Catch me if you can__ Kudo Shinichi with Kaito Kid

Chapter7

" What do you guys think?" After agent Takagi's arrival was agent Sato. Not very much, CRI didn't split out too much information. "

" We Japanese police doesn't have access to acquaint information as well, sounds like they are keeping something. Well, I can understand more or less. Maybe one must be alert while your company is totally screwed up and there are government force trying to poke around. What do you think about the murder case?"

" It is not the way how the 5 people die is the crux, is what will be happen if they die. What majorly changes after they died? Replacement. Some one took their place as competitor and that is what the murderer wants at the first place. Whether it is placing a C.I. in the field or getting close to another target. Anyway, everything is more discussable." Kudo said.

"I am getting confused. Not only the reason why the murder case happened but whether Kid is involved in or not." Hattori felt dejected. 

Mori Kogoro went back to the conference room and remind them of the competition.

" It is about to be announce the topic. Maybe Kudo and Hattori should head toward to the hall." Mori checked his smartphone. Makoto slowly pulled away from Suzuki. " I have to go with agent Takagi. Mr. Utato must have new mission for us security guard. I will text you later when we finish."

Sonoko gave him a big hug.

" I know you probably won't need this, but I just want to say good luck. And be careful."

   Ran smiled at the couple in front of her, she grabbed Kudo's fist tightly and walked through the gallery together. Kudo Shinichi was glad to have Ran aside, she gave her tranquility and safeness, but some journeys need to be walked alone.

"Don't stay near if your head is made of butter." The man's husky voice stem from the back seat, Melissa trembled. " Is that a warning?" Her high-pitched voice asked.

" I will say a friendly remind. Won't you be curious about the story's ending?"

Melissa dare to talk, she stood near the office door rigidly. 

" I used to think my teacher was invincible, he did not afraid of anything. I admired him not just only as his fellow but his loyalty fans. He was immortal and adventurous, every show he performed was like a mental feast once in a blue moon. I used to admire him and now I hate him. I blame him for being so distinguished that God couldn't wait to steal him from me, you know? I am scared that one day I will forget him, like God deprived my only right to be his friends. So then we hided our deepest thought and missed in our heart, God won't know that, right? Because I find out he loves to take away anything precious."

"Then why you want to hold the ceremony this year?" Melissa asked.

"When I saw that last name again, I managed to gasp the true meaning of eternity, I realize the mercy God give to the human. I finally let go even though it really hurts. Do you still miss him often?"

"Ish."

"Promise me don't do something stupid. I can't pull you back if something went completely wrong. You don't get a judge in your pocket. It only get worsen when the last contest begin." Mr, Utato finally turned around.

  " We try our best to keep the secret, that is the last thing we can do for Kuroba as old friends."
