Chapter 4: Gone
Previously….
I grabbed my stuff with the antidote in my hand. Ran, I am coming. And Haibara, I'm sorry, but for everyone's safety I have to be myself again.
Shinichi's POV
The pain was more than the other times I have changed. I put a gag in my mouth to avoid sound to be heard. With my clothes on I Ran down the stairs and into the lobby hoping to find a familiar face.
Shiho's POV
I am glad that Kudo is keeping his promise. I know it's hard to be away from her, but it's not like he doesn't see her everyday; although, technically, she never sees him.
From what just happened it was sure quite at the hotel. I guess that's what happens in a child kidnapping case, everyone tends to forget or give up.
Agasa-san said to be with a reassurance, "Don't worry Ai-chan. Everything will be figured out soon and we will find the culprits." He rested his hand on my shoulder and told me everything was going to be fine, but, why did I have such an uneasy feeling…
Jodie had a call to answer and had left to the office and would be back today to let us know if anything new was discovered. She said that woman was awake and said that she would do whatever she can to help find her daughter and the other children. Hopefully, we will be able to find them in time.
We went up and once at our floor exited the elevator to hear screams coming from down the hall. No…
We dropped the food and ran to the door. It was locked shut, but I could hear loud sounds and screams from within. Ayumi-chan!
We rammed the door down to find the a man holding Ayumi unconscious on his shoulder and the boys being thrown down. "NO!" Agasa-san pushed me down and ran towards the man who had pulled out a gun and shot him down leaving me behind. When he jumped, I followed and noticed that three kids were taken. THREE. Where was-
I saw the licence plate and took note of the make and model. I looked around for any evidence of any of the guys to be hidden. Not finding anything, I ran to Agasa-san side and found that the bullet hit one of his inventions in his pocket.
"Are you alright Agasa?"
"Yes. Although it does hurt."
"It looks like they went into your room as well, I am going to see if any of the boys might be in there."
He nodded and followed me in. We analyzed the room and noticed that it was not ransacked and only Agasa's suitcase was opened. We looked through and I asked, "Is there anything missing professor?"
"No, nothing, except-"
"Except?"
"Shinichi gave me his clothes in case he ever needed them and they are missing?"
"Why would-" He wouldn't….
I ran down the stairs to find Shinichi as himself hugging Ran. I hid myself so he did not see me. I thought I could trust you...I guess I am going to have to do this on my own.
I too had clothes I brought with me, along with the antidote. I went into the bathroom and locked the door. So this is what it's come to.
Shinichi's POV
"RAN!"
She ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "Thank goodness you're safe and thank you for coming."
" I am glad I could help."
"I want you to come meet Jodie, she is with the kids right now."
I nodded and we started to walk to the elevator when we were stopped by a woman why blocked our way. No,way, how?
*slap* "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD PROTECT THEM!" Shiho slapped Shinichi across the face infront of everyone including Ran. "JUST BECAUSE YOU COULD CONTROL YOUR DAMN HORMONES!"
"WAIT, Miyano-san, what are you talking about? And what are you doing showing up-"
"ME! WHAT ABOUT YOU?! YOU LEFT THEM ALL ALONE!"
"I-I, wait the kids where are they, aren't they in the room?"
"NO YOU IDIOT! You left them alone and now they are gone. They were taken just like the others and it is all your fault!"
Shinichi was wide eyed, shocked, and terrified. I only left for a few minutes, how could-I…
He ran up to the room on the third floor where he had left the detective boys by themselves with everything locked behind them. Shinichi opened the door to find the room ransacked and Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta gone.
AH! Super excited and irritated with Shinichi! So yeah, Shinichi will be a little less cautious with this fic but don't worry I will have him bounce back in no time. P.S. I might change Ran's name to the English version, Rachael. I am getting lost writing Ran (name) and ran (run away)...
HATE, LOVE? REVIEW! (please?)
and thank you to those who stuck with for my first story, I hope you all love this one!
