Chapter 11: Communications

Princess Sango

Ai waited till Hattori came back, but it seemed like forever. Ran had reassured her till she eventually fell asleep again. Genta hadn't woken up yet but she was worried about Hattori, he was risking his life for everyone else here. Hearing footsteps Ai watched as Hattori was thrown back inside the cell ruthlessly.

Walking over to Hattori she looked shocked at his new wounds, "Hattori-san, are you still conscious?"

"Yeah kid, I'm still here."

Ai nodded as she gently took her fingers and ran it over the new wounds, seeing they were deep, "You're not going to die are you Hattori-san?"

"I hope not, I still have a kid coming and I want to be there for the child. Whatever happens I'm not letting you die, or get harmed, Shinichi would kill me himself."

Ai laughed and looked at her uncle, "I know what you mean. Hattori-san, why don't you rest, I'll make sure to wake you if they come back."

"Thanks Ai-chan, night." Hattori answered her and closed his eyes and settled into a deep sleep. Smiling Ai grabbed the badge from her pocket and tried to locate someone, and who answered, her dad.

Shinichi…

"Hi Ai-chan, are you okay?" Shinichi asked, relieved to hear her voice.

"Yes daddy, but mom and Genta are here too along with Hattori-san."

"Ai, who's injured, anyone?" Shinichi asked her urgently.

"Hattori-san, but that's about it, hurry up daddy! I don't think Hattori-san can live under these conditions for too long."

"I'm on my way…" Shinichi answered her as he turned to Kogoro, "Let's go!"
