DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DETECTIVE CONAN
PREVIOUSLY:
As my desperate soul tries to put pieces together on the happenings, I run towards Ran's house. And all I saw was her shadow talking to uncle. I look around and 480 meters away from us, I can see a sniper. I search around again and saw 11 to 14 people wearing in black that walks near the house, that became regular costumers in a shop and that blends in the crowd. They are good at this. I gritted my teeth. I look at my watch and saw the exact 50 minutes left until 8 pm. It's dark.
I just ran up and went at the Tropical Island without a clear view of what might happen. The gates are closed. I look around for an opening, nothing. And until seconds ago, I was conscious. Hearing those last words before I felt that big rock hit my head, made myself to have chills, grit and curse them at the same time.
Welcome to hell. And as I predicted it was Gin who said that.
Chapter 3: With Them
Heiji scan the whole terrain yet he can't find Shinichi. Where is he? It's been 10 minutes. He said as of pissed.
You called us out here, boy? A 20's man, with a Gothic style of clothing appeared. Namely, Perry Smith, the one and only child of hers, who goes on rebellion after a year because of her mother's way of doing things. He's been living with his father until his father died in an accident-all away from her mother. 22 years of age and easily pissed.
Heiji! A familiar voice echoed again and again as Heiji searched who it was. A car rushing like wind came in and stopped right in front of him. Came climbing down were 2 ladies in a simple shirt and skirt outfit. Kazuha and Ran. Kazuha grab his shirt and suddenly push it to hers, meeting both of their eyes. Heiji look at her questionably.
Where are the kids? Kazuha asked. She put her hand down and put her arms around her chest, folded like a boss.
There. Heiji said as he points out Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko talking together with bright and excited yet child-and-playful faces. Then his glance was caught by the girl leaning in the wall talking to someone over the phone with her usual face of boredom, Haibara. Heiji just look away and turn back his gaze at the ladies.
Where's Conan-kun? Asked by Ran, who was holding her phone. I can't contact him. What I mean is that, he's not answering it. Heiji raised an eyebrow.
Not answering? What is Kudo doing? Where is he, anyways? Heiji thinks as he looks around them. He's probably here around, anyways, he'll come back soon. He said. He, then faced the suspects.
Sorry for the wait. Heiji said.
I tried opening my eyes but it refuses and so I just answered its commands until I remember... GIN! I said as I suddenly jump to sit up. I breathe heavily and look around.
I'm alone in a room. There's a fluorescent light in the ceiling, the only source of light of this room. The ceiling and wall was painted in gray while there are pure black tiles cemented at the floor. 2 simple beds placed alongside each other with a space of an aisle at the center; both of the beds had pure white blanket and a pillow covered in white cover. The one I'm sitting now was on the left and the other's on the right, near the door. There's a door-a black, rectangular prison door; no windows nor any other way out of the room except for the door. There's 2 CCTV cameras looking at me.
Looking at myself, both of my arms and legs were chained at the four sides of the left bed. Chains that I can easily lift but hard to take out. It's not too long, not that too short, either; enough for me to sit up, lay my self up, lean at the wall near me, but not moving anywhere else outside the bed. I continue to search for tools and remembered the professor's inventions. And when I look at myself, once again. I just noticed that my belt, suspenders, watch, eyeglass, shoes, bow tie, and the detective badge were all gone. Everything's gone. Damn it! I shouted. I heard footsteps and just glared at the door until, wishing here, that someone comes in that I can talk to... nicely.
And for luck's sake! Someone came in, it was Gin. Gin... I said as I just glared at him as he enters the room and someone from the outside closes it and stands at the door. Gin walk few steps and sit in the right bed. Bending his back as he stares down to my eyes, he puts his shoulders on his knees and presses his hands together.
Kudo Shinichi. He said. At that moment, chills started to flow down my spines. He stand up after minutes of silence. He took out a gun in his coat and points it exactly at my head with still enough distance. Been a long time. Or should I say, he closes the gun to my head and now I'm inches away with the gun to my head. Conan Edogawa.
How did you found out? I just ask like a normal person, but seriously even though the place was surprisingly cold, I'm full of sweat right now. I heard footsteps again coming at the room and voices outside that I'm familiar with. One surprising moment was also Gin didn't kill me but pulled his gun away and himself.
I won't. Don't worry. He said. Oh, I see so he's speaking to someone through an earpiece or something. He put back the gun and walk in front of the door. You'll be staying here until we receive orders from up above. He said as the door slowly opens up, revealing 3 people at the same time, too. Vodka, the one who stayed at the hallway to guard the door, Bourbon and Kir are there, too. Before going out, Gin added, Also, if you're trying to find for your stuffs it's as good as new ordinary items later. He went out, have a glance at Kir and Bourbon and then went away.
Kir and Bourbon entered and closed the door. Both of them, sit at the right bed and I just lean myself at the wall near me. Where am I? I asked.
Japan, of course. Kir said. Seriously?
This is a freaking surprise, Conan Edogawa. Bourbon stated. Kir and Bourbon, two great infiltrators of some organization that wants to take down black organization as much as I want to.
Me, too. I said. How did you found out? They looked at each other.
Well, ask the boss, yourself, if you want to. Kir said.
Boss? You mean he talks to you? I said.
Once in a blue moon, yes. And if he does, just on screen. He only shows us the back of his chair, no traces of anything for his skin, eyes, mouth, gender, voice and look. He's using a voice changer. That's why if you think you can take us down, you're just going to be driven out into the nothingness. Bourbon said.
Why didn't you kill me? What do you want from me? I asked.
As for that we don't know. Kir said. No one knows. And they leave me out of the room again.
Damn. I just said as I cover my face with both of my palm. What now?
After the killer succeed picking the lock at Mrs. Smith's house, you started going around for jewelries or whatever items like money, you can steal. Unfortunately, Mrs. Smith saw you at the 2nd floor and you put a fight and stabbed her. That explains why her room is messy and blood stains drop on the ground that matches hers. She ran towards the kitchen and was about to go out the opened back door when you stabbed her, again. There she totally died. Heiji said with bored eyes.
Kitchen? She's crazy. She can call... A woman in her 50's said. She's in her formal dress. And according to the notes, she's the victim's mother who was currently sleeping at the other room, of the 2nd floor, away from all what happened. She's Jane Percival.
Because she doesn't have any phone. That's why she was about to ask help since there's a police station near here that you can just reach by walking. Heiji said. Because no one's talking, he continued, After that, the killer was in a state of shock of what happened. Drop the knife, went out of the house, lock the house from outside, break the window and throw the key inside. You hurriedly change your clothes and dump it in the trash. Then the kids came and played baseball. Actually, when they loose the ball what they hit was actually the window from your house. Realizing something, you quickly called the glass shop and ordered one of the same glass but unfortunately they don't have one. But, you still ordered and because you're a glass repairer or whatever the word is, before, you quickly changed the glass without sweat and dump it in the trash, too.
Why would he do that? Perry asked.
Well, because he don't want to sweat around of what happen to Mrs. Smith. Heiji said.
Who's the killer, then? Inspector Megure asked.
And according to all the information, I said, there's only one person who could be like that. It's you Mr. Delson. Heiji said.
Wha... how?! There are CCTV cameras and also! This woman's in that house, too! You might be wrong of what happened... Mr. Delson justified. But was cut off.
The CCTV cameras are off because of all the disturbances you did from the last days. Let's say, you hit the car, triggered the alarms and anything. Because of that, the CCTV cameras are off today and was scheduled to be fix this afternoon, too. You chose that moment to steal. And Mrs. Percival can't do such a thing in her age and while the commotions are happening, she's currently in deep sleep and took her hearing aid off. And if you said it can be Perry, sorry, he can't be, He's in a bar 24/7. I said.
How do you know all of these? Perry asked.
Easy. Just interrogate people. Heiji said. Oh, and... Perry, you've been in drugs, right?
HOW?! THE HECK?! Perry shouted.
The police are actually following you, you know? Heiji said. Oh, and I forgot. If you throw a ball in that distance, from there to here, it would have a very different result. The glass would break in a different way.
After minutes, it was confirmed in the glass shop about the order, the CCTV repair and all. Then, Kevin Delson confessed his crimes in his line of work as a thief.
What a boring case. Heiji thought. And where the hell Kudo is?
I've been trying out for the entire time, getting this chains off me. But hell, I can't. Of course, that's not surprising. Then someone came in again. The master of disguise, Vermouth.
Cool guy. She stated. She sit in the right bed and crossed her legs.
Where the hell am I? How did you figure out? What do you-I said.
Stop with the questions. She said irritably. She pulled her cigarette and lighter. Lighted it and smoked. You know, you can't keep secrets like forever.
You told them. I glared at her.
Yes and no. No, because they found out who you are in I don't know how but yes, I told them who you are when they interrogated me for confirmation. Sorry, cool guy. She said. She stand up and walk to door. Don't worry. As far as I know, angel and the others weren't killed. With that, she went out.
A/N: What now?
