And what Sonoko had told her about Kaitou Kid was very little because she just went on and on how 'dreamy' she thought he was and within ten minutes of her just talking about his hat she got fed up of listening to him.
Taking a deep breath in as she closed the door behind her and letting it out, she was only glad to escape Sonoko and her boy crazed talk even if it was only for a second. Right now, she was in the Detective agency but she already knew that Sonoko was going to talk to the old man about this as a case for her parents at their request.
And she heard enough about him and she did not want to hear anymore about an over theatrical thief that dresses up and in white of all things. But she was more than surprised that she did not hear about this thief before from Sonoko of course because she would have no interest in him. And it was not something that you would read in the newspaper about criminals or tragedies but the entertainment part of it.
'An entertaining thief, what is this world coming to ?' she thought as she was bored and just wanted to sit down and rest.
But she was in the room with an alcoholic who was sleeping at his desk, surrounded by his fortress of drunkahood that would come crashing down on him as soon as Ran and Sonoko got there. And of course, there was the cigarette that was still in his mouth that was nearly finished but he had fallen asleep with it in there and probably a just lit one as well.
And it made her wonder if this guy smoked and drank in his sleep, drink sleeping and smoke sleeping can be a real thing ?
Well she had been shrunken/ de-aged into a small child, so it was a very possible reason and logical thing that could exist. and looking at this guy it was very possible that he did this because just how could one person drink this much because it just seemed impossible that someone would drink this much. And why would someone drink that much in the first place because she just had o idea why he would even drink this much when he had a decent life and a lot to live for.
She always struggled to understand things like this, people with happy lives by ruining them by doing the stupidest thing like drinking for example. Smoking was a different kind of and could be put another shelf of stupid things of categories that people do in their life that ruins them and is pointless beyond any belief. Why people make a mess of their lives with things that make them feel happy, but really is just a substitute only affecting the brain making them feel happy for a short time. When it is only a fake drug that is put in your body and you are not really and truly happy and it just fills the void for a short time. And to feel that kind of thing and fill that void again you use it again and again until you become addicted to it and changes you and you are defined by it.
It is the little things in the shops that you see people buying and laughing at as they take them, people even bond over them and pulls people together gathering in groups making them social. Bonding and even brings peace in some ways but when it doesn't, that is when you have to worried because that little thing that you just bought for the sake of it can bring yours and others life come crashing down.
She had seen it in cases and more recently with cases that killers are alcoholic or the victims are and it is the alcohol that brings it on. But then again you cannot always blame it on the alcohol because it is the person that willingly drinks it just brings out what is already there, the dark side or darker side of that person. The kind of side that they kept hidden at bay from the world and those kind of feelings, emotions and secrets can come out and bring on so much pain that is unbearable.
" And I just love him " said Sonoko.
And with that she was snapped out of her deep thoughts as Sonoko and Ran entered the room.
" Dad " screamed Ran disapprovingly.
Making the cans come crashing down all around him and the cigarette falling out his mouth onto his lap, burning him and now rolling on the ground in pain trying to put the fire out. She so wished that she had recorded this because it was paid staking hilarious and was something that she would want to see again and again on a loop because it was one of the best things that she had ever seen in her recent life. And she did her best to keep herself not to laugh or rather not laugh out loud because that was what Sonoko was always trying do. She could see the tears in Sonoko's eyes as she just watched what was happening as Ran grabbed the overly used fire extinguisher.
And now her eyes were watering as well.
Lately because of the whole shrinking thing she was not getting along with Sonoko because the way she was treating her and of course because she did not know the truth. To Sonoko she was not Kudo Shinichi, but a 'leech' annoying child that was always just there and getting in her way. Stealing her best friend and just being there replacing Shinichi and was just an annoying know it all brat. And she did not like seeing Sonoko like this, the way she treated her and this made her see Sonoko in a whole new light. She never realized just how shallow her friend could be as she was seeing this different side of her and the way she treated others. She herself had been ignorant to this and you never do see the worse in others that you are close with because that is just what happens when you care about someone.
But there was also a softer side of Sonoko that she had never noticed before, the way she was such a good friend to Ran was unbelievably good and she was there for her as she was missing Shinichi. And that was just kind of weird because she was there and she was not there in a mind and painful way of thinking that would make your brain hurt.
And she had learned that Ran was so much a stronger person than she first had thought, the way she had to take care of her dad and now her was unbelievable. She was the grown up in the family as she did the housework, cooking and basically pretty much everything. And Shinichi was the one that was secretly bringing in the pay check and the old and the old man was just there. He was ...? He was a good or decent man but she knew that he could have been a better man if she just put some thought into what does and stopped drinking, his life could be so much better and so could Ran's. Ran could be more of a teenager than like the adult she had to be because of him and the way he was. But he was putting a roof over her head and was not asking for anything in return, though that might because he thought of her as good luck charm. And because Ran basically threatened him on a daily basis and he was terrified of her and she was the only thing that was stopping him from getting harmed as she was used as a human shield.
" His name is Kaitou 1412 and he steals from all the countries in the world and he is now trying to steal from Sonoko`s parents and they want your help " said Ran.
She snapped out of her thoughts yet again, man she had been thinking a lot lately and so zoning out that it was unbelievable.
He was not fire anymore and he was now holding a piece of paper in his hand that was cello taped together because it had been ripped apart and looking at it the person was mad on what was on that piece of paper. A thief was simple enough, she could leave this to the old and to the police because thieves were simple, they stole and that was pretty much it. There was no mystery to it and nothing more than catching them and getting whatever, they stole or would be returned to the rightful owner.
And Ran went on about how she saw Shinichi and that she was with another girl making her mad because it was like she was cheating on her with another girl. Which was now making her sweat because the way Ran and Sonoko were talking about it was as if they were a couple. Which was now making her sweat more than ever because she could not even remember Ran asking her on a date or that they had kissed. And you did not even need to be a detective to work out that would be a really bad idea telling Ran that of all people because it would be really painful after you told her. Just imagining the way, she had seen her beat up some people so far was enough to make her squirm.
But she did after even mind numbing of thinking was able to admit to herself that she did have feelings for Ran and they were starting to grow every single day that she was with her. Being with her was enough to make her happy and enough to realize she was exactly what she needed and the kind of person that she wanted to be with.
And she was zoning out again.
" This piece of paper is a mess just look at it and is there any money in it for me ? " said Kogoro looking at and puzzled.
" Yeah Mr Suzuki was mad when he read it and it was the best that could do putting it back together, but a Detective as famous as you could easily solve a riddle as difficult as this since the police are struggling to do it " said Ran.
'Riddle ?' thought Shinichi as it was now starting to sound interesting after all and she had to have a look of what was going on.
" Mouri Kogoro Detective on the case " said Kogoro.
Ran had easily manipulated him by going for his ego like she always does but she did not realize that she was also and accidentally tricked Shinichi into being interested in it.
She could not help herself or contain her curiosity anymore as she just had to look at the piece of paper and she could always go to bed later even though she was planning on. This seemed to really peak her curiosity and was something that she just felt that she had to do
April Fool
When the moon divides two people
under the name Black Star
pushed by the waves
I will arrive
Kaitou Kid
(Kaitou Kid signature)
" Mph " she said smirking and chuckling a little.
This was far more interesting than she first thought, at first, she thought he was going to be boring and just a plain show off. But this showed intellect much of it and this was going to be a challenging person and thief to capture, someone that no one has been able to capture in over two decades. This is something that she had to see with her own eyes and this was someone that she just had to meet. And it was someone that she had to unmask because she felt it in her gut and in every bone in her body this was something that she wanted to do. And feeling this way was scary and was like an adrenaline rush and that she would was an adrenaline junky up for next fix but this guy was harmful so she had nothing to worry about.
And she just could not help but smile because she had not felt like this in a long, long time and this was exciting.
But now she was forcibly being picked up and made to go to bed after she brushed her teeth of course, she so hated having a bedtime.
" Bedtime " said Ran.
She blew her breath in annoyance and in boredom because she was not allowed to do what she wanted to do anymore.
" Ok Ran " she said smiling and yawning.
Putting on her act again doing it twenty-four seven was exhausting and she was now having to do it more than ever because she wanted to do this more than anything but it was just going to have to wait. In the morning, they would be going to the museum anyway and there she would be able to see the item itself and it would all become clearer anyway.
And before she her head even hit the pillow she fell asleep as soon as she could because she was that exhausted and getting to sleep, tomorrow was when everything would start and where the real excitement would begin.
And before she knew it she was standing in Beika Museum staring at 'The Black Star' and in its all glory was the smallest pearl that she had ever seen. This was the thing that the thief wanted to steal and he was actually going to all this trouble, really!
But this opinion was mainly because she had still yet to work out the riddle and that was just annoying her that she had not solved it yet. But she knew that she would because whatever the circumstance where she would always and forever be able to do something as simple as something like this.
And this was starting to make her forget everything that was happening right now.
But the one thing she did know for sure was when he was going to come for it, and that was all that she truly needed in the first place.
" 'pushed by the waves' means by the river and that is west from here " said a loud and laughing Kogoro as he was starting to boast.
She started to listen in on what was going on.
" Waves actually means ocean and that sounds just like Okino "
Everyone was sounding interested as they were starting to stand still and listen on in every single word that he was saying.
Shinichi was thinking 'Seriously what planet was this guy from' she just could not believe this to be true.
But when she looked at everyone else they were leaning on his every single word and she just could not watch this anymore because it was just ridiculous.
She looking out the window thinking the word 'East' was just stuck in her head and then it just popped into her head as she took her watch out and smiled. She was looking East where a strong possibility Kaitou kid could be and would be able to see the museum and then she was thinking that the words did mean something else and he was thinking he might have it solved. But she would need to go and do some research to see if it was actually right.
'Whoever this Kaitou Kid was he was a genius' she thought as she looked out the window of the museum.
It was late when she put everything together and everyone was asleep which was good for her because she could easily get out the house by sneaking out. No one would be falling her and no one would be trailing her from behind as she was thinking of 'The Junior Detective League' the thorn in her side yet a rose as well. And she could not help but smile when she thought of them because they were in the ones that brought out the child part of her again and they were the ones that made her feel happy and they were her friends.
A child was running the streets in the middle of the night across the busy roads and pressing buttons to cross them. She was wandering why no one was stopping her and asking why she there in the first place and alone without a single adult with her. If she had seen some children wandering the streets in the middle of the night she would definitely ask why they were alone and make sure that they were safe and got home.
But now she was on the roof and she was just going to have to wait for the thief to come to her.
But first she was going to make a quick phone call.
" Hi Agasa " said Shinichi.
" Hi Shinichi " said Agasa
" I need you to do some research for me " said Shinichi.
" On Kaitou 1412 " said Agasa
" How did you know? " said Shinichi
There was a moment of deafening silence that she did not like.
" I read about it and I thought that it would make its way to you " said Agasa.
" Ok? " she said not completely satisfied with what he was saying.
" Well I am going to meet him so could you please make it quick " said Shinichi.
" Sure, wait you are going to meet him ? " said a shocked Agasa.
This was bad.
This was very bad because if he found out who she was then it would only be a matter of time before she found out the whole truth then she would go back to the way she was again. And that was something that he did not want for her and he knew her too well and enough to know that this would be the last thing that she would want as well.
Losing those memories and shrinking was a blessing in disguise for Shinichi he knew that and a small part of her knew it as well because he could see that she was still struggling with to stay that way or go back to being Shinichi.
She was still in danger and he knew that but they thought that she was dead, so that was a good thing for her and for everyone. If she remembered then it would ruin the happiness that she had now and she would be feeling guilty for the time that she had missed and everything that she could not do.
But there was nothing that he could do because he knew that she would get suspicious if he did anything to get in her way, so all he could do was nothing and just hope that she would not find out. Hope that she could put a stop to the thief so that he could not get in the way and he would be out of her life and for good. He knew that was what she wanted in the first place and he was going to help her to make that wish come true even if she did not know about it he was going to help her.
He had removed all evidence of Daredevil from the house and done everything that he could to keep her away from it. The police had found the mask and thought that Daredevil was dead and were no longer relying on that and were working harder than ever, making an actual change in things.
He gave her Daredevil when he found out what she could because he thought that it was the right thing to do and he wanted to pass on the torch because he did not want Daredevil to be forgotten. And she was the only person that he had ever even considered giving it to because she was perfect for it and had to 'No killing Rule'.
And he knew it would be only a matter of time before she did something that would get her killed and this was the only real way to protect her from herself. He knew that he had made the right decision in doing that but part of him always regretted it and he would have to live with that for the rest of his life.
" Agasa ? " said Shinichi.
" I will get right onto that " said Agasa.
He was going to have to do 'research' for things that he already knew and he was holding all the information in his hands on a USB stick. If he just handed this to the police they would know everything and that would be that but he was not willing to risk that, not just yet anyway.
He could easily have something to eat and then tell her enough information that she would need to know.
The phone was hung up and she looked at it, Agasa was acting pretty strange.
'When the moon divides two people'
Is actually referring to the BS satellite and the sun
' the moon divides'
Is all referring to an eclipse is created between the two-object pointing down to the exact window of time.
Arrive between 12:30 am and 4:30 am when the satellite is down powering up.
And 'Black Star' or B S or short.
Which is also the name of the 'BS' satellite
'pushed by the waves'
Is referred to as the electric wave field that it is created and sends signal to an area and the only view of the museum is the rooftop of the Haido City Hotel.
She was just going to wait as she set up her plan.
She felt her phone vibrate and it was Agasa calling again with the information that she needed.
Silent like a ghost and did not make a sound like he appeared out of thin air.
And the feeling he was getting him was eerie.
He was calm and confident even with the police searching for him.
" Shinichi ? " said Agasa.
She hung up the phone.
'Tasteless and outdated outfit' she thought as she looked at him'
He was approaching her and because she was low to the ground she was getting a decent look at his face of what she could see anyway if the monocle and hat was not there. If it was not night and dark then she would be able to see him much more clearly but what she could see was that this guy was the second Kaitou Kid because he was far too young, thirties, no twenties ? No, he could be even younger than that but she had no idea just how young he could really be or if that was even his real face.
" Hey little girl what are you doing, this can be an awfully dangerous place ? " said Kaitou Kid.
'Oh, he cares' thought Shinichi sarcastically of course.
And then she lit it as she smiled.
" Fireworks " said Christie.
And then it lit up the sky.
"...? " said Kaitou Kid to what she had done.
" Look Helicopter " said Christie as she raced across the roof pointing at it excitedly acting like a child.
Kaitou Kid walked forward with his hand in his pocket and a large smile on his face.
" Hey I know that you did that on purpose " said Kaitou Kid.
Kaitou Kid had figured out all about her little act and knew that she was just acting like a little child, this was an interesting one and she wanted to continue to find out more.
Who exactly are you girl ? " he said in calm voice.
It was time to capture the thief using the watch the Agasa had given him because of lately of everything that has happened. It was a dart tranquilizer watch but he had not used it yet. But she would be using it tonight to capture herself a thief that no one was ever able to capture before and maybe even be this close to him.
" Edowaga Christie Detective " said Christie and very confidentially.
" Oh, a Detective, quite the pleasure I should be honoured " said Kaitou Kid amusingly.
Was he actually going to have a conversation with her and treating her like an adult and equal ?
" Should you not be running by now because the police are now approaching ? " said Christie.
She had her arm behind her back as she was getting the dart ready for a nice surprise shot.
But he did not seem to care, just looked amused not even looking up as he was full of confidence.
" Interesting but then again " said Kaitou Kid.
She was shocked by what happened next as she saw what was in Kaitou Kids hands and he was talking into it using multiple voices.
" Chaki here, Kaitou Kid has been located on Haido City Hotel "
Helicopters were approaching closer shining lights on the thief.
"All helicopters and vehicles to the location "
said Kaito in a different voice.
" Hey that is not me " said the real Chaki.
The guy was impersonating the guy perfectly.
Another voice came over saying that it was true, it was obviously one of the police in the helicopter.
" This is Nakamori all to the rooftop and we will arrest that dam thief " said Kaitou Kid using what would be the real Nakamori`s voice.
He was shocked and impressed to what he was witnessing.
The sky was now surrounded in helicopters and police bursting through the only door to the roof.
The thief was surrounded and he did it himself.
But why ?
" Now look what you have done Detective " said Kaitou Kid.
" You are under arrest Kaitou Kid " said Nakamori pointing a gun and giving the signal for the other officers to surround the thief.
The roof was surrounded by police and helicopter shining like a beacon as the thief was completely surrounded and trapped. But it did not seem like that way to her as the thief seemed confident, over confident if she had to be asked as he just stood still as his cape waved in the air created by the wind of the helicopter.
But what was going to happen next, she was not sure.
" We broke the code and we knew you would be here, you are surrounded. So, put your hands up " said Nakamori.
But the thief still stood there silent and confidentially as he smirked.
he then chuckled.
" And I knew that you would Inspector " said Kaitou Kid.
" What ? " said a frustrated Nakamori.
" I had no intention of stealing the Black Star tonight " said Kaitou Kid.
They all looked confused.
" Remember the note. April Fools it was all a joke "said Kaitou Kid.
Kaitou Kid held a remote in hand and a hand glider appeared as he strapped to his back it was obvious how he got there and was planning to escape.
" Catch him before he gets away " screamed Nakamori.
She did nothing but stand still and watch everything unfold and unravel to see what would happen because she would only get in the way.
She saw him drop something and she immediately covered her eyes realizing what it was, a flash bomb blinding her and everyone else from seeing what was happening.
PUFF
A smoke bob was then dropped.
The conversation was not done yet.
" Hey girl did you know ? " said Kaitou Kid.
She was covering her eyes so he could only hear what the thief was saying.
" A thief is an artist who takes his prey in style " said Kaitou Kid.
" But a Detective is nothing more than a Critic who follows are footsteps " said Kaitou Kid.
" What about jail ? " said Christie irritated.
" What about it ? " said Kaitou Kid.
And he was gone in a puff of pink smoke and confetti.
" He`s gone " They said shocked.
" A man just can't disappear into thin air " said Nakamori.
" Men look for him, that bastard is not getting away " screamed Nakamori.
But he and they all could see the thief had gotten.
And a piece of paper fell from the sky with a pink rose attached to it.
On April 19th
aboard the Queens
Elizabeth, which embarks
from Yokohama Harbour,
I will arrive to steal
the Genuine Black Star
Kaitou Kid
Was what being on the piece of paper.
She grabbed one of them as she looked at all the pissed of officers that nothing else was going to happen next and there was nothing else that she could do or anything that they could do.
She walked the streets silently as she half read the piece of paper trying to suss it out and was left dumbfounded by it.
" Hey little girl what are you doing out here all alone ? " said a stranger.
She looked up to see a complete stranger standing there as she was waiting for the lights to go on so that she could cross the road.
She just blinked.
" Where is your parents ? " said the stranger.
" They are waiting from me they are just a block away from here waiting in the car because Daddy had an upset stomach and had to throw up because he hated something bad or maybe it was something he drank...I am not. The car really smells and I just needed some fresh air so I went for a walk " said Christie
" Oh " said the stranger.
The stranger grabbed her hand as she was about to cross the road.
" Hey " she said protesting as he pulled her along.
" I can't have you cross the road alone you might just get hurt and I could not have that " said the stranger.
She pulled her hand away when they got on the other side of the road.
" I will walk you to the car to make sure you get there nice and safe " said the stranger.
But she just looked up at him with big sad saucer eyes.
" But mister you are a stranger for all I know you are a kidnapper and I can't trust you, Mummy says do not speak to strangers.
" Call me Hakuba " said the stranger.
" Mm I still do not trust you " said Christie.
" You can trust me honestly I mean you no harm " said the stranger.
" Mummy says I should scream, I think that I will do that if you do not leave me alone Mr Stranger " said Christie.
The stranger looked panicked as she held her breath as her face was going red.
" Ok, Ok jeeze just trying to do something nice " said the stranger.
And then he walked away.
And she was alone again.
That guy was really suspicious and she had the feeling that someone was following her since she had left the roof and she was wondering if it was that guy. She knew that he meant her no harm but there was definitely something off about him and she wanted him to just go away.
And she was able to make it back to the Detective Agency without being harmed and anyone else talking to her or even seeing her. Everyone was still asleep and she was not caught for sneaking out, and just went straight back to bed.
" Tch " he said annoyed as he was walking the streets.
He just wanted to make sure that she got home safe and unharmed because no little girl should be outside in the middle of the night and alone.
But he grinned he had found a new detective or rather she had found him, that was an interesting one.
KID's latest challenge was a kid.
It was funny KID Vs a child(kid).
This was something that he definitely wanted to go up against because this was an interesting one and one he never saw coming. He was told a million times and especially by Aoko that he had a mind of a child well he was now going to go up against a child to see how true that was.
He was surprised to find a little girl on the roof and he just wanted to make sure that she was save, but to his surprise she there to make sure he went to jail.
Intelligent one he already knew that she was.
And threatening to scream that was a good one, he wondered if she would ever figure out that it was him.
