The next day at Haido City, Shingo and Kaji are at an apartment buliding across form Nina's residence on stakeout. Kaji was looking at her apartment through the telescope while eating some instant noodles. Shingo was listing in to the Haido police radio. It seems that Haido police wanted to nab Nina before Section 1. Head of the Operation was Miho Karasuma.

What's the progress? Eri conntacted them.

Nothig so far Shingo responded.She just sending out emails

Kisaki, Why don't we just bust in there and and nab the woman Kaji said irrated.

No Eri said then she sent a profile and records. I'm still looking into Tucker's background, it seems that when they fired her. They seized all of her records and experiments.

So, after she left the HLF She went ahead and did cyberbrain research Shingo Said and he grabbed a cup of instan noodles. so did she fight to get the rights after she got fired?

No, The Serano Lawyers are very powerfull in both Niihama and Tokyo. But she never fought for the rights. Couldn't if she wanted to.

Sad, Kaji said as Shingo handed him the cup of noodles. How's Sato and Takagi?'

They are finishing up with the security details Eri said. After the Law is passed there's going to be a press conferance later on

So who's going to invited? Shingo asked as he stuffed his mouth with noodles.

Well, THe CEO of Serano couldn't make it Eri informed them. There's the president of Nichiuri, Douglas' security team, a couple of police of military officals

What about the Suzuki Zaibatsu? Kaji asked

Well, Mr. and Mrs. Suzuki couldn't make because they are at Holland Eri explained.

"Oh crap" Shingo said outloud.

"What?" Kaji taking his eyes from the telescope and looked at Shingo.

Meanwhile at Teitan High School. Ran was looking at the sky and holding her cell phone. It odd that Shinichi is gone while Motoko need his help with a case. Maybe he's at Niihama solving that Laughing man case. Then Her cellphone rings She picks it up.

"Hey Ran" A familiar voice appeared on the cell'

"Shinichi?" Ran said already pissed that her called her in the middle of school. "Why are you calling at this time of day?"

"Gee, can't a guy say hi?" Shinchi complained.

"Well not if someone who hasn't called in a week" Ran said

Hey, Hey, I'am still on this case oversees Shinichi said. I wish i chould be there.

"Yeah right." Ran snorted then she remembered the Major. "Oh Shinichi did you get my message about Ms. Kunsanagi?"

Yeah, She said that she wanted help with a case dealing with the Dividuals.Shinichi said. Conan told most of it, so I see what I can do.

"Shinichi." Ran scolded. Then She remember she wanted to tell shinichi. "Shinichi, there's something odd about her."

Like what? Shinichi said knowing the answer.

"Well She keeps asking about Conan" Ran explained.

Conan?

"Yeah" Ran Continued. "She wanted to know who was his parents, how long has been with us. Things like that."

Then on the phone the bell rings. "Sorry Ran I have to go"

"Shinichi, wait" But it was too late He already hung up. Ran put her cell phone away. Then Megumi and Sonoko was looking at her with an evil smile. "What?"

"Shinichi, wait" Sonoko mimiced her. i want to tell that I love you Right?"

"No, no Sonoko, it wasn't like that" Ran trying stray away from talking about Shinichi.

"I've also heard something about a woman named Motoko" megumi said. "so who is she?"

"She's just a friend to the Kudos and Mouri's" Then Sonoko looked at Ran. "And Shinchi's lover"

"Sonoko" Ran was getting annoyed.

"Oh yeah before I forget" Megumi had pulled out some papers with the press conferance of The Cyborg Anti-Discrimination Law with the American Empire's Senator Douglas."

"And yours truly, The Suzuki Corperation's heir is invited to the press conferance." Sonoko boasted.

"That's odd," Ran remembered something. "My dad said that he has case relating to press conferance."

" I wonder what is it about?" Sonoko wondered.

"I think it has something to to with that letter" Megumi said.

"What letter?" Ran looked at her.

"Well a week ago, when we was visting Ayato's mother." Megumi recalled the event then she move closer so that no one in the . "We was staying at he estate in Niihama, unitl someone sent a letter threating to assassinate him when He sings the new law. So Mrs. Kamina had called someone from here to help her privately, I don't think that she told Haruka about it. Knowing her she whould of send Section 1 and the whole police in Tokyo after the assassin"

"Wait,Ran " Sonoko just of something. "Didn't you mother and Officer Tsukino went to Niihama awhile back"

"You don't think that?" Megumi wondered.

"No maybe it was something else" Ran brushed off. Ran knew that her mother was part of Section 1. Maybe her and the unit is trying to do something about the assassin.

Later on that Day. at Dr. Agasa's house. Souta came into the lab. Conan was playin with his soccor ball, Ai was at the computer hacking into the police records looking up what Section 1 is doing.

"Souta" Conan greeted him as he was still kicking the ball. "You made it."

"Took you long enough" Ai snorted at she was still facing the computer.

"Well, give me a break, I live halfway across Tokyo." Souta said then he turn his attention to Conan. "Shinichi, what's up?"

"Well we found some infomation on the Dividuals" Conan said finnaly taking a break. "Seems that they are making there move on the Prime Minster."

"What?" Souta half shock and half happy. "Why?"

"You don't know?" Ai asked him. Souta nodded no. "Well there will be a new law regaurding the protection from discrimation of people with cyberbrains and prosetic limbs." Ai brought up on the screen Nina's profile. Souta came to look.

"Whos that?" Souta asked.

"That's Nina Tucker an engeneer from Suzuki/Serano Zaibatsu" Conan continued. "Due to being part of the HLF she was fired because of that."

"So what does this have to do with us?" Souta asked.

"Eariler today, I've overheard Kogoro saying something about the purple haird woman being a Dividual" Conan continued. "But in fact she's a close friend of mine. The other day she wanted to see me to help her with the Dividual case."

"What about ther Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta." Souta asked.

"Well," Ai turned around facing them. "Since you know who we really are and you actual do your work seriously. We picked you."

"Besides" Conan looked at him. "It whould be dangerous for them. And Me and Ai are the only ones that have a cyberbrain. So you're the perfect canidate.'

"Besides" Ai looked at Souta. "She'll be there."

"Oh Aneki?" Souta looked at them and Conan smiled. Everyone knows that he has a crush on Sonoko. But Sonoko just looked at Souta as a brother she never had. Besides she's too old for him. Outside in a blue sedan. The Major was watching the house. Then She drove off.
