He searched all week about the hero of that night, and he was able to find nothing. Not a single thing that could help him even find the vigilante that he had met that fateful night. He did not even know if it was a he or a she but the few whispers that he and that was what he was going with. And when he listened when the arrests were happening he was able to get from the police that night they assumed that it was a guy, so it must be a male, right ?
The person hid in the darkness so well and it was like they were a part of it and knew it so well that even he was not that good, this person was a master and to him he was an amateur compared to this person and he needed to know more. He had to learn how to work in the darkness and move the way that person did in the darkness. That person's stealth and skills were beyond his and he wanted this person's help more than anything to help with Snake.
He had found out who the bad guys were and he was disgusted by what they had done and what they were doing. And it all was happening when he was pulling his Heist and they were talking advantage of this and it made him think that did criminals really take advantage of him distracting the police and essentially the enter world so that they could pull off their crimes and make a profit. He realized that he was indirectly at fault here because he did not realize that criminals here taking advantage of him pulling of his Heists and that is why so many criminals did not go after him and it was just Snake.
He tried everything he could in the police station to find something, so now he was at the Blue Poirot and he was looking on Google search engine to see if he could find anything but he was struggling with the right words.
" Young Master what are you looking for ? " said Jii.
He looked back as he sat in the seat.
" Oh, Jii you are old maybe you might know something " said Kaito.
" Oh! How can I help " said Jii not taking what Kaito had said as an insult.
" At my last Heist, I ran into people with guns...well I didn't really I saw them shooting and attack someone and they didn't even notice me their attention was preoccupied with someone and something else " said Kaito.
" I don't understand " said Jii confused.
" It was in the news ...about those girls found by the police and the Task Force " said Kaito.
" Oh " said Jii listening to what he had to say.
He read it in the newspaper and he found it horrible that it was happening and rumours and speculation no one knew what had happened that night only that arrests were made and the girls were rescued and were safe.
" It was a vigilante that really saved them " said Kaito.
" What ? " said Jii shocked.
" I met him, well I think it is a him and he looked like a Devil and they knew who he was the police and the bad guys but no one is say anything " said Kaito.
" He can't be back, can he ? " said Jii to himself.
" Jii...You know who it is " said Kaito hopeful.
Jii gave a grim nod.
" His name is Daredevil and he is the best that I have ever seen and I was just lucky enough to get away from him, no criminal has ever escaped his wrath but he did not think of me as the type of criminal he went after. And he just let me go with a warning that he would stop me if he had to and that is when I started to do magician work the next day " said Jii.
"...? " said Kaito.
" Is...is he... a threat to me ? " said Kaito.
" He is not a cold-blooded killer but many criminals have been on the brink of death at his hands. He is almost merciless in his actions but he gets the results that is needed and if he is back then that means the criminals are back and Japan is going back to the dark days or already has " said Jii.
" Jii what are you talking about ? " said Kaito.
" There will be an uprising in crime and criminals will be fighting for territory again " said Jii.
" Young Master, if they are coming into power then that means the Organisation is growing stronger than ever. There will be a power struggle like there was before and he was the one that put an end to it, he could have been the reason the Organisation has been dormant for so long and their return and his it is no coincidence " said Jii.
" Then we need help we will need to find this Daredevil and get his help " said Kaito.
" No...he is far too dangerous and brings death where ever he comes " said Jii.
" Jii...what are you not telling me " said Kaito.
" When I met him fifty years ago and he was supposed to have died around the same time " said Jii.
Kaito was left speechless.
" Sá. He...is like...me ...he is not the original...or he is now one of them " said Kaito sounding scared.
" We have to find him and find out just what he is up " said Jii.
" So, we are now hunting a vigilante to see if he is on the good guys side or the bad guys, I just hope he is on our side and when we meet again it is on my terms and not n his that way I can prepare for almost anything " laughed Kaito.
She had arrived in Edoka by the time school would be finished she could just imagine it Ran searching for her and she would be bad at her now and strangely ran was the only person that she was actually afraid of. She was not scared of anyone a part from Ran.
" Kaitou Kid "
She heard someone scream and she had to cover hears from the pain that she was hearing. That was the loudest voice that she had ever heard and it was one of the most painful ringing in her ears that she had ever heard.
" Who the hell was that ? " said Shinichi.
" That is Nakamori " said a young male voice.
" I am Hakuba Saguru and you are Kudo Shinichi it is a pleasure to meet you " said Hakuba.
He put out his hand to hers.
She reached out and shook it.
" Yes, I am Kudo Shinichi she said smiling " said Shinichi.
She stood up out of the car and she was ready to walk in when she heard something a heartbeat that she heard a few nights ago and it made her stumble and fall to the ground.
" Kudo are you alright ? " Hakuba helping her up.
She quickly got her wits together and she grabbed her stick.
" I am fine " said Shinichi getting to her feet.
" Just a few scrapes and bruises nothing to worry about " she said.
Hakuba to her arm helping her and he was going to guide her into the police station.
" I will help you in " said Hakuba taking her.
" Thank you " she said.
She scanned for the heart beat but she could no longer find it, it was gone and so was the person that it belonged to. Kaitou Kid lived here in Edoka and he knew someone in the police station and he was close to them there was no doubt in her mind. But was he here looking for her, she doubted it he would not know who she was but he could be looking for her. She did not believe in coincidences and she knew he was here for some reason.
" So, I hear that you are a part of the special unit " said Hakuba.
" Yes, I am here to help the girls from that night " said Shinichi.
Great he knew about the vigilante or at least he was onto it and he was investigating it and he knew that she knew all about it. But he did not know just how much she knew she thought as she chuckled in her mind. If this guy knew then there was a good chance he that there might be some evidence of Daredevil`s return or someone is talking or whispers are being heard. or some of the old enemies are still alive and now coming for her thinking that she is the original. Even though that is impossible because the original died fifty years ago. And she knew this for a fact because she was one of the few that knows what his real name was and she inherited the legacy from his adoptive son.
" I have to ask why do you think they will talk to you and not all else ? " said Hakuba.
" Because I am girl and I am blind " said Shinichi subtly.
This made Hakuba almost stumble.
She laughed.
" They are scared victims and they are scared of the way people look at them, and in a certain way and will judge them because of their appearance. And I will not I will judge the situation solely on the facts and the fact that I am close to their age so it much easier to talk to a peer and it is always easier to talk to another female about situations like this " said Shinichi.
She could feel him squirming and she liked it.
" So, what are you doing after this ..." he said nervously as he brushed his fingers through his hair.
She turned to face him.
" Because there is a Sherlock Holmes convention and I can tell that you are a fan " said Hakuba.
She thought about it.
" I would love to, though it is a little bad timing, considering...but ok "said Shinichi.
" Date ? " said Hakuba shocked.
" That is what you were asking, am I wrong ? " said Shinichi.
" Yes, no, I mean...let's just call it a date " said Hakuba and he basically scattered away before he could say anything or do anything stupid.
She just smiled at him.
She knew that he wanted information about Daredevil and everything she knew but it was funny because he was looking right at her and he had no idea, it was hilarious. She was going to get information from him of what speculated and what he was thinking and what others knew. She just had to know and she knew this guy was on the Kaitou Kid Heist and that the thief was here and maybe just maybe he knew who he was or had some idea so she could keep away from him as far as possible.
And maybe he was kind of cute and she did like his accent, it kind of reminded her of Sherlock Holmes kind of.
She went to talk to them.
She was glad that they did not recognize her and she was so grateful for that at because she did not want to be caught. This was the actual first time she talked to any victims as herself and as Daredevil and she was not going to make a habit of it because she did not believe in coincidence and neither did other people and they could start linking each link to each individual situation and she would be found out and likely killed. She just wanted continue with her work to avenge her loved ones and defeat them, she needed to put her past behind her and this was the only way she could see doing it.
She talked to them at first, they did not want to talk, they felt uncomfortable and vulnerable but in time they talked to her. She knew the right thing to say and to do at each and every time.
The men who kidnapped them were killed mysteriously in their jail cells overnight and she wanted to find out if they knew anything or even if they were suspects. The girls were not suspects and she was no lead left. But also because of this she had less suspects on her list and a clearer idea of what was going on. She had concluded that it must have been a police officers and it was likely that they were hired or blackmailed into it. She had seen this before and she was going to see it again and she could feel things were about to get worse and maybe it was going to be here in Edoka. They had moved their business after she ran most of them out of town and now they were shopping here and building their business trying to make it stronger and she was not going to let that happen, hell would freeze before she would allow that.
She did get one name from the girls. She promised that she would only tell the people that she trusted and that she would keep it off the record so that none of them would be in any danger and they would be safe. They had only seen in the inside of the container and the unconscious criminals and made their escape and that was what they were going with and that was what she was going to go along with as well. She knew they knew and they knew she knew. She told them that they could trust her and if anything was to happen, anything that she needed to know they could contact her at any time and ask for her help on the record or off the record she would help them.
And then she felt a cold brush of wind on her shoulder and go down her spine, one of them was still alive and he had just walked past her. And what was worse he had handcuffs and a gun he was a police officer and he was helping Hakuba and chatting to him as if he was a friend. She gripped onto her cane in anger as she had another enemy and another reason that she would have to be here.
" KUDO are you coming ? " yelled Sato waving happily.
" Yeah " said Shinichi barely paying attention.
She walked but she was not paying attention to where she was going as she was listening to what Hakuba and the enemy were saying as she listened to them.
" Tell me what you know about Kaitou Kid? " said the enemy.
" Tell me what you know about the vigilante? " said Hakuba.
Hakuba`s heart beat was steady and calm he had something and he had the upper hand because he could walk out the room happily. While the other heart beat was racing and he was sweating but he was hiding it well and the bruises and the bruised ribs that he had. But he had hidden it well, next time she was sure to make the beating more see able.
Hakuba sat down tapping his fingers on the desk, it annoyed her and the enemy.
" The vigilante as far as we know is called Daredevil and his fighting styles and everything is the same as it was fifty years ago and maybe just maybe he is the same person from before just like Kaitou Kid " said the enemy.
" Do you think they are both connected in some way and know each other ? " said the enemy.
" No Kaitou Kid does not tolerate any kind of violence of any kind and would never physical harm anyone it is his rule 'No one gets hurt policy and is the actual only redeeming quality about the thief. He is the only criminal that we know that will not harm anyone making him less than a threat " said Hakuba.
" I see " said the enemy.
" And the vigilante what do you know about him ? " said Hakuba.
" Just the possible name and gender that is it and that he is described as actually looking like a devil " said the enemy.
" And what of Kaitou Kid ? " said the enemy.
" I know ...(there was hesitation) he has dark brown hair...and he may or not be the original " said Hakuba.
Knock Knock
Someone had knocked on the door interrupting their conversation.
THUMP
THUMP
She was not watching where she was going and she had accidentally bumped into someone.
" WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING "
Screamed a voice at she knew it was Nakamori.
" Sorry " said Shinichi getting to her feet.
She heard a phone being dialled.
" Daredevil and Kaitou Kid are not connected so we are safe to go tonight and kill him "
" Good I am not wanting a vigilante in our way and what did you find out ? "
" Nothing that we do not already know...but we do have that gullible Detective looking into it know and he trusts me "
" Good job newbie and Snake will be happy this "
The phone was hung up.
The enemy within the police was taking to another enemy she heard that night another one had gotten away but she did not know how or who let them go.
" And here is your ...cane! " said Nakamori awkwardly.
And she just realized that every eye was on them and she could feel her cheeks going red from embarrassment.
She took her cane quickly from his hand.
" Thank You " she said.
She was feeling really guilty because it was her fault and not his, but no one would really believe that and were already blaming the loud-mouthed guy. And she walked away quickly beside a very pissed off Sato who was swearing under her breath and she could feel the growl that was on her face.
She had to get home as soon as possible and talk to Agasa she had to grudgingly had to save that stupid thief tonight because her enemies and she now knew that he had enemies as well and they were going after him. And she knew that she could not trust the police to do the right thing or even protect him because the enemy was in the police working there.
She had an advantage that night because they did not expect that she was coming and she was going to use that to her advantage. And she also to keep away from the stupid thief she did not want another weirdo in her life, she did not consider him an enemy but a pest and something that could get in the way and cause her trouble. She had to help him with him getting in her way or him finding her, she did not want to deal with his annoyance she was still annoyed that he was clapping at her. He might as well have held a neon light saying 'here I am'. She could smell the bleach in his coat and she knew that he wore white and if he used bleach then it must have been that bright. And he had actually shouted at her calling her 'Hero' and she knew that he did not mean it, she could hear the hesitation and feel his emotions he did not like her methods and he was going to give her lecture coming and she bolted it.
" Hey has anyone seen Kudo, we were supposed to..." said Hakuba before getting cut off.
" She is away " said Aoko mad at her father he could see.
" Why ? " said Hakuba.
" Dad scared her off by yelling at her " said Aoko.
If there was one person the Task Force were more afraid of than Kaitou Kid or Nakamori and that would be the Inspectors daughter who was now giving him a lecture. The Task Force watched but did not mean to, they did not know where to look without making things awkward.
