Chapter seventeen Rescue Mission

(Shinichi's POV)

About 5 minutes later, we stopped at an old, tall building. Sure enough, there was the car that the Black Org. used to get away in. I guess Kaito isn't that bad a guy, if he's gonna help us get Ran and the others back!

"…The girls must be inside," Hattori finished, opening the car door, about to get out.

"WAIT! You can't just barge in there! We need a plan," I grabbed Heiji's arm, preventing him from leaving the car. Sometimes, I wonder what's going through this guy's head. He's supposed to be a detective, he knows we need a plan, I swear I don't know how Kazuha puts up with him 24/7.

"Something could happen to the girls by then!" Heiji argued. Someone help me, I can't deal with Hattori all by myself in this situation, I have too much to worry about.

"…Hattori…" I started.

"They wouldn't do anything to the girls yet, because more than likely they'll bribe us with them," Kaito explained, obviously seeing my impatience, "So we should sneak into the building. One person go untie the girls, the other two go after the three from the organization."

"Alright, then Kudo and I can go after those three goons and Kaito, you can untie the girls, since you have more tricks up your sleeves," Hattori finished planning.

In the house

(Normal POV)

"Aoko, do you think they're going to kill us?" Kazuha asked.

"I don't know…" Aoko trailed off.

"Hello, ladies, are you ready to leave this place?" a voice whispered in the dark room.

"Who's there?" Ran asked.

"Kaito, is that you?" Aoko questioned.

(Kaito's POV)

"Yeah, it's me, shh, I'm gonna get yall out of her here," I said, and untied the girls.

"Where are Shinichi and Heiji?" Ran asked worriedly.

"They're going after the guys that kidnapped you," I explained. This is kinda strange, shouldn't there be guards or something? Something isn't right.

"We need to hurry up, and get out of here. Go straight, and you'll see a door, that's the way out. Get in Shinichi's car, and lock the doors!" I ordered.

"But, Kaito, what about you?" Aoko asked me.

"I've got to help the others, we'll catch up later!"

With Heiji and Shinichi

(Normal POV)

"KAITO!" Heiji exclaimed, when he spotted the thief.

"Where are the girls?" Shinichi asked.

"I sent them to the car, so I could help you two fight," Kaito explained. At this point, the two detectives and the thief faced Gin, Vermouth, and Vodka.

"Do you actually think you can beat us?" Vermouth asked, as she pulled out a gun, and aimed it at Shinichi.

"KUDO, LOOK OUT!" Heiji yelled, and pushed the Detective of the East out of the way.

In the end, the Black Organization was defeated.

(Shinichi's POV)

I can't believe these were the people who turned me into a little kid, it seems like so long ago.

"Shinichi, we called the police, they'll be here soon, and said we could go. I don't think these three will be going anywhere, since we did a job on them," Heiji smirked.

"Yeah, let's go, the girls probably miss us," I agreed.

Hours later

(Normal POV)

"I'm glad that's over. I thought for sure they were going to kill us!" Kazuha exclaimed, as she sat on her couch in the hotel she shared with Heiji.

"I did too," Ran agreed, sitting beside Kazuha on the couch.

"…I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt. The more I stand over here, and watch Aoko; a question keeps buzzing in my head," Kaito said.

"Huh? What is it?" Aoko asked, and everyone turned to look at the 18-year old.

"Aoko, my beautiful Aoko, will you marry me?" Kaito asked, kneeling in front of the girl, with a red rose in his hand.

"Kaito...Kaito, I…of course I will!" Aoko cried, taking the rose from the man of her dreams, and gave him her brightest smile.

"Then, why don't we get married tomorrow? We already have your dress, as well, as the place, and you hair still looks great!" Kaito smiled, before Aoko could protest.

"You're right, how about tomorrow morning at 10?" Aoko suggested.

"NO!" Shinichi objected.

"Why? Shinichi, what's wrong?" Ran asked, confused as of why her childhood friend was behaving this way.

"Because I want you to marry me, Ran. I came so close to losing you, I don't want that to happen again," Shinichi explained, "Heiji, you might as well, propose to Kazuha now, because you know you're in love with her!"

"Yeah, I know, so, ahou, will you marry me?" Heiji asked, throwing a small, black box at the pony-tailed girl.

"Heiji, you already had a ring? Did you plan this?" Kazuha asked in awe.

"…That's for me to know, only," Heiji replied.

"So, what'll it be, Ran?"

"You know it's yes, Shinichi," Ran smiled, and hugged him.

"Same here, Heiji," Kazuha said, her green eyes sparkling with delight.
