Ch.5

Kidnapped

For this chapter only ( ) will be use for Haibara's thoughts

"At around 20:00 today, a young lawyer of age 27 was murdered at Beika Hall. Currently the police had sealed off all access into the area where the man was killed and have not yet released much information about the case. Rumors have run that the murder was planned ahead of time but no confirmation has been made so far. We will continue to bring update on this recent event as time run by. Now for the next news."

A hand reached over and turned the radio off. Haibara looked up to the late afternoon sky. (In Jp. The sun don't go down until late after 11 during the summer.) The professor was resting his eyes next to her. The clouds swam peacefully as she sat, watching, waiting for some news from the two heroes. She had noticed the arrival of the police and the intense security at the foyer. The media was crowding around the front door eager for some news from the police. It has been 2 hours since they had gone in.

"Maybe letting them go wasn't such a good idea." Haibara mumbled under her breath. (Maybe I should have stopped him even by force when he told me. This is suppose to be my problem. I can't just sit here and do nothing.) She did not know if what she was doing was right or wrong. She had let them go in alone. But if she go in, merlot will sure recognize my appearance. (He knows me too well.)

(they were fools for going in. Bunch of idiots. Even then, his in there risking his life partially for me as well. How can I just sit here? I can't, I must go.)

Haibara opened the door quietly. She looked around as she stepped off onto the side walk and closed the door behind her softly. The professor still sleeping with a face as though nothing is happening. Looking upon it, Haibara wondered that if she will be able to sleep like that again.

She walked around the out side of the building, still unsure of if she should go in or not. Haibara noticed that her hands were shaking. (I'm hesitating.) Step by step she got further away from the vehicle.

Noticing the little girl's late arrival, an eye pierced through the crowed on to her, and came on an evil smile.

Still frightened as ever, her strides began to get wider and accelerated. Without knowing, she was running. She reached the entrance to the city hall and took the handle on the door in her shaking grasp.

The smile on an anonymous individual in the crowed widened. "Seeing you here is indeed lucky for me.. Sherry!"

"Sherry!" a voice echoed from behind her. Haibara froze on the spot. With all the courage she had in her, she turned around.

"Sherry, over here. What took you so long, we've been waiting for almost half an hour." A young teenage boy waved across the street with some of his friends to his girl friend. The lass happily skipped across and united happily with her friend.

phew. Haibara sighed in relief. She proceeded to open the door. She then felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see a police officer smiling back toward her.

"Hi there little girl. Are you looking for something?" the officer questioned still smiling.

"ummm. Yea. My daddy is working in there and I just came by looking for him." Haibara answered innocently, trying not to look too stressed about the incident.

"I see. But I'm sorry, I can't let you in at the moment." The officer replied.

"How come?" Haibara asked.

"Because…" The officer spoke but this time his voice had changed into a female's voice. Haibara's eyes opened wide in terror. "You're coming with me." With that he held a handkerchief to her mouth. Drowsiness took over Haibara and she collapsed into her captor's hands.

The professor opened his eyes slowly and looked around with a yawn. He quickly noticed the missing person next to him and immediately rose, hitting his head on the roof of his car. He searched the vicinity to see if he can still see her. The old man got out of his car and searched left and right. "Ai-kun" he called out. No answer was heard. He then caught something in the crowed. An orange brown haired little girl was being carried off.

RIIING…..RIIING

"Huh, whats that." Hattori asked.

"That's probably just the professor wondering how we're doing on the case." Conan replied ready to tell the professor that he had solved the case and would be out in no time.

…Hello? Oh, hey professor, I thought it was you. We've cleaned up this case and we will be out soon."

"Shinichi, listen to me. Ai-kun has just been kidnapped by some one."

"What!?" Conan exclaimed.

"Listen carefully shinichi. Use your glasses to find her before they are too far away for you to track. I would also like to warn you. The skateboard that I fixed today morning has not been able to fully charge. It will only run until the sun goes down. That should give you at most 45 minutes of running time."

"I'll go immediately." Conan replied with determination.

"Something wrong there Kudou?" Hattori asked with curiosity.

"Haibara just got kidnapped." Conan replied, anger rang in his voice.

"What!" surprised by the comment, Hattori replied in an extra loud noise. Chief Megure came over and asked if something was wrong. "No, no, nothing is wrong. Just that this kid said something humorous that's all."

"Making jokes at a time like this. What kind of nerves do you guys have, geezus." The chief went back to work.

Hattori looked over to Conan again. "So what are you going to do."

"I've got no choice. Hattori, I'll leave things here with you. I'm going after Haibara."

"How, you don't even know where she is."

"Don't worry. My classmate friends and me went to the aquarium today. If I'm right she should still have her Detective Boys Badge' on her. If I can follow the signal in that, I'm sure I will be able to find her location."

Conan reached to his glasses and pressed the tracking button. "Just as I thought. She do have it and she's on the move. Gotta go. Hattori, you got the rest."

With that Conan ran outside and started the turbo on his skate board.
