So, this will be the last chapter…

Death

"There's been an incident at Beika hospital!" Shinichi shouted as he the others ran into the police station.

"Kudo, calm down, what happened?" Takagi asked as he was preparing to leave for the night.

"Ran was kidnapped along with our son." Shinichi said. Takagi titled his head and sighed. "Ai Haibara was also taken. The hospital was held up and practically destroyed. My mom and Ran's mother are there along with all the other unfortunate people who had to witness all of that."

"What's going on out here?" MeGuere asked. Shinichi took a deep breath and revealed everything.

Several minutes later

"We have to find them." Kogoro said, standing up.

MeGuere nodded and turned to Shinichi. "We will send out some search teams, but if they didn't wan the police involved we have to send a few in separated areas." Shinichi nodded.

"Yeah, I understand."

"We need a plan." Heiji said.

Shinichi nodded. "Well since I am the cause of all this. I think they'd want me to me to be the first to confront them."

Yusaku turned to him. "Son, I know you want that…but it's not gonna be good if you die."

"I won't die, dad."

"Be careful, Kudo. We'll wait for twenty minutes after you leave, but no longer." MeGuere said. Shinichi nodded.

"Thanks, inspector,"

As Shinichi exited the building he started to feel himself burning. He clutched his chest and screamed.

"Kudo!" Heiji shouted. They all ran to him.

"Damn it. The antidote didn't last very long," he said in pain. He took a few short breaths and collapsed.

"Wow, you weren't kidding." MeGuere said as he watched the young again Shinichi Kudo.

Conan sighed and rolled up his sleeves. "No. I was poisoned by the same people who kidnapped my son and Ran and even Haibara."

"We have to make a move on them, now, Kudo." Heiji said. Conan looked up and nodded. He threw himself off of the couch.

"Come on. We can't lose any more time."

He was the first out the door and the others followed close behind.

"Let's split up," Yusaku said. Conan looked up at his father.

"Ok," Conan said. He turned to Heiji. "Hattori, come with me."

Heiji nodded. "Yeah, it's probably best to stay in twos. We can have each other's backs"

The four all nodded and headed in two separate directions.

Unknown Location

Ran opened up her eyes. She looked down at Conan and gave out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to but she acknowledged the fact she was handcuffed to a bar.

"Don't try anything funny." Vermouth said as she lit her cigarette.

"Could you please not smoke around the baby?"

Vermouth sighed and turned the other way. At least the smoke was going in another direction now.

Ran held Conan tight as best she could with her free hand. He started crying. Ran looked down. She tried rocking him as best as she could but he only cried more.

It was probably time for his first meal but she couldn't do anything.

"Please…he's hungry." Ran said with tears. Vermouth sighed and put out her cigarette.

"How are you planning to do so?" She asked. Ran looked down.

"To breast feed him."

Vermouth sighed and walked over. She leaned down and unlocked her handcuffs. "Do it, quickly."

"Could you look the other way, please? This is my first time." Ran demanded. Vermouth rolled her eyes and turned to face the other way.

"Hurry,"

"It will take a few minutes."

Vermouth groaned and continued to face the other direction.

Ran revealed her breast and held Conan up to it. It wasn't long before he started sucking on her nipple.

It felt uncomfortable at first but Ran soon got used to it. She could tell that he was done when he pulled away, asleep.

"Are you done?" Vermouth asked in an unpleasant tone. Ran sighed and fixed her shirt.

"H-hai."

Vermouth turned around and cuffed her back to the bar. Ran looked up at her. "Now, stay still for some more until someone comes to rescue you."

Ran looked down at Conan and continued to hold him tight.

A man entered the room. The room wasn't light enough to see who it was but Ran could tell it was a man and he was carrying another "hostage."

"Oi! What are you doing, Vermouth! Separate the baby and woman," he said.

"No, please! Don't take my baby!" Ran shouted. Vermouth stood up from her seat.

"Shut up, Whisky." Vermouth said as she made her way to Ran.

Whiskey made his way and cuffed his hostage to a bar similar to Ran's.

"No! Please, don't take my baby!" Ran shouted as Vermouth leaned down and took Conan away from her.

Ran started to cry.

"Come on, little guy. You might see mommy again," Vermouth said in a calm but serious tone.

Whiskey groaned at Vermouth, "The boss says that it won't be long until someone comes in for the big rescue. You are in charge of the baby. Gin and Vodka want to due with that girl," he pointed to the younger hostage.

Ran looked over and noticed it was Ai.

Shinichi, where are you?

In the Streets of Tokyo

"Damn it!" Conan shouted as he punched an alley wall. Heiji looked down at him.

"Kudo, it will be all right. We will find them, and they will be alive and well." Heiji's voice was assuring. Conan looked down.

"I hope you are right, Hattori."

"You hope? Kudo, that is your girlfriend and son out there. You have to know I am right. Don't let yourself down," he said.

A drop of rain trickled on their faces. They looked up. "If they even think about hurting them…"

"Kudo, it'll be fine."

"Will it, Hattori? Will it really be fine? What if they're—," He swallowed. He didn't wanna think of the worst right now. His voice was breaking and his tone seemed aggressive.

"Kudo, listen to me," he gripped his shoulders and looked at him in the eyes. "We'll find them. You just need some faith right now."

It just their luck when a van pulled up next to them.

"Cool kid?" Jodie asked. Conan and Heiji turned to the van.

"Jodie-sensei?" Conan asked. She smiled.

"What are you doing out here in the rain?" Conan sighed.

"Come in, you'll catch a cold." Agent Camel said.

They nodded and ran into the open van door.

"We have found a lead on the organization." Jodie said. Conan looked up at her.

"They have taken three hostages."

"We heard from a counterpart undercover,"

"It was Ai Haibara, Ran Mouri and Conan Kudo,"

"Conan Kudo?"

Conan smiled, "Ran had…my baby," he looked down. He wasn't sure if they knew of his identity at this point or not. It didn't really matter anyways. "I am really Shinichi Kudo."

Jodie nodded. "I understand, Kudo-kun. We have analyzed your fingerprints at a point for proof of our suspicions."

Conan nodded. "We have to save them! Conan was only born barely three hours ago."

"We understand. Our radar is telling us they are in a nearby secured location. Moat likely a warehouse by the ship yard."

Conan looked ahead in hope they were right.

Unknown Location

"You're in luck, Ran Mouri," Whisky said. Ran looked at him with tears in her eyes. He had moved her from her original location.

"Where is my son?" She asked in panic.

"Don't worry about it. He's safe…for now."

"What!"

Whisky sipped his drink and tossed the bottle.

"Please, I just want my son!"

"Shut the hell up!" Whisky shouted. She looked down in fear. She had tears coming down her face, like she did since she arrived. He walked over to her and taped her mouth.

She tried to fight him off but only lost. He had cuffed her other hand to a bar and even roped her legs together. "Stay still," he slapped her.

Shinichi...

In another room

Ai looked up. She looked around the room to see if she could get out. She was no longer handcuffed and could roam the small room freely.

The only door was locked and all the vents were barred. "Damn," she said quietly. She stood up and tried to find some way out.

It was quiet except for the sounds of leaking of water or with her luck, gas as she remembered before she was in her current state.

She jumped as she heard rattling of the door being unlocked. She gulped and quickly found a place to hide. She crawled behind a bookshelf.

"Where'd she go?" A voice asked. Ai immediately recognized the voice as Vodka. Footsteps started moving in again.

"She's still here, there's no where to run. Start turning over tables." That voice had to belong to Gin.

Ai began to panic as she heard the two clicks of a gun. The door was open.

She cautiously looked around the edge of the bookshelf.

"Sherry, where are you?" Gin asked. They both had their guns ready. "I don't like guessing games."

Ai took the current time to make her exit. She ran quickly towards the door, accidentally hitting a few glass bottles on the way. Gin and Vodka both turned and ran after her.

Kudo-kun, pleas hurry.

Ai climbed into a small space under the stairs, tricking them. They both ran past the staircase but she didn't move. How long could she fool them?

Outside

"It's too dangerous to go by yourself." Jodie said. Conan ignored her and ran out of the van anyways.

"Hey wait!" Agent Camel shouted.

Heiji sighed. "I should follow him!"

"Not you too…damn kids." Camel said. Jodie sighed.

"I have faith in those too. And it's not like they're alone." Camel looked out the window and saw the police force.

Inside

"It's time Whisky." Vermouth said through them monitor. Whisky looked down at it.

"Alright," Whisky pulled out his gun and went to release Ran from the handcuffs. "Try anything and I will kill you."

Ran looked down as she was being dragged by Whisky.

Vermouth grinned. "It looks like your little boyfriend is coming to your rescue but don't get too excited yet."

"Give me my baby."

"You will hold your son soon," Whisky said as he forced her against the wall. "For now, shut the fuck up."

Ai was against the wall outside the door, listening. She wanted to help out but she didn't know how.

Before she knew it, she was being lifted from the ground. She started to kick. She couldn't let out a scream because her holder was covering her mouth.

Ran looked up as Gin and Vodka walked in. She gasped as she realized that Gin was carrying Ai.

He walked over to a pull and handcuffed her to it. Ai looked down in panic. She was crying.

Ran looked over at Conan who was in Vermouths arms.

"Please, I want my son."

"Shut up," Vodka said as he pointed his gun towards her forehead. She closed her eyes.

Before Vodka could even cock the gun or pull the trigger it was kicked out of his hand. Everyone turned to see the intruder.

"Detective," Gin said as he glared at him. Conan looked up and gulped.

"Let them go."

"Oh, you're demanding aren't you?"

"I am the one you want. Not them."

Whisky grabbed a hold of Ran and Vermouth continued to hold the baby.

"Who would you save?" Gin asked with an evil grin. Shinichi could swear it was like looking in the eyes of the devil.

"Don't answer the question, Kudo! It's a trap!" Vodka shot his gun towards Ai.

"Shut up!"

Just grazing her cheek, she looked back up.

"Haibara!"

"I'm…ok, Kudo-kun."

"Release all of them, now! Take me instead, just don't hurt anyone else." Conan demanded.

Gin turned to Whisky and then to Vermouth.

Whisky pushed Ran towards Conan and Vermouth handed over the baby to his mother.

"Haibara too."

Vodka released Ai.

"Go on, get out of here!"

Conan looked up at Ran. "Go on." She noticed he had a small tear in his eye. Was this gonna be the last time they saw each other?

They left the room.

Conan immediately skimmed the room over to find away to knock them out until the police got there.

"Detective, I'm impressed you're still alive." Gin said as he cocked his gun. Conan gulped. At the corner of his eye he noticed Vodka's gun under a small space, one where no one could get to except for a kid.

I just need to get over there.

He turned to Gin and grinned at him. He kicked him to drop his gun and made his way, dodging bullets from the other two shooters.

He finally reached the gun and aimed it towards them.

Gin laughed. "A child with a gun amuses me."

Conan cocked it to show them he was serious.

He aimed it up higher and shot a rope. It split and part of the ceiling collapsed.

He ran out to catch up with everyone when he had his chance.

"Kudo!" Heiji shouted. Conan smirked and ran towards him. "Conan is with your dad right now, out of here. But she didn't wanna leave you." A bullet flew by his arm. Conan looked back to see Gin not far behind him.

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"Shinichi!" Ran shouted. Conan turned to her.

"Ran! Get out of here! It's way too dangerous for you!" Conan was too oblivious and didn't notice Gin ready to shoot at Ai who was slightly behind. A gun shot rang out. Everyone turned to see.

"Haibara!" Conan shouted. She was bleeding from the head. It was hard to even tell if she was alive or not.

Gin cocked his gun again but he didn't aim it towards the shrunken detective but at Ran.

"Say your goodbyes." Gin said as he fired the gun.

"RAN!" Conan shouted as he ran towards her. He leaped into the air bringing her down and getting shot in the left shoulder. "Ah!" He winced in pain.

"Shinichi," she said quietly.

"I'll be ok. You get out here now!" Ran nodded and got up. Conan stood up only to get shot again and Ran this time got shot in the lung and again in the chest.

It wasn't long until the organization was arrested.

The hospital

It was quiet. Conan opened up his eyes slowly.

"K-Kudo," Heiji said softly. Conan looked at him. "You're in the hospital." Why did he have a sad look on his face?

"What's wrong?" Conan asked. Yukiko and Yusaku looked at him.

"Shin-chan, we have bad news." His mother said. Conan looked down.

"Son,"

"What happened?"

"Ran-chan passed away." Conan looked up at his mother with tears falling down his face.

"No!"

Yukiko wrapped her arms around him. "We're so sorry, Shin-chan."

He swallowed and continued to cry. "H-how could this happen?" His voice was breaking up due to the crying.

"She was shot but she lost too much blood and there wasn't anything they could do."

"How am I gonna raise Conan by myself?" Yukiko rubbed his back.

"We're all here to help." Conan gripped her shirt.

"We're sorry, Kudo." Heiji said. Conan realized he didn't have his hat on.

Conan looked down and continued to cry.

Twelve Months Later

"Shin-chan?" he turned as his mother called his name. He didn't say anything. She sighed. "Why don't you do something with your son? You can't keep ignoring him."

"Daddy, play with me!" The toddler demanded. Shinichi looked down and scooped him up. "Daddy?"

"Take him to the park or something." Yukiko said as she left the room.

Shinichi looked down at Conan. "Come on, I wanna take you somewhere."

Conan blinked. Shinichi stood up and carried him downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Yusaku asked.

"I'm gonna take him to the cemetery." Shinichi answered as he put on his hoodie and helped Conan into his jacket.

"Shinichi, your son looks up to you. You have to be there for him." Yusaku said. Shinichi nodded.

"I know…"

Cemetery

"Where are we going?" Conan asked as he held his fathers hand. Shinichi looked down and smiled.

"We're here."

They paused at a headstone. Shinichi kneeled down next to Conan to become I level.

"Conan, this is where mommy is."

Conan looked around. "I have a mommy?"

"Of course you do. She's just not here anymore." Shinichi said. Conan was not even a day old when it happened. He was probably too young to understand. Shinichi looked over at a bunch of flowers in the field. "Why don't you go pick some flowers to place here?"

He nodded and ran carefully to the flowers. Shinichi watched as he did son.

He turned back to the headstone.

"Ran…" some tears trickled down his face, "It's been a year now. Conan will be a year old in three days. Can you believe it?" he smiled a bit but kept his head down. "Unfortunately it's also the anniversary of your death. I don't know how I could tell him about it."

He looked over at Conan again to make sure he was still there and he was. "I know you're in heaven right now watching over us and you can watch him grow." He sighed. "I know I haven't paid that much attention to him, it's just…it's hard to look at him. You're all I think about. I have to pay more attention to him now. He's my son." He snickered. "He's picking flowers for you right now. I wish you could see how well he's grown so far. He was talking at 3 and half months and walking at six. It's amazing, don't you think? He's gonna be an overachiever, I can tell. You would be so proud of him."

"Daddy!" Conan cried as he ran towards his dad.

Shinichi ran to meet him. "Conan, what happened are you ok?" He asked in concern. Conan held his finger out.

"It hurts."

Shinichi looked at it. "Oh, it looks like a bee sting. We should get some ointment for that."

"The flowers." Conan said. He walked over and placed them down on the headstone. Shinichi smiled. Conan came running back.

"Come on, we'll go get some ointment and then we'll get some ice cream!" Conan nodded.

"Ok, daddy!"

"Oh, hi Shinichi." He looked up to see Sonoko.

"Sonoko?"

"Yeah, it's me. What's your deal?" Sonoko asked. She looked down at Conan and smiled. "Wow, you've gotten so big."

Conan hid behind Shinichi's pant leg in a shy matter. "It's ok, Conan. It's only Sonoko."

"Did you stop by Ran's grave?"

Shinichi nodded. "Yeah, we were just gonna go out and get some ointment for a bee sting and then some ice cream."

"Oh, well have fun with that. I have to get back home afterwards. Makoto is planning something."

"Bye, Sonoko." Shinichi said.

Later that night

Shinichi pulled Conan into his lap. He pulled out a box of pictures. "Conan this is your mother." He handed a picture to him. He took it. "And this is us when we were younger."

Conan smiled as he held the pictures and saw his mother.

"And this was…taken the day you were born." He swallowed. He didn't wanna remember that day at all but the only good thing that happened was Conan. Conan looked up.

"Daddy?"

Shinichi wrapped his arms around his son. "I'm ok," he looked up to see his parents peeking their heads into the bedroom. Shinichi gave them a smile. He then looked back down. He pulled out a tiny velvet box. Conan watched him open it. "And this, is a ring." He swallowed hard and then kissed Conan on the forehead. "I was gonna propose to her the day you were born…" he wiped his tears. "I never get that chance."

Conan wrapped his arms around Shinichi the best he could. "Daddy, I love you."

Shinichi snickered, "I love you too, son."

Conan looked towards the window and noticed there was a rainbow.

"A rainbow!" Shinichi looked up and smiled. He picked up Conan and carried him to the window.

"It is a rainbow. It's mommy, telling us to look ahead."

Shinichi looked up and gasped as he swore he saw a glimpse of an angel looking at them from the tree. He smiled slowly and then looked down at Conan.

"We'll make it through."
