and has yellowish hair."

"Oh yeah..... Ai is her name right? She said she'll be waiting for you in the playground."

"WHAT? Idiot!" Again Conan ran outside and headed to the playground hoping that he could find Ai there. When he got to the playground the gang was there Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko. They ran to Conan

"Hey Conan.... a big suspicious man was is here he was taking with him a blonde girl." Genta said softly.

"Oh s**t I'm too late. Where did the man took Ai.... I mean the girl?"

" We tried to follow them but they got inside the car...... oh Mitsuhiko filmed the man and the girl." The gang watched the tape.... In the tape the man made a call before getting into the car.

Tut....tit....tut....tut...tit..

Conan, being familiar with the sound of every number in the phone already knows the cellphone number.

"Boss.... where will I take the kid? Ok.... I'll be right there."

Recording the voice in the voice changing bowtie Conan already has a plan in finding Ai. After watching the video Conan immediately dialed the number and adjusted his bowtie.

"Ummm boss.... where will I take the girl again?"

"Imbecile! Haven't I told you? In the PIER.... PIER....PIER!" The man in the other phone was already angrythe voice is familiar to Conan.

"GIN!"

The three looked at Conan puzzled from the boy's reaction.

"Who's Gin?"

"Baka, Genta it's an alcoholic drink and kids are not allowed to drink! Am I right Conan?"

"Hehehe" All Conan can do is laugh and say yes to his friends, cause they won't understand even he explain.

"Ayumi can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure"

"Can you tell Ran that I will stay in Mitsuhiko's house for school project?" "Ok, but where are you going?"

"I'm just going to find someone."

"Can I go Conan?" asked Mitsuhiko

"No you must be in your house so If Ran calls tell her that I'm sleeping at your house, and if she wanted to talk to me just make excuses I know your good at it."

"What about me?"

"Genta can you tell Dr. Agasa that Ai is in the pier."

"Ok"

Conan went to the pier to rescue Ai. When he entered the pier, everything seemed normal. Ships and crew's preparing for the departure. Ai was no where in sight. Conan decided to search the whole place. Suddenly a black car entered the pier. Conan followed the car. There he saw the members of the Underground Crime Ring. In the car stepped out the big man followed by Ai. Gin was there, he is the one that's talking to Ai. Conan can't do this alone so he called the police using his Shinichi voice. After calling he listened to the conversation.

"Ai..... you thought you could get out our society that easily?" Ai was just silent while Gin talks and talk.

"You screwed up in making the pill, but it is now of use to us, and I also heard from my source that you're inventing the antidote."

"So what if I am" staring angrily at Gin.

"Whoa.... you know you look cute when you're angry. ....specially in that body.. ....I just wanted you to produce the pill that made you small and the antidote of course. "

"Boss..."

"DON'T INTERUPT!" Grinding his teeth

"But boss....."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?."

"Boss.... I have found this tubee in the playground under the slides."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Snatching the test tube away from the big man.

"S**T!" Ai mumbled. Ai's plan is for Conan to find the antidote under the slide, because she knows that Conan's friends are taping her and the big man. But the plan backfired.

Suddenly the cops came with detective Mouri and inspector Megure.

"ALL OF YOU ARE UNDER ARREST" Inspector Megure shouted in the megaphone. But the gang just fired at them and the pier was full of gunshots and violence. Some of the cops were shot and also the other members of the gang. Ai took advantage of the situation and grabbed the formula. She ran and Gin was following her. Conan spotted Ai and Gin and ran after them. While Ai was running and pick up a pace she had found an opportunity to hide the formula and started running again. Unfortunately she ended up in the rooftop of a building. She was caught by Gin.

"AI!" Conan shouted.

"CONAN, GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Oh.... so you are Conan the little Shinichi..... Now that you here. ...BART!"

"Gotcha!"

"Hey put me down" The big man caught Conan, he cannot escape cause of the tight hug of the masculine Bart.

"Now little missy tell me where the formula is.... or the boy gets it...." "Fine I'll tell you.... it's in the trash can" "That's my girl come with me to be sure..... Bart hold on tightly to that boy we'll deal with him later."

Ai pointed the formula and when gin got a hold of it Ai slap his hand and the formula scattered on the floor.

"YOU FOOL! Now how are you going to get back to your original self?"

"I don't care!"

The loud gunshots in the pier were gone and the police found Ai with Gin. Ai led the inspector Megure and detective Mouri to Conan and the inspector arrested Bart.

" Hey Conan why are you here?" asked the detective.

"Well I'm just looking at the pier with my friend here."
