MD: Oh man you guys. I am so incredibly sorry! I just had a ton of trouble writing this chapter, I have no idea why!

Conan: It's been almost a whole year you stupid idiot!

MD: I know, I know! I started to get into other things, and school became distracting too. I joined my school pit for the musical and that ate up hours and hours and hours of time. We did Les Miserables and it was hard! Fun, but very very hard.

Conan: I don't get it. You started to write the chapter months ago. What happened?

MD: That was my fault. I had written a full page during Youth Symphony Orchestra rehearsal (we weren't actually rehearsing at the time, it was just a meeting). So I put it in my music binder, which I lost the next day. It was taken when I left it in the band room.

Conan: That sucks.

MD: You're telling me. After I lost it, I just couldn't rewrite it. But, earlier today, I found it! It must have fallen out of my binder and in my room before I lost my binder! I was so happy that I was able to not only continue it, but finish it too!

Conan: You really are an idiot.

MD: I know...

Conan: And as punishment, you have to do the disclaimer.

MD: O.O Nooooo. Fine, I guess I do deserve it. I do not own Detective Conan, or any of the characters. If the plot seems to resemble any other fanfictions, I'm very sorry as it was unintentional.

Conan: And now for the chapter.

MD: Finally, you loyal and wonderful/kind readers get to read the next chapter of Missing You.

Changing Face

Ran leaned closely to the wall, listening to Cider as he paced back and forth in front of the door to the room in which Conan was. She frowned as she waited, hoping he would leave for any reason at all.

"I don't think he's going to be leaving from his post Ran. He's been there since Bourbon ordered him to keep watch."

Ran's frown deepened.

"So how am I going to get to Shinichi?" she whispered as quietly as she could.

There was no answer for a minute as Dr. Agasa tried to think of anyway to avoid a confrontation with Cider, but could not think of any.

"I guess that you are going to have to get past him with force. Bourbon is across the school, so if you if defeat him quickly, you shouldn't have any problems. Just try not to make too much noise. I'll warn you if Bourbon starts to head in you direction."

Ran's frown slowly changed into a satisfied smirk. She would be able to find out if revenge was as sweet as she kept hearing.

She listened to Cider and waited until it sounded like his back was turned to her. She tensed up and got ready to pounce. Thank goodness Dr. Agasa's plan had gone flawlessly.

Ran had snuck into the building, and rather than avoid the two men in black, she had looked for them. She had found Bourbon and Cider having an argument while walking towards the room Conan was locked in. (That was how she had been able to learn their names.) Bourbon wanted Cider to guard Conan, which Cider wasn't too pleased about.

Ran had followed them until they came to their destination. Cider scowled as he took his post while Bourbon just frowned in a bored manner. As Bourbon was leaving, Ran had thrown a new kind of tracer Dr. Agasa had given her. It was black just for camouflage on the black clothes of the kidnappers. The tracers were also made to tick to any surface when moistened with saliva. She had thrown one on each of the kidnappers so that she and Dr. Agasa would know where they were at all times.

And so here she was: Dr. Agasa was keeping an eye on Bourbon and Cider, she knew where Conan was, and she was about to get some serious revenge.

Ran jumped out of her hiding place, and was thrilled to see that Cider did have his back turned to her. She immediately ran toward Cider, and gave a powerful kick to the back of his head.

Cider flew forward, but caught himself before falling down completely. He turned around, and tried to throw a punch at Ran's face. Ran barley dodged, and quickly retaliated with a punch to his stomach.

Cider blocked that, but Ran swung her leg at his feet before he could attack and knocked him down.

Just as he was getting up, Ran hit him at a pressure point, albeit a little harder than necessary.

Cider slumped to the ground, unconscious. Ran beamed triumphantly as she walked to the door Cider had been guarding. She tried to open it, but felt her heart skip a beat as she realized that it was locked.

She searched Cider for the key to the door, praying that Bourbon had trusted him with it.

Just as she was losing hope, she found a ring of keys in a hidden pocket on the inside of Cider's coat.

She tried three keys before she found the right key. She opened the door slowly, scared of what state would find Conan in.

The room was completely black and she had to wait a minute for her eyes to adjust to the darkness.

When she was finally able to see faint outlines of the room, she saw Conan slumped over in the corner. She immediately rushed over, noticing that the room was actually the school music room. She could faintly see opened cabinets full of instruments, stand racks filled completely with plastic stands on one side, and large stacks of chairs on the other. She could also see the plaques and trophies that adorned another side of the room.

She got to Conan and looked at him closely. His breathing was shallow and he was sweating, but she couldn't see and injuries or blood.

Ran carefully picked him up, and walked as quickly as she could out of the school without bumping Conan too much. Just because he didn't seem to be in too much danger, didn't mean he wasn't.

Ran smiled as she turned the corner. One more hallway and she would be able to get out of the school. Cider was still knocked out and Bourbon was on the other side of the school. Bourbon was most likely in the science rooms, since they were the farthest away from the music room.

Just as Ran was about to open the door, someone gently pushed her to the side, than stood in front of the door protectively.

Ran turned around angrily to see who was blocking the way out of the school.

It was a fairly young woman, maybe in her middle twenties. She had black hair pulled back in a braid. She wore the usual clothes of the people in the Black Organization except for a small diamond ring on her right hand. She had bright blue eyes that Ran saw were full of pain and suffering, but also determination.

"You must be Miss Mouri." the woman said, smiling. "I was wondering when you would get here."

Ran's eyes widened in surprise. How did this woman know her name? Had she been spying on Conan and her? Had the Black Organization known who Conan was all this time?

"You look surprised, dear." the woman said, still smiling. "When Conan was kidnapped, Cider had mentioned both Conan's identity and a girl with him during the kidnapping to Bourbon, who in turn informed me of these discoveries. I decided to do some research on Mr. Kudo's friends and family. If it makes you feel any better, no one but me, Bourbon, and Cider know about any of this."

Ran was again surprised. There was something strange about this woman. She seemed so calm. She didn't seem threatening, angry, or anything. And she hadn't informed to her boss or whatever about Shinichi. What was going on?

"Who are you?" Ran finally asked, clutching Conan a little tighter and keeping a weary eye on the woman.

"My name is Margarita. I suggest that you put Mr. Kudo there down. I doubt that you can fight with him in your hands. And I'm sure that you don't want him to get hurt any more than he already is." Margarita said, no longer smiling, but looking thoughtful.

Ran frowned, but knew that margarita was right. She set Conan down gently, never taking her eyes off of Margarita. She than stood in a fight stance, waiting to see what Margarita would do.

Margarita brought up a small device and said into it, "Bourbon, Cider, I need you both here near the exit of the school. And move quickly!"

Ran jumped at the change in Margarita's voice, than panicked. She wouldn't be able to fight all of them at once!

Ran quickly attacked Margarita, hoping to finish her before the other two got there.

Margarita just smiled and defended herself against all of Ran's attacks. She didn't try to attack Ran once, just continued to block all of Ran's attacks with ease.

Suddenly, Bourbon and Cider slid around the corner of the hall. Bourbon was frowning, looking annoyed while Cider was clutching his head and looking angry.

Margarita shot a side glance at them, then gave Ran a powerful punch in the stomach.

Ran was pushed back and slumped over, clutching her stomach. She heard a metallic click and looked up into the barrel of a gun. Margarita just gave her a smile that seemed to be full of pity.

"I'm sorry that you have to see this Miss Mouri." Margarita said apologetically.

And with that, Margarita turned around and shot Bourbon and Cider, hitting them both straight through their hearts.
