Author's Notes: I hope that the prologue was interesting enough. I have a lot more planned for London in itself.


Chapter 1

Conan could hardly believe his ears. After all, he had never been to London, the birthplace of the Sherlock Holmes. Later that evening, he conveyed the same to the visibly surprised Professor Agasa.

"Turns out that the owner of the cat is really rich. She's paying for our travel expenses and our hotel!" he happily cried. Oh, how he longed to go to Baker Street, stroll through Hyde Park, visit the British Museum, explore the vast Dartmoor and maybe even see the Reichenbach Falls.

"Is it alright?" said Haibara Ai. Looking at her, Conan felt worried. That nonchalant expression belied something troubling underneath. "What about your passport?"

"Ah!" So that's what he'd forgotten about. Shoot, he had no way out of that conundrum. "Now look here," exclaimed Haibara, in a stern tone, "Edogawa Conan shouldn't exist in the first place. Someone like you can't go abroad without a care in the world."

"Hey, Professor! Make me a fake passport or something!", screamed Conan. He wasn't going to let his chance to visit the definitive Holmes place slip. This had been a providential turn of events, and he had no intention of forsaking it.

"Don't be ridiculous!" said the professor. "That's a crime!"

He felt Haibara's gaze piercing him intently. He then heard her what seemed to be pure gospel - at least to his ears.

A few hours later, Conan, or to be precise, Kudo Shinichi, sneezed. "Isn't the air-conditioning too strong?" he complained. The professor warned him not too stand out too much, which made sense as they were on the same plane as Ran and her hack detective father. Then again, they were in first class, so it didn't matter as much. As he waited for the plane to take off, he recalled Haibara's brilliant suggestion involving his turning back to Kudo Shinichi to go through customs without any hassle, and mentally thanked her. The shrunken Heisei Holmes couldn't wait to explore the adventures London held in store for him.


Ending notes: I can't wait, seeing as how I have a lot planned for these two detectives. I toyed with the idea of introducing Hakuba, but I feel that two genius detectives are enough. What do you think? Do let me know.
