"I'm heading out!" Ran announced as she headed to the door.
"Huh? Where are you going?" Mouri asked, looking up from his newspaper.
"Just out." She answered. Ran opened the door and was about to close it and leave, but peeked back in, "Oh and Conan-kun is at the professor's." She closed the door and left. Mouri sat there a moment and just shrugged his shoulders, going back to reading his newspaper.
"I see." Haibara said. "So the girl from the detective agency got an invitation to a villa hinting you'd be there. But you didn't get one?"
"Yeah..." Conan sighed.
"And? You didn't come here thinking I'd give you the antidote, did you?" Haibara narrowed her eyes.
"Eh? Come on!" Conan said. "Can't you make an exception? Just this once?"
"No! Anyway didn't you say that high school detective from Osaka would be going?" Haibara said.
"Yeah but-" Conan started.
"Now now you guys." said the professor. "Shinichi, have faith in Hattori-kun."
"I do but...I just want to be there." Conan said.
"I understand but I've told you a dozen times, if you keep taking it you may become immune and never return to your original body." Haibara stated.
Conan sighed "yeah yeah..."
"Hey, Kazuha! Hurry up!" Hattori yelled from his motorcycle.
Kazuha, who was still getting ready, yelled back. "One minute!" Geez, he's so impatient. She thought to herself. Kazuha grabbed a ribbon and tied her hair into a ponytail, got her phone and went out. "Okay, ready."
Hattori tossed her a helmet, "Good, now get on." Kazuha got on and they set off to the villa were the part was taking place.
They soon arrived at the villa, and Kazuha said, "That was surprising close by," as she got off the motorcycle.
"Yeah.." Hattori put the helmets away and they started walking to the door.
"Kazuha-chan?" said a familiar voice from behind. Kazuha turned around to see Ran.
"Ran-chan!" Kazuha threw her arms around Ran.
"So you guys were also invited?" Kazuha nodded. "What about Kudo-kun?"
"I talked ta him, said he wasn't comin'." Hattori said.
Ran looked at him confused, "But he told me he was."
Hattori grew shocked and said, in an irritated tone, "Why that lying-!"
"Heiji, calm down!" Kazuha said. Hattori just let out a "tch" and walked toward the door and the girls followed. He knocked at the door and waited a reply.
A young woman opened the door, "Yes? Oh, are you the last of the guest?" she asked.
Hattori shrugged, "I guess we are." They walked in and the first thing they noticed was Shinichi standing across the room, looking out the window. Ran was about to go up to him, but Hattori passed her up and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Damnit Kudo! Why the hell did ya lie to me on the phone? Ya said you weren't comin!" Hattori said.
Ran tried to step in but Shinichi looked over and said, "It's okay, Ran," then he looked at Hattori. "I just got the invitation after our phone call, and well, I just forgot to tell you."Hattori let him go and put his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah, okay.." I have a hard time believing this guy... Hattori shook his head Ugh! What am I thinking, it must be Kudo...No one can imitate voices except KID..and i see no reason why he would be here.
The girl who opened the door walked up to them, "Um, you two are the famous detectives Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, correct?" Hattori and Shinichi both nodded.
"Then do you know who invited us here?" asked a man from behind.
"Wait so it wasn't any of you guys?" Ran said looking at the four strangers in the room. They all shook their head.
"Well, can you tell us who you are, at least?" Shinichi asked.
"Ah, yes. My name's Kai Rike." said the girl who had answered the door for them. The man behind them introduced himself as Ume Hiroshi. Yuu Makoto was the other man in the room, and the final guest was Mikasa Nasai.
Once everyone had introduced themselves, they tried to wait around for the person who asked them to come. After a few hours had past Hiroshi said, "That's it! I'm going to my room, this guy has yet to show themselves. Call me if he ever shows up." and so he went upstairs and to his room.
"Well, how about I make everyone something to drink?" Nasai suggested.
Ran got up and said "I'll help." but Nasai said "Ah, no. It's okay. I got it."
She went to the kitchen and made everyone drinks. She walked back into the room and held one out, "Can someone take this to Hiroshi-san?"
Shinichi got up and took the drink, "I will. Be right back." he said as he went up to Hiroshi's room. Ran noticed something fizzing in the drink when he walked past her. Huh? She looked up at Shinichi as he walked upstairs. No, it couldn't have been anything bad. Maybe it was just the soda?
After Shinichi had came downstairs they heard a scream.
