Chapter 5: Captured
Princess Sango
Genta looked around outside, making sure no one could hear them before looking back at Shinichi, "I think they found Ai-chan again Shinichi-san."
Shinichi's eyes widened and pulled Genta inside the house and into the library after dropping off the groceries, "What?"
"We were at the park and I bumped into someone wearing black who said to me, 'Watch where you're going kid, you could get hurt if you don't watch out,' and if that doesn't sound like a Black Organization thing to say, tell me what does?"
"It does, and you saw him at the park?" asked Shinichi, now in his "detective mode."
"Yes and he looks like that Gin dude, like Mason too but he wouldn't, would he?"
"I'm not sure Genta but it's a possibility, and you left after that right?"
"Of course I did! You warned me about people who wore black and looked suspicious, remember that? You told me just last year what had happened two years ago!"
A knock on the door interrupted them, "Shinichi-kun? What's wrong?"
"Ran-chan you might want to come in."
Ran walked inside and saw the guy's pale faces, "Shinichi what's wrong?"
Shinichi stood up and walked over to Ran and looked at her, they were both starting over, both loving each other, and now another event has come to intervene between that, and Shinichi thought, Can I just run off again? Just leave to solve this? Ran…Ai…Genta... they're counting on me…
"We think someone is after Ai-chan again Ran."
Ran gasped and covered her mouth, "No, no one could do that! We made sure no one was left!"
"Sorry Ran-chan but its true, Genta saw him at the park. For now keep a low profile and don't let these two out of your sight."
"Hai Shinichi-kun…" she whispered before leaving the room.
Shinichi shook her head, "It's been a while since I've had a challenging case but I never wanted one like this…say Genta you must promise to keep an eye out for Ai at school, if you see them, say your sick and call me."
"I will Shinichi-san, I promise!" Genta nodded, seriously.
"Good job!"
"Daddy!" came Ai's voice from the door.
"Hi there sweetie, what's up?"
"Genta dropped me in the park river."
"I was playing around!"
"Okay, okay, Ai-chan chill, I did that to mommy too."
"Really daddy?"
"Yes, and your mom got so mad, but she got over it."
She giggled and jumped off his lap and ran over to Genta, "Let's go play somewhere, anywhere."
"What about in your room, I don't feel like being outside right now."
Ai gave a confused look before smiling, "Okay then, let's play in the new playroom daddy got us."
Genta gave Shinichi a reassuring smile before running off with Ai.
Shinichi sighed and looked up at the ceiling when the phone rang, "Moushi, moushi Kudo Residence."
"Hi Shinichi, it's Kogoro, and is it just me or is there people in black everywhere lately?"
"What you've seen them too?"
"Yes I have and they're everywhere, like they own the whole damn city."
"What's up with that? Kogoro, what happened between the time we departed to now?"
"Well I think I uncovered another one, say another "mini group" that is, full of descendants of the next Black."
Shinichi sighed and looked out the window, "I swear, they're like bugs; you think you got them all but they're back. Okay Kogoro, better come over. Ran's making dinner and Genta and Ai would love to see you."
"Okay, see you then man," Richard answered before they both hung up.
Shinichi reclined his head back when he heard a scream, and it sounded female, and like a girl. Jumping from his chair and dashing through the halls to the outside he saw Genta, who was badly beaten, along with Eva and Akemi, both looking pale. "What happened? Where's Ai?"
"I tried to save her Shinichi-san but they…" Genta tried to finish but he couldn't.
Right behind Shinichi came Ran and Agasa, "Where's Ai, who screamed?"
"They found her Ran-chan, they found Ai," Shinichi answered, cold, hurt, and broken-hearted and then added, "And there was nothing I could do to stop it."
Ran swiftly moved towards her husband and hugged him, "You'll get her back Shinichi, we'll try to, I promise."
Ai looked up at the person carrying her, "Where are we going?"
"We're going to a place," his rough voice came out.
"Hey you're wearing black, did someone die in your family? Do I know them?"
"No kid, you don't understand. This isn't no joy ride now shut up!"
With that Ai felt pain behind her neck and blacked out.
TBC…
