File 7. Revenge
"Ran, Ran," said Sonoko, "are you listening to me?"
"Oh, Sonoko, sorry," said Ran, "I'm just thinking about what to eat for tonight's dinner."
"Are you going to Shinichi's house tonight?" asked Sonoko. "Having a romantic candlelight dinner with him?"
"Romantic dinner? No," said Ran, shaking her head vigorously.
"You don't need to hide it from me," said Sonoko, "it's all written on your face. You must be going on quite well with your husband!"
"Sonoko, I've told you hundreds time we're friends only," said Ran. "Although I know my feeling for Shinichi, I don't know about his feeling. And I don't want to put too much pressure on him, he still doesn't remember anything."
"Daijoobu, Ran," said Sonoko, "Shinichi would soon remember once again who you are. You just need to continue your love therapy on him every day! Let's go to the supermarket for the ingredients now!"
"Sonoko!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kudo, could you walk a bit faster, it's gonna be late for dinner," said Ai. She was at the supermarket with Kudo.
"But you have bought too many stuff," complained Shinichi, "they're very heavy, how could I walk faster?"
"Kudo, you're really weak," said Ai. "You'd probably need some more physical training."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Ran and Sonoko were there at the same time; they saw Shinichi and Ai were teasing each other.
"Are you alright, Ran?" asked Sonoko.
"Um," said Ran, "oh, it's late now, I need to go home, see you tomorrow!"
"Hey, Ran, wait!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Daijoobu, Kudo," asked Ai, "your head is aching again? You look pale."
Shinichi was having dinner with Dr. Agasa and Ai, and his head started aching again. "That's okay, it's just keep on aching," said Shinichi, "urgh!"
He put his hands on his head again, and then he fell down to the floor the next moment.
"Kudo!" "Shinichi!" Both Dr. Agasa and Ai exclaimed.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Shinichi was in the middle of nowhere, and he saw a girl in white dress again, "are you an angel?" Shinichi asked the girl. She just ignored him, but there were some men in black suddenly appeared.
"We found you finally!" They pull out their guns and aimed at Shinichi, "good-bye, Mr Detective!" When they were about to shoot, the girl came in front of Shinichi…
"NOOO!!!" Shinichi cried out loudly.
"Are you alright?" said Dr. Agasa.
"Huh?"
"You've passed out, and Dr. Nagase had come and see you," said Dr. Agasa, "he said that you are fine, and that you're recovering from amnesia also. All those headaches are common. By the way, what're you dreaming? You yelled so loudly!"
"Oh…it's just a weird dream."
"Kudo, you've got a letter," said Ai, entering the room.
"A letter?" Shinichi was examining the letter carefully, "it's an invitation to a special party for a new company, V & G. They would like to invite me to be there."
"It's suspicious," said Ai.
"Yes," said Shinichi, "it must be an invitation from them."
"Don't go, Kudo," said Ai, "it's a trap!"
"I must go there," said Shinichi, "it's a chance to finish them at last."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tadaima," said Ran.
"Okaerinasai, Ran," said Kogoro. "Aren't you having dinner at Kudo's?"
"I remember I have something important to do," said Ran, "so I come home early."
"Oh, Ran, you've got a letter."
"Huh? A letter?" Ran was flipping the envelope over, "V & G?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
At Beika Central Building, the restaurant at top floor.
"Kudo, is it okay for me to be here?" said Ai.
"They've expected you to come, the letter told me to bring Sherry with me also," said Shinichi. And then they saw a familiar face entering, "Ran! What're you doing here?"
"Shinichi," said Ran in a surprise voice, "and Ai-chan also. You both are invited also."
