It's been a three days, and still no sign of Kuroba Kaito. A missing person's report was finally issued.

Hakuba does his best to trace Kuroba's footsteps. But still nothing.

After four more sleepless nights...

Hakuba wakes up to see a familiar face in the moonlight.

"K-Kuroba?!" Hakuba yells.

Looking at Kuroba now, he's a mess. Obviously malnourished and dehydrated. 'So thin...'

"...help..." Kuroba mutters before he loses consciousness.

"Oi!" Hakuba grabs his waist, supporting him.

Hakuba sighs as he puts Kuroba down on his bed before calling an ambulance...and arrangements to put Kuroba under police protection in case whoever kidnapped him comes back.

'And they probably will...' Hakuba huffs as he gently pets Kuroba's hair before holding his hand. If only to make sure this isn't a dream and that he's still there. Alive.

Kaito wakes up in the hospital, police officers guarding him.

"You're awake?"

"Hakuba..."

"I was so worried!" Hakuba hugs Kaito.

Kaito sighs, "How long have I've been out?"

"Two days."

'Two days... They're probably waiting for the right moment to kill me.'

"Hakuba.."

"Yeah?"

Kaito states, his serious poker face on, "I need a computer, and could you call the PSB?"

Hakuba nods, "Uh... what should I tell them?"

"Tell them that I have an entire organization after me."

"...an- an entire organization?!"

"Yup."

"Is this related to-" 'KID?'

"Yes."

"O-OK."

Hakuba does as he's told by Kaito.

He gets Kaito a computer, who immediately turns it on, typing nonstop as Hakuba makes the call to the PSB.

Of course, the PSB immediately agree to put Kaito Kuroba under their protection.

Once Kaito was done typing, he smirks, KID-like.

Hakuba shivers at that smirk, and wonders, 'What's he planning now?'

"Hakuba, could you hand me the phone?"

Hakuba hands Kaito the phone, cautiously waiting for whatever move the magician's about to make.

"Hello?" Kaito smiles, the laptop on his lap.

"How did you get this number?"

"Kazami-san~ that's not important right now. Get me in touch with Zero."

"...Uh..."

"Furuya-san, Amuro Tooru, or Bourbon. I don't care which face he's using right now. Just get him on the phone!" Kaito growls.

"OK OK!" he panics before hanging up.

"..."

"Who are you?" a different voice answers.

"Kuroba Kaito...or you might know me as Kaitou KID."

'That boy...' "What do you want?"

"I'm sending you all the data I've got on that organization that's hunting me right now~," Kaito clicks on the laptop, sending the data to Kazami and Furuya before huffing and complaining, "Honestly... that stupid Snake should've just shot me and left me for dead instead of putting me in a dog cage and leaving me to die in their own headquarters."

"...Snake?"

"I know him as Snake, you know him as Jackal. He's been trying to kill me for a while now."

"...I got the data, KID."

"Good!" Kaito grins, "As soon as I recover, I'll do what I do best at. Being live bait for those bastards. But until then... Furuya-san, please kick them into the depths of despair for me!"

"...I'll do my best," Furuya sighs despite being ordered by a revenge hungry teenager.

"Thank you! Bye!" Kaito hangs up.

Meanwhile, Hakuba's having a meltdown with all this new info dropped on him like a bomb.

He does agree that Snake/Jackal is stupid for leaving Kaito in his own headquarters alone with no one supervising him. That was just asking for trouble.

'Still...an entire organization's trying to kill Kaito... Should I be worried about his mental state?' Hakuba thinks to himself before seeing Kaito so cheerful about the organization's destruction.

Shaking his head, 'Nah... Kaito's probably fine. He's mentally tough but...' he hugs Kaito again regardless.

"What're you doing?" Kaito blinks at him.

"Just thought you needed more hugs," Hakuba excuses.

"...OK," Kaito agrees, and lets Hakuba hug him as much as he wants.
