Detective Conan - Rachel: Kidnapped

Chapter 3

--One Week Ago--

Rrrrring. Rrrrring.

Richard picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Are you Richard Moore, the detective?"

"Why, yes, yes I am," Richard said proudly into the phone.

"My daughter was kidnapped! You need to help me!"

"When and where was she kidnapped!?"

The man, Kaidou, gave Richard the details. After hanging up, Richard was going to go out and try to find her and her kidnapper, but Richard got two more calls--one for a murder that was going to take place, and one for a robbery that was going to take place. Richard set out to stop the murder and the robbery, and, several days later, he (or rather Conan) had solved both of them and received another call about a suicide that was going to take place. That took several days to stop, and then it came to the time when they were at the restaurant, spending the money that they earned on those three cases. Richard had completely forgot about finding Kaidou's kidnapped daughter.

And so they came home to find the note and realized that Rachel was gone. Rachel had been walking behind them the whole time, and she had been shot with a tranquilizer gun, leaving her unable to scream to get their attention. The walk home was short so Conan nor Richard noticed Rachel's disappearance and figured that she just wasn't talking. Conan and Richard headed to the mansion to try to find Rachel, they were thrown in a prison, got out, and searched the house for Rachel but to no avail. And that brings us to now, as the guard told Richard and Conan that Rachel had been taken on Kaidou's plane to America.

"How are we going to stop Kaidou's plane!?" Richard exclaimed.

"Hahaha… you don't have to worry about that. You won't be stopping it. It's already left!" the guard was getting a laugh at all of this.

Something's wrong here… This Kaidou person pressed a button on the wall to make Rachel lose air. Why would he take her on his plane…? Conan wondered Could she still be in this house, and this guard is lying to us…?

Then, Conan looked for the switch on the wall. He found that it was in the same room as they were in. Conan ran over to it and pressed it, but it didn't anything. It seemed that once it was pressed in, the air in Rachel's prison would go away, and you couldn't reverse the process by pressing the switch again.

"Hahaha… did you really believe that Kaidou would be foolish enough to allow that button to stop the air from leaving?" the guard laughed again.

"Where's Rachel!?" Conan demanded.

"Hahaha… stupid brat, don't you listen? I told you that she's on a plane to America."

"She's not on that plane. Why would there be a switch on the wall that would take away air in a prison in this house if she was on the plane to America?"

"Stupid brat…" the guard mumbled.

Conan ran over to the guard, charged up his super sneakers, jumped up, and kicked him in the face. He went flying into the wall.

"Where… is… she…?" Conan asked.

The man was on the ground, his face with blood on it.

Cough, cough.

"She's… through the trap door… in the room up the stairs… fourth on the left…" the guard managed to say.

Conan and Richard ran up the stairs and to the room that he specified. They searched around for a trap door, but it was taking awhile.

"Damn… there's only about five minutes left until she won't be able to breathe anymore…!" Richard stated.

They finally found the trap door, hidden behind a bookcase. It was small, and Richard couldn't fit through it.

"I'll go," Conan said.

Damn, am I getting too fat? Richard wondered while Conan was crawling through the trap door.

Conan crawled for about a minute when he hit a dead end.

What the…?

Conan pushed on it and realized that it slid out and into the room Rachel was in… but the room was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, not to mention that he couldn't breathe at all.

Is it… too late…?

Conan walked around and stumbled over Rachel's body, which was on the ground.

She's… dead!?

Conan listened closely and found that she was still breathing. Conan was very relieved. He pulled her to the trap door and crawled through, pulling her along. He came out the other end and Richard was very relieved as well. Rachel was actually still sleeping from the tranquilizer gun.

"We got her back… but we still need to get Kaidou! It wasn't actually my fault that his daughter was killed… it was a mistake…" Richard said.

"It's probably too late to get him now… He's probably already left to America," Conan said.

--Epilogue--

Actually, Kaidou didn't leave to America. Before his planned flight on his private plane, he gambled… a lot of money… and he went bankrupt. He didn't even have the money to fly to America. Conan, Richard, and Rachel found him on the ground, crying, because he had lost everything. They decided to not turn him in… mainly because he was suffering more from not going to jail so they were going to let him turn himself in if he wanted to. And Richard got tons of more cases… but every time he spent all of the money earned on an expensive restaurant… but it wasn't enough money. So they always ended up washing dishes.
