CH 6 "Brandy"

While Jodie was staring down Gin and Vodka Shinichi untied Ran.

"Get out of here as fast as you can."

"No! I'm not leaving you again. Not after what happened last time!"

"Ran, go I can't stand to see anything happen to you here. You were already dragged into

this because of me"

"DO YOU THINK I CAN STAND TO SEE SOME THING HAPPEN TO YOU!?"

"Ran"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying with you until this is over."

Ran stood and looked Shinichi in the eye. Shinichi frowned at her stubbornness, yet it was one of the many things he loved about her.

"Go hide and DO NOT get involved."

Ran nodded and ran behind a crate.

"Guess you to think your pretty smart, rounding up all the members of the organization. You think that's an accomplishment," Gin spat, "we're nothing but expendable pawns for Her. She couldn't give a damn about us if she tried, not that I mind; I actually respect the bitch for it. But you guys messed around too much, she wouldn't have minded taking out a few members, but by taking out all her pawns you, Kudo Shinichi may became the prophetic Sliver Bullet to take down the organization. And BRANDY will not stand for that! You're lucky though She seems to have taken a special liking to you if you know what I mean, at most she'll just kidnap you and do all sorts of thingsand probably kill your girl."

"If anyone tries to lay a finger on Ran I'll kill them myself."

"My, my the high and mighty Shinichi stooping to the level of those he pursues."

"Who are you to judge? I can tell you're the type who kills just for fun."

"Way to hit the nail on the head; there no greater adrenaline rush, than killing, with the things are looking this is going to be my last chance."

With that Gin pointed his gun to his forehead and pulled the trigger.

"Bastard, I guess that only leaves you Vodka. Come quietly, there's no one to help you." Jodie stated

"If I spill about Brandy will I get anytime off?"

"I'll what I can do."

"Ran you can come out now."

Ran step out and a run up to Shinichi and hugged him as tight as she could.

"OW!"

"Shinichi, I'm sorry is it the bullet wound."

"I'm fine Ran-"

Shinichi started to cough blood.

"SHINICHI, I'll an ambulance!"

But Shinichi did not hear her; he passed out as Ran supported his unconscious body.

Shinichi open his eyes to find unfamiliar ceiling. He quickly assessed it to be a hospital room. He felt a pressure on his chest, as he look down to see Ran sleeping peacefully. Shinichi smiled as he removed some of the hair from her face and placed it behind her ear. The door creaked open, and Sherry walked in, in her real body.

"Don't you look happy?"

"It would be impossible for me to be any happier."

"Jodie told me about what Gin said-"

"About Brandy?"

"I never meet her, but the stories about make the other members look like a box of kittens. You should be careful, especially since she taken a liking to you."

"I've already made arrangements to secure Ran safety before I even went to the warehouse in anticipation for such an occasion."

"She'd never agree if it meant that you two be separated again."

"That's why if she agrees I want us to go into hiding together."

Shinichi looked down again at Ran and smiled.
