As Ran and Conan accompanied Detective Mouri Conan thought about what he had seen on the television. While at first he had been impressed be the cunning of that stunt he now found something about out a bit unnerving. This "L" person had just sacrificed a life to test his theory.

Conan had a very strong scene of justice and while he wanted to find Kira (if only to confirm or deny his connection to the men in black) he felt that there were some sacrifices that simply weren't worth it...

While Conan was weighing his awe at "L"'s cunning verses his distaste with it he forgot to pay attention to where he was going. He bumped into the leg of a tall elderly man and fell over backwards. The elderly man, who had been looking the other way, turned with a start to find what had hit him. When he saw Conan on the ground. Conan saw for a spit second fear in the mans eyes but that subsided when he saw that it was a little boy who had hit him. He leaned over kindly to help Conan up, "Are you alright little boy?"

Conan smiled and thankfully put on his best little kid act as the man helped him up, "Yes! Thanks a lot mister!"

For some reason the elderly man seemed taken aback by this statement. Conan observed him curiously. But only for a second- The next he felt a throbbing pain in his head at Detective Mouri's fist collided with it, "What the heck do you think you're up to, you brat?"

Hi, sorry I haven't been posting...

I wound up doing a lot with my family and I've been really busy so far.

I started writing this chapter before anyone woke up, but it looks like my time is up (haha..)

Once again, James, I'm really sorry for the delay. I'll try to get some more written when I can, but I don't think I'll really have much time.
