Chapter 4
Ran was dreaming again. This time she saw shinnich and she was back in tropical land like few months ago. When shinich said good bye she grabbed his arms and said don't go. Shinnich replied by calling out her name but she would not budge. Then her name became louder and louder until she could feel the force brining her back and everything when all white like snow.
When she woke up she found her self in Professor Agassa's house. She was wearing a small blue skirt and blue shirt. When she looked at it she realized that it was a gift from Shinnich's mother when they were 8 years old. when she looked out she could see that it was already night. When she tried to move her arms and legs still hurt. " Ouch " she cried in pain. Then she noticed something. She looked at her arm and her hands and they were smaller
"…No, we believe he survived due to side effect of the poison and became a kid." She recalled the voice of the man that kidnapped her. 'could it be… could it be that I shrunk as well?" When she looked around she could see Haibara typing in the compture and Conan lying on the feet of the bed sleeping. " oh you are awake Mori-san" said Ai. At this Ran looked towards the little girl who sat on the chair. " how… how long have I been out?" asked Ran.
"Well…you've been out for more than 5 hours." '5 Hours!' Ran could not believe herself. " what happened while I was 'out'" Ran asked. " and how did I turn … younger"
At this Haibara just signed and looked at Ran before she began to speak.
"well I guess there is no point in hiding the truth from you any longer Mouri-san." Ai began " Before Edogawa-kun fell asleep he and I discussed about speaking the truth to you. This truth may be hard to swallow Mouri-san. The truth is that you have swallowed the poison called APTX 4869 which has a side effect of truing people into 8 year olds provided that it dose not kill you." At this Ran began to shiver as she thought ' so what that man said was true.'
" so dose that mean Conan is really Shinich?" Ran asked. At this Haibara seemed surprised but she said calmly " yes, he was first 'human rat' to be tested. The drug was feed to him by the man code-named Gin." The name somehow sent shiver to Ran's body. " For some time Kudo Shinnich remained as a only person to have survived the poison until I took one." Ran looked at Haibara with surprise. When Haibara looked at Ran she signed and carried on " I was one of them before they did something unforgivable." At this point she clamped her hand in a painful memory. "They took away no, killed someone close to me." Haibara said. At this point her face began to fill full of tears at her scared memory. Looking at Haibara's painful expression Ran came close to her and put her hand on Haibara. Haibara calmed down and carried on " I told them that I would not work on that poison any more and they looked me in a cell. I fully knew what that meant. I was to be excutued under the order of organization. I searched for that poison and I swallowed it intending to end my life. However as you can see it didn't and it shrunk me instead."
After finishing her tale Ran looked at Haibara softly. She did not expect this girl to have such a dark past. Sure she seemed quite mature for her apparent age but she always assumed that it was because she was shy. She looked at her and asked " so why are you telling me this?" To this question Haibara replied " because you remind me of that someone close to me. You remind me of my sister whom they took away from me."
" So what should I do for now?" Ran asked to this Haibara said " I suggest you to have a rest for your injury and tomorrow we will talk about plans for your ' current situation.' Ran nodded and she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
