Hakuba blinked his eyes open... to see darkness. For whatever reason, he was laying face down on something that was definitely not his bed nor the floor. And as he was fairly certain he had fallen asleep on the bed that night, the British detective was naturally confused to find himself elsewhere. But this confusion quickly grew as he heard the noises surrounding him. Along with something that surrounded suspiciously like gunshots, there was a lot of shouting.
"Hattori, would you shoot the damn wheels already?"
"Well excuse me for not being able ta aim straight when yer doing freakin' wheelies with th' car!"
"You know, Tantei-han, this would be a lot of fun if we weren't fighting for our lives."
"Actually I'm pretty sure I'd be having a heart attack if we weren't fighting fer our lives."
"Would you shut up and shoot the car?!"
Blinking in pure confusion, Hakuba lifted his head. He quickly took note of several things.
1) He was in a car
2) Hattori Heiji was sitting next to him with a gun
3) Kaitou KID was sitting in front of him with a gun
4) Kuroba Kaito was at the wheel, cussing out his armed companions as he pulled a hairpin turn on only two wheels
The detective blinked. Just as he opened his mouth to ask what the hell was going on, KID turned around. There was a grin on the thief's face, and Hakuba had to wonder how it was possible for KID and Kuroba to be in the same place at the same time. "Good evening, Tantei-san!" He greeted casually. "If you're wondering why you're here, it's because your house is currently being burned to the ground and we had to rescue you unless you wanted to be burned with it. You didn't want that, did you?" Hakuba only gaped at his rival. Taking that as a yes, he added, "That's good. I'd hate to think you were suicidal. By the way, I don't believe you've met Tantei-kun. Hakuba, this is Kudo. Kudo, Hakuba."
"Pleasure," The driver grunted. It was only then that Hakuba realized he was looking at Kudo Shinichi. The Tokyo detective suddenly jerked the wheel and KID let out a yelp as he was thrown against the window.
"Shi-! KUDO! Would ya quit trying to kill us?" Heiji snapped. "We're holding loaded guns, ya aho!" As though to emphasize his point, he quickly spun in his seat to stick the gun out the window and fire off another volley of bullets.
For whatever reason, Shinichi decided it was safe to not only take his hands off the wheel, but also turn around in his seat to glare at the Osakan detective. "Would you rather have your head blown off? No? Then shut up and let me drive!"
"I'M NOT STOPPING YA!"
"Um, Tantei-kun? Tantei-han?" KID cut in.
"WHAT?!" They both snarled.
"TRUCK!"
With a loud curse, Shinichi turned back to the wheel and spun it to the side. Hakuba let out a girlish scream as the car swerved straight off the road and onto the slope beside it. The car jerked and shook as it roared along the uneven surface at top speed, narrowly avoiding the huge truck that barreled past. The blond teen's jaw dropped. Closing his mouth, he let out a loud whimper.
Hearing the fearful noise, Heiji smirked and turned to Hakuba. The Osakan pulled out a second gun and pressed it into his neighbor's hand. "Take this," he snickered. "Yer gonna need it. OI, KID! Try using yer smokescreen!"
"All out!" KID called back. Then he grinned and held up a silver can. "Though I do have some heated oil and matches."
Staring down at the gun in his hands, Hakuba felt very faint.
Durp. Inspired by the last chapter, when KID was telling Aoko about the car chase. xD
