A New Life

A/N: I will be using the real Japanese names

This is my first fic so characters will probably be a little OOC (Especially Shiho, she's hard to write). Constructive criticism is welcomed. This is Shinichi/Shiho so if you don't like it tough.

"Shinichi" Speech

'Shinichi' Thoughts

This take place (Mostly) in the United States, also everyone knows Shinichi and Shiho's secret and Shinichi, Shiho, Heiji, and Aoko know Kaito's secret (He's dating Aoko and is still the Kaitou Kid) also Shiho has yet to met Shinichi's parents formally. Also this fic starts the last week of October. (So now it's the 1st of November.)

Review Responses:

Annitha: Thanks, I hoped my story was nice. And yeah to many people just end their stories when Shinichi and Shiho (or any couple for that matter) get together, I always wonder what happens afterwards, ('Cause you know almost no one has a perfect relationship, even in animes)

Black-zip: Just be patient, it will happen and maybe I'll add another character through natural means if you know what I mean.

Wanting Peace: I'm really not sure about that, the idea's up in the air for now, so you never know.

DestinyFate: Wow you must really like this story, but you should really go to sleep if you're tired (This coming from the kid that stayed up till 1:00am and woke up at 7:00am for two weeks straight).

Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan. (Dang it!)

AN: Warning for language, not much but still.

Ch 9: First Day at Work

Shinichi and Shiho woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Shiho went to the bathroom to cleanup and Shinichi went to get dressed, after a few minutes they switched places. After getting ready they ate breakfast, pancakes and bacon, then grabbed their gear, pistol and holster, FBI jacket, stuffed them in their duffel bags and walked down the hall to the elevator, once outside they got a cab and rode the few blocks to the FBI New York Headquarters. Shinichi and Shiho stepped out of the cab and walked through the doors.

Once through the doors they were greeted by their boss Tim. "Nice to have you with the FBI Mr. Kudo and Miss. Miyano." said Tim with a smile on his face. "It's nice to be here." said Shinichi, Shiho just nodded her head. Tim took them through a set of doors to the control room, "This where we keep in contact with everyone in the field." Tim turned to people working in stations with field agents over radios and cameras. "Hey guys, we've got some new agents, say 'Hi'." Some of the agents waved at Shinichi and Shiho and others just turned to glare at them with cold calculating eyes, but did not stop their work or conversations. "There not normally this cold, but we have a couple of major operations going down, three sting operations and an operation to stop illegal immigrants being smuggled in container ships so we're pulling late nights and nobody is really in the mood for conversation." says Tim. "They remind me of how you used to be Shiho, cold and always calculating." Said Shinichi earning a glare and punch in the shoulder. Tim rolls his eyes at the couple and continues to lead them down the hall and stopped in front of a couple of doors. "These doors here are our four conference/briefing rooms, their currently in use." They continued to the end of the hall and took right turn Tim then stopped at two doors. "These are our locker rooms you will use these to suit up or put on disguises before you go on any mission, and were you will undress after every operation." Shinichi and Shiho nodded in understanding.

Tim then led them to an area filled with cubicles, most empty, and doors to offices lined the walls. "This is where you'll spend most of your time when you're not on an operation." said Tim. "As you can see we kind of short on manpower, with the Black Org going down we've discovered that a couple of our agents we actually undercover Black Ops and because of that a couple of high ranking agents were on their hit list." Tim's eyes became downcast. "We lost about ten agents and many of their family members, I was on their list too but we found the hit list in a drawer of a captured Black Op, and I was sent into hiding till all the hit men were taken care of." Tim stopped to regain his emotions. "Any way, my point was that we have a lot of empty work space, especially the offices so you two are going to get your own office." "Sure that's ok with us, which office is it?" asked Shiho. "Its office C2," Tim points to an office in the corner. "Over there, come on I'll show you." Shinichi and Shiho follow Tim as he walks across the room. Tim opened the door and stepped into the office followed by Shinichi and Shiho. "This is your new office, and we have ranks here kind of like in the army, so I'm Colonel Hanson, that's how you will refer to me on duty, and you ranks are 1st Lieutenant Kudo and 1st Lieutenant Miyano. I got to do something so I'll leave you and I'll be back in a few minutes." Tim started to walk out the door but then stopped and turned around. "Do you guys want something to drink?" asked Tim. "Coffee, black." said Shinichi. "Same." said Shiho. "Sure thing, be back in a few minutes, have a look around you." With that he walked out and closed the door behind him.

Shinichi and Shiho looked over the office. To their right in front of the north wall were two desks, both of which had a very new looking computer on top of them. To their left were a couple of file cabinets and a closet. In the middle of the room there was a coffee table with three comfortable looking chairs positioned around it. "Wow this is pretty nice office." said Shinichi as he sat down at his desk. "Yeah, it reminds me of the drunken detective idiot's office only with out the wads of paper and beer cans all over the floor." said Shiho as she sat in her desk chair. "Your right, but the Mouri isn't all bad." Shiho looks at Shinichi as if had grown a second head. "You're talking about the guy that hit you practically every day when you were Conan, and threatened to kill you when Ran told him who you really were, right?" asked Shiho. Shinichi sweatdropped and scratched the back of his head. "Well there's that and sure most of the time he is an idiot but he does have his moments." said Shinichi. "Whatever you say." said Shiho with sarcasm dripping from her voice. Shinichi just shrugged his shoulder knowing he wouldn't be able to convince her.

Shinichi got out of his chair and walked over to the file cabinets, he opened them and started digging through the files. "Murder… Murder… Kidnapper… Thief… Hey Shiho come look, they have the Kaitou Kid's profile." said Shinichi. "What you actually thought they wouldn't have it, the Kid is wanted worldwide and this is New York City, a prime target for the Kid." said Shiho. "Yeah, but I'm actually amazed that he's in the Most Wanted file… Hey look what they have under his description, 'Kaitou 1412' 'Held aloft by His Own Ego'." said Shinichi. "Wow that sounds just like him." "That ego's gonna be the end of him." said Shiho. Shinichi and Shiho continued to talk about Kaito and some of his heists.

Tim was pacing back and forth in the listening room. Along with him there was one of his superiors, two of his subordinates, and the listening device operators. Tim stopped and turned to his superior Commander Paul Zulkosky. "Sir, I hardly think that they are a part of the Black Organization, even if we recovered Shiho Miyano's file from the Black Org. after all they had labeled 'Traitor: elimination required' on her folder." said Tim. "Yes we understand that Colonel Hanson but we can't take any chances at all." responded the Commander who then raised the tone of his voice. "We all remember what happened last time we underestimated them Colonel, we lost 10 good men and most of their families and that's only here in NY, we don't want a repeat of that now do we!" "No, sir." whispered Tim as he hung his head down. "We don't." "Good, I want you to continue to use listening bugs in their office and I have a team currently at their condo installing bugs there too." "But Commander Zulkosky we can't put bugs in our own agents homes." argued Tim. "We can and we will COLONEL, now if you want to keep your job you'll shut up." yelled the Commander. "Yes sir." said Tim bitterly. "Good." said Commander Zulkosky who then turned to one of the men listening to Shinichi and Shiho's conversation who had one headphone off enabling him to hear the Commander. "Now Sergeant Blackwell what are the discussing in their office." "They were talking about Kaitou 1412 the 'Kaitou Kid', apparently they found the criminal files, but the weird part was how they were talking about him, it was on an almost personal basis, like they knew the guy personally. But now they're apparently going through the current criminal files." responded the Sergeant as he slid both headphones back on. "Good work Sergeant." said the Commander. "Now I have to leave to go to a meeting with the FBI Director, good day." Captain Hanson and his subordinates saluted the Commander as he walked out the door.

As soon as the Commander was out of hearing range Tim turned and punched the wall. "Damn Commander bastard, he knows what happened was his fault and he still blames me, fuck I was only a Command Sergeant Major, he was the Colonel it was his fucking fault that 10 of my superiors died he was the one that ignored our warnings that bastard." Tim's subordinates, Captain Jacob Berg he stood at 6' 2" had brown (Think Ran's hair color) hair, an athletic build and a strikingly large intelligence, Captain Alicia McNeal was a 5' 10" blond with well defined curves, strong legs, and a keen intelligence but not as good as Jacob's, looked on with pity at their CO, neither had yet to join the FBI when the murders had taken place but they felt sorry of Colonel Hanson because he had to bear the deaths of 10 close co-workers and superiors, but what really worried them was how Hanson was acting, the captain was a good-hearted jolly man and hard to get angry but here he was swearing Commander Zulkosky and punching the wall, needless to say, they were scared. The two listening bug operators Sergeant Joseph Blackwell, and Sergeant Jason Garner were oblivious to Colonel Hanson's swearing because the headphones they were wearing blocked out all outside noise.

After calming down Tim turned to the his Captains, "Berg, McNeal, you go and make Kudo and Miyano welcome and get them acquainted with the computers operating system (OS), I'm going to calm down in my office for a while, please hesitate to call me if something's wrong, dismissed oh and bring Kudo and Miyano some coffee, black." The Captains saluted as Tim walked out the door and up the stairs to his office.

Jacob turned to face Alicia and said. "Wow, I've never seen Colonel Hanson so worked up." "Yeah, that must be a pretty bad subject to get him worked up, I mean he's always happy, and he's never told us exactly what happened, all he said was that 10 agents were killed, but he's never said who was killed or how they were killed." "Yeah, but we probably shouldn't ask him." said Alicia. "We should really go and show Kudo and Miyano the ropes." "Yup let's go and let's not forget their coffee." responded Jacob. Alicia nodded and they walked up the stairs and down the hall.

Shinichi was currently sitting in his chair taking in every detail of the room, from the location of the air vents and windows to the distance of the trash can from his desk in case he decided to play waste bucket basketball, Shiho was going through a couple Black Organization files, when the door opened, they turned towards the door as a pair of agents walked in. Shinichi gave them a once over, a male about 6' 2" brown hair, and a female about 5' 10" blond. The man spoke in a neutral tone. "I'm Captain Jacob Berg and this is Captain Alicia McNeal." the man motioned to the woman beside him. They extended their hands and Shinichi and Shiho shook them. Shinichi then said, "I'm Shinichi Kudo, The Great Detective of the East from Tokyo and this is my girlfriend Shiho Miyano the beautiful genius and assistant of the Great Detective of the East." Out of the corner of his eye Shinichi saw Shiho blush slightly for a split second before regaining her composure. "Where's the Colonel?" asked Shiho. "He had some business to attend to so he sent us instead, oh here's your coffee." answered Alicia. "Thanks." said Shiho and Shinichi. "Alright let's get down to business; we need to show you two how to enter the FBI database." "We already know how." says Shiho. "And let me tell you the FBI has the worst security system I've ever seen." Jacob's and Alicia's eyes grew wide in disbelief. "I told you she was a genius." said Shinichi as he swung an arm around Shiho's shoulders. "Wow, no wonder Colonel Hanson speaks so highly of you, by the way what rank are you two." said Alicia. Shinichi put a finger on his chin a thought for a second. "I think he said we were Lieutenants." For the second time in ten seconds Jacob and Alicia were stunned. "What you just joined the FBI and you're already Lieutenants, you guys didn't even go through training." said Jacob. "Remember I'm a world famous detective, and who ever said we didn't go through training, but I'm also stumped as to how we got such a high rank." explains Shinichi. "Oh well." said Alicia. "Ok since you guys already know how to get into the FBI database we need to tell you your passwords and how to get to more secure areas and to enter new info about criminals." said Jacob as he sat down at Shinichi's desk. They spent the next couple of hours going through security protocols until Colonel Hanson having recuperated from his outburst joined them until Shinichi's and Shiho's shift was over.

Shinichi hailed a cab and Shiho and he got in it to go home, though little did they know they were being watched. For across the street at the entrance to an alley way stood a figure. After Shinichi and Shiho rode away in the cab the figure retreated back into the alley way pulled out a cell phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Hello?" said a voice from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, I have two new targets for you."

"Oh hi boss, so who do you have in mind?"

"A certain detective and a traitor, I gave you pictures of them about a week ago."

The person on the other end of the phone looked around the room he was in and found the pictures on the far wall. "Ok gotcha boss."

"Ok, good I want them dead by the end of the year, preferably at the same time, no mistakes and nothing noticeable and consult me before you kill them, bye." The figure ended the call. The figure looked up at the sky. 'The Black Organization may be going down, but I deleted all my records, this time I will kill you Shinichi and Sherry even if I have to do it myself.'

How do you like this chapter, not much fluff but a little twist in the plot. One guess each on who the mystery figure is. (The one that dialed the phone)

Sorry about the long wait, but school got in the way (I'm failing Spanish and I have a D in Language Arts), and my little brother(12 yrs.) was diagnosed with Leukemia (He is mentally handicapped and can't talk, the doctors diagnosed him with Fragile X syndrome (The X chromosome is deformed) when he was 2 so he had a high chance of developing this cancer), and I'm under a lot of stress and took a lot of the last week to relax so don't expect fast updates, I'll try to update every other week and will never give up on this story.
