Chapter 3
Shinichi slipped back in the kitchen through the window and glanced around, nothing had been moved since he left,
'Odd, I wonder if Kai went out...'
Shinichi jumped soundlessly to the floor and slowly made his way down the corridor, glancing around at the seemingly gigantic objects...
"And nothing seemed odd when he left, he wasn't nervous or anything?"
"N-No, he was just his usual self..."
Shinichi blinked then sped up as he pushed the libraries door and slipped in. He glanced up and instantly recognised the two people in the room,
'Takagi and Sato, what are they doing here?'Shinichi cast his eyes over to the couch where Kaito was sat. He looked shaken, the poker face which he would normally never let slip in the slightest before others seemed to have shut down completely, 'Kai...'
Kaito and the two officers glanced down at Shinichi,
"Kibou, come here." Kaito muttered, Patting the couch which Shinichi jumped up to sit on, rubbing his head against Kaito trying to comfort him,
"Right Erm, I guess we need to just go over the past few days then," Takagi muttered nervously.
Shinichi glanced over to the table where different files where lain out and an evidence bag. In the bag Shinichis mobile was innocently sat,
'That's right Kai was texting someone when I left, it was me! And when I was poisoned I just ran, someone found the blood patch! And oh god, my clothes! 'Shinichilooked back up to Kaito worried, who knew just what scenarios where going through his mind.
Shinichi squirmed in Kaitos arms until he was able to slip out. He then landed on the floor and fixed Kaito with the most serious look he could,
'Kai! Kaito it's me! Please, tell me you understand!'
The three humans blinked in confusion at the small cat's sudden change,
"Odd cat," Takagi muttered, collecting together some files.
"Its eyes are odd, I've never seen cat's eyes like them," Sato said agreeing, "They remind ne of Kudo-kuns," Sato trailed off while Kaito just stared.
Shinichi cursed, then spotted the files Takagi was collecting. With acrobatics and speed that would raise the greatest envy from the phantom thief in any other situation, Shinichi leaped up onto the table and closed his mouth around the bag in Takagis hand. He then spun around and leaped off the table, Takagis hand only just brushing over the fur at the end if his tail, and landed on the ladder leaning on the shelves. Bag still in mouth, Shinichi struggled his way up the ladder until Sato almost climbed on after him. He then slipped onto the shelf and turned around nudging the ladder with his nose and hitting a switch with his paw,
'Now when this hits the end of the track the ladder will lock, someone will have to climb it to unlock it,' Shinichi felt a small pang of guilt, 'Sorry guys...'
He then turned to the phone and hit the unlock button hard with his nose, the phone slowly powered on, it's battery was only just holding out
'Good thing I fully charged it, Shinichi thought, opening his texts section of the phone.
'Writing something will take too long,'He thought watching Sato climbing the ladder to unlock it. He clicked his message history and looked for a suitable text,
I'm here already, try investing in an alarm clock.
Shinichi smirked at the memory, Kaito had overslept the night after a heist and had missed meeting up with Shinichi.
Shinichi hit the 'forward' button with his nose, which was getting quite sore at this point, then the screen opened up the edit screen.
Aware of the now moving ladder, Shinichi hit the backspace button and watched the unneeded words being deleted. The ladder reached the space next to him and he quickly hit send, pressing in the 1 button for Kaitos speed dial.
"Got it!" Sato called, snatching the bag from Shinichis paws. Shinichi looked up at the phone, then looked down at Kaito silently praying that the message had been sent. As he watched, Kaitos hand made no movements to his pocket where his phone was normally kept and Shinichi skunk his head down depressed.
Sato reached the bottom of the ladder and looked over the phone still in the bag, "it somehow turned it on, but it doesn't look like anything else was done..." she looked up at Kaito, "You need to control your cat better,"
"Ah, I only took him in last night," Kaito muttered apologetically, "I bought some toys, maybe if he has something to play with he'll calm down..."
Shinichi glanced down, 'I am not going to chase around some 'kitty
toy.''
Kaito then walked out with Sato and Takagi, apologizing again for Kibou behaviour. He then closed the door behind them, and reached out to a carrier bag that he had left when he had come in. In it was some cat food, some catnip balls and some other toys. Kaito put his hand in the bag and pulled out a stick with some feathers on a string at the end and smirked, though not as widely as usual.
Stick in hand, Kaito walked back into the library to see Kibou sitting on the table. In front of him was one of Shinichis Sherlock Holmes books that had been left out. Now it's pages where open and Kibou had his paw next to a passage, one that Kaito recognised as one from Shinichis 'Sherlock Holms Short Stories Collection'.
Kaito leaned over and looked at the passage, "'Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent'" He muttered reading it out.
He then glanced up at where Kibou had been sat only to see he was no longer there. He then frowned as he felt a small tug in his hand and spun around to see him sat on the floor batting the feathers with his paw. Kaito chuckled and sat down, gently swaying the stick to make the small cat jump up for the feathers.
As he watched Kibou, who had seemed to loose imtrest in everything but the feathers before him which he watched with those enchanting blue eyes. He sighed, then he pulled his phone out with his spare hand.
While Takagi and Sato where here he had turned it onto silent, so that it wouldn't ring in the middle of the questioning. Kaito gulped slightly then flipped open his pone. On the opening screen was a box, One new message.
Kaito opened the inbox and at once felt a bubble of hope rise in him, it was from Shinichi! With almost shaking fingers he opened the text, not noticing that he was swinging the feathers more with his movements. The text slowly opened and Kaito frowned at the message in confusion,
I'm here.
"That's right," Kaito thought sinking back into the seat, "Takagi had the phone, and Kibou took it off him. He must have sent an old message…" Kaito went through his message history and found a close match, but there was more to the message. Could it be…did Kibou delete the rest on purpose?
Kaito glanced back down to the kitten. While he wasn't paying attention the small cat had pulled the string off and had now gotten itself into an adorable tangle, still trying to catch the feathers. Kaito chuckled and kneeled down to free it,
"He couldn't be…" He thought to himself, but the seed of the idea had still planted itself.
Ahem, may the 4th be with you, *Lightsaber swish*
Hehe, anyway, today is Shin-chans birthday, happy birthday Shin-chan! (I don't have any one-sots or anything, so I worked on this instead ^^')
