A/N: HELLO! HERE IT IS.

CHAPTER 3: MISSING

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi ran into the agency so suddenly that Heiji jumped. In a split-second, he took in all the details. Ayumi had tears in her eyes, they were both exhausted and had terrified looks on their face. Ran and

Kogoro exchanged confused looks.

"It's awful!" Mitsuhiko yelled, despite Ayumi who started crying again. "Conan-kun has been kidnapped!"

"WHAT?" Ran said in a nervous and terrified voice. "WHEN? WHERE? BRING ME THERE NOW!" Kogoro stood there, speechless as he registered the words he just heard. Heiji's eyes widened in shock as he ran behind

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko. Ayumi started explaining the situation as they ran while she broke into hiccups.

"We -Me, Mitsuhiko-kun, Genta-kun and Ai-chan- were f-following Conan-kun and h-he turned the corner of a-an alley. When we g-got there he had v-vanished... We f-found his g-glasses on the floor and... there was a

man far away walking to his car, h-he was carrying something..."

Ayumi started crying again, so Mitsuhiko started explaining intead.

"It was Conan-kun. We ran after him but he drove off before we could reach him! We have to help Conan-kun!"

Heiji thought for a moment. How could Kudo be kidnapped that easily? It wouldn't be possible if the person had a drug or something. And why? What was the motive?

"That brat...Kuso..." he heard Kogoro murmur nervously. He looked at Ran who was still repeating under her breath as tears started forming in her eyes. "Conan-kun..."

They reached the alley and found Genta and Haibara discussing silently. Haibara glanced at Heiji and wondered. Why is he here?

Ran ran down the alley screaming Conan's name. "Conan-kun! Conan-kun where are you!"

"It's no use." Haibara said. "The man already took off with the car. Plus Conan couldn't hear you even if he were here."

"Huh?" said Heiji as he walked towards Haibara, Kogoro behind him sounding panicked. "Got himself in trouble again...that brat..."

"Look." Genta pointed to the ground. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko covered behind Ran.

Heiji bent down and picked up the handkerchief. He brought it close to his nose and recognized the substance at once. "It's chloroform!" he said.

"Which means that the kidnapper knocked him out first. Ran, call the police." Kogoro commanded.

"That's already done." Haibara said. "They should be here in about 5 minutes. We would be able to track Conan by his glasses if they weren't dropped here. I also called Agasa-hakase and explained him the situation. The

spare glasses are broken too, perfect timing that is. Our only chance now is our Shonen-tantei Dan badges."

"Then let's contact him now! He'll tell us where he is!" Genta said as he took out his badge but Mitsuhiko stopped him.

"No. Didn't you hear Ojii-san? Conan's unconscious right now so if we contact him now then the kidnapper will find the badge and destroy it!"

"Right. Then it's either you'll wait for him to contact you, or you'll contact him about tomorrow." Heiji nodded. What did you get yourself into Kudo?

Ran sobbed into his father's shoulder. "Otou-san, what if the guy is doing something horrible to him right now? Conan-kun..."

"It's okay Ran. I'll do anything to find Conan. And once we find him, I'll let you do your karate thing on the kidnapper so you could give him a proper lesson. Come on."

The police arrived a few minutes later.

"So you're saying that the man was wearing a blue windbreaker?" Takagi asked the four kids.

"Yeah! And he was carrying Conan!" Genta said.

"It's not likely for some random guy to just kidnap Conan-kun out of all kids. It's possibly for revenge. Presumebely against Ojii-san or Conan-kun himself. Also, Conan-kun was knocked out by the kidnapper first so he

wasn't able to fight him off. Because it isn't likely for Conan to go down without a fight." Haibara said matter-of-factly.

Sato, Takagi and Heiji gawked at the always-serious girl. Haibara's face didn't change. Once Heiji was over it, he turned to Sato. "Hey, was there any case where Conan-kun helped you solve? Maybe the guy could have

been plotting revenge or something..."

Sato stared at the ground as she thought deeply. Conan... why would anyone kidnap him? He is a brilliant kid and always helps the police solve the cases by pointing out important clues that we don't notice. Could there be

anyone that held a grudge against him? Maybe... maybe...

Takagi was thinking the same thing. "There was one murder case where Conan-kun offered to make a deducation show in front of the culprit while we listened on the other end. He told us that Mouri-sama told him some

of the facts and he figured it out with the Shonen-tantei dan. I don't know how he did it but that kid's amazing. Conan-kun said it'll be easier for the guy to confess to him since he would think that no one would believe

him. You know, because he's a kid and all..."

Heiji glanced back and saw that Kogoro was talking to Ran. He sighed in relief. If he was listening to what Takagi was saying, he might've been like "I never told those brats anything! What the hell are you talking about?"

"But a very smart kid." Sato started. "We would have never catched the killer if it wasn't for him... We have to find him, no matter what!"

"Where is that culprit now? Still in prison?" Kogoro popped out behind Heiji who's eyes widened. He probably heard the bits of what Takagi was saying.

"Wait," Heiji said. "if I remember correctly, there was one guy who was stabbed by an unknows assailant in prison today, and the news said he was staying at the Beika General Hospital. Is it him?"

"If it is, then he probably ran away and he's the one!" Kogoro said.

"The thing is..." Takagi started. "he's still at the hospital with a police standing outside the door." Sato finished for him.

"Hey, Takagi-keiji, did the guy have any brothers or sisters?" Mitsuhiko said while Genta, Ayumi and Ai stood beside him.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be the culprit himself." Ayumi added.

"Right." Heiji said. "Takagi-keiji, would you mind looking at the relatives of the culprit?"

"No problem." Takagi said as he ran to the police cab. Heiji went to tell Ran, Kogoro and the Shonen-tantei dan to go home and rest a bit since they've been hanging around for pretty long now.

Dammit.. I came here to see Kudo and now he's in trouble..

Please be okay Kudo.

A/N: DUH DUH DUH DUHHH! SOOOO... What chu guys think? Will Conan really be okay? Or should I be sadistic? (MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) Please review! I would like to know how I could make this better! THANKSS
