Detective Conan FF: ♧ The wrecked Trio ♧ (English) [Book 3]

Chapter 23 - Takahiro Kato II

After the not so successful mission, Kei, Sato and Wataru met down in front of the police headquarters to talk about everything one more time and have a smoke. The cigarette in Kei's mouth glowed faintly as he exhaled the smoke. "I still can't believe he's alive," he murmured, grimacing. "He was too cowardly to keep talking to me. He just ran away," Wataru grumbled, pulling a cigarette out of Kei's pack. "I bet he'll disappear again," the policeman grumbled, folding his arms. On the one hand, Wataru felt a bit of sympathy for his father, but at the moment anger was taking control of him.

"I thought you hated that stuff?" Kei wanted to know. "I do too, but my nerves are fraying, I need to calm down somehow," Wataru cursed, putting a cigarette in his mouth in agony. Sato looked at her colleague with concern. "I'm sorry that everything turned out like this, Taru," she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's fine, it's not your fault. Thank you for always being by my side," the man replied, giving her a kiss. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, when Kei interrupted them harshly. "Say, can you see that too? Or am I going crazy? There's a guy in a combat suit running towards us who looks incredibly similar to Takahiro Kato," Kei grumbled in surprise and stood up. Wataru and Sato also noticed the sprinting man. 

"He... is sprinting towards us," Takagi frowned. The next moment, a loud scream rang out.

"Watch out! He has a gun!" shouted a motorcyclist as he jumped over the hedge. The policemen immediately jumped up in alarm, but the man in the suit was faster. "Shit, I think that's really Takahiro Kato!" Wataru shouted and wanted to reach for his service weapon. What on earth did that mean?

Kato pointed his gun at one of the three officers, Wataru Takagi, and pulled the trigger. "No!" the motorcyclist yelled and threw himself at the attacker with his motorcycle. The two rolled across the floor while the bullet flew through the glass doors and shattered them into a thousand pieces. The vehicle skidded across the floor and crashed loudly into the wall.Wataru, Kei and Sato stood up in shock and looked at Alex.

Beside him, Kato also sat up and pointed his gun.He was ready to pull the trigger again.

"Damn it, what's going on here?", Kei cursed and at the same time pulled Wataru and Sato to the ground. Not a second later, Kato pulled the trigger again and a bullet cut through the air. The policemen fell to the ground and quickly rolled away to take cover behind the bush. The glass in the background shattered, the shards scattered on the ground. The blood rushed in Wataru's ears, he felt the burning of abrasions on his skin. 

"Damn it, Takahiro, stop it!", Alex screamed, got back up and jumped on the big man without thinking. But Kato was bigger and a lot stronger than Alex. Although Hiro never used his strength to fight, now it was the FSB agent's downfall. With his power fingers, Kato pushed Alex to the ground. Alex quickly turned on the handle. He jumped on Hiro from behind and put his legs around his neck. Then he squeezed as hard as he could. "Stay in cover, he is not himself! He is pumped full of drugs," Alex shouted as Kato suddenly pushed him backwards against the wall. A dull pain shot through his curly head, but he did not let up. "We have service weapons, we can stop him!" Wataru said hastily. "No! No! Don't shoot! Absolutely not. He must not be seriously injured," Alex prevented the possibility of a shot attack. But Kato took advantage of this distraction and pushed Alex forward over his head. The hard stone greeted his bones, Alex felt the dirt rising into his face. "Fuck," the FSB agent groaned in pain.

Kato turned away from Alex and aimed at Wataru again, who had taken cover behind a wall. "Then we'll distract him!" Takagi shouted and fired a shot into the air. Takahiro immediately turned towards him and fired a pistol bullet, which only hit the wall of the house. "Take that!" hissed Sato as she suddenly appeared to the side of Kato and hit him in the stomach with the edge of her hand. This was followed by more punches and a kick to the back of the knee. Hiro lost his balance, but caught Sato with the butt of his pistol. Her jaw cracked, she felt herself biting her tongue. Blood poured out of her mouth and she fell backwards. "Shit," she gasped. Kato wanted to step on her, but Kei didn't let him.
