What happens next?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

„ Ai-chan?!“, the officers couldn’t believe what they heard. “Something
like that isn’t possible.”
“Of course it is!“, she answered calmly.
“But how?”
“Shall I explain?“
“No, thanks!“
“Why not? It's no problem. I am a scientist and I dealt with it almost my
whole life“
„You seem pretty calm, Ai-chan!“, Kazuha noticed. Even if it the whole thing
was a bit fishy for her. “Ist that, the thing, you didn't want to tell me?”
And again Silence. “...Conan-kun, right? Is he also...”, she asked that
quiet, that only Heiji, who sat next to her, could hear her talking. He looked
at her. “Yeah, he is and everyone here knows, but the police doesn't have to.
So keep it by yourself.”, he said as quiet as Kazuha did.
“Er...yes...right.”, Yusaki said.
“But it's a secret. Keep it one!”
'Piep piep Piep', it rang suddenly. 'Ai-chan. Can you hear us?', That was Ayumi,
who report with the detective boys badge.
'Yes, I can hear you. What happened?', Ai said, after receiving a nod from
Megure-keibu.
'We couldn't find Conan-kun and now we are standing in front of your house, but
you aren't there. Where are you?', Mitsuhiko asked.
'We are at the police department at the moment, but until we come back, you can
you use the key under the mat and go in!”, Hakase said.
'Ok!', came back and the signal extinguished.
“Are you sure, that you let those three chaots in your Home?”, Ai asked
sceptical.
“It's Alright!”
“And what will I tell them?”
“You should have thought about that before you swallowed the capsule. Where do
you get it from anyways?”
“I finished the prototyp in the morning. But I wasn’t sure if I should take
it…well, that problem is solved.”
“Ok, we believe you, that you’re Ai-chan, but what can you tell us, about
the organisation!”, Megure-keibu came back to the topic.
“As said before, the member are unscrupulous. They can kill without hesitation
and everyone is wearing black. The high-ranked members have codenames, after
alcoholic drinks. The boss is called ‘Anokata’, but he or she is a total
mystery. Nobody knows anything about him or her. Who is once trapped in the
organisation, stays there forever…”
“…but you escaped, if I say it right. Because you know so much.”
Ai looked to the ground. "Unfortunally it's true. With big effort I managed to
escape, after my parents and my big sister had been killed when they tried. But
as Hakase said, they're still after me."
"Oh, we are so sorry for you!", Sato said.
 “I think that’s enough. We don’t want to hear more. We will see, what we
can do. As we know now, we have a strong enemy, but we will do our best and keep
you up to date. If you get any more information, let us know.”, Megure-keibu
ended the conversation.
“We will!”, Heiji said and then the group left.
“Let's go home!”, hakase suggested.
“Good idea. We join you!”, Heiji said laughing.
“But my beetle hasn't enough room for us all!”, hakase gave to remember.
“No Problem. Because we'll be here for a while, my dad organized a transport
for my motorcycle. I'm going and take it!”, Heiji went and came back with his
machine. He throw a helmet at Kazuha and when everyone was in the car (or at the
motorcycle) they drove off.
30 minutes later, they arrived at Hakase's.
“Ohayo, we are back!”, Ai announced. She calmed down after a time
“Finally!”, the three kids went to the entrance area and were really amazed
of what they saw.
“Ai-chan, what happened to you?”, Ayumi asked, when she saw her friend.
“Er...I just...drank one of Hakase's inventions, but it only last about 24
hours.”, she lied.
“Totally unbelievable.”, Mitsuhiko marveled. Genta was visible amazed as
well. Only Ayumi wasn't. She looked seekingly at the group.
“Conan-kun wa doko desu ka. (=Where's Conan-kun?)”, she asked.
“If we only would know...”, Yusaku asked.
“That's why you were at the police department, right?”, the girl wanted to
know.
“Yes, but we didn't come only one step forward!”, Yukiko admited.
“Maybe it has something to do with the woman, I saw in the morning though the
window!”, Genta assumed.
“You saw a woman!”
“Yeah, she wore black, had blonde hair and looked somehow american. I saw her,
too.”, Mitsuhiko explained.
“Ok, our suggestion is confirmed. He really had been kidnapped.”, Yusaku
said.
“Kidnapped?!”, the detective boys were shocked.
“Oh no, Conan-kun, we have to get him outta there.”, Ayumi called.
“But we don't know, where they brought him!”, Ai smashed her hopes.
“But we can't do nothing! Conan-kun is our friend and if something happens to
us, he would help us!”, Ayumi yelled.
“You are right!” 'I wonder, where you are, Kudo-kun.'

22'o'clock
Conan stopped his escape attempts long before. 'I don't know what to do. There's
no way out and probably nobody knows where I am. And who knows, if she let me go
if I give her the information about Sherry? Probably not. Damn it. I need to get
help. But how. Vermouth manipulated...one moment...she only manipulated my
shoes, the wrist watch and the bow-tie. That menas maybe my detective boys badge
is still intact. If I only could get it out of my poket.' He shook himself that
much, so the badge fall out of the pocket. 'I did it!' He tried to reach it by
cricking himself until he could get it with his hands. 'Finally!' Suddenly the
door opened. The sunlight shone in and dazzled the boy.
“Hi boy, are you ready now to tell me, what I want to know?”
“I think you don't believe it yourself, Vermouth!”
“How long do you think, you can keep it up?”
“Until someone comes and get me out of here!”
“Unfortunally nobody will come. They don't even know, you're kidnapped and if
yes they won't find you. We are too far away, so the cannot locate you.”
Conan looked to the ground. He would call help, but when he would show it
visible, Vermouth would become suspicious of him and take the badge, hidden
behind his back, away from him. “You are right!”, he admited.
“So you see. And if you do me that little favour, maybe I let you go!”
“Never!”
“You won't give up, right? Well, can't do anything against it. At least for
now. But rememeber that this time is the last time, in the I was that nice. And
now I wish you a good night.” Then she went to the door, waved as a discharge
and left the room. One could hear how she locked the room.
Conan groped with his fingers after the buttom on his badge. 'There it is!' He
pressed it, but it wasn't possible for him holding the micro to his mouth. 'In
such moments I am glad, that Hakase modified our badges, so that if one presses
the buttom and doesn't say anything, it automatically sends an emergincy signal
and I just asked, for what we do need it.' Then the noise, which told him that
the transmission was successfully, sounded. 'So and now back in the
pocket...Great.' Conan had to yawn. 'I should try to sleep a bit. It's pretty
late, at least I think so. I wonder, how Ran is doing right now!'
Where Ran was:
She entered the detective agency, where her dad was watching Okino Yoko. “Ran,
where have you been the whole day and where is that brat?”, he asked while
looking at the screen. “Conan-kun had been kidnapped and we were at the police
and at Hakase's and consider about what to do!” “What has the kid dovetailed
again?”, Kogoro seemed a little uninterested. “Chyotto, Oto-san. Admit it.
You kinda like him!” Ran went into the kitchen, preparing the dinner. 'C'mon
Shinichi, there must be something we can do!'
Where Heiji and Kazuha were:
Both were in their hotel suite. Kazuha sat on her bed and read a magazine, while
Heiji sat down at the tish and searched with his laptop after places in tokyo,
where it's easy to hide someone. “You won't come far that way, Heiji! Tokyo is
too big. He could be everywhere.”, Kazuha said, looking up from her magazine.
“Do you think I don't know that, but I just can't do nothing!”, he yelled at
her. Then it was quiet for a while.
“Hey, Heiji, don't you want to tell me who he is?”, the girl asked curious.
“What? Who?”, Heiji was so absorbed in his project, he only heard Kazuha's
question half.
“Conan-kun of course. Listen, Ran asked Ai if she had another capsule for
conan-kun. So Conan-kun isn't really a kid, right? And everybody seems to know,
who he is. You know it, too. Why can't I know that?”
Heiji sighted. “Kudo Shinichi!”, he turned back to the screen.
“Really, he's Kudo. That would explain, why you always get along that
well.”
“Yeah, I know it since long ago and it should keep on being a secret, that's
why I never told you, but now even Ran knows and you almost got it, so I told
you. But you should not tell anybody. I promised it.”
“Promise!”
Where Shinichi's parents were:
“It's so empty her, without our son.”, Yukiko complained several times.
“The last time it didn't bother you...”
“The last time I also knew, that he's save with Ran, but know...who knows, how
he is now?”, Yukiko almost began to cry. “I want my little Shin-chan
back!”
“I am worried, too, but he'll do this right.” 'I hope so!'
“And what, if not. He is just a little boy!”
“Maybe he looks like one, but he's able to much more. Let's search him
tomorrow, OK?” Yukiko nodded.
Where Hakase and Ai were:
“Ai-kun, Your Action at the police wasn't really necessary, don't you
think?”
“I know, but sooner or later they would have found out. Besides Haibara Ai has
nothing to do with that case. Only Sherry has.”
“But you are the one, who always says, that we shouldn't get attention on us,
because the organisation could find you.”
“I know that as well, but anyway, Vermouth just moved Kudo-kun into my and her
buisness. He had nothing to do with it. It's all my fault.” The last two
sentences she screamed.
“I understand!”
“I am going to bed. It's pretty late!”
“Oyasumi(=Good night), Ai-kun!
“Oyasumi, Hakase!”
Ai went to her room, took her stuff and went to the bathroom. Short after she
left, her detective boys badge on her desk received Conan's emergency call, so
she didn't hear it. Fortunally Hakase thought about this case. Whenever such a
signal had been received, a little, red lamp beginns to flash, which Ai didn't
notice, when she came back. Sie layed down in her bad and fall asleep. But the
half-hour repetition would wake her soon.
