"Haruto...thank goodness you were here, your experience as a sniper really helped with that helicopter like thing that they had, and your bomb experience..."

"I know, that was a V-22 Osperay by the way in regards to the helicopter, I still don't know how I managed to take that thing down in that we forced the enemy to retreat and dealt with the bombs as well"

"We got lucky"

"We did, by the way the FBI is heading to PSB headquarters, it's the safest place for Jodie and Camel to find out about my survival"

"So you're telling them then?"

"I have no other choice in the matter, for reasons I can't get into yet I just can't wait any longer, by the way how has the PSB been what with..."

"The two impostors?" (sighs) "it hasn't been easy that's for sure, and a hidden ally has kept us from being killed at least twice by warning us about the imposter before they got us, actually getting injured once protecting me, it was just a flesh wound fortunately but still..."

"I see...did the person who saved you give a name?"

"Yes, but unfortunately there haven't been many leads with that name"

"What name did they use?"

"That's part of the problem, the name is so strange that it's hard to trace"

"What's the name?"

"Hattoruba Kaishin"

"Hattoruba Kaishin? I agree that's a name that's so strange that it's hard to...trace..." (thinks) "NO...WAY, it's not possible, not after all this time, there's simply no way it could be him, he would have informed the three of us sooner if it was, I may have been a few days late but that's to be expected, he's MONTHS late...and yet...we're the only two who know that code name, the name of the three detectives and one thief who helped us even if two of them were really only deeply involved in the end of things what with Kudo doing his best to protect Hattori, though it helped that Hattori mainly stayed in Osaka and thus off their radar for the most part"

Akai thinks back to the agreement made long ago when they first came up with the name

Past

"You know, it might not be such a bad idea to also have a specific code name just for the two of us even if it turns out anyone else remembers the future, that ways we at least are aware of potential impostors, especially with you faking your death and becoming Okiya Subaru"

"True, but you might also be at risk depending on various actions of people in the future"

"You have a point, thus why I want a code name that only the two of us know about but still has significance to us"

"Yeah, hm..."

Ultimately it's Akai that comes up with the name, but only because of the fact that Furuya was having trouble combining different names into one that made any sort of sense yet would still be recognized as the code name

"Got it"

"What?"

"Hattoruba Kaishin"

"Wait, that's..."

"Yep, four names for four people who were important in the end"

"The three detectives and the thief who helped take down the Black Organization"

"Helps that Kudo got involved in the fight after they shrunk him and that KID got involved because of a seperate branch trying to kill him, though we only found out later than we would have otherwise"

"True, and you can't really blame Hattori for being out of the action for the most part because Kudo made sure of that, plus distance also kept Hattori safe"

"As it did for Hakuba as well if I recall correctly"

"In any case we have our code name, if anything happens like being thought dead for a long period of time that isn't the planned presumed death we use that name and it will alert the other to the fact that we survived the ordeal"

"Still...we should agree on how long to wait until we use that name"

"Hm...let's say if we don't hear from each other after a month the next time we meet we use that name"

"Agreed, though we should find a way to communicate with each other as soon as possible"

"True, so...five months and then we have to actually see each other to believe it's us?"

"Yes, even if we're the only two who knows that name better safe than sorry"

"Then we're agreed then"

Present

He suddenly snaps out of his thoughts due to Kazami

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine...just...do you have a possible address for this Hattoruba?"

"No, at least not a real address, the one he gave was a dead end"

"I see...guess I'll just have to wait and see if they show up again won't I?"

"Yes you will, now then come on I'll give you a ride to the PSB and then make sure that the room is soundproof and just the four of you FBI agents"

"No...I want you involved too, at least in explaining the Haruto identity"

"Okay I can do that"

An hour later and the five of them were in the private room

"You wished to speak with us Kazami?"

"Actually it's mainly Haruto who wanted to speak with you guys but I have some things I need to talk to you about as well"

"Haruto...you're that sniper that recently joined the PSB aren't you?"

"Yes, though actually, Haruto isn't my true name, and neither is another name that I go by either"

"Oh?"

"Yes, agents Jodie and Camel you two know me by another name, and James we are so going to be discussing payment and other agreements once this conversation is over with"

"Agreed, though to be honest from what I understand you've been getting consulting fees from the PSB"

"That may be so, but once I oust myself we may need to come up with a new agreement and you know it, a means of making things more equal"

"You win"

That's when Jodie interrupts the two of them annoyed that Akai (she didn't yet know it was him) was speaking so informally with James and James was allowing it while also being cryptic

"Wait, you can't speak so casually with our boss, even if you are a PSB agent"

"Except Haruto isn't a PSB agent, and like he said his name isn't actually Haruto, I think it's time to take off the disguise Akai"

"Agreed"

And with that a few moments later one Akai Shuichi was in front of Jodie and Camel once more

"But...but we identified you with Conan's phone, Kir killed you, though in her debrief she mentioned that it was the only way...wait she said something that was strange now that I think about it"

"Oh, what did she say?"

"She said 'I'm surprised that the silver bullet isn't here...oh...I see, it isn't time yet is it?' and James simply nodded"

"She was mentioning the fact that I was alive in a discreet manner but that I hadn't revealed myself yet"

"Wait, you said that you had another name?"

"Yes thanks to Conan I also go by the name Okiya Subaru, until the PSB pulled me out of classes I was a student at university, my hair is...kinda pink and I have light skin in that disguise"

"He also wears long sleeved clothes and turtle necks"

"Hey it's the only way to hide the voice changer around my neck, speaking of which..."

Akai puts back on the voice changer that makes his voice Haruto Itsuki and makes sure it's activated

"I may call you guys in this identity and you need to know the voice, also going to give you guys my number, it used to be Kir's by the way"

"What took so long to get a second phone and number by the way Haruto?"

"Originally the only phone and number available was Furuya's but..."

"But you guys didn't want that number in use, so how did you get him a second number until he got his second phone?"

"It wasn't easy trust us"

"Still...what did you need to talk to us about Kazami?"

"It's about Haruto's identity, we the PSB made it after he told us that his Okiya identity couldn't be known as working with us, and he told me, and only me about the fact that he's supposed to be a dead FBI agent known as Akai Shuichi, I'm the only one in the PSB who knows that now that Furuya's gone by the way, we need to discuss how we're going to deal with his multiple identities in the field and how we're going to keep the rest of the PSB and if you so decide James the FBI from figuring out the whole musical identity thing, especially that Akai Shuichi is actually still alive"

"His sniping skills might give it away you know"

"Not with the backstory the PSB has created for Haruto"

Suddenly three folders are put on the desk in front of the three FBI agents in the room and Akai speaks up again (granted he himself had only learned of his Haruto backstory the day after he had confronted Kazami about the PSB not knowing the truth)
