Puzzle

Kaito grinned, loosening his tie with one hand as he gazed through the night vision binoculars he held in the other. His attention was focused on the scene unfolding below. Nakamori was ranting, as usual, and snarling quite vociferously into the faces of any poor passer by he could get his metaphorical hands on. Kaito almost felt bad for them. Almost.
Scanning the crowd again he soon pinpointed Hakuba, Hattori Heiji, and....skimming down toward the two detective's legs he found Edogawa Conan.
Kaito's smirk widened further into that classic Kid grin of his, "Hello Tantei-kun, what are we up to?"
The tiny detective appeared to be plucking disgustedly at his cloths and, as he watched, pulled another long strip of tape off. Kaito snickered. Really, the little brat had been asking for that! He'd nearly taken his head off with that ball, and then almost darted him in the face before he'd managed to use his sleeping gas on him.
That one had been almost terrifyingly close. In fact, the thrill was still singing in his veins.
Despite his teasing, Tantei-kun really had been in wonderful form tonight. The boy was nothing but a puzzle wrapped in a puzzle, and entombed in an enigma. While mysteries really were more the detective's thing Kaito's own curiosity was nagging at him, and had been since he'd first faced down little Edogawa Conan on a hotel rooftop.
"Botchama..."
Kaito held up his hand, "Hold on a moment, Jiichan."
Tantei-kun was looking downright sour by now, and Kaito figured that one of the other detective's was saying something to him. Then, a second later, the little detective's head snapped around and Kaito sucked in a breath. If he hadn't been on top of a multi-story building, a decent distance away, he'd have sworn the brat was looking straight at him.
It was probably a good idea to get going. Just in case.
Handing the binoculars to Jii, Kaito turned away to finish changing into a disguise and street cloths. This heist was at an end.
