You sped through the dark hallways, looking around for the famous phantom thief. You followed the little patches of white through the darkness, around corner after corner, through hallway after hallway. As you ran, you entered a pitch black room.

Pausing, your eyes squinted as you looked into the darkness, panting from running so much. Kaito Kid had run in here; you knew he did.

Far ahead, you saw something glint, and you knew for sure that it was Kaito's monocle. Without a second thought, you shot forward into the darkness, suddenly regaining your energy.

"You're mi~" you start to shout, but suddenly trip over something. You face slams down hard onto the linoleum floor, sending a shock of pain through you jaw, and out into the rest of your body. You start to try and push yourself up, but find you can't move. As you struggle, you hear something moving beside you. With a gulp, you look up, seeing the dark outline of a large display case falling right for you.

You take a deep breath and shut your eyes as you wait for the impact, but find yourself waiting a bit longer than expected. Finally you open your eyes to see Kaito Kid standing right on top of you, pushing the display case back into its original position.

"Wow, you're sure lucky I was here to save you," Kaito Kid laughs. He reaches a hand down to help you up. With a reluctant sigh, you take the gloved white hand and try to stand, but start to fall back towards the floor. Luckily, Kaito Kid catches you once again.

"My, you seem to be very clumsy today, don't you?" he smirks, his face close to yours.

You feel a small blush appear on your face as you push the thief away, wobbling a bit on your feet, but able to stand again. "Wh-what do you want?"

He looks you over with curiosity as you cross your arms. "You're new, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm the newbie, what of it?" you half-growl, expecting him to try and make some sort of fool out of you.

"I just find it amazing that you're the only girl on the task force," he smirks at you, stepping a little closer.

"Yeah, and it took a lot to get here, buddy," you say, looking up at him, realizing that he was about half a head taller than you.

"I would guess. May I ask, how old are you?"

"I just turned eighteen," you say, raising an eyebrow.

"I see," he says, a devious smile appearing on his face, along with a spark in his eye. He walks around you a few times, looking you over as you feel your face starting to turn red.

And suddenly it hits you like a ton of bricks. This was your chance to catch him. You spin around to face him, grab his wrists, spin him around, and slip out your handcuffs.

"Well, you sure caught me off-guard," he laughs. "But, I'm afraid I can't have you interfering with my heist."

Out of nowhere, there is a bright flash of light, blinding you as you raise a hand to cover your eyes. You feel Kaito slip out of your grasp, and the light disappears. Your eyes shot open, and you catch just a small flutter of Kaito's cape leaving the room. You immediately chase after him, still blinking rapidly from the light. Your vision is foggy still as you continue to run down the corridor, and seem to enter another room.

You continue through the room, when, just your luck, you trip over yet another random object that's lying on the floor, and your face hits the wall.

"Damn… it…" you huff, holding your head as you start your chase up again. You're vision is foggy again, and you feel extremely dizzy. "Kaito… Kid…" you growl as you stumble down the hallway.

Suddenly, you find your foot slipping down, and you realize in an instant that you're falling down a staircase. You thump down the steps for what seems like forever, taking multiple sharp hits to your head, back, arms, and legs. Finally, you roll off onto a landing, and you start to lose consciousness.

"Kaito…Kid…" you say without thinking as your breath shortens. "Help… me…"

The last thing you saw was a flurry of white, followed by endless black.

I have a thing for making people pass out... because it always makes for a good cliffhanger XD
