She had followed the Bulky guy into now what she was recording on her phone for evidence was an actual transaction going on between the Bulky guy and another guy.
'Blackmail' thought Shinichi.
She listened in on the conversation it was obvious what was going on and now she had the face of the guy that had been supplying the guns into her City and she was now a step closer than ever. She smiled at the thought of this she was getting closer and it had been because of this stupid Bulky guy did not watch his back.
As she listened in moving in closer so she could record with her phone her shoulder started to hurt making her back away and she almost dropped her stick and her phone at the same time. She leaned against the wall as the man that was being blackmailed was starting to leave and she put her stick down and started to record him leaving as she paid attention to Bulky to see what he was doing. And she stepped forward getting closer as she could hear his heartbeat so that she could remember it well. His heartbeat was so quiet and calm so could barely hear it and with that stupid drug in her system and concussion she was limited to a very few things that she could do right now.
She put her phone back in her pocket securely knowing that the video was recorded and she had the evidence that she needed to catch them and possibly legally and by the law. It was the way that she wanted it in the first place and so did her parents, maybe it was finally over and she could finally be happy and it would just be all over.
She got closer and all her attention was on this and she was not going to let anything get in her away.
She smiled thinking it was almost over, thinking of what know could be and what she could do with her life in the future.
But then.
" That is enough eavesdropping their Detective " said a dark voice.
" Huh? " she said as turned her head.
As she could now hear the very faint heartbeat as she never had heard one so quiet.
But then she was hit on the back of the head as she turned around by something hard and it was a pole or something. She realized that it was her own stick that she had stupidly left just lying at the side and it was now used against her as a weapon and this one was just a normal one not a weapon.
The pain was searing and painful as hell and she was beginning to black out but was still conscious enough to hear what they were saying and no more else.
" Anki ? " said Bulky surprised.
He was now stepping forward and closer to her and towards the guy that had just hit her on the head.
There was two of them and she was too injured to defend herself or even get up. And she could feel their emotions and everything that they were she knew it she was going to die here in this place of all places. An amusement park well she was not used amused about this or any of this and she did not expect to die here of all places.
" You let the girl wonder follow you " said Tall and sinister.
" It is not like she has seen anything ? " said Bulky.
Then she felt a pair of cold hands go into her jacket pocket and take out her phone and she could hear that the phone was thrown to Bulky. And that he was the idiot of the two and the tall guy was clearly in charge from the start, just some clichés are true and some are not when it came to these two.
" Just because she is blind does not mean she is stupid and cannot see in others way " said Tall and sinister.

She knew that sound and even as she tried to move she could not.
It was a loaded gun and she was betting that it belonged to the guy that was just blackmailed and everything was just following into place, it was so much bigger than she first thought it was. She knew that she was going to die here tonight but the one thing they would never have from her was fear because she was never scared of them. And this was just something they would never have or know about her secret because she already had things in place if anything was to happen if she died.
" Then I guess I will just have to get rid of her the old-fashioned way " said Bulky.
The gun was now pointed at her head.
But there was no silencer is all she knew and she really fading out now.
" Hold on we can't afford to leave a bullet trail right now with that thing running around right now. So, let's use this our latest experiment the latest gift from our beloved Organisation. And she would be an interesting and the first of our human guinea pigs given the way she is and they say it cannot be detected in any autopsy's" said Tall and sinister.
She felt her lift being lift as an arm yet cold hand like a doctor was put on top of her head and then pulled at her hair lifting her head up and her jaw dropped up. And then something was put and dropped in her mouth and then she felt the water coming to her and put in her mouth making the poisoned pill that she now knew go down her throat as she was forced fed it. And then her head was dropped again and she knew that she was finished and that they were finished with her and for good.
" Sweet dreams Detective! " said Tall and sinister coldly and victoriously amused at him.
And she felt and heard them runaway from her leaving her to die alone and to get away forever from their crimes leaving no evidence in their trail. And committing the perfect crime of murder and it was hers and it was a pity because she could not solve the perfect murder because it was her own and solving it would be impossible.
All she knew there was twelve of those pills in that case and now there would be an eleven and that would be more deaths like hers and the police had no idea about it.
And then she felt the pain coming, it was surging and it was like she was on fire and that she was in that house again. It was so hot, she was hot it was like she was on fire and it felt like her blood was boiling so much that steam was coming from it and she swear that there was as she could feel it and see it. It was like her bones were melting so much that they were melting like a candle becoming wax and she was the candle.
She had felt some serious pain her life before but she had never felt like pain like this before and she did not know how to handle this pain and she knew that she could not.
" AH! " she screamed in pain as she clutched onto the grass digging her fingers into the ground and taking a chunk of it out of the ground.
' It is too much it is just far too much' she thought and then she blacked out at that moment.
She then started to wake up as she looked at the ground and could see the grass and still feel the pain that was coming from her head.
'I guess I am still alive after all' thought Shinichi as she looked at the ground.
And then she saw her shadow as she started to sit up in pain and then froze in shock of what she was seeing.
That she was seeing.
" I can see! " said Shinichi completely shocked and almost speechless as she just looked at it.
She was almost too afraid to move or do a single thing because she was not sure what was happening right now because she started to cry joyful and happy.
" I can see " she said to herself.
She looked at her hand and then titled her head it looked just the same as it did before the last time she saw it.
Right not she was not sure of what was happening and she was struggling more than anything to understand what was happening. And she struggled to remember what was her last memory and what just happened.
And then she did.
'Am I dead ?' thought Shinichi almost joking to herself but she was not sure.
But the pain, pain was proof that she was alive, right ?
And the flicker of memory came back she remembered what happened and she shivered at the thought of it. She was force fed a poison that was meant to kill because that was what those guys had said but instead it had given her eyesight back and she was no longer blind. Even with the pain of the headache was happy but the thought of those strange guys that she knew nothing about terrified her. All she knew that she was in danger and that they could not know that she was alive or she had no idea what would happen but death and more death to go along with it.
Then she closed her eyes as lights were being shined in her eyes.
'Torches ?' she thought.
Then she saw them they were security guards and it was night and she then realized that she must have been there for a lot longer than she first thought she was. She had been here for several hours or even more.
" See I told you someone was here " said one of them.
And of the lights were now beaming on her and she had to cover her face as she was still trying to get used to the idea of lights and it was far too light.
" We are here to help you little girl " said one of them nicely putting out his hand trying to friendly.
And she thought it was nice.
' Little girl ?' she thought.
But she then looked at her hand again and she realized it should not be this size, and that it should be bigger and that she should be bigger much bigger than she was.
She was scared and she very shaken at this point and the only though that came to mind was.
'RUN !'
And she did run as fast as she could be ignoring the pleas of the security guards and their lights and she did not stopping running until she was out of breath and needed to stop. She stopped shaken as she clutched onto the wall as she took a deep breath to relax and was sweating like hell trying to catch a breath.
"This, this can't be! " she said to herself horrified to what she was seeing.
And then she saw it in the glass window it was her own reflection and it was almost like the last time she saw her own reflection. But she looked like she was two years younger and she was a lot smaller. She remembers when she was almost eight years old that she had quite the growth spurt and had grown an inch or two. So, she was no more than six or seven years old and this was far too unbelievable to be true, it was just not possible and she was struggling to believe what was happening.
She had to go home back to Edoka for help.
No ...she shook her head in thought and in sadness as she remembered that she did not live there anymore. And she now lived here in Belka " Where she was right now and she was struggling to remember her way home back to where she had lived.
She closed her eyes and tried to remember it as a child and she could and could not as she half walked back home with her eyes half closed and open trying to find the way back. And it took some time as she made her way back as she wanted to take everything in and see everything and how it changed and not had changed. Just everything that she was seeing was amazing and she just did not want to forget this not ever.
But she had finally made it back to home.
And her face was grim as she looked up at the giant gate that was standing in her way of getting into the Mansion that was now in front of her. She did not think that her house looked this creepy and looked this bizarre standing out from the others and how it was so different from the others.
She tried to get in the gate by climbing it because she was far too small to put the keys in as she climbed and held them in her mouth but it did no good. And what she was wearing her own clothes were now too big for her and was weighing her down, it was like they weighed just the same amount that she did.
She was struggling and struggling, and she needed help so much.
And then she heard Agasa coming around the corner and after a tough explanation and trying to get him to believe her she was finally able to get him to open the gate and let her into the house.
There was something off about her.
Other than the size of course he could tell that there was something off and by her behaviour and even nature she was acting different.
And it had finally crossed his find of what it was.
Of all clothing that she had as a child at this house why did the only one that would fit her would be a freaking skirt that was pink and glittery with a freaking head bow to match. The whole outfit was pink and looking at it, she hated it and she just wished that she could not see it. And that she could get the mental image of this out of her head forever but sadly she knew that this was not going to happen.
She looked around the library amazed of what she was looking at, there was so many books and it was almost countless that there was so many of them and they were all just mainly mystery novels. She was amazed that she did not see this before and that she had been living here for so many years and did not realize this.
***Coughing***
Shinichi quickly turned her head to see that Agasa had a First Aid Kit in his hands and that he had some questions to ask her.
" What do you remember ? " said Agasa.
'Weird question' she thought.
And after a couple of questions later a weird question came up and she had no idea what he was taking about or why he was asking it.
" How is Daredevil going to be taking action about this now ? " said Agasa.
" Daredevil ? " said Shinichi.
She was not sure what he was talking about as if he was talking about a person or referring to something else that she was supposed to know about and she had no idea what he was talking about.
" I see " said Hakase.
And he looked at her then she could see that he was in deep thought and it was about her and her current situation. And there was something else in his face she could see it and she wanted to know it more than anything, she wanted to know what he knew and she wanted to know now.
" Hakase ? " she said as she looked up at him.
But she was shocked by what happened next.
" If they men in black knew that you were alive then they come and kill you and we cannot have that. You can't tell anyone Shinichi! You can't tell anyone what happened! " said Agasa shaking her in a warning way.
" I know " said Shinichi.
" Not even Ran " said a hysterical Agasa.
She paused for a moment but then she shook her head in agreement.
" SHINICHI! " screamed Ran.
Making both Shinichi and Agasa jump in fright as they heard her coming down the hallway.
" You did not lock the door! " said Shinichi panicking and scolding him at the same time.
But they still could hear Ran coming and then Shinichi realized that the lights where now on and she would regularly never have them on because she never needed to. And only had them on when she had company and right now that was herself and Agasa. and also, should that she was home right now and a way for Ran to make one of her dramatic entrances and demanding ones at that.
Shinichi and Agasa both started to panic as they could hear Ran coming and there was no way out and not enough time to think of a plan. But the only thing she could think of to do was hide and the only place that she could see was a half decent hiding place was underneath the table desk and did it.
" Shinichi are you in here ? "
" You said that you would call me but you still have not? "
And Ran was now in the library with the two of them while they were trying to hide a dark from her and hide Shinichi`s current situation from her.
" Agasa ? " said Ran.
" Ah yes Ran " said Agasa sweating.
" Where is Shinichi ? " said Agasa.
While Shinichi half listened to their conversation for some reason she got it into her head that she would need a disguise even though she did not want Ran to see her like this or know anything about this. And she was sure as hell sure that she did not want Ran to see her like this because she was still getting used to seeing it and actually seeing. And she wanted more than anything to speak to Ran and telling her everything and the fact that she could now see. And the feelings and emotions she was unknown right now and would be forever and this was the best and worst thing to ever happen to her at the same time. And there was the possibility that she was in shock still and because she had her head hurt and everything else. She was not sure if she had any brain damage or something like that but all she knew that she was having a little trouble remembering a few things but she did not want to mention this because she thought it would be for the best. But she did not know why she was thinking this but she knew it was something that she wanted more than anything.
" OUCH! " she said as she clutched onto a pair of glasses.
She was thinking of using them as a disguise but she wore glasses everyday and Ran saw her with them and she would so recognize her with them on or the other hand ? Thought Shinichi.
Ran was now kneeling on the floor beside her and she had her back turned panic.
" Hello there " said Ran.
"...! " said Shinichi.
" Oh, there is no need to be shy little girl " said Ran.
Shinichi was mentally sweating as she slowly turned around.
" This girl! " said Ran.
'Eek! " thought both Shinichi and Agasa.
" She is the cutest thing that I have ever seen in my life " said Ran.
And she was immediately hugged and forced into Ran`s boobs but this just made her blush and make her feel really awkward.
" So how is this little girl anyway? " said Ran to Agasa.
'I hate it when people are talking about me as if I am not here and it looks like it is still going to continue no matter what' thought Shinichi.
" She is a relative of mine " said Agasa.
" What is your name ? " said Ran.
" My name ? " said Shinichi.
She backed away not knowing what to say and that is when she saw them the books and she quickly read them. She smiled as she was reading the books for the first time in a long time.
" Christie Edowaga " said Now called Christie.
" Weird ? " said Ran.
" Yeah my Dad he just loves mystery novels it sorts of runs through the family " said Shinichi/Christie sweating.
She was still unsure of what to call herself.
" Hey Ran could you do me a favour a take Christie out for a while because I have some things to do with my experiments and I do not want her to get in the way or hurt " said Agasa.
" Stop joking around " said Shinichi almost attacking Agasa as she leapt at him.
" Christie`s parents are in hospital because they were in a car crash aboard and she was staying with another relative but she could not stay with them, so she is staying with me instead. But with my house just being rebuilt and ..." said Agasa.
" She can stay with me then it would be great to have like a little sister around the house " said Ran.
" Really that is great " said Agasa.
Ran just nodded.
" What if she finds out who I am? " whispered Shinichi.
" If you want to get back to your normal self then that would be the best place to start...remember Ran`s dad is a detective " said Agasa.
'But did she want her body back ? she thought.
And she did not know as she was being pulled away.
Did she really want her life back ?
And she did not know what it was buts she just felt like she was missing a piece of her life and she had no idea what it was.
He raided the apartment and found what he needed to find.
He was able to find out just who she was by the website that had been made.
He had been foolish not to see this before but he had no idea what her motive was and he did not really care to be honest it was just wasting his time.
He had a name, a name that he knew quite well and known a fair a moment about her to know that she was already a threat to them which made things a lot more interesting. But he was going to keep this little secret to himself and he would be going to her house to confront her as he knew she was still weakened and this would be his best chance.
But before he even got to the house he had heard the unfortunate news of her death, he was going to have to find another way of making his plan to work. This was the easiest way and the golden ticket that he would need forever and was now gone all because of an unfortunate out coming.
He had other plans anyway and backups and so many.
But he was now going to start from scratch from one of his many plans.
It would be here in just over a year and he had that long to do it.
