In Today's Case: Tess's Rage
Darien backed away from Dojoma. But it all happened so quickly. Dojoma kicked Darien's legs knocking him off of his feet. She then jumped onto him placing a cloth over his mouth. Darien began to taste the chloroform. He looked at Dojoma as she smirked evilly. His vision began to blur and the next thing he knew he was completely out.
Dojoma smirked as she removed the cloth from his mouth. His head fell to the right. Suddenly there was gunfire heard. Dojoma fell to her knee gripping her left shoulder tightly. She turned her head. There, perked up on their elbow weakly was Tess. Her gun was pointed at her. Dojoma pointed her machine gun at her and shot another round. Tess fell to the ground without any movement. Dojoma smiled.
Tess wasn't dead and she knew it. She purposely missed so she could hit her in her shoulder. Dojoma turned and looked at Darien. She stood up picking the teen up throwing him over her right shoulder. She then began to walk away.
Conan peered around the corner to where he heard the gunshots going off. He stood there staring at a body lying on the ground shaking in pain. The black clothing was familiar to him.
"Oh my god… TESS!" Conan ran forward to her. He got down to her side. Tess's eyes were clenched tightly. Blood escaped her right shoulder and her right arm. Conan looked at the bullet wounds.
"I'm… I'm fine Jimmy." Tess said wincing at the pain shooting through her arm. She began to sit up with only one use of her arms. Conan watched her. "They… they took Darien." Tess said.
"Who?" Conan asked.
"Dojoma, Jack's partner." Tess answered. Conan stood up catching her before she fell over again.
"So now not only does he have Shiho… he has Darien." Conan stated to himself.
"I can't handle this anymore." Tess growled. Conan looked up at her as she continued. "He took my parents from me. He took Darien's mother. And now he's taken Shiho and Darien and he handed Shiho over to the Black Organization. He must be brought down and stopped. I'm sick of his games… it's my turn now."
Conan watched her walk forward. Suddenly, the fear inside of Tess was gone. And now she was filled with rage and hatred. He didn't know what this was going to bring out. This could bring out the death of the Black Organization along with Jack and Dojoma. But it also can bring the death of herself. This created fear inside of Conan. Conan was afraid of losing Tess. He didn't want to be in America with Rachel and Richard dressed in black with her whole FBI team with him watching them lower her coffin into the ground. He didn't want to see that. But he pictured it. He even pictured her dying in front of him. And he didn't want to see that. That was the last thing he wanted to think about or picture. But with the sudden fear in her and then watching that fear turn into rage; that was all he could picture about her. There was nothing else going through his mind at the time. The one picture that remained in his mind was Tess lying dead on the ground.
Tess could feel the rage building up in her. She knew it was bad for it to build up like that because she has sudden out bursts of anger when she full of it. And she also knew that this was worrying Jimmy. He's never seen her this full of rage before. Tess tried to calm herself down but the more she thought about Jack, Dojoma, and the Black Organization… her rage got worse.
"Tess, where are you going?" Conan asked her watching her walk away.
"To findShiho and Darien." Tess answered.
"Not with those bullet wounds. You have to go to the hospital." Conan said to her running up to Tess. She simply shook her head.
"No I don't. They're only minor injuries." Tess stated to him.
"Getting shot twice in the same shoulder is a minor injury!" Conan shouted with slight anger.
"Yes." Tess answered. Conan stopped as he watched her continue to walk forward. He knew that he wasn't going to get through to her. So he decided to see if he could slow her down.
"Tess, have Dr Agasa look at the wounds. I'm sure he can patch them up for you." Conan stated to her following her. Tess shook her head with her left hand tightly clenching her wounded right shoulder.
"No." Tess said. "I'll be fine."
"No you won't be. You need to let someone look at th-…"
"I SAID I'M FINE!" Tess shouted whipping around to face Conan. Conan stared at Tess in shock at how sudden she bursted like that. "Go back to Dr Agasa's!" Tess shouted. She turned back around and continued to walk away. Conan stood there watching Tess disappear. Conan sighed as he hung his head low. He then headed back to Dr Agasa's place.
He arrived there. He opened the door and shut it behind him. Dr Agasa was walking around cleaning up the place. He noticed that Conan had walked through the door. Dr Agasa stopped everything that he was doing and looked up at him.
"Where's Darien?" Dr Agasa asked. Conan looked at him as he took a seat on the computer chair that belonged in the living room but seemed to be sitting in the hallway.
"He… was kidnapped." Conan answered. Dr Agasa blinked a few times.
"Tess let that happen?" he asked. Conan shook his head as he looked at Dr Agasa.
"No… she has been shot and was knocked out cold on the ground when it happened I think." Conan answered. Dr Agasa's eyes widened.
"She… she was shot!" he repeated. Conan nodded his head.
"And refuses to see a doctor about it. I told her to let you look at it but she snapped." Conan said. "She declares that she's fine when I know she's not." Conan sighed. "She's never fine with the life she lives."

Tess roamed around the streets. She attempted to pull out her cell phone to check to see if she was going the right way. But there was no need to. She looked up to see two men standing in front of her about ten feet away. Tess came to a stop as she looked at the men who were dressed in black. The tall thin man fit the description of the man that Dr Agasa had told her who broke into his home. And the fat around one she recognized from about a year ago.
"It's… it's you two." Tess growled.
"I'm surprised you remember us." The tall man spoke. "It's been a while." He added.
"I never forget the ones who try to kill me and hurt the ones I love." Tess stated coldly to him. The tall man smirked.
"That's nice to know you never forgot about me." He said, "now, hand over Jimmy Kudo." Tess continued to stare at him. Not moving an inch.
"No." Tess said. The tall man grinned evilly.
"It's a shame." He spoke as he drew a gun from inside his dark, long, black trench coat. He held the gun up pointing it at Tess's head. "If you don't surrender him to me now. I'll have to put a bullet through the pretty little head of yours."
"Go ahead." Tess said.
"What?" the tall man asked in shock.
"I'm not afraid to die like you cowards!" Tess drew her gun as well aiming it at the man. "I wonder who will make the first shot."
"I do as well Tess Moore." The man spoke as his partner also drew a gun.
"Hm. Interesting... because I don't even know your names and you happen to know mine." Tess said.
"Me. I'm Gin and this man beside me is Vodka." The tall man said to Tess. Tess nodded her head.
"All right. Gin, Vodka, I'll be the last thing you ever see!" Tess began to fire. The two man separated themselves from each other taking cover as Tess let out an all out war. The men returned the fire. Tess tucked her rolled taking cover against a building wall.
"If you don't hand Kudo over now! I'll kill your little boyfriend!" Gin shouted out reloading his gun.
Tess's body froze. 'Darien. They're going to kill Darien! I can't let that happen! I can't let them kill Darien!' Tess thought. "OVER MY DEAD BODY!"
"That can be arranged!" Gin jumped out from his hiding place as did Tess and Vodka. They began to shoot but no one showed any sign of getting hit. Tess suddenly took off running. Running towards them. Gin looked over at Vodka. "Come on! We got her attention." Gin turned and ran off with his shoes clapping against the sidewalk with his partner Vodka following him. Behind them was Tess who was reloading her gun.

Conan helped out Dr Agasa clean up the mess that was made in his house. He cleaned up thinking about Tess and how much danger she could be in right now. He couldn't get his mind off of her. Dr Agasa noticed his deep thinking and began to call him name.
"Jimmy? Jimmy?" Dr Agasa called twice but there was no response from the thinking Conan. "Jimmy?"
Conan finally heard him. He turned and faced Dr Agasa. "Yeah?" he asked. Dr Agasa walked up to him placing his hand onto his shoulder.
"She'll be fine. I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing." Dr Agasa said to him. Conan nodded his head.
"I know that Dr Agasa…" Conan said. "I'm just worried about her and her wounds. Who knows how bad they are." He added as he picked up where he left off with his cleaning.
"I'm sure if Tess knows her wounds are getting worse… she'll go to the hospital." Dr Agasa reassured him. Conan shook his head.
"No. No she wouldn't. She'll keep on roaming the streets till she getsShiho and Darien back knowing her." Conan said to him. "Tess doesn't care if there's a brick wall in front of her. If it's stopping her from getting to the other side she'll break it down. And that's what she's doing with her wounds. Her wounds are a brick wall to her. And she simply knocked them down so she could get to the other side. She'll keep on doing that till she's done with what she needs to do."
Dr Agasa stared at Conan as he continued to clean. He was about to go to his cleaning when they both heard a crash, like glass breaking. They lifted their heads and looked towards the living room doorway. Their bodies froze as they heard someone step into the house and onto the broken glass. Someone walked around the place moving things around. Conan tipped toed to the doorway. He looked through to make sure that he wasn't seen. He then saw a woman standing there. She looked up but Conan pulled himself away before she could see him.
"Dr Agasa," Conan whispered. "We need to hide."
"But where?" Dr Agasa whispered back. Conan looked around. He was about to move his body from the wall when a hand came out placing a cloth onto his mouth. Conan struggled to get out of the hold grabbing onto the woman's arm. But the more he struggled the tighter the woman's grip got. He tasted something in his mouth.
'Chloroform!' Conan thought. His vision began to blur as his hands fell from the woman's arm. He closed his eyes and then was out cold. The woman came out from behind the wall as she removed her hand. Conan's body fell to the floor with a 'thump.' The woman looked at his body and smiled. She looked up to see Dr Agasa pressing his body up against the wall near the door.
He glanced at it. And then took off. The woman pulled a handheld machine gun from the back of her and fired it at the door. Dr Agasa froze as he saw the bullets pierce the wooden door. He turned to see the woman walking up to him with the cloth tightly gripped in her hand.
"Where do you think you're going?" the woman asked reaching out with the cloth filled chloroform in her hand. Dr Agasa didn't answer for fear suddenly engulfed his body. "If you stay there I promise I won't hurt you." the woman suddenly lunged herself at Dr Agasa. She placed the barrel of the gun against his stomach as she placed the cloth onto his mouth. "You move... I'll shoot you."
Dr Agasa didn't move for he was scared of his own life. Dr Agasa's eyes fluttered as he closed them. His body fell to a limp on the floor as the woman backed away. The woman then pulled a cell phone out of her pocket.
"Jack, I got them. I think I'm going to need help moving the fat one."
I wish I could help you Dojoma. But I need to stay here for the little girl woke up.
"What about the other two? Gin and Vodka?"
They're keeping Tess busy. Move him on your own.
Click.
Dojoma growled as she hung up and placed her cell phone into her pocket. "I hate it when he does that." Dojoma pulled something off of her belt loop. It was rope. She tied Dr Agasa up and then gagged him. She turned around to face Conan to see he wasn't there. "Darn it! Where did he go!" Dojoma thrashed around the place looking for Conan. "WHERE ARE YOU!" Dojoma called out but her voice echoed in the destroyed room. "He couldn't have gotten far with that dose of chloroform he got."
Little did Dojoma know that Conan had snuck out of the backdoor. Conan struggled to keep himself awake. His head bounced from a sleeping position back into an upright position. He walked around the streets with his hands up against windows and buildings keeping himself up. He shook his head trying to shake the dizziness out of his head. Conan stopped pressing his body against the building. He placed the bottom of his palm onto his head pressing hard. He clenched his eyes shut hoping that would get ride of the dizziness and tiredness. But it didn't. It only made it worse.
"I… I have to find Tess before… this chloroform… begins to do its job…" Conan pushed his body off of the wall with his hand. He began to walk stumbling a few times but he stayed on his feet.
Suddenly he heard a car peer around the corner of the street from Dr Agasa's house. Conan's eyes widened as he turned and looked. Headlights of the car flashed on him blinding him. He placed his arm over his eyes shielding the light. When he saw the car pulling up to him, he began to run. But he knew that he wasn't going to get far from the chloroform and from running from the car.
To make matters worse, it began to rain soaking him and his clothes. His wet clothes put on more weight for him to run. He glanced back a few times at the car to see it had caught up to him. He looked forward and happened to see an alley. He smiled as he peered around the corner quickly. He slipped and landed in a puddle. He scurried to get to his feet and kept on running. The car came to a screeching stop as someone ran out of the driver side chasing after him.
Conan slipped again but this time he caught himself. But he came to a dead end. He looked up to see a building was in his way.
'Great.' Conan thought to himself. He turned around once he heard something click. The clicking noise was familiar. He turned slowly to see Dojoma standing there with her gun pointed at him.
"Don't move!" Dojoma demanded. Conan lifted up his hands signaling surrenderas she came closer to him. Dojoma reached out grabbing onto his arm lifting him off of his feet. She lifted him wrapping him tightly in her arms. She opened the passenger door throwing Conan into the car as she got in the other side. Dojoma cocked back the hammer of the gun once again placing it against his head. Conan kept his eyes forward.
"You were hard to find you know. But since you got a taste of that chloroform I knew you could've gone far." Dojoma spoke.
"What do you want with me?" Conan asked her. Dojoma smiled.
"You? I don't want you. Gin and Vodka want you there Jimmy boy. But you're also being used as bait to drag in Tess." Dojoma answered.
"Then why do you have Dr Agasa, Darien, and Shiho?" Conan asked about to turn his head to look at Dojoma. But Dojoma thrusted the gun forward reminding him not to move.
"Them? They're only bait as well. Except for the girl anyway. You and her will meet with the same fate as Tess." Dojoma then began to drive off.
Conan glanced down at his wrists to see his stun gun watch. Conan looked back at Dojoma who had her eyes on the rode. 'If I can get her with one of my stun needles. I'll be able to get away.' He glanced behind him to see Dr Agasa knocked out and tied up and also gagged. His head was leaning up against the window. 'But if I stun her. She'll pass out and possibly crash the car. I can't hurt Dr Agasa… but there's no other way. I have to get to Tess.'
Conan suddenly slapped the gun away from his head. The gun went off firing through the roof of the car. "Why you br-…!" Conan flipped up his aimer and shot a needle at Dojoma's neck. Her eyes closed as she fell forward dropping her gun in the process. The car began to swerve around. Conan reached in between the front seats placing Dr Agasa in his seat belt. Suddenly the car crashed into a building going right through the glass windows. Conan was thrown into the back slamming his face into the seats and bouncing off landing on the floor.
Conan groaned as he felt blood escaped his nose. He sat up slowly looking at Dr Agasa to see he was unharmed. He looked in front of the car to see Dojoma's head resting the wheel with the horn going off. He stood up grabbing onto Dojoma's gun. He climbed in between the seats placing his body back into the passenger seat. He opened the door getting out. He shut it and ran to the window where the car had crashed. The alarm of the building began to go off.
Conan was careful as he climbed over the broken window. He looked back at the car. Knowing that Dojoma will be up at any minute. He looked forward taking off. Conan placed the gun in the back of his pants as he pressed the button on his glasses. The right lens was fuzzy.
"Darn it! I won't be able to reach Tess without a signal." Once he had said those words. He had gotten a signal. Letters came up onto the screen the read "Contacting Tess."
&&&&
Tess had stopped. She lost Gin and Vodka. She swore underneath her breath as she through her gun onto the ground. Suddenly she felt a buzz in her pocket. She looked down pulling out her cell phone. She didn't even bother to look at the Caller I.D window. She just opened it and the screen showed Jimmy's name. Her eyes widened as she placed it onto her ear.
"Jimmy?" Tess asked.
Yeah.
"What's wrong?"
Everything! Dr Agasa was kidnapped but I managed to get away.
"What! He was kidnapped!"
Yeah, by some lady… she knew you're name Tess. Is she working for who I think she's working for?
"Yeah. Thanks for the information Jimmy."
Tess wa-…!
Click.
Tess hung up. She gripped her cell phone tightly as she closed her eyes trying to stay calm.
"This has to end! They've kidnappedShiho and Darien. Now they have Dr Agasa and tried to get Jimmy… I'm ending this once and for all!" Tess turned around taking off, not knowing that she left her gun behind.
&&&&
"Darn it all Tess!" Conan shouted to himself as he pressed the button on his glasses again. He came to a stop lost in his thinking. 'I need to help her. But I can't in this little body of mine!' He then remembered something. He turned around and headed back to Dr Agasa's place.
He got there quickly. He bursted through the front door running through the living room and to Dr Agasa's lab that was still untouched. He walked over to the freezer that Dr Agasa had in his lab. He opened it taking out the only thing in there. A jar full of clear liquid. He took it placing it underneath his arm as he left the lab. He walked into the kitchen and got himself a cup. He opened the jar and poured himself a glass of the clear liquid. He twisted the cap back on placing it onto the counter.
"I… I hope this works." Conan took a breath and then began to drink the liquid. When Conan was finished. He suddenly dropped the cup onto the floor. It shattered into millions of pieces. Conan dropped to the floor onto his knees. He clenched his head tightly and closed his eyes. His body was suddenly engulfed with pain. "Argh!"
Conan looked at his hands. They were huge. He stood up and felt tall. He looked around. He was now taller then the counter. His body was still in pain but slightly. He looked down at his chest to see he was back in his own body.
"It… it worked." Jimmy said in amazement. "I need another change of clothes." He took one of Dr Agasa's jackets and put it on. He ran all the way to his house.
We went upstairs into his room. He pulled out a white long sleeve button up shirt. He slipped it on not buttoning the last two buttons. He picked up a blue pull over jacket putting it on as he picked up a pair of blue pants slipping them on.
Jimmy ran downstairs putting on his boots and ran right out the door. He remembered that he had his glasses on. He took them off but then came to a stop. "I'm going to need these." Jimmy said placing them back on. He pressed the button on the right side of the glasses. A blue screen popped up. He smiled. The white dot that continued to blink and move was Tess. He followed the signal but then stepped on something. He looked down flipping the glasses up onto his head. He got down onto his knees picking up a gun.
"Tess's gun…" Jimmy said softly. He looked up to took off running.
Next Time on Case Closed: "Jimmy?" Jimmy's now in his regular body. He finally finds the Black Organization and Tess. Jimmy gets everyone out of the building. But then decides that he needs to help out Tess. Everything changes quickly when he realized that Tess is engaged into an all out gun war. With Tess in this war there's no way he can help her. What will happen?
