Weeeoooo WEEeooo...
What's this: sirens?
A few cop cars passed by where we were. I turned back to the group. The one that called herself Haruka Haruhara had sped off from the scene on what appeared to be my motor cycle which happened to be parked near-by. I noticed the little detective press some button on his shoe which started making a whistling sound.
"Quick, Sonoko, lend me your shoes," Conan said. She took her heels off. The boy kicked it toward the guitar girl, but it couldn't reach. Though, the kicked shoe was close to target.
"Hurry we've got to...," I was cut off by Ran.
"Leave it to commissioner Takagi for now, something big is happening down the street. Let's check it out."
"...Alright."
I, Lelouche Lamparouge, stopped a car in the street and went to commandeer it.
"Hey!"
"Don't worry I've got it," Sonoko shoved some bills into the driver's hand and gave a card with contact measures.
Haruhi and I looked to each other: rich people.
...
We finally caught up to the police convoy thanks to Sonoko. The area of the scene of the crime was already yellow-taped. We could see what looked to be a tractor trailer slammed into the side of a building with people running away from the collision. A barricade was set up already.
What happened here? Is this the work of Akumetsu? We had our answer almost immediately.
On the parapet stood the now familiar silhouette: "this building housed a factory responsible for children's toys. They bribed the local authorities and carelessly left a significant amount of lead in their toys. Who is paying for this mistake when it was found out? Not the owners but the factory workers and their supervisors who had no idea they were poisoning the children."
Lelouche ran through the barricade (quite clumsily I must say). I was pushed out of the way by the guards. Ran and Sonoko were behind me somewhere, but I got separated from them.
We were short on time so I pushed through to get to the other side. After five stories of running we had reached the top. I looked quickly behind me to see if Lelouche had made it to the top yet. He came up stumbling and grabbing his chest (just how out of shape is he?)
In front of where we stood we could see the victim kneeling to the ominous Akumetsu.
