Chapter 6:

Conan and Ran were at the swimming pool while the doc took a nap back at the hotel room. Just then, Conan saw Gin and Vodka walking toward the pool.

"What are they doing back here so soon?" Conan thought suspiciously.

Vodka walked over toward Conan, and Conan put his little kid act back on again and swam toward him.

"Hey, I remember you! You are that man from before that wouldn't give me soda money."

"Sorry about that. Hey, do you like candy? I have some up in my room. You want to come and get some kid?"

"What is he up to? Well anyway, this could be my chance to put them to sleep and steal the pill." thought Conan.

He smiled, and said "Sure! Mommy, can I go?"

"Sure, be careful......" said Ran nervously.

"I hope he knows what he is doing..." she thought.

Conan put on his sneakers, and began walking. Vodka and Conan walked down the halls, and when they were in an area where nobody was around, Vodka suddenly slammed Conan against the wall and put a gun to his head.

"Alright kid, my partner has something to settle with you. Walk quietly and I promise you will get at least five minutes extra to live."

"Why are we stopping? I thought you said you had some candy in your room." said Conan innocently as he discretely began to aim his watch.

"Wow, you are stupid. I don't care whether he kills you or not, but I think you are too stupid to be Kudo."

"I think you are the stupid one around here." Conan then shot him in the neck with the watch, and he immediately fell asleep. Conan dragged him in to a janitorial closet, and shut the door.

"So, Gin does know who I am. I think I will walk into the room anyway. I will get that poison, no matter what." thought Conan.

He casually approached room 286, opened the unlocked door and walked in. He saw Gin napping on a chair, facing the opposite direction.

Conan locked the door, and began to speak from across the room.

"Excuse me sir, but your friend told me that he had some candy he would give me, and that I should go here alone since he is at the bathroom." said Conan innocently.

There was a short pause, and then Conan saw Gin hold up the pistol aiming at Conan, but he didn't get up from the chair or move anything besides his arm.

"You are pretty tricky, detective. Surviving both times I killed you. First you escaped, being one of the lucky ones like that traitor Shiho who turned into a kid instead of dying immediately, and then, I killed some idiot who was dressed as you, and I really don't give a shit why he was. Well now I shall kill you for the third and final time, and make sure you don't come back to life this time. I am not leaving until I see you DEAD!" With his final word, the killer stood up, and smiled evilly at Conan with his wide open, cold eyes. He fired the pistol straight at Conan's face.

"NOW DIE!"

The bullet hurdled toward Conan, and at the last moment, he smiled in content and held the sole of his shoe up to the shot.

Only a split second after the shot was fired, Gin had dropped the gun and was screaming in pain and holding his hand over his eye, which was leaking blood at an alarming rate. "YOU LITTLE SHIT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO!?" he screamed.

Conan didn't answer; he just walked over to Gin, who was now curled up in pain on the ground in a pool of blood coming from the bullet wound in his eye.

"Don't you know the good guy always wins?" said Conan solemnly. He reached inside Gin's coat pocket, and found the poison right there. He took it out, and right as he was walking away, Gin grabbed his leg.

"No...you won't get away.....I have to kill you..." said Gin weakly.

"I told you, you can't win." said Conan, as he turned on his foot power-enhancing sneakers and slammed his foot down on Gin's face. He let go of his foot, and started screaming in pain again. As Conan walked away, Gin spoke to him.

"Well, I'm going to die anyway, so why don't you just kill me right now?"

"My whole life is tracking down those poor souls in this world who are killers, so they can get the punishment they deserve. Killing you will just ruin everything my life stands for. I am getting the police, and they will take care of the rest." And with that, Conan walked out of the room with the poison in his pocket and the door locked behind him. Right as the door shut, Gin spoke to himself.

"You do not realize the terrible mistake you just made, detective.

Conan worked his way back to the room he, Ran, and Agasa had rented, and he walked past the pool on his way, and signaled for Ran to come follow him. Ran was sitting by the poolside, and she immediately got up and followed him when she saw him. They got back into the room, where Agasa was sitting on the couch snoring with a newspaper over his head. Ran walked over him and shook his arm.

"Doc, wake up! We're back from the pool"

"Huh...? Oh, hello! How was your swim?" He asked sleepily.

"Doc, I got the poison! We should get out of here while we still can! Ran, go call the police and tell them that there are two members of "the Black Organization" in the hotel; one in room 286, and one in the broom closet." said Conan as he limped to a bed.

Ran looked at Conan's bruised leg. "What happened to your ankle?"

"It's just a small injury, nothing to worry about. Now go call the police!"

Agasa, Ran, and Conan grabbed their belongings, got changed and walked toward the lobby, and all of them were back in disguise now.

Ran spoke to the clerk at the front desk. "Ma'am, I have spotted two maniacs from a crime organization staying at your hotel. It was those two men in Black you warned us about. The police are on their way right now."

"I knew there was something strange about them! We must tell all of the guests to return to their rooms and lock the doors and windows immediately! You three should leave immediately." sid the clerk. Just then, several policemen walked in. They started to speak to Ran.

"You three should leave immediately since you spotted the criminals. We have heard little of them, but the small amount of info we got on the Black Organization was that they are brutal and tricky. We will call you as soon as we need to question you."

Ran nodded, and they all brought their things out back to Agasa's car, and they began to drive away.

"Doc, we need to go right to your house where Ai is so she can start finding an antidote." said Conan as they were in the car."

They all walked into Agasa's house, where they saw Ai working on the computer. She saw them come in, and walked over to them.

"So Kudo, was your little mission successful?"

"Yeah, I got samples of the poison." He said as he handed her the samples. "I also gave Gin a decent beating, and the police arrived to take them away."

"And how exactly did you do that?"

"I just had Agasa put magnetized metal soles on my foot-power enhancing sneakers. I didn't think it would actually work."

"You should have stayed at the hotel. If I know those two idiots, they have escaped before the police showed up. You better watch out. Anyway, I can get started on an antidote now. Give me until tomorrow evening; I will start work right away."

"Thanks, Haibara. And by the way, they know that both of us have shrunk."

"Figures. Now go home so I can work."
