(I do not own Detective Conan)

1:00 A.M. Police headquarters third floor.

Satou sat at her desk waiting for Megure to get off the phone. Ran was probably worried about Conan but Satou didn't have Mouri's number, she'd get it from Megure. The wind had not died down since midnight. Takagi had been down twice now to get coffee for them, He returned and set the cup in front of her.

"Arigatou Takagi-kun." She took it. Takagi smiled and returned to his desk, where he was bust on a case they had solved, he was just putting the files together. Satou heard a click and saw Megure had hung up.

"Megure-keibu." She got up and went over to him. "Do you have Mouri-san's cell phone number?"

"I'm not sure he has a cell." Megure shrugged. "I know his office number."

"Could you give it to me?"

"Why?" Megure asked, flipping through the number he kept.

"Nakamori Came in earlier to get it." She explained.

"I'll go give it to him then." Megure stood up, grabbed the phone book and headed to the elevator. Satou sighed and watched as Megure headed down to the second floor. Megure knocked on Nakamori's office door before giving himself the right to open it. It was locked. He turned to see one of the task force eating a sandwich.

"Oi! Where is Nakamori?" He asked.

"Nakamori-Keibu went home. Said something about a sick kid." The other informed him. Megure sighed. Aoko must've been sick. He went up to the third floor again to ask Satou why Nakamori had needed the number. Satou was talking to Takagi when he came back in so he had to pull her aside.

"Satou-san, what was it Nakamori needed?" Satou blinked.

"Did he go home already?"

"Yeah, Someone said there was a sick kid he had to take care of." Megure set his phone book back down.

"He wanted to tell Mouri-san that he had Conan."

"Why does he have Conan? Doesn't he live with Mouri?" Satou nodded.

"Well yes, but Conan got lost at tropical land today and ended up at Nakamori's. He's the sick kid." Takagi was trying his best not to eavesdrop.

"I see. I'll call Mouri-kun and let him know." Megure picked up the phone and dialed the agency number. "Mouri-kun, it's Megure, I wanted to tell you-" At that precise moment the lines went down. "Someone go flip the generator." Megure barked. Takagi hopped up and headed towards the stairs.

"So much for that." Satou muttered. Megure sat back in his chair and waited for the power to comeback.

1:00 A.M. Mouri tantei Agency

Ran was sitting on the couch by Hattori and Kazuha when the phone rang. Kogoro picked it up.

"Mouri Tantei Agency." He answered tiredly.

"Mouri-kun I wanted to tell you-" At that precise moment the lines went down.

"Who was it Tousan?" Ran asked. Mouri grabbed his coat.

"Megure, he wanted to tell me something but the lines went down. I'm gonna head over to see what he wanted."

"I'll come too." Hattori decided.

"Me too." Ran stood up. "I want to talk to Satou-keigi." Mouri nodded and took the two teenagers with him down to police headquarters. They took the stairs to the third floor.

"Megure-keibu, you wanted to tell me something." Megure had been sitting at his desk and nearly feel out when Mouri, Ran, and Hattori came in.

"Ah, hai. It's about Conan." Ran's ears perked up.

"You know he's missing?" She pushed her father aside. Megure blinked at the determined girl.

"Yes, well he's not missing actually. He's staying at Nakamori's house right now." Ran's face lit up and Hattori let out a relieved sigh.

"So he's safe?" Ran asked. Megure nodded.

"I'll give you the number and you call tomorrow morning." Megure started to scribble something down.

"Nakamori-keibu said Conan was sick." Satou informed Ran.

"Oh." Ran felt her heart sink a little, but now she knew he wasn't lost, and for that she was glad.

10:00 A.M. Nakamori household

The rain had finally stopped. The wind had died down and Conan wasn't as pale as he been the night before. Kaito opened his eyes in the dark and rubbed them. He yawned and turned over to go back to sleep but at that moment Aoko came in.

"Did Conan-kun wake up anymore during the night?" She asked setting a glass of water on the bedside table. Kaito sat up.

"Not that I know of."

"Tousan said he tried to get hold Mouri-san last night but Megure-keibu was on the phone." Aoko sat next to him.

"Megure-keibu's a busy man." Kaito yawned again.

"The power generator got destroyed last night, no one in Tokyo has power right now." Aoko sighed. "Looks like we'll be taking care of him a little while longer." Kaito blinked at the sleeping detective.

"Can't we try and drive him again later?" Aoko nodded.

"But they'll probably be out at tropical land looking for him." Kaito sighed.

"Then we'll go look for his neechan at Tropical land, ne?"

"I guess we could…" The phone rang and Aoko got up to answer it. "Looks like the lines are back up, ne?" She said before picking it up. "Moshi, Moshi. Aoko speaking."

"Is Nakamori-keibu there?"

"No, He's gone into work. May I take a message?" Aoko suggested.

"Tell him that Mouri Ran is-"

"Mouri Ran?" Aoko asked.

"Hai, who am I speaking too?"

"Nakamori Aoko. His daughter. Would you like to come get Conan-kun? We'd take him but I can't drive."

"Ah, hai! Could you give me the address?" Aoko recited her address for Ran to copy down.

"I guess I'll see you soon."

"Bye, and thank you for taking care of Conan." Ran hung up. Kaito looked back Conan.

"So he'll be going home soon?" he asked standing up.

"Yeah, I'm going to make breakfast. Want anything in particular Kaito?" She set the phone on its cradle.

"Pancakes I guess. Should I wake him up?"

"No need." A muffled response came.

"You're awake?" Aoko turned to Conan. Conan nodded, still not lifting his head from the pillow. "Does your head still hurt?" Aoko put a hand to his forehead. He still had a little bit of a fever, it wasn't as bad as it had been but, bad enough. "I'll get you some Tylenol." She headed to the kitchen.

"If I lift you off the bed will you scream at me again?" Kaito asked. Conan blinked.

"I Don't think so… but don't. My head is still pounding." He explained.

"I won't but hey, your neechan called just a few minutes ago, she's on her way."

"Really?" He asked excitedly. "Ran-neechan's coming to pick me up?" he sat up and regretted it, because his head pounded worse when it left the pillow.

"Really. Why don't you lie back down and get some more sleep?" Conan did lie down but he was too excited to sleep. A few minutes later Aoko came back in with the Tylenol and a glass of water.

"Here you are. You'll have to sit up to take it though." Conan forced himself to sit up, doing his best to ignore the pounding in his head. He took the Tylenol and swallowed a gulp of water. He then gave Aoko the glass back and hit the pillows once more, immediately the pounding subsided.

"Well I'll go make breakfast then." Aoko headed back to the kitchen.

"I'll come with you." Kaito stood up. "Where's Keiko anyway?"

"Sleeping still. She sleeps in." Aoko shut the door and Conan drifted off again.
