XXV: Kudou and Kuroba
There was a small crowd outside the entrance to headquarters. Kaito and Shinichi, both of whom had decided to visit the same coffee shop for breakfast, approached to see what the fuss was about.
"Kuroba-kun!" one of the officers cried, spotting the Division Three policeman. Kaito was promptly dragged unceremoniously into the midst of the press of bodies while Shinichi was forced to fight his way to the center. Kaito stared at the topic of the hubbub: a trio of men, all unconscious and all hamstringed in sturdy rope with a burlap sack tied securely to the man in the middle. They were all drooling, and the one on the left had a note pinned to his chest that read:
Officer Kuroba,
They had just finished robbing a jewelry store
while I was passing by and I could not resist
giving our upstanding law enforcers a hand or
two. Besides, we phantom thieves tend to be
rather territorial.
Sometimes a good Samaritan,
-Kaitou KID
P.S. Not that I'm complaining, but I feel like
I'm missing a few black and white projectiles
that need dodging at my shows. All that
exercise helps keeps me trim, you know…
"Wah! KID caught jewelry thieves for me!" KID's biggest fan sang giddily after reading the note.
"Has Nakamori-keibu been informed?" someone asked.
"What does he mean, 'black and white projectiles'?" someone else inquired.
Shinichi finally broke through the front line and skimmed the message before he stifled his laugher with a snort. Barou, he thought, watching as Kaito and a few others brought the men inside for questioning. You caught these men for yourself to allay suspicions about you being KID, didn't you Kuroba? And you even mentioned you knew I was Conan too. He chuckled as he stepped inside and made his way to his office. I'll be sure to bring a few soccer balls to your next heist to give you some exercise and all. I wonder how Hakuba's going to react…?
Author's Note: I so do love writing scenes with Kaito and Shinichi. And this was written in answer to Shana-Fujioka and Loner Kid's question regarding whether Kaito knew Shinichi was Conan or not. Figured it was a good way to let Shinichi know KID knew without giving away Kaito. I hope you enjoyed it.
