Chapter 10
"Where can we go?"
It is morning, and the miserable, typical English weather surrounded Bournemouth.
The black, heavy cloud covered the entire sky and the wind howled madly, indicates the coming of a storm.
The sea is now the colour of dark blue. Almost black. The huge waves hitting, bashing, attacking the cliffs which the Moonlight Hotel stood.
Richard sighed. Looking out of his bed room window, he knew he cant go out. The condition is too bad.
He wants to know if his brother is still alive, fighting for his life. Holding the phone in his hand, he knew the whole family have been phoning the hospital once every 15 minutes. And it is annoying the nurses.
But he cant leave. Not when one of his family is killing each other.
Kudou phoned the hospital too, but for a different purpose.
"Huh uh, I see." Shinichi muttered into the phone. "I know this information is strictly personal, but I am
asking on behalf of the Norferk families. No, I am not a doctor, I am a detective—wait—dont hang up!"
Shinichi frowned, slamming the phone down hard. "Those stupid receptionist!"
He look frustrate around him when he saw Hakuba walked pass down the end of the corridor.
"Hakuba, wait!" shouted Kudou.
Hakuba stopped. "Yeah?"
"You—kinda famous in England, right?"
Hakuba raised his eyebrow. "What kind of question is that? But yeah, I am popular."
Shinichi grinned his grin and hand him the phone. "Go on, prove it."
10 minutes later, Shinichi is talking on the phone with the hospital and getting all the information he needs.
Hakuba stood next to him, looking quit proud of himself having telling that lady receptionist he WILL send her his autographs.
"So Lady Norferk spend 5 months in the hospital before she died--- she is not a very healthy person---and her family rarely came to visit her------uh hun---what was the caused of her death?"
The answer made Shinichi stopped writing and hold his breath.
Hakuba looked at Shinichi, surprised. "What? What was it?"
Shinichi hold up his hand, an universal gesture of telling people to be quiet while you are on the phone.
"I see---- really? Sir Norferk said that? Will---and the rest of the family didnt knew--- but—I see."
Finally, Kudou sighed "Thank you for your help---yeah, Hakuba will post it tomorrow---no, he cant talk right now, he is busy—bye !"
"Well?!" asked Hakuba, getting impatient. "What was the caused of her death?"
Shinichi looked thoughtfully at his friend. His answer made Hakuba lost for words.
"She was pregnant."
*****************************************************
Heiji walked down the corridor where they first saw the bleeding portrait.
The portrait of young Lady Norferk is still hanging there, looking at Heiji with her big green eyes.
Heiji stood there. Thinking.
"How---- did the eyes bled? There is no such a thing as ghost, and it was fake blood. So someone put it there in a matter of ---less than 30 seconds. How is that possible?"
Suddenly, a voice went off behind Heiji, almost make him jump.
"What are you doing?"
It was uncle Mike.
"Er--- just thinking." Replied Heiji.
"Want something to eat?"
"yeah! ----I mean, no, not now."
Uncle Mike nodded. "Theres a storm coming, I suggest you better not go anywhere."
"I wont. Thanks------oh! By the way----" asked Heiji suddenly, holding his hand up to stop Mike.
"Yes?"
"Anne---whats her hobby?"
Mike seems to be a bit surprise, but he answered anyway.
"She finished her education. She is the teacher of an acting club in her spare time. This month is her days off, thats why she stays in the hotel and help with the business. She is a fine actress I tell ya!"
Heiji smiled. "She can act eh?"
"Oh yeah, she is a hell of an actress. When she was little, she played a cowgirl and won the best young actress in the competition."
"Cowgirl? Can she shoot?"
"Shoot? She can hit a can 15 meters away! I am proud of her because I teaches her to shoot." Mike laughed like a proud father, "She is like a daughter to me."
"Well, thanks for your information! See you at dinner!" grinned Heiji brightly. He watched Uncle Mike walked away while humming to himself, and finally, Hattori turned and looked up at the portrait once more.
"With a good aim, a water gun with fake blood------" Heiji pointed his index finger at the portrait, and clicked his thumb.
"You can make a painting bleed as much blood as you want!"
"What the hell are you doing? Acting like an idiot and grinning like an idiot?" asked Kazuha.
"Toyama---what—dont creep up behind me like that!!"
"I wasnt creeping! Anyway, Ran, Shiho, Aoko and I just made some cookies, I thought you might want to have one." Said Kazuha and she held up the plate to Hattori.
"Er---thanks." Said Heiji, he picked up the cookies and ate the whole thing in one go.
"Is---is it good? I know you like chocolate, so I added loads in there---" asked Kazuha, she blushed.
Heiji swallowed hard, he nodded.
"Its---very ----- (then his eyes went wide) *COUGH* *COUGH* Give—water!!" Hattori choked, while his face turning into a colour darker than chocolate. Kazuha patted his back hard.
"You are such a---lllb" laughed Kazuha. "Hattori, you are such an idiot sometimes!"
**************************************************
Between the dark corridors, Kaito walked silently on the red thick carpets.
He is holding two papers in his hand. One with strange writing, the other with the content of the song.
He looked out of the window, which isnt providing much light into this dark, huge mansion.
"The storm is coming" said Kaito quietly. He leaned closer to the window.
Suddenly, a lightning strike, follow by the loud thunder, right into the front of the mansion.
Kaito didnt even blink when the loud noise shook the mansion.
The light split his handsome face into two, one side you can see his boyish face, the other is dark, mysterious, mature. Like KID.
His crystal blue eyes looks intense, concentrating, thoughtful. He frowned.
Something is going to happen. Something bad.
He looked down at the paper once more, and walked into the huge dark room on his right. The library.
Quietly, Kaito said to himself. "In the corner of the darkest room, awaits your most horrid doom."
********************************************
"Go with Kodou, Kazuha, just leave me along!" said Heiji, totally annoyed and ordering Kazuha to leave.
"I`ve got work to do! You are just a pain right now! GO-AWAY!"
Kazuha made a face.
She has been following Heiji around like a bee buzzing around a flower with the humming noise. It IS annoying after a long time.
"FINE! I will just go! If thats what you really want!" With her half moon, displeased eyes, Kazuha gave Hattori a nasty look.
"Duh! What have I been saying from the past half an hour?! GO!" shouted Heiji.
"Dont tell me you are afraid of a little thunder!" Holding the paper in his hand, with doddles and writing, he looked impatiently at Toyoma.
Kazuha looks angry at Hattori, but she knows what Heiji is like when he wants to concentrate on a case.
She knows that she is, actually, getting in Heijis way.
"But, if I leave, you have to promise you will come to ---er---* come to what? What do I like and he dont?* Do—eh--- Shopping! Do some shopping with me--- otherwise, I am NOT leaving!" demand Kazuha. Then she waits for Heijis answer.
"Fine—what ever—go!" muttered Heiji, not realising he is falling into the trap. Still busing making notes, He didnt even hear what Kazuha was actually asking.
Kazuha got a victory grin on her face, knowing that this time, Heiji cant get away. She trotted happily away from Heiji.
Heiji looked up at Toyama as she turned at the end of the corridor and disappear.
"What did she just say??"
******************************************
"Want some cookies, Shinichi?" asked Ran to her future husband. Holding out the plate to him. They are in Williams study room, Shinichi was sitting on the chair looking at some books. Ran came into the room and offer Kudou some cookies to eat.
"No, thanks"
"Some tea?"
"No"
"How about those cream sponge cakes? Aoko and I made them"
"Later"
"---Well, at least try one of those puddings, strawberry from the garden! John gave them to me"
"Not now, Ran, I have to work." Snapped Shinichi.
Ran frowned, her lips pressed tight together. "You havent talk to me for 2 hours, Shinichi."
"Thats because I am thinking, OK?"
"You are ignoring me."
Then, with out a warning, a lightning strike right outside their window and followed with the loud crashing thunder. The whole room lit up for a second, and the floor shook ever so slightly.
But that was enough to sent Ran let out a scream and running to Shinichi.
"Ran! Dont--!" laughed Kudou, but is was too late, Ran jumped into Shinichis arms and because she was running too fast, the chair Shinichi sat on flipped over and both of them landed on the floor. Shinichi landed head first.
"OWWW!"
Kudou was holding Ran in his arm, and he hugged her even tighter. He can smell Rans hair. It smell nice.
And his head hurts.
Ran blushed and pushed away from Shinichi. She stood up and looked down at her fiance.
"Sorry---Shinichi----are you all right?"
"No, but I will live." groan Kudou. He sat up and saw Ran laughing.
"What?!"
"I am so sorry! here, give me a kiss."
"Well, that I can do!" smiled Shinichi, then he stood up and kissed Ran on her lips.
"What are you doing?" Ran asked after she put a little OK bond on Shinichis head.
"Looking at the ground plan of this mansion." Answered Shinichi, still rubbing his head.
"Why?"
"Because I think, there might be a secret tunnel or chamber in this mansion. After all, it is a very old building. How did the murderer get away? That is one of the question that is bugging me---"
"Where do you want to go after you solved the case?" asked Ran again, changing the topic.
"Eh?"
"Where can we go? You dont like shopping that much—how about London?! Yeah, a day out in London!"
"Er----"
"Or we can book a 3 days trip to Scotland, it is a really nice country. How about Ireland??"
"Ran----"
"I know! I can talk to Kazuha and Shiho about it, then we can all go! What are you going to wear---it is cold up there—where is your briefcase Shinichi? I can pack your bags and buy the cloths you need when we go up there—"
"RAN!!!!!" shouted Shinichi, losing control.
Ran looked at Shinichi, not surprise, not angry, but expecting. Kudou realised she is doing is deliberately.
"I—You—go and talk to Heiji—or Kazuha, or Shiho—just---ANYONE!" begged Shinichi
"Fine, if thats what you want." Smiled Ran, getting her own back a bit, she kissed Shinichis face and walked out of the room, giggling.
Shinchi let out a sigh, shook his head, he smiled bitterly. "Guess my marriage will be half way between Rans parents and my parents."
Then he paused.
"NO~~~~~~!"
*********************************************
Ran walked quickly down the corridors, she really hate those portraits on the wall. They are ARTS, and Ran knows each of those portraits holds a story, waiting to be discover. Each person must at least once in love with someone, had some adventures, have some wonderful secrets to share.
But, just but. Those eyes are really creeeeeepy. And those people looks—well---boring and dead. They dont have any emotion on their pale faces.
Ran dont like it. She did think once (well, more than once, actually) that there is ghost in this place, and that wife , Lady Norferk, is coming back for revenge.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought.
She arrived at the end of the corridor and turned.
A shadow appear before her eyes and she screamed. So did the shadow.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!----Ah, Kazuha! You scared me!"
"I scared you?! You made me jump!" cried Kazuha, hand on her chest, taking deep breath to clam her racing heart.
"Well---where are you going?"
"To find you. And you?"
"I was looking for you, Shinichi told me off."
"Really! Hattori did the same, he told me to go."
The two girls laughed. "Well, so what should we do now?"
"Lets go back to our room." Suggest Kazuha. "We can try on those clothes we bought. I dont want to go out, there is a storm coming."
So the girls walked up stairs, chatting happily, with out realising the dark shadow following silently behind them. A wooden stick in its hand.
Kazuha shut the door behind her, and watched Ran dig into the big cupboard to find all the clothes they bought. Kazuha stood there, humming to herself and thinking what Hattori is doing right now.
She looked at Rans back, who is in front of her. Between them, are the two beds. The door is behind Kazuha.
"Ran, can you find that purple shopping bag?" asked Kazuha. "You know, the one with that shirt I bought for Hattori?"
"Pardon?" asked Ran, with all those plastic shopping bags rustling away, she cant hear Kazuha clearly.
(Try to crunch up those plastic shopping bags, you can see how noisy they are!)
The door opened. Silently. A hand with a metal bar appeared slowly behind the door.
Kazuha turned when she felt something, or someone is behind her.
But she didnt get the chance to see what was behind her. It all happened too fast.
A flash, a heavy, deep thud sound, Kazuha felt to the ground.
"Kazuha?" asked Ran, turning around.
Kazuha is not there. The door is wide open, which covered up an area behind the wall.
But where is Kazuha?
"Kazuha? Where are you?"
Ran frowned, putting down the bags, she walked round the beds and went for the door. Then she stopped.
Kazuha is on the floor. Next to the bed, her eyes are closed tightly.
Ran rushed towards the unconscious girl and bend down.
"Kazuha! Wha—why are you bleeding---?"
The door behind Ran opened slowly, the person. Hiding behind the door.
Ran turned, face up, she saw a stick coming.
If only Ran was prepared and wasnt panicking about her friend on the floor, she could have grabbed the metal bar and gave who ever attacked her a good-kick-right-where-it-hurts.
But she want ready.
Ran saw the stars and felt the numbness on her face. Then blackness.
She collapsed on top of Kazuha.
