Chapter 14
Opening the door a young woman comes out with black hair and bangs that part in the middle of her forehead. She turns her head around looking for an adult and is taken aback to see two children instead. Noticing the tears and scared faces of the foreign looking kids she bends down and says "Hello?,"
"…."
"Are you two alright where are your parents?"
Conan right away jumps into actions, tears start to fall and slid down his check. " Miss please help us! A man came into our room with a gun and our mama isn't here a-and and and-"
The young woman eyes widen at what the boy was telling her. "- and we were able to knock him out. Could we please stay with you till our mama comes back?"
"o-of course but I need to call hotel security." The lady runs back into the room quickly dialing security unaware that Conan sprinting back to the hotel room putting one bullet back into the gun. Rushing back he notice the lady finished hanging up the phone which he then precedes to slowly walk back to the door.
The young lady then bends down to the two children level, looking at the girl who appears to be the oldest of the two "Okay now can you point our which one is your room?"
Haibara raise her finger and point it into the dark room at the end of the hallway. The woman begins to walk towards it hesitantly shooing the kids to her room but both of them follower her ignoring her protest. She sticks out her foot and pushes the door slowly. Her eyes visibly widen at seeing the man on the floor unconscious. Her eyes scans the room, seeing the gun she picks it up and runs quickly out into the hallway with the two strange foreign kids watching her every action as they wait for security to arrive.
When the security team arrives they pick up the hired member and drag him away. The manager then talks to the lady asking her not to mention or press charges against the hotel about the man who appeared to be the hotel manager. The lady tried to protest and say that this wasn't even her room but once she mention that no charges were going to be press the man made a quick escape thanking her and saying that her stay in the hotel would be free.
The lady sighs and rubs her blearily eyes muttering about service you receive when their 5 star rating was threatened to drop. She then remembers of the two small children that have asked for her help were no longer in the hotel room. She turns her head around scanning for blond hair or dirty blond hair. When she didn't see either she walks out into the hallway thinking that they were waiting for her there. A little bit of panic starts to settle in her stomach when she once again fails to find the young children. She jogs to her room and breathe a sigh of relief when she sees the two children sleeping on her bed.
She moves to wake up the girl but stops when she sees the peaceful look on her face. A frown appears on her face recalling what the boy said earlier about their parent not being their but sleep deprived and disapproval for the parent leaving the kids alone in the first place caused her to consider finding the parent of these two a problem that she could deal with in the morning.
The next day Conan POV
Gasp! Sweat trickled down his face as he recalled the lifeless eyes of Akemi. He starts to shake and think of how he was going to tell Haibara the news. He then recalls where he was and saw the lady that help arrest the hired member and Haibara to be missing. He hears the shower running and a woman's voice talking. He slides off the bed sheets and reach into his pocket feeling the photos that he knows will only cause grief.
A light hits his eyes and he realizes that the curtains were slightly open and the sunlight hit the silver suitcase that contained the billion yen that Akemi had died for. He walks over to the backpack that has traveled with them through their journey and hides in the hidden pockets anything that could cause problems in the future like their gun or his lock picking set.
He yawns as he remembers talking to the hotel assistants and asking them to bring the suitcases into the room.
He easily manipulated the workers from taking to the lady and asking questions when he childishly mention about how their hotel would lose its five star rating, and they would probably get fired for allowing a crazy man to pretend to be a hotel manager, and how people would demand their money back, and the chances of getting a law suit, etcetera.
The bathroom door creaks open and he see Haibara and the lady both dress and ready. He looks down at his appearance to see that he slept with the same clothes he wore yesterday. A black shirt that used to have to sleeves and thick denim jeans that were a little torn from wear contrasted the clean and sort of new clothes that the girls were wearing.
"Ah, Conan- Kun right? Did you get a nice sleep?" The lady's voice was warm and kind, but did little to stop the suspicion of how she knows his name. His eyes trail to Haibara who was standing next to her and he immediately belittle himself for being too paranoid, most likely Haibara told her.
Conan slowly nods. "Good then go on and take a shower. When you're done getting ready we will talk about finding your parent okay?"
"Okay Miss…?"
"It's Hatamoto Natuse."
"Okay , Natuse-san"
Natuse gives a smile and a small laugh unlike Haibara who immediately started laughing at Conan. Conan face only scrunches up in confusion wondering what is so funny.
"Conan, Natuse is my first name and Hatamoto is my last name. It is correct to call me Hatamoto-san."
Red face from his blunder after forgetting the customs in Japan Conan quickly nods and rushes to the door where he then gets ready for the day.
Opening the bathroom door he carries his dirty clothes in his arms and drops them on the bed as he bends down to tie his shoes. Currently in the room Haibara was laying on the bed watching television and Natuse was downstairs gathering information from the front desk about their missing 'parent'.
Bending down to tie his left shoe he hears the bed sheets ruffle and a sigh.
"Couldn't you at least fold your clothes when you leave the bathroom? Your mountain of clothes blocks my view from the television." Haibara complains.
Conan cracks a smile and only mutters a sorry as he reaches to tie his right shoe. He hears more ruffles from the bed and a sharp inhale of air. Standing up the blood slowly drains from his face. He guesses that Haibara was folding his clothes in a rare gesture of kindness only to find two bloody photos of her family.
He looks, closes his eyes and squeeze his eyes when he hear the question he was dreading the most.
"Why do you have this?" Haibara's voice was calm but was obviously concealing her true feelings.
"I-"his voice cracked unable to answer her question.
"Conan, Where did you get this?!" Haibara screams at Conan.
"Akemi-"he takes a deep breath.
"-She wanted to give them to you." Haibara continues to remain silent.
"Yesterday I went to go find her but I-I wastoolate." He rushed the last of the sentence unable to keep his voice calm. "She was one of the members in the billion yen robbery by the order of the organization. She was to exchange the money for your freedom. But she was shot by G-Gin and I couldn't save her. She said for me to tell you that she loves you and that she was sorry for not being able to free you sooner or enjoy together your new freedom. Haibara I am so sor-"
SLAP. Conan head turns to the left from the slap of her hand and his head continues to face down at the ground unable to see Haibara eyes water and the salty tears fall from her cheek. Her face was scrunched up and showed a face of pure agony.
Haibara grabs onto Conan from the bed shaking him as she yells at him. "How dare you apologize! You aren't even worthy of asking for forgiveness! You knew yet you kept this away from me! When were you ever going to tell me?! How could you keep this away from me?! Why did you lie to me?! Why did you not save her?!" she began to pound at Conan chest but weakly slide down from the bed covers her face falling gently to the bed, the sound of her wails reduce by the sheets.
A few minutes later the hotel door open to reveal a smiling Natuse but it turns into a face of concern as she rushes over to grab Haibara still crying and cradle her in her arms. "It will be okay. Shhh let it all out." Natuse looks over to Conan to see him standing still with tears sliding down his red cheek. She frowns wondering what had happen but continues to comfort and rub Haibara's back.
After successfully calming down the girl she turns her around and ask "Now could you tell me what was it that made you so sad?"
Haibara darted her eyes down quickly catching a glance of a panic Conan. Silence followed and when Natuse was about to open her mouth she was interrupted by "Our okaa-san never coming back. She abandoned us."
Natuse's eyes wide at the statement "Don't say that!…even if she did leave you two know that you are still cared for and loved. What in the world made think that?"
Haibara slowly reaches in the cover to pull out a photo. Natsue gasps; slowly reaching for the photograph Haibara is handing her she pulls Haibara to her closer. The photo that was already splattered with blood now has water marks and evidence of small fingernails clutching the edges.
Natuse takes in the image of their suppose mother, who had brown hair, hugging Haibara in the image. She paid little attention to the fact that Conan was not in the picture but focus more on the blood that decorated the image.
Her heart accelerated at the thought of what was going on and the fact of where in the world they got the photo in the first place.
"Where did you find this picture Haibara?" Natsue whispers.
"In the hallway. But who is going to take care of us? If we go to the police then they will separate me and my brother! I don't want to lose him too!"
Conan breaking his silence grabs onto Natsue; tears evident in his eyes "Please lets us stay with you!"
"A-Ah,...tsk oh how can I say no? I will take you in only if we tell the police your mother is missing okay? don't worry I will make sure you two stay with me, but I need to tell my Oji-sama and the rest of my family that you two are coming on the cruise with me tomorrow. And of course I need to tell my fiancé, I don't want him to think anything now do I?" Natsue winks to the kids that are staring at her with confusion unable to understand her joke.
"Onee-chan you're getting married?"Haibara tilts her head up to look at her.
"Yes, now look at the time if I want you to come with me tomorrow we need to get going."
"Going where?"
"to the store you two need to look adorable for my wedding right?"
