Chapter sixteen
Celebration turns into a Tragedy

"Kudo Shinichi, that was a great act you put on, acting like you wanted to stop the KID from getting married to a woman that's not even yours," a blonde-haired woman said.

"Wha…what are you talking about?" Shinichi asked the woman.

"You can't fool me, my name is Vermouth, and unlike those fools over there, I'm not an idiot!" Vermouth said.

"So, I'll be taking Mouri Ran, Gin, you get the KID's wife!" she ordered, running out of the building to look for Ran.
…
"AOKO!" Kaito screamed, as Gin grabbed Aoko's wrist, and dragged her with him.
"I got the other girl, in case she turns out to be a problem," Vodka said, as he grabbed Kazuha, before Heiji could stop him.

…

"We need to think of a plan," Kaito said, poker face in tact, while Heiji and Shinichi wore worried looks.

"NO, SHIT WE GOTTA GET THE GIRLS BACK!" Heiji snapped at Kaito, "HOW CAN YOU STAND THERE AND NOT WORRY?"

"I am worried, this is my famous poker face, so if you think I don't care…" Kaito started.

"Enough, you two, we don't have time to argue, we have to save Aoko and Kazuha, and hopefully find Ran before that woman," Shinichi said, getting in between the two boys.

"…You're right," Heiji agreed, pulling up a chair, and falling down onto it, "What should we do?"

"…" Kaito sighed, pulling up a chair beside Heiji.

"We should follow them, it's the only thing we can do at this point," Shinichi said, walking to the door, and waiting for Heiji and Kaito to follow.

…With Vermouth…

"So, Mouri Ran, you thought you could get away from marrying KID just like that, huh? Well, I won't let you, you're coming with me, and if Kudo, the other detective boy, and the KID don't do whatever I tell them to do, you and the other two girls are going to die!" Vermouth threatened, as Ran backed up from the woman.

"…You have Aoko and Kazuha…" Ran gasped, stopping in her tracks, leaving enough time for Vermouth to grab her arm. "HA! I GOT YOU!" Vermouth yelled, when a black car pulled up, and opened the door from inside for Vermouth to get in with the girl.

…

"Kudo, they got away in a black sedan !" Heiji exclaimed.

"They probably went to go after Ran," Kaito suggested.

"Well, we can use my car," Shinichi said, running back into the restaurant to go to the other entrance, where his car was located at.

…

"Kaito, get in the car, you're riding with us!" Heiji ordered, getting in the passenger seat, Shinichi in the driver's seat, leaving Kaito to the back seat.

…

"RAN!" Kazuha exclaimed, looking at her friend.

"Oh, no, now they have all of us!" Aoko whined, "It's all my fault for not going to Kaito's stupid ball!"

"It's not your fault, but there's nothing we can do now, but wait on the guys…" Ran sighed.
"Yeah, but…" Kazuha started.

"Will you three shut up? It's bad enough I'm sitting back here with you, but your blabbering doesn't help!" Vermouth snapped, causing Kazuha to shut her mouth.

"Hey, Ran, isn't that Shinichi's car?" Aoko whispered to her look alike, as she looked out the back window.

"Yeah, and Heiji's with him, and there's someone in the back seat!" Ran said, excitedly.
"That must be Kaito!" Aoko smiled.

"WHAT?" Vermouth yelled, "SPEED UP, GIN, THOSE BRATS ARE FOLLOWING US!"

"Alright," Gin agreed, and sped up the black car.

…

"SHINICHI, SPEED UP, OR THEY'LL GET AWAY!" Heiji ordered, frantically.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Kaito smirked, pulling what appeared to be a gun out of his pocket, and leaning out the window, shooting at the wheels at the car in front of them.

…

"They're shooting at us!" Vermouth said, watching the car trailing behind them.

"THEY'RE WHAT? I BET IT'S KAITO!" Aoko shrieked.

"…We're almost there!" Vodka assured from the front seat, as Gin took a sharp turn, sending everyone tumbling to the right.

"…"Vermouth sighed, as she tried to sit up, only to be thrown to the left, by another sharp turn.

"Sorry 'bout that!" Gin apologized, "Have we lost 'em yet? 'Cause we're here."

"They're gone," Vermouth confirmed, opening the door, and getting out, pulling Ran with her.

"I got the Osaka girl, Vodka, you get the KID's!" Gin said, as he grabbed Kazuha's arm, and followed Vermouth into the tall building.

…

"Urgh, WE LOST 'EM!" Shinichi growled, slamming the breaks, as he reached a red light.

"No, we didn't, I shot a transmitter onto the car, and at the moment, they've stopped. So…it should be easy to catch up, at this light take a right!" Kaito ordered, looking at the tracker device in his hands.

"Alright, Kaito, you're the boss," Shinichi agreed, as he took the turn.

A.N.: Another great chapter by Jazzy Uchiha. What will happen next? Will they really catch up with the BO? Or will there be another trap awaiting them? As usual, the more the reviews, the faster the next update will come. X) bye! – choco-flavour
