Thank you Angechishikimon for the information, also for being the only one to review twice (so far). Thank you Panthra Blue-Eyes, Ytak, tively-split, and Vera for your reviews, I will re-post the first two chapters and fix the spelling/grammar mistakes soon. Oh and Vera? I like bad puns.

Later that morning Ai and Agasa were making breakfast while Conan and Heiji discussed the events of last night, when they heard a soft noise from the doorway. Heiji opened the door to find the Kid who was now wearing slightly too large sweatpants, a tee-shirt and many bandages, and swearing softly but very creatively at the just out of reach doorknob.
"Where did you learn that?" asked Heiji, as Kid finished up with an anatomically improbable description.
"Have you ever heard Inspector Nakamori after I get away?"
"Sounds like he needs to be a little more careful about his language around kids."
"Hattori" said Ai "This is not the appropriate time for your 'little' jokes and if you continue, I may consider arranging for you to "join the ranks of the vertically challenged" as you put it."
"Now that is an impressive threat." Said Kid with a grin as Heiji blanched under his tan, "Can I assume you have something in common with Kudo and I?" Suddenly serious again Kid turned to Conan. "Conan, I need to borrow the phone."
"WHAT! I told you what would happen if any one..."
"I know Conan! But this is important!"
"What could be so important that you would take this big a risk?"
"My Mom." He said softly "I want to tell her I'm alive, and warn her." Ai looked at Kid, though her face was nearly expressionless her voice was almost sympathetic.
"Kid, there is a cell phone near the computer. It can not be traced." Kid turned and rushed from the room.
"Why did you do that?" Asked Conan
"Kudo, what would have happened if you couldn't talk to Ran, even as Conan? If you had to let Dr Agasa and your parents believe you were dead?"
"Oh, I see." The four of them sat in silence for a moment before Heiji chuckled.
"I wonder if his mom tells him to eat well and get some rest before his heists?" He asked.

Kaito scratched at the bandages on his face as he waited for his mom to answer the phone. 'I don't know how I'm going to explain this to her.' He thought 'I just never planned for any thing like this. Well I don't think anyone plans for anything like this.'
"Moshi-moshi"
"Hi Mom."
"Who is this?
'Oops! I forgot to concentrate on sounding like myself.' "Mom, it's me Kaito," he said lowering his voice so he sounded like a teenager this time.
"Kaito! What happened! When you didn't come back, I thought. Did you get arrested?"
"Arrested?"
"At your heist last night."
"Mom, you knew?"
"Of course dear. Your father and I didn't keep secrets from each other. Now where are you? What happened? Are you alright?"
"How did? Never mind, I can't talk long. Mom, the people who killed dad set a trap for me. I'm alright but they think I'm dead. I can't let them find out they're wrong." He shuddered as he remembered that moment when they caught him. He thought they were trying to beat him to death, when he realized one of the guys was talking about 'cleaning up loose ends' then the other one said.
"Nah, he found out about his dad by accident and he hasn't told any one. Hell, his girlfriend is the daughter of the head of the task force back there!"
"Mom," said Kaito "don't let any one know you've talked to me, ok? I promise I'll be back as soon as I can and I won't let those murderers get away. Just, stay safe, please."
"Only if you stay safe too, my little Kaito"
'If she only knew.' He thought. They talked for a while about simple things and silly things, both unwilling or perhaps unable to bring up what happened to him last night or how long he would be away.
Afterwards he made a second phone call. His conversation with Jii was brief. Jii promised to keep an eye on the Nakamori family and on Kaitos' mother. He just wished he could have seen Jiis' face when he mentioned that he was working with the Great Detectives of the East and West and no they didn't arrest him. His grin made the bandage on his cheek pull as he hung up the phone.

After breakfast Kaito turned to Conan and said
"Alright, what's the plan?"
"Plan?" asked Conan.
"The plan. You said something about a truce earlier, I assumed you had a plan."
"Well, first I want to know what you know about the Black Organization and why they're after you."
"That is a long story. And it starts with a magician." And so Kaito told a story about a magician who was also a thief, a thief who made his victims loose face rather than money. And how he was hired to find a particular jewel by a mysterious organization. How, once he found out what kind of people he was working for he not only canceled the deal, but he also set out to keep them from getting the jewel. How the magician was killed and eight years later his son found out and set out to find the Pandora jewel first and expose the murderers.
After the explanations were made, some plans were discussed (although they couldn't do much until Kaito had recovered from last night) and the truce started to become a partnership. The next few days were quiet as Kaito rested, recovered, and stayed out of sight. At first he was content to sleep, watch TV, and get used to his new size (He was disgusted to find out he was now slightly shorter than Conan). But as he began feeling better and his injuries healed he became restless and tired of being confined to Dr. Agasas house and having to hide whenever any one came over, as his injuries would draw a lot of unwelcome attention.
In short everything was quiet until Kaito got bored.
