BUSTED: CHAPTER THREE

It's bound to happen sooner or later!

Author's Notes: Third chapter updated already! I plan to keep this up. It's either going to be a seven chapter story or a fourteen chapter story. If the chapters don't get longer, it's going to be fourteen. Tell me what you think! REVIEW TIME!

Psycho King: You got it right. Hopefully that means that I'm writing the personalities correctly.

kawaii kazuha: Thanks.

Koru-chan: I'm updating!

xeno: If you would care to share, I might use some of those funny things.

Detective Girl 2005: I'm continuing…

(hands out pie to all reviewers) Keep reviewing, because I have SUPER PIE hidden in the back.

Readers: Mob him for the SUPER PIE!

Me: Uh… look! A new chapter! ON TO THE STORY!

PREVIOUSLY: If you want to know, click the back button, you lazy morons!

"Let's celebrate! I'll call…"

"Maybe we shouldn't celebrate, but we can go over to my place. It's probably dusty, but I don't want your dad killing me when I step in the door."

"Good point, Shinichi."

'I can't believe it! My Shinichi's back! Wait… when did I start calling him MY Shinichi?'

"Come on, Ran!"

Just then, someone screamed.

"AAAH! There's a body over here!"

'Oh, come on! Why now?'

"It's okay, Shinichi, you can go investigate."

"Thanks, Ran! Don't worry, I'll catch up to you later!"

'Wait… wasn't that what he said the last time?'

"OH NO YOU DON'T! I'M COMING WITH YOU!"

'Oh yeah, that's what I said to Ran the last time.'

"Okay. Want to make sure I don't run off, do you?"

At the crime scene, a girl slightly shorter than Ran with blue eyes and brown hair pointed a mop at a dead body lying on the ground.

"Dead body found at 2:57 PM in an alley off of Vine Street. May I ask what you were doing here, ma'am?"

"Well, around 2:40, my friend Kaito flipped my skirt, so I chased him down here with a mop and saw some legs sticking out of the alley."

"Kaito? As in Kuroba Kaito?"

"Yes, that's him."

"KAITO! Get off the roof of the building now, and come down here."

"Hey! Shinichi! Knew you would show up sooner or later."

"You two know each other?"

"We've met, Ran." (AN: Shinichi knows about Kaitou Kid. Don't ask why, because eI won't tell you.)

"Shinichi, meet my friend Aoko Nakamori."

"Pleased to meet you."

"Likewise."

And with that, she walloped Kaito on the head with the mop she had never put down.

"OW! First hit you've got on me all week!"

"KAITO! HOLD STILL AND I'LL SMACK YOU AGAIN!"

"They seem like one happy couple."

This caused Aoko to stop dead in her tracks, while Kaito back flipped onto the adjacent building.

"What… but… not a couple."

While Aoko was stammering, Shinichi went back to investigating, and gasped as he saw what the man was wearing.

"All black!"

There was no means of identification, except for a small letter that was pinned under the body.

Rum:

You are a pathetic excuse for an operative, just like your parents were. Meet us in the alley off Vine Street to discuss your latest failure.

Gin and Vodka

'Gin and Vodka! I have to find them!'

"Who called the police?"

"How did you know that, Shinichi?"

"The simple matter of the body being discovered five minutes ago, and all four of us well-versed in the requirements of the police force. That, and I can hear sirens."

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER…

"The victim is 61 year old Tsuyu Matsunamu. Living in Osaka, my guess is that he was here on vacation. Estimated time of death is anywhere between 2:00 and 2:57"

'No, that's not right. He came here because of the meeting, but why was he in Tokyo in the first place? What was his mission? Also, the age of the victim and reference to his parents means that the Black Organization has lasted for at least 61 years.'

Shinichi got a sudden mental image of a Black Organization in the 1970's wearing tie-dye trench coats and high on drugs.

"Ahem... anyway, I think that Kaito and Aoko can leave now, I've already taken their statement. Neither of them are the killer."

"The camera up here was facing the street, so there was no video footage."

Shinichi got an idea just then.

'The Black Org. wouldn't risk their conversation getting caught on tape, but the sound would still carry over… unless…'

"Where does the camera feed end up?"

Author's Notes: This story is going to be the fastest one I've ever completed! WHEE! If I keep posting like this, I'll be done by October 1st. The sequel will be finished by Halloween (on which day I'm going to dress up in all black and freak out trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood)
