After Conan had "wandered off" (followed a suspicious character), both Ran and Mouri had had to track him down. Making Mouri irritable, and Conan's head a punching bag.

Mouri then picked up Conan by the collar of his shirt, "Stop running off you little-!"

The clock tower in the square began a long progression of "gongs" which stopped the old detective in mid sentence as he looked back behind him, "Ah, shit-!" He dropped Conan, looked around quickly to orient himself, then took off at full speed to Conan's left.

Ran yelled after him, "Dad! Where are you going!?"

Mouri shoot an answer back, not even turning his head, "I'm supposed to meet an important client in ten minutes!!!" and disappeared into the crowd.

Ran put her hands on her hips and sighed exasperatedly, "Geez..." She then started to turn to her right, "Come on Conan, let's go back to the-"

Ran then realized that the child to whom she thought she was talking wasn't actually standing there. She glanced around, "Conan..?" Then she realized what had probably happened. Her worry was quickly overtaken by annoyance. She quickly turned to the direction her father had taken off in.

Detective Mouri arrived out of breath outside a rather extravagant hotel. He leaned on his knees and puffed. He caught sight of a clock on an electronic sign that read, 14:57 He then stood up straight and gloated to himself, "Ha ha~ I made it~! *Pant* I'm still young! *Pant*"

Conan panted next to him, "If *pant* you had left earlier *pant* that wouldn't even be a problem *pant*"

Mouri then smacked him on the head, "What the heck are you doing here!?!"

Shortly after Ran burst out through the crowd behind them and looked distinctly unamused, "So this is where you two got off to!" Conan noticed that Ran wasn't panting. Go figure. All that karate probably kept her in shape.

Mouri was surprised, "Ran too..?" He then looked at the clock and saw that he only had a minute or so left, "Fine! Fine! You two come with me then!"

WhooWho!
I think I figured out how to get Sims 3 to install.

Now I just have to hope it works. _
