Conan stared at his phone. His eyebrow was raised as he read the text on screen. A soft chuckle left his mouth as he read through the list, his mouth quirking up in a small smile. Beside him, Haibara gave him a quizzical look. "Something funny, Kudo-kun?" She asked. Quickly, the boy hid his cell phone and gave her an innocent look. She returned it with a suspicious one, but didn't reply.

The two of them were standing in an elevator, all alone. They were traveling to the top floor, where the latest KID heist would be held. Suddenly they came to a stop. With a ding, the doors slid open. A man who had been waiting there, stepped inside. The first thing they noticed were his clothes. He was dressed completely in black, with a dark fedora and a horseshoe mustache.

Conan did a double take. The man scowled at him. Slowly, the shrunken detective backed away. With fear lacing his voice, he choked out, "You're one of Them."

Haibara gaped as the man's eyes narrowed. The color had drained right out of her face, leaving it a ghostly white as her eyes went wide. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her breathing began to accelerate.

Ding! The elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open. Without a word, Haibara leaped out of the compartment and fled down the hall, getting more than one odd look as she ran. After a moment, the doors closed and they were moving again. Slowly, Conan and the man exchanged grins.

"Think she fell for it?" Heiji chuckled, reaching up to rub the makeup off his face.

Conan's mischievous grin was all the answer he needed.


So it's not exactly one of my best. Gomen, gomen. Inspired by one of those "annoy people in an elevator" lists. xD
