Rukia Kurosaki 357 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 Sorry it's so short, but I had too many things to do and needed to find a quick cliffhanger. Hattori twisted his hat so that the bill faced forward and walked through the downpour, keeping his gaze locked on the person he was shadowing. The teen wove between pedestrians, careful not to lose his target, and debated their identity silently. They could be just some kid, but with that look on their face, this guy is up to something. When he had almost caught up with them, Heiji decided to act. He broke from the crowd and jogged to a covered area, closing his umbrella before the teen he was following saw him. Then, as their dark green eyes skimmed the crowd, the arson suspect noticed him. He supposed he could have imagined it, but Hattori thought their gaze had lingered on him for a moment before the suspect quickened his pace. (He had decided by body shape that it was a boy) Heiji ran to catch up and held his umbrella over the boy's head, at which point the teen glanced at him warily. "Uh, I... Noticed you were getting soaked," he told the suspect. In an even, emotionless tone, they replied, "Why are you following me, Tantei-san?" Conan knew as soon as he left the train car that Hattori had gotten sidetracked. When he called, his phone was off, and normally he'd be waiting at the edge of the crowd, arguing with Kazuha. When he called, she told him she had left Heiji half an hour ago. He sighed and turned to his clients... or at least half of them. Minoru and Mura were still there, but Seiji and Kira had run off while he was on the phone. "They challenged us to a deduction competition before they left," Minoru said, drawing as he spoke. Mura announced, "Whichever group finds Natake-san first wins, I suppose." He then added, "They decided to find the Great Detective of the West to help them." At this, Conan smiled. "I guess we'll finally decide which of us is the greater detective," he muttered. Calling the other two above the din of voices and the sound of the 3:00 train heading out, Conan sprinted up the stairs and out into the rain, his mind already busy with the facts of this case. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
