This is where the "flashback" ends…and Ankh is about to meet Shinichi Kudo's parents…but fist…see how our heroes would get out of a hostage situation…as this arc concludes here…
Shiho's mental musing over her tragic past is interrupted when she saw Shinichi's body slumped on the sofa and when she checked it, she realized that Ankh detached himself as Shinichi's hair color is natural, and wondered where the Greed went to, knowing that Shinichi's body would die if Ankh doesn't attaches himself onto Shinichi before the 10-minute limit expires.
"That Ankh...I'd better find him or else Shinichi's going to be in fix..."
As she is about to find Ankh, someone struck her from behind and she fell on top of Shinichi's body, and when she looked up, her eyes were filled with terror as the attacker turn out to be none other than Gin, holding a gun and is aiming hat her face, and he gloated that he will kill her right here and now.
"Hello, Shiho..."
"Gin!"
"Looks like I hit the jackpot...and with Shinichi with you...I can now have my desire fulfilled...killing you two at once...and my dreams will become a reality..."
"N-no...!"
Gin smirked as he pulled the trigger, but no bullet came out, which she thought it was a ruse and attempted to take a risk to protect Shinichi's comatose body, but then he tells her not to push her luck as he is playing a "Russian Roulette" and gives her a few moments to "pray" as the bullet is placed randomly in one of the five remaining slots of the gun's barrage ports and she realizes that she and Shinichi are in a fix.

After a few seconds, Gin then presses the gun's trigger, but nothing came out as this is the second bluff he pulled as he is tormenting Shiho before finishing her off. With four more slots before the trigger is pressed, Shiho stared wide-eyed in terror with Gin stood in front of her and Shinichi's body, as he proclaims that his goal has been achieved and will be bringing them to "Anokata" as a pair of corpses, which would earn him a promotion within the Black Organization.
"So...how long have you been hiding...? Must be nice...hiding here all this time..."
"How...how did you...?"
"It takes a clever mind to find you here...of all places..."
"Damn you..."
"And Shinichi Kudo...I see he's out cold or something...that's fine...at least he won't feel anything once I shoot him cold..."
"You...you wouldn't..."
"Don't feel bad...after finishing him off...you'll be next..."
"N-no...!"
Shiho thought of something in desperation to stall Gin and get help, and is about to shout for help when he aimed his gun's nozzle on her face, warning her not to do anything or the next press would be a "bullet on her brain", which puts her in her place and she braces herself for the "inevitable" moment that is about to happen. She wished that there is something she could do to save Shinichi and herself from his untimely death.
As Gin is threatening to shoot her if she does something foolish, Shintaro Gotoh happened to pass by the scene after noticing the lights were on, and saw Gin ready to shoot Shiho, so he sent a Taka Candroid to stop him, but then Gin saw the approaching mecha and shot it at point blank range, damaging it, but Gotoh moves in to try and disarm the BO member, but he managed to keep his distance and aimed his gun at his upper body, putting him in his place.
"Don't move."
"Blast!"
"Ah...another meddler...guess this game is getting more and more interesting..."
"Who are you? Are you a burglar?"
"No...but I'll be the one to sent you to your "maker"..."
"Watch out! He's from the Black Organization!"
"What? Seriously?"
"Looks like you know this as well..."
By then, Hiroshi Agasa and Shinichi's parents came barging in, having seen the commotion via the window as they just arrived, but Gin then pulled out another gun and everyone is kept in their places, telling them that he is going to take Shiho and Shinichi with him and those who try to interfere will be killed, and while everyone are thinking of something to disarm the BO member, Ran (whom Agasa and the Kudo couple met along the way and accompanied them to Agasa's house) managed to sneak her way through and was able to get close enough to use her karate skills to disarm him, but the blow sent him close to Shiho and Shinichi, and he pulls out a third gun and aimed at Shiho's head.
"Eeek!"
"Oh no...Shiho!"
"Nice karate kicks, bitch...but thanks to you I got close to my target..."
"Oh no...!"
"Now stay still...you...fatso with the glasses...bring me a rope and tie them up..."
"Darn...!"
"Now to call my comrades..."
As Gin is brought out a radio and about to call his accomplices, the scene took a different turn as Ankh, in his "monster hand" form, shows up and attaches himself to Shinichi's body, and there Shinichi gets up and Ankh's attributes are slowly revealed to Gin and Shinichi's parents, which the Black Organization member stared-wide-eyed at seeing this, and as he aimed his gun at him Ankh blocks the gun with his "monster hand" and when the BO member fired his gun, the gun instead exploded, and so was his right hand.
BA-DAM!
"AAAIIIEEE! my hand!"
Ankh gets up and glances at Gin, seeing that he is pulling out another trick by drawing another gun, but he simply raked his face, but this soon shows that it was not Gin as the face is revealed to be a latex mask and the man turn out to be a cannon fodder for the Black Organization, and there the man opened his coat, revealing that he is carrying a bomb around his torso, and as he is about to activate it, Ankh grabbed him by his neck and snapped it, killing him on the spot.
The scene slowly eased as the tension ended, but then a new one is about to take place, as Agasa is sweat-dropping at the scene before him as an assemble of people are standing, all looking in a calm, yet surprising looks at what they just witnessed.
Shinichi Kudo is standing before them with a monster-looking right hand attached onto Shinichi's body, holding a dead Black Organization cannon fodder. While Shinihi's appearance appeared to be the same, there are some differences, such as his hairstyle is "spiked up" like a Super Saiyan, with Kyuji Hino, who had just came down after hearing the commotion, looking on, he is at loss for words as to how he would explain to Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, Shinichi's parents, about the current situation, while Ran Mori also looks on, as she has no idea how to tell them that Shinichi is barely alive with the monster right hand possessing Shinichi's body to keep him alive.
"Is that really Shinichi, dear…?"
"I think so, Yukiko…even though his hair style's different…that face shows that he is our son…"
The monster hand that possessed Shinichi's body, Ankh, looks on in a neutral expression as he stood there looking like he is unconcerned about what others think while Kyuji is worried about where this would lead to, knowing that Ankh has quite a bad temper but he has to try and think of something to quell off the tension.
"Oh boy…this will surely took a while for them to understand the current situation…"
However, tension further escalated as the bomb strapped around the dead body started to beep and blink, and there Gotoh realizes that the bomb is being detonated and urged everyone to get out, but Ankh seemed to know what to do, as he carried the dead body on his shoulders and steps out, before summoning his right wing and flew into the sky, then threw the body upward, then descends to the ground, where you can see the dead body exploded in mid-air, and thus everyone is safe.
-x-
Back inside the Agasa house, Ran and Shiho berated Ankh for killing the cannon fodder as they believe that he may have some vital information on who sent him here, but he rebutted, stating that if he didn't the cannon fodder would have activated the bomb and the Agasa house would exploded and reduced to ashes, and that he has no interest in the BO other than Gin, whom he vowed to make him pay for costing him his ice cream.
By then, Kyuji is introduced to Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, and there the vagabond told him about the events that led him to meeting up with Shinichi, how the teen detective got mortally wounded up to where he met Ankh and why he let the Greed in keeping Shinichi alive, as well as about the Greed that are rampaging the city and even showed to them the Core Medals that he has, much to Ankh's chagrin, but the Kudo parents slowly understood the nature of the events and are rather relieved to hear that their son is alive, if only barely.
"...and that's how it happened..."
"So that's it...at least Shinichi is alive..."
"...even though our son looked different with his hair colored altered a bit..."
"Hey, Ankh...show them your Core Medals..."
"Do I have to?"
"At least they would understand and puts them at ease..."
"Grr...fine! You two...look closer!"
"Ahh...so that's it..."
"Interesting..."
Nevertheless, they reminded everyone that the Black Organization is still a threat, and Shinichi would be in bigger danger even if Ankh is currently possessing him, which Kyuji and Shiho nodded, while Gotoh is introduced and there the Kudo parents are told about the Kougami Foundation, and things went on well, until Yukiko started to "dot" Ankh, much to the Greed's dismay, as she finds him "cute".
"My...even though you possess my son's body...you almost looked like him..."
"Hey...what are you...?"
"You "spiky hair" suits you...you look so cute..."
"Hey! Knock it out!"
"I even bet that you'll attract a lot of fangirls..."
"First Shiho...then you! I can't stand it..."
"Shiho...would you like to flirt with Ankh-kun...?"
"Why you...!"
Yusaku then offered Ankh some ice cream which Ankh seem to accept and there things went well until everyone decided to rest of the rest of the night.

Nearby, the van is still there, but after seeing the Agasa house turning off the light, the vehicle then moves and leaves, where the driver turn out to be none other than Irish, and it is revealed that he is behind the disturbance, as he is merely testing things out to see what Ankh can do, and seeing things enough, he is satisfied and intends to make a plan that would have him come out so Irish can face and abduct him.
"So I was right...Shinichi is still alive...and that Greed is keeping him alive...now I can make my next move...!"
-x-
A few days later, Yusaku and Yukiko went with Kyuji and Ankh after the Greed sensed a Yummy, which belonged to Uva and the four of them went to a nearby place where they saw the Gokiburi Yummy eating a dump truck that is full of trashes, and there Ankh gives Kyuji the means to become O's, and there Yusaku and Yukiko saw how Kyuji transform and what role Ankh is playing, seeing that things looked well for now and watches them defeat the Yummy before going home.
-x-
Another few days later, the scene shifts to the Tokyo International Airport, where Kyuji, Agasa and Ankh sees off the Kudo parents as the two are heading back to the US for another "appointment", and said that they'll come back again and hoped that by then Shinichi would be fully recovered and that both the Greed and the Black Organization threats would be over. After that, the trio left as the Kudo parents left as well.
To Be Continued…
Hope you like this chapter, and the Kudo parents are relieved to see that their son is in "good hands", and this is where the flashback scene ends and now we move to the present…
Irish makes another appearance…and it is shown that he caused the "hostage situation", and given his hatred for Gin, he even makes his henchman disguise as Gin, since Irish's actions are secret, so the Black Organization is unaware of Irish's "unofficial" mission…
Preview:
A new story arc, and another detective assignment as Shiho and Ankh team up to uncover a human trafficking ring where it involves babies…
Yup, Ankh is once more forced to act as a detective…but since he has absorbed some of Shinichi's detective abilities, he'll have to make use of it…
And lastly, this also serves as a plot device that would introduce a new "combo"…so be on the lookout…
