I do not own detective Conan or Aria and the scarlet ammo and this is just for fun.

Chapter 3:

Chris sighed, sinking into the leather couch. He looked around the empty living room at professor Agasa since they went next door. He looked towards the ceiling and sighed again before looking at his empty cup of tea. He got up from the couch and walked over to his bag. He opened it and took out a flask, he had hidden in the bag and took a sip wanting to get a little drunk. He blinked as the flask was taken form his hands. He scratched his face not wanting to turn around. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Interesting, bourbon so I thought you were getting wasted some days after having to stop the little powder keg that's brewing between I.u and the B.o!"

He sighed again and slowly turned around. He crossed his arms and looked at the blonde-haired woman. He walked towards the open door to professor Agasa and closed it seeing Riko, Aria , Conan , Ai , Agasa, and an unknown person coming towards the door. He closed the door and locked it. He crossed his arms and walked over to the leather couch and took a seat. He sighed and looked at the blonde-haired woman, who handed him a letter before leaving quickly through the window. He looked at the letter and photos and groaned.

"Really, the B.O and I.U are taking an interest in my current job as a butei!"

He Sighed hearing Riko lockpick the door to get it open. He looked around the room and blinked as a big bomb with a lit fuse was tossed in the window and landed on the floor. He sighed and quickly got up and ran towards the bomb and picked it up as Eiko got the door opened. He got to the sink and dosed the lit fuse with water to put it out.

"Um Chris, why are you holding a bomb!"

He sighed and crossed his arms after turning off the sink. He looked to Riko, who asked the question. He sighed, still looking at the bomb that was floating in the water-filled sink. He turned to face Riko.

"Let's just say someone, I met in a job as a butei likes to target random butei's and is my little twin brother who survived Vlad killing them all as well but was saved by someone from the B.O.!"

Aria rushed over and sighed looking at Chris who was trying to wake past Riko. She noticed Conan rushed over as well. She noticed Chris was lost in thought. She noticed he was responding to Riko questions and shut down.

"Guys, stop with the questions please!"

Riko noticed Chris was in tears while shouting . She was shocked he tossed a dish from the sink that was floating near the bomb to distract them that hit the wall. She nodded thanks as Kinji grabbed Chris and held him still. She noticed Conan found the note Chris received and had a shocked look on his face while handing the note to Ai. She noticed Chris Calmed down and took a breath.

"Look, I didn't lie about anything. I think a certain B O member made that note to freak us out and distract me from stopping the powder keg between I.U and the B.o!"

Conan was examining the note looking for anything to determine if Chris was correct. He rubbed his forehead and sighed and looked Chris in the eyes. He then walked over to couch and took a seat.

"We can't take any chances, Chris so we have to figure out how to get them to drop looking into you protecting me!"

Chris nodded and walked away from the sink. He blinked as Aria smelled his breath. He backed away slowly and dodged bullets from her two handguns. He rolled towards the window and thought about escaping. He raised his hands.

"Fine I may have been drinking, something I shouldn't have!"

He walked over to the leather couch and took a seat, next to Conan. He sunk into the leather couch and looked up at the ceiling. He felt like screaming and noticing Conan tapped him on the shoulder.

"So let me guess, the stress of having to deal with the B.O and I.u, caused you to hit the bottle?"

Chris nodded, noticing Conan was looking through his bag. He noticed a black leather cigar case that wasn't in his bag earlier that Conan took out of the bag. He noticed looks from Conan, Ai, Riko, Aria, and Kenji. He crossed his arms as Conan opened the leather cigar case and noticed a note.

"Have a cigar, older brother these cigars will help you relax and might have a deadly bang to them!"

Chris took one of the five overly strong fat cuban cigars and smelled it noticing it was a little off putting the strong smell. He found himself wanting to light the cigar and enjoying it. He noticed it was a cuban cigar and that cigar ring on the cigar was a time bomb that would activate when the cigar was lit. He wonder how long was the time bomb set for, while enjoying the cigar. He chuckled, feeling the glares of Conan and Riko.

"I wasn't gonna,be dumb I don't even smoke just drink sometimes!"

He sighed and rubbed the back of his head with his left hand. He took a breath and then crossed his arms and sunk into the leather couch more. He then stared at the ceiling and turned to Conan and took a breath.

"Fine, I'll stop drinking as well. it was just because of the stress of having to deal with the powder keg that's brewing!'

Conan rubbed the temple of his forehead and rolled his eyes. He looked to Kenji and Aria who were talking to each other about Chris. He noticed Chris sighed again as Riko walked over.

"Chris I am curious,as someone who considers you a friend and my little brother, how much sleep you have been getting from the bags under your eyes that you hid with make up!"

Chris sighed and looked Riko in the eyes as she took a seat on the couch next to him and Conan. He scratched his face and sighed as Riko patted his head. He was a little embarrassed and took a notebook out of his bag.

"One to two hours of sleep a day plus energy drinks to stay awake, and Conan the member of the B.O looking into why I am protecting you codename is vermouth!"

Conan rubbed the temple of his forehead and sighed. He got up from the leather couch and heard Chris's phone ringing. He noticed a grim look on Chris face as he answered the phone call. He noticed Chris dropped the phone to the ground. He blinked as Riko started shaking Chris. He sighed as Chris jumped up form the couch.

"Sorry it was I.U asking me to deliver something to the B.O!"

Conan noticed Chris was chuckling nervously, while backing away. He got up form the leather couch. He nodded thanks as Kenji ran and tackled Chris and held him down. He grabbed Chris's phone that was on the ground and looked at the instructions I.U. sent Chris. He noticed Chris was screaming for Conan not to read the instructions.

"They want you to escort a partner that would be working with you to the b.o. That is rigged to explode with a bomb!"

Riko placed her hand on her face and looked to Aria. She sighed and looked Chris in the eyes. She noticed he was looking away. She walked over and looked at Kenji. She noticed Chris was quiet. She thought about the leather jacket Chris had that smelled of something that was a gift form a former mob boss that was given when Chris had a job to protect and drive the mob boss kid. She remember the smell of leather and cigars was pretty strong when Chris wore it a few times.

"Chris, be honest or I'll bring up a certain leather jacket you don't want to do that job that was requested but will since something was promised to you!".

Chris chuckled and stopped struggling as Kenji let him go. He got up and whispered in Riko ear. He felt Riko hug him and then flick his forehead.

"I appreciate what you would do to get my mom rosary, but nope tell I.U you won't help!"

Chris sighed and felt in his pocket a smoke bomb. He thought about tossing it on the ground as Riko had two swords pointed at his throat and her handguns pointed at his face. He sighed and texted on his phone.

"No thanks, I have some other work to attend to!"

Riko then put away her swords and guns as Aria walked over. She noticed Chris phone got a few screenshots with threats of them leaking to the butei revealing that he is a part of I.U while working as a butei. She sighed and clenched her fist. She sighed and texted on Chris phone.

"Fine I'll do it!"
