In Today's Case: Tess' Mission

Tess rested on the couch as Richard sat at his desk... again. Richard had his arm in a sling since he was shot in the shoulder. Nothing to serious. Conan and Rachel played a game board game. Then the phone started to ring. Richard picked it up.

"Richard Moore's Office." Richard looked at Tess. He placed the phone on his shoulder. "Tess." He called. Tess sat up as she looked at Richard. Richard held out the phone. "It's your chief from America."

"What?" Tess stood up. She walked over to his desk. She then picked up the phone. "Hello..." Conan looked and watched her. Tess started to nodded her head. She looked on Richard's desk. She picked up a piece of paper and pen. She turned her back to Conan and started to write something down. "I got in chief... right I will chief, see you in a year." Tess hung up the phone. Before Richard could look at the piece of paper. Tess picked it up. She folded it then she placed it in her pocket.

"What is that?" Richard asked.

"Nothing." Tess answered. Richard stood up then he slammed his hand on the desk.

"Don't tell me nothing! What is it?!" Richard yelled. Tess turned around.

"For me to know and you to find out." Tess stated as she walked into her room. Conan watched her.

'I wonder what he wanted.' Conan thought. After awhile Conan knocked on Tess' door. He opened the door to see Tess reading the piece of paper that she wrote. Tess looked over at Conan. Conan closed the door.

"What did he want?" Conan asked. Tess looked back at the piece of paper. She folded it back up then placed it in her pocket.

"He just wanted to know how the case was going." Tess answered. Conan put his hands in his pockets.

"Tell me the truth Tess." Conan stated. Tess sighed.

"Okay fine. I got another mission."

"What?"

"Yeah. I have to go to some kind of building or something." Tess stated. "Well, I better get going to it." Tess added. She stood up and walked past Conan then left the room. Conan watched her as he stepped out.

'I have to figure it out what he wanted I think he's setting Tess up. But who can I prove it?' Conan thought.Richard got up off his desk to do something. This was Conan's chance. Conan ran over to his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. He placed it over the spot where Tess wrote. He picked up a pencil then he started to shade it lightly as the writing came up. Once he was done Conan picked up the piece of paper. He noticed that the writing was written in English. 'Dang I can't read English! But I know who can.' Conan ran over to the door.

"Conan where are you going?" Rachel asked. Conan looked at Rachel.

"I'm going for a walk I'll be right back." Conan answered. Rachel sighed. Richard came back into the holding a beer can.

"Where is he going?" Richard asked. Rachel shrugged.

"He said he was going for a walk. Right after Tess." Rachel stated. Richard shrugged. Conan raced down the street with his solar powered skate board. He raced down the street then he came to Dr Agasa's house. He walked threw the door and entered his messy house.

"Dr Agasa." Conan called. Dr Agasa looked at Conan.

"Oh. Hi Jimmy what can I do for you."

"Can you read English?" he asked. Dr Agasa nodded his head. Conan handed him the piece of paper. Dr Agasa started to read it.

"M E E T MMME AAT 689 BST." He read. Conan raised an eyebrow.

'What kind of message is that?' Conan thought. Dr Agasa flipped the paper up side down

"What a weird message." He stated. Conan snatched the paper from his hand. He looked at the paper.

"Maybe..."

"What are you thinking Jimmy?"

"Hmm... wait! I got it! Meet me at 689 B Street!" Conan yelled. Conan ran out of the lab. Dr Agasa looked at Conan funny as he started to scratch his head.

"Ookay..."

Conan jumped onto his skate board. He pressed a button on his glasses. Now his normal glasses were his Homing Glasses. He pin pointed Tess. He followed her. Then he got to B Street. He looked around for 689 but the street ends at 601. Conan stopped as he looked at the numbers on the piece of paper again.

'Maybe it means something else... but what?' Conan stared at the paper to think a little. 'Come on Jimmy think! If you don't Tess could be in some trouble.'

"You look lost young man." Conan looked up to see a man standing in front of him.

"NO I'm just trying to figure out where I can find 689 B Street."

"Let me see." Conan handed the man the piece of paper. The man looked at it funny. "Sorry I can't read English." He said as he handed the piece of paper back to Conan then he walked away. Conan looked at it.

'MAN! This street ends at 601. There isn't a 689!' Conan yelled. He looked around. When he saw a dirt road behind the house he ran over. He looked down. His glasses started to beep louder. Conan looked forward. He started to run down the road as his glasses beeped even louder. Conan then came to a stop in front of a run down building. His glasses started to beep louder. He walked forward as he pushed open the door as dust came flying up. "Tess!" Conan called. He looked around. Then he heard some people talking. He looked forward as he saw a dusty and old stair case. He pressed the button on his glasses to make them stop beeping. He walked up the stairs as the voices got louder.

"She should here any minute." One voice said. Conan listened as he came to the top of the stairs.

"Good. We can finally get our revenge for killing our father!" the other voice yelled. Conan's mouth dropped open as he heard the word 'kill.' Conan pushed himself up against the wall to the open door where the voices came out of.

"Calm down Jeremy, we will get it."

"You did a great job mimicking her boss bro." The second voice stated.

"Indeed. She fell for it." Conan then heard someone push open the door.

"She's here." The man walked out of the room. Conan ran and hid in one of the open doors as they came out. The stood in the dark so no one could see them. Conan watched as one of the men walked by the room he was hiding in. then picked up a sniper gun and hid in the dark. Conan's eyes widened. Conan listened as he heard the door close.

"Hello...? Chief?" It was Tess. Conan stood up.

"Tess you're finally here."

"Yes what is it you need?" Conan ran out of the room.

"TESS!!! IT'S A TRICK!!!!" Conan yelled. Then a red dot appeared on Tess' chest. Tess looked at her chest as she noticed it. The man grabbed Conan and held him in a head lock. The man started to walk down the stairs to show the very same man that tried to help Conan. Tess took a step back as she showed her gun.

"Jack." Tess growled. Conan struggled in his hold.

"Yes, it's me and my brother Jeremy." He stated as a man dressed in black stepped out in the open with the red dot still pointed at her.

"Put him down!" Tess yelled. Jack shook his head.

"No." he stated. "Now Jeremy!" Tess pulled out her gun. Then there was a gun shot heard. Smoke appeared coming out of both guns. Conan's eyes widened as he watched Tess. Tess moved the gun and pointed it to Jack's head.

"I'll kill you like I killed Jake." Tess stated. Conan looked at Tess. Jack looked at Tess.

"Don't forget, you were shot too Tess." Jack stated. Tess stared at him. Tess then fell to her knees as she dropped her gun. She placed her right hand on her left shoulder. Tess looked down at the ground as she winced from the pain. "Jeremy finish her."

"NO!" Conan kicked Jack in his stomach. Jeremy pointed the red dot at Conan's back. Conan press the button to his super shoes. He kicked Tess' gun hitting Jeremy in the face. The gun then bounced off his face and hit the sniper gun making it go off. Conan ducked his head. Tess looked up as she saw Jack lying on the ground... dead. Tess looked at Conan.

"Jimmy! You're Stun Watch!" Tess yelled. Conan nodded his head as he flipped up the stun watch. He aimed and fired at Jeremy's neck putting him to sleep. Jeremy rolled down the stairs. Tess sat down onto her feet. Conan looked at Tess.

"Tess." Conan called as he ran over. "Are you okay?" Conan asked. Tess nodded her head.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Tess answered. She removed her hand. She stuck her hand into her jacket pulling out her cell phone. She showed the back of her cell phone to Conan. "Thank god I had this there huh?" Tess stated. Conan nodded his head. "How did you find me?" Tess asked. Conan pulled out the piece of paper and handed it to Tess.

"You press to hard on the piece of paper so I took another piece and shaded over it." Conan answered. Tess nodded her head.

"That's smart Jimmy." Tess looked at Conan. "You can read English?"

"No but Dr Agasa can." Conan stated. Tess nodded her head. Tess placed her cell phone on the ground.

"Well, I guess we can't call the police with this." Tess stated. Conan nodded his head. Tess then stood up.

The next thing Tess had Conan on her back. Tess and Conan rode of the solar skate board down toward the Police Station. Tess looked at Conan. Conan looked at Tess. They then smiled at each other. They looked forward as they weaved in and out of the crowd of people toward the Police Station.
