It's kind of all pointless,you know?

But i want to give ideas away,so

yes,i'm bored,that's all this is.

Heiji groggily opened his eyes and felt familiar freedom between his lips after being gagged for so long.
His whole neck hurt - his wrists were bruised and he didn't feel his fingers.
Even though his mind was still half asleep and he had a feeling it was just some serious reserves of adrenaline he was running on,he remembered one thing.

Supposedly,the antitoxin for his friend's poison was on the table.

Supposedly he could escape if he was fast enough.

Supposedly he probably had some sort of tracker on him so better find it,take it off and get out of this place.

His feet balanced on the ground and he grabbed as much of the weird 'anti-' vials he could handle and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

The corridors were getting narrow, or maybe his vision was playing tricks on him.
He knew he had one objective, but all of a sudden his thoughts were going to strange directions every time he turned around a corner in the dangerous maze.

*you are useless*
*what are you even doing?*
*you never do anything right,just give up*
*stop running*
*no one will appreciate you,why do you even go on?*
*give up*
* .*

...Stop! Stop thinking! Hattori! Get out of there!

He reached the only open door after what felt like hours and slid down the nearest closed safe wall he could find.

*Bzzz-Bzzzt*

Repeated ring of his ringnote prayed his eyes open.
It was past noon by the looks of it,yet he still felt tired.

*Bzzz-Bzzzt*

He blinked away the sleep and looked at the blurry caller id.
'Kudo'

Immediately he went into panic mode.
Did these guys took the number off him and tracked Kudo?
Did he still have the anti vials with him?
He checked his pockets frantically and the vials were still all around him.
Good.

He diverted his attention to his phone again. It was definitely hard to concentrate.

*Beep*

"Hello?Hattori? Are you there?" The familiar voice of a really serious kid entered his ears.

"Shi...Nichi?" Hattori didn't even realize how hard it was to talk. "Shi..."

...

It was probably the amount of screaming he tried to achieve with the gag on that made it like this.

"Hattori?Why do you sound like that?You have a cold or something?And where exactly are you?"

You could tell Kudo was irritated. Hattori almost laughed at his angry little voice, so full of seriousness, but he wasn't in the best situation now.

He didn't trust his mind. He lost focus on the conversation and was wondering how happy his friend will be when he gets his 'medicine'. He felt like giggling,

he felt like crying,

he felt so much at the same time.

He could only croak out an even weaker,broken sound

"S...Hini...Schinich..i..." He almost smiled from relief from even saying it to his friend. Hehe,he felt so light...

The words were mixing with some other voices he didn't recognize, Kudo's voice barely making it through.

"Heiji,what's up with you? Where are you?! What happened?"

"Heiji! Heiji,Where are you right now?! "

the voices started again...
Heiji let his hand down letting the phone hit the ground and end the conversation.

*No one wants you*
*It would be better if you died here*
*None of these vials you tried so desperately to protect will work. You aren't helping*
*Just die here*
*Give up*

The voices echoed in Heiji's mind.

His phone was ringing and vibrating again,but it wasn't enough to wake him up again this time.

Shinichi was wide eyed. His connection to Hattori was just cut off and even then he only heard his friends broken voice.
This felt so wrong.
Today's day felt so wrong.

The only thing he succeed in was prying some info from Kazuha that his friend didn't want to bring her around anymore since she was,
apparently,

'too annoying'

and that he was going on a case alone.
Was his friend in danger from that case?

and was that only because he was alone?or...

He wouldn't...There was no way Heiji Hattori would lose to some trick or a criminal.

He survived a shot to the stomach,he survived falling to the ocean,hanging down a cliff,a house fire,
he survived a bombing and even freaking jumping across a whole waterfall to safety.

There was NO way.
It had to be something bigger.
He dialed a number to the Professor to track him down. Now he may get to know exactly what's going on if he meets his friend. If only it wasn't too late.

Heiji woke up again,feeling a bit better. He noticed he was far away from the Black Organization hideout,near some kind of field and at the center there was a lonely wooden house,looking abandoned.

Heiji took all of the vials he stole and his items in his pocket of the battered and dirtied jacket.
He felt like he was walking on air, voices going back and forth in his head, his focus somewhere else. He slowly felt his mind going in the right order again as he got closer to the potential safe-house. ...If he managed to fix himself up enough to go three steps without swaying he might even play it off when he goes back!

Wait.

Crap,the phone call.

Shinichi probably knows something's up.

Hell,i hope he doesn't come here.

*But low-key i do*

*I want him to tell me how worthless i am*

*I'm only getting in the way*

*I'm not needed here...*

Even if he plays it off,he will never get Kudo off his back.

Whatever,he went for all of this shit just for this dude to go back to normal.
If he was important enough,it won't be a problem.

He got closer to the door, feeling steady enough to enter the house. He needed it right now,
besides-the house didn't have an owner by the looks of it.

Once he is inside he will take a look at these vials and see if any of them resemble an anti-toxin for Shinichi.

Yup,sounds like a plan.

He stood for few minutes, pulling his weight onto the wall and then sliding down feeling his skin burning again.

"This again..." He grabbed at his jacket,clenching his fists and making himself as small as possible.
Whatever they used on him was apparently effective.

Well,at least he didn't end up like Kudou.

*It will only get worse you know*

*Just die and give up*

*You are worthless,Hattori*

The voices resonated louder in his mind,bringing both a headache and waves of pain.

...It's ok,just need to wait it out and give my friend all these.

He will wait as long as he needs to.
