I do not own (thanks to sock monster who did first review!)

Chapter 2 ( here is where the story gets little bit violent as it will involve torture and stuff so if you don't like it than do not read this chapter.)

Ran was dreaming. In her dream she saw Kudo Shinichi. She ran up to him and hugged him but as she did he disappeared. Than a huge wave of water came and woke her.

She woke up to find herself wet from head to toe. She was tied up in the chair. Her arm was tied up in the front of the chair and her arm was tied up in the leg of the chair. When she looked around she realized that she was in the abandoned warehouse. Ran saw the two men dressed in black who appears to be her kidnapper.

"She has awakened aniki." Said Vodka.

Gin came close to her and Ran began to struggle as she knew that she could get raped in this situation. "Miss Mori, we know that you had been close friend with someone named Kudo shinichi and we would like to ask you a question- where is he?"

at this Ran stared at him and full of fear said " I don't know." This had earned her nothing but a punch in her stomach. The pain was quite overwhelming. She felt pain spreading from her chest to every sing part of her body. Ran gasped for the air.

"Maybe this should teach you to tell me the truth." Gin said. Then he threw another punch at Ran.

"Well since you are going to die weather you tell us information we require or not I guess we should tell you why we want your boy friend" Gin snickered

"We know everything Miss Mori about your relationship with Kudo Shinichi. Why because he saw something he shouldn't and poked his nose at other people's business like every single detective. Of cause I've managed to give him his just punishment by feeding him a Poison called APTX 4869."

"Is he… Is he dead?" asked Ran. At this Gin laughed a little " if he was than we wouldn't have bothered to kidnapping you. No, we believe he survived due to side effect of the poison and became a kid. Since he saw us he needs to be eliminated. Now I will ask you one more time… where is he?" Gin demanded

As Gin told her this Ran began to think if her wildest suspicion is true. Especially when she heard that APTX 4869 could turn a person into a child, she was reminded of certain child that behaved quite like her best friend. 'is it possible, she thought could it be that Conan Edogawa is actually Kudo Shinichi?' her thought was broken by a punch in the face by Gin.

"Miss Mori, do you think by refusing to talk to us and sacrifice yourself you can hide Kudo Shinichi? Even if you don't talk we can interrogate your friends. Like Kazuha Tooyama, Heiji Hattori and even your parents. Than we can finally find that boy friend of yours and your sacrifice will be in vain. So are you going to do it easy way or the hard way?"

Ran realized that even if she didn't talk and died for Shinichi there was possible chance that her friends would be forced to spill the beans about Shinichi, especially Heiji as she suspected he knew the truth somehow given the way they talked to each other. Soon, however, she knew that they wouldn't do that. They would not hand over Kudo's fate to some sinister group like that. With this firm hope for Shinichi and her trust to her friend, she answered " I don't know" and prepared herself with another blow.

She was hurt numerous times and soon her face was covered with bruise and blood. Her mouth was gashing with blood and her once beautiful navy coloured uniform is all covered with blood coming from her wound. Her arm was covered with bruise as well. As she had endured these beatings, she would only hope Shinichi; no Conan will come and rescue her. Gin gave her another beating across the face and demanded another answer. To this Ran remained silent having no energy to speak even single letter anymore. "Aniki If we keep beat her like this she will die... shall I give her quick and short death by the gun?" said Vodka. As he said this words Ran braced herself for possible death. 'I guess this is it. Sorry I couldn't be with you to the end Conan and Shinichi but I will wait for you in the heaven.' She thought. "No, I will give her same fate as her dear 'husband'' said Gin and he forced the pill of APTX 4869 into Ran's mouth and poured water into her mouth as well. Now let's leave and, oh don't forget to burn everything here Vodka." Said Gin

As the poison begin to take effect she felt her body burning. She felt pain 10 times worse than any beating given by Gin. 'I guess… I am… finally dying… sorry that I couldn't be with you Shinichi…" she said than she fell into deep deep darkness.

Unknown to her a small dark figure came to her as soon as Porsche 356A had left the warehouse. As he carried the shrinking body of Ran his face was dripping with tears….

(now story finally starts but before this I need to back track a bit and explain what happened to Conan after Ran got kidnapped and how he figured where he is… oh and I think next chapter is going to be quite short. feel free to give me some answers of how Conan figured out where Ran is by review and R&R please (^^))
