Marsala left as soon as they reached the border of Hachijo-jima. Shiori just kept praying, her elbows resting on the bed that Kir, who was now laid down infront of her wouldn't wake up until tomorrow but she knows that wasn't possible. 


I'd rather be left back at the cottage. She cried hysterically while wanting to rip her hair out. I can't believe she just left me here!


"This is the safest place for you at the mean time. The organization will come find you wherever you are, including Kudou's Residence. You don't want them to get involved, don't you?" Marsala's words rang on her mind. 


She sighed and stood. Shiori needs to act according to how Marsala described Kir, quiet and efficient. 


"And if push comes to shove, just threaten her with the thing I told you." 


...


Hours later, Shiori faced the biggest challenge she had ever encountered in her life. She was leaning on the wall as her eyes moved from one person to another.  She looked calm outside but on the inside, it was like every organ in her body was moving to other regions.


In front of her was Chris Vineyard or Vermouth wearing an all-black outfit while sitting on the computer chair curious about the files contained by a flash drive, Shiori knew the truth about her identity as she was informed by Yukiko;  her eyes moved to the two on her left, Bourbon and Marsala, wearing black casual clothes, also looking at the computer, the brunette stole a glance and stuck her tongue out in jest at the disguised Shiori, the older woman just ignored her and moved to the stocky man who was standing close to her, Vodka.


The moment Vermouth opened the only file on the flashdrive, everyone was surprised. It was a screenshot from a program called 'All-Ages Recognition' displaying both the pictures of Miyano Shiho and Haibara Ai, saying that the two are 100% match.


"This is..." Vermouth murmured.


"Sherry!" Vodka yelled. "The kid on the left looks similar."


"Is it Sherry from when she was a child?" Shiori said, trying to plant doubt. She mimicked Kir's voice that she heard from Marsala's phone during their preparation.


"No, it's a new image. Look at the guy's hand in the back." Vodka answered.


"I see." Vermouth said.


"So? What does this mean?" Shiori asked.


"This kid is Sherry?" Vodka wondered.


Bourbon, who had his hand on his chin was in deep thought. Shiori noticed it and noted that he might be wondering what the kid's true identity is. While Marsala who was beside him, was looking at the blonde with a curious look.
