A/N: HI GUYS! Thanks for all the reviews! I love you! Here is Chapter 5 and well... I'm evil. But bad guys aren't nice are they? Hehehehee, gomenasai Conan-kun. 8D

CHAPTER 5: FAILURE

"They're here! Okay, I'll put this back into my pocket and you guys, don't talk. Maybe he'll say something about where I am."

"Got it."

Conan slipped the badge back into his back pocket and lay there without any movement. He heard the door open and there were two heavy footsteps.
"Oohh, who do I see here? It's Conan-kun! Where is your friends, Shonen-tantei dan or that other detective?" a voice other than the guy he saw said. The man's voice sounded a bit different as if it was hard to talk.

Didn't he get stabbed by an unknown assailant that ran away? Who stabbed him and why?

Wait a second... I get it. But just for... that reason? Then that means...

Conan didn't respond nor moved. He heard the man's footsteps getting closer to him. Suddenly, he was kicked in the stomach, and the air was knocked out of him. He started coughing, trying to catch his breath.

I hope they didn't hear that.

I hope Ran didn't hear that.. She'll get so worried.

"Hey, remember me, Conan-kun?" he heard the guy say.

"You're Ushiro.. You killed Haruto-san.." Conan managed to answer between breaths.

"Damn right, you are.."

"Hey, Aniki, what's your plan?" the same guy that kidnapped him said.

"They didn't listen to what we've said. They asked for trouble and they'll get some... It makes me laugh when I think about the fact that the police still didn't find where we are, I mean we're like, basically next to the park." He laughed.

Suddenly, a buzzing came from Conan's badge.

I'm dead! The guy wants to hurt me anyway and now he's got a better reason!

"What was that? Wait, I think I know..." he reached down to Conan and Conan held his breath, praying the guy wouldn't find the badge. But it was too late. He couldn't do anything.

"Hey hey hey, check this out. It's a mini talkie-walkie."

"You're right, Aniki. He is a smart sneaky kid.."

Conan didn't say anything.

"Is anyone listening there? Answer me or I'll hurt him!"

The respond came about 5 seconds later.

"What do you want? Let Conan-kun go! You've comitted a crime and you had to pay the price for it. You'll get nothing by doing this!"

"He's right." Conan said, even though he didn't know where the guy was standing.

"Ahh, I see. It's the Great Detective of the East. You're this kid's best friend aren't you..? Why didn't you follow instructions? Or do you just like the idea of this kid suffering?" Ushiro yelled and kicked Conan again, this time hard in the ribs. Conan yelled in pain and rolled onto the other side. He didn't think he broke his ribs, but they were probably bruised - or even worse - cracked.

"Hey, stop! Don't harm him! I'll do anything you say!" Heiji yelled in panic. Conan winced.

"Oh, really?" the guy responded like it was all a big joke. "Well well well, I'll give you the instructions later." He laughed. A cruel and mean laugh.

"No, no wait! Wa-"

Shinichi heard the badge crumble beneath the guy's feet.

"Should we ditch this place?" Ushiro's brother said.

"Of course we do! They were listening to what we were saying, thanks to this little brat." He kicked Conan in the ribs again, making the pain unbearable. Conan felt his senses swim and tried to stay awake.

"So where are we going?"

"This warehouse near that plastic factory. Takashi, you get the kid. And make sure he doesn't talk too. Take him to the car. I'll be right there. "

Conan found it hard to breathe for a few minutes as he listened and wondered about any ways of escape.

How the hell am I gonna get away from them? My only chance is Hattori. Please...

He felt the guy called Takashi pick him up and throw him over his shoulder. He yelped again as he felt the pain in his ribs.

"Don't talk or it'll be really bad for you." the man threatened but Conan wasn't in any position to escape. The man dropped him in the trunk and went in the car. The ropes were biting into his skin, making deep marks. Tired as he was, he fell asleep.

"KUSO!" Heiji said as he walked up and down the park.

"They know that we know the location, they found the device.." He repeated to himself under his breath.

Calm down. Getting out of control isn't going to help Kudo. You just have to hope he's in a good condition. And patience. Be have to wait for further instructions..

He glanced around at Megure giving orders to search the place, shonen-tantei dan giving the description of what they saw to Takagi and Sato, and Kogoro and Ran talking quietly.

Out of all kids, the guy found you... It's like he couldn't pick a random kid. Why revenge? It's over. What if he's planning to...

Kudo had solved a case and helped him get away from that lawyer one time. This time, he had to help him.

"Megure-keibu, Mouri-tantei, we found an abondaned house near here. We found some blood on the carpet. We're having it confirmed it's Conan-kun's now."

Heiji ran after the police officer as he led him into the small house. He eyed the place. There weren't much things. A small, square-ish room, there is a little blood that's dried near the corner, and a roll of tape. He could find an explanation for everything.

But the question was: Where were they keeping Kudo? Probably a warehouse but there were so many.

Heiji's phone began to ring.

He ran outside and pressed the talk button.

"Moshi moshi?"

"What's up... detective of the east?" he heard the man say.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU WANT? TELL ME NOW! I'LL DO ANYTHING JUST LET THE KID GO!"

"Wow.. calm down. Take it easy. You're so hot-blooded."

Heiji stopped yelling and the man resumed his talking.

"Now, I want you to bring that money today, at 6 pm to the warehouse near the plastic factory. ALONE. If I see any hint of police or someone other than you, that brat will die. Understood? This is your last chance."

"Wait! Can I talk to him?" Heiji asked hopefully.

"Hmm... Well, he doesn't look conscious right now but I'll try. See I'm not a really bad person after all." the man's voice sounded distant after that. "Hey kid. Your friend wants to talk to you. Hey! Hey!" Heiji heard Conan cry out in pain and then heard him talk into the phone with a pained voice.

"Ha-Hattori?"

"Kudo? You okay?"

"Not really.. but I can manage."

"Wait up, I'm coming."

"Hattori... listen to me. Make sure that you bring your skill with you."

My skill? What? Oh I see...

"Of course I will... I see what-" he said but he was interrupted by the yelling of the man named Ushiro.

"Are you making a plan in front of us? You think we're so stupid? Well, we'll see about that, kokosei-tantei and little tantei. I don't think that this brat," he paused and Heiji heard the sound of a hand hitting skin as Conan yelped. ",is in a condition to put up with whatever you're thinking. So good luck. But you won't put one over us. I'm prepared this time from this brat's attacks."

Click.

Heiji turned off his phone.

Don't worry. I won't let you down Kudo.

A/N: Now.. Will Heiji come with the police... or alone? Will Conan be okay... or not? Will those 2 idiots (Well, they are, for going against Conan and Hattori in the first place.) manage to run away...or will something different happen? WHAT ABOUT RAN? I'm currently writing chapter 7 so.. Review pleasee so I know what you think and I will update as soon as possible. Domo Arigato!
