Saguru ran full out until he was blocks from the park. Rain started pounding on the two detectives. The teen carefully unwrapped Conan. The kitten suddenly stirred; prying one eye open.

"Conan! Are you alright?" The kitten shook his head slowly. He winced in pain.

"Hold on, I'm going to get you some help." The teen pulled out his phone.

Conan started struggling. Despite how much it looked like it hurt. Quickly, Saguru shifted Conan so he was mostly tucked inside his jacket.

"Quit that! Your just going to become more injured." The kitten stopped struggling. Saguru scrolled through his contacts and made a call.

"Mio, hi. Are you busy right now?" He asked hurriedly.

"Saguru, what trouble are you getting into now?" A female voice answered "Did Watson get injured?"

Saguru chuckled slightly. "No he's fine. I've got a friend's kitten here that was attacked by some dogs and..."

"Say no more kiddo." Mio stated. "Where do I pick you up?"

"Know where Ekoda park is?"

"Sure do! Where are you?" She asked.

At the south end of the park. Near the shopping district." Saguru informed.

"I'll be there in 20min." The phone went dead and Saguru pocketed it. He sat on the bench and waited. The rain kept falling. It was cold and soon water was soaking into The teen's clothing. He stared into space until a car pulled up near the entrance. A young woman got out of the car and walked towards the detective. She was a taller woman. With brown hair reaching down to her waist. She was wearing a simple dark tee and cargo shorts.

"Where is the patient?" She asked cheerfully. Saguru looked up through his soaked bangs. His expression was grim to say the least. "That bad huh?" Saguru nodded and unfolded the cloth covering the shivering kitten. It was obvious that Conan's condition was getting worse in the rain. Mio crouched down to get a better look.

"Is there anything you can do?" Saguru asked looking up at Mio. It took all his power to keep his voice steady.

"I'm not going to lie to you, it doesn't look good." Saguru's eyes drifted down.

"The first thing we need to do is get you two out of the rain." Saguru nodded. He slowly rose up off the bench. As he took a step he realized how stiff his joints had become. He reached the car and got in.

The two arrived at a small apartment with a vet clinic on the main floor. Saguru followed Mio inside, past the empty receptionist's desk and into the single examination room.

"Put the kitten on the table. I'm going to wash up and get ready. The teen nodded and Mio left through the door. Saguru gently laid the kitten on the table. He left for a second to grab a towel. As he was gently patting off the still shaking kitten, Mio walked back into the room. She was wearing a pair of navy blue scrubs.

"Go have a shower. I brought your scrubs out of storage and are in the bathroom upstairs." She said as she put her hair in a ponytail. "I'm going to have a look." She walked over and started looking over the kitten.

Saguru nodded and left the kitten on the table. After dawning his pair of green scrubs, Saguru came back down to find Mio setting Conan inside the x-ray room. He watched helplessly as the picture was taken. The detective was given the all clear to grab the kitten. He then placed Conan on an examination table.

"There is a Saline bag in that drawer. Grab it and place it on the IV stand." Mio instructed. Saguru nodded and fixed the bag. Mio grabbed a small oxygen mask and placed it on the cat. Saguru watched in suspense as the vet prepped a small syringe of medication and injected it via a small valve in the IV line. After shining a light in Conan's eyes, Mio started carefully prodding at the patch of blood matter fur on the kitten's thigh.

"In there is some needle and thread." Mio pointed to a drawer on the other side of the room. "Pass them over." Saguru nodded and fetched them. Mio grabbed a small pair of fur clippers. She clipped a patch of fur; revealing a huge gash mark. Saguru watched in amazement as Mio sewed the wound with a practiced hand. He had watched her treat animal's before. It never ceases to amaze him just how good she was at her craft. After some smaller cuts were treated and wrapped. She then turned her attention to the x-ray.

"What's the damage?" He softly asked turning to Mio. She was staring intently at the x-ray on the wall.

"Well, he's got some fractured ribs." She pointed to a specific area on the x-ray. Saguru walked over and bent over to get a better look. "The cutie also has a small fracture on his cranium." The vet commented as she pointed to the scull. "However, none of these seem life threatening."

Saguru let out a pent up sigh. "So he's going to live?"

"He's not out of the woods yet. So far I can't see any complications so far. I will need to keep him here for now. Has his owner been informed?"

"Huh?" He answered unintelligently.

"You said your friend's cat. Does he know what happened?"

Saguru shook his head. "He's gone missing. Actually this is part of a case."

"Then what are you doing standing here? Go find him!" She squealed, pushing him towards the door. Saguru turned his head to get one look at the unmoving kitten. Still laying helplessly on the table.

"But what about Tentei Kun?" He asked.

"Don't worry." She said cheerfully. I'll call you when he awakes." After retrieving his soaked clothes, Saguru left the small vet office. It was still pouring outside. The rain dampened the ambient noise outside. It caused the world to become unnaturally quiet. The detective looked up at the angry sky.

'Kaito mark my words. I'm going to find you.'
