Episode 20: Take Down The Black Organization, Part 1

Earlier that night still..

"Where the hell is my daughter?!"

Richard was getting mad, that's for sure. Vivian wasn't sure how long they could keep him here before he went off in search of her.

"Sh, please, Richard. Calm down She's safe with Jimmy and the little Vi girl."

"What, Kudo's with her?"

"Yes."

That just made him more angry. "What the hell is she doing with-"

"Those three are in the most danger," Booker said calmly, looking over at the window but keeping a safe distance from it. "Jimmy's gotten himself into a little bit of trouble, and since we're all connected to him, they're coming after anyone who knows him and who might know where he is."

"So this is all because of the brat getting into some stupid trouble?"

"They're lives are in danger, Richard. Everyone of our lives are. While you two don't know everything, you still know him and they'll come after you."

"Shh, everyone be quiet." Booker said immediately as he walked over to the window, peeking out.

"Booker...what is it?"

"...A black porsche."

.

A sigh came from the Detective of the West as he lay on his back on the bed of his hotel room, staring up at the ceiling. It wasn't much of a room but eough to do him until...

Well, he didn't know how to finish that sentence. He had his cellphone on resting on the night table beside his bed, waiting for it to ring. He knew Rachel had her phone too, so he was waiting to hear something from her.

He couldn't sleep. As he didn't get a call from anyone, he couldn't help but think. Had the men in black found them? Did they have Kudo? Was he even alive anymore?

"Gah... stop it, Harley. You're just makin' your brain hurt."

He sighed once more and flung his legs over the side of the bed, getting up. He hid beside the window, taking a quick peek out.

Just in time to see a black porsche drive by.

"It's getting close... damn, Kudo... you'd better be safe."

.

Morning...

Rachel, Vi and Conan were starving. But there were no restaurants until they reached the busier part of town. No food was in the house and they didn't feel safe taking even taking a step outside.

In the early morning, Rachel's cellphone finally rang. She jumped when she felt it first vibing in her pocket, and immediately took it out.

"Harley?"

"Good, are you all alright?"

"We're fine. Anything happen on your end?"

"I saw the black porsche, early in the morning. It didn't stop at the hotel, it drove right passed."

Harley told her what hotel he was at and she frowned, looking at the two children now asleep on the couch. Neither of them had gotten much rest last night.

"That's bad... they're close by."

Closer then Rachel would like.

.

"They're not anywhere around here," sighed Vodka.

"Sherry probably told them that we were suspicious and so they all went into hiding. Looks like their parents have done the same... wise."

"But we'll still find them. Right partner?"

"Right. Hmm...what's this?"

Gin drove the porsche into a deserted area of the town. There were only a few small houses, close together. None of them looked like somebody lived there.

But Gin had a feeling.

"Check all the houses," he ordered. "It's a perfect hiding spot."

.

Conan's eyes snapped open a little less than an hour after he'd fallen asleep. Something didn't feel right.

Getting up without disturbing Vi, he glanced at Rachel. She was sleeping in an armchair near the couch. Smiling faintly, he continued over to the window, leaning against the wall beside the window and peeking out.

All color instantly drained from his face.

It was them.

Running over, he thought about waking Rachel and Vi. But it was his fault he'd gotten them into this mess. It was his fight.

He wanted to meet them alone.

Maybe then he'd remember, and he could take them down.

He did walk over to Rachel, and so gently kissed her lips she wasn't sure if she felt it at all. Maybe it was just a good dream.

''...If I don't make it out of this...I want to tell you... I love you."

With that, he looked at her one final time, before he turned around and walked over to the door.

'I'm ready...come and find me.'

He had a few of Conan's gadets on him, but he doubted they'd be much help if they had guns on their hands. Which he was sure they did.

'I'm sorry I've gotten you all involved in this.'

He slowly opened the door.

And once he stepped outside, he came face to face with Gin.

"Well, well... it's certainly been a while.. Jimmy Kudo, or is it Conan Edogawa now?"
