On a desk, numerous papers and documents have been scattered, Reisamu stood up, staring down at the forms as she felt a forming headache. "I should have just taken Louisa with me to help me with this fiend. Paperwork, the bane of my existence." She sunk back on her chair before she decided to put them in a pile once more as she felt like procrastinating.

She didn't come back to Japan just because she missed her home, or just too take care of Conan, but she had some matters to personally attend to. 'I've yet to reveal all my cards, and seeing due to my recent encounter with Gin, I wouldn't be surprised if he sought me out sooner than later.'

"Come to think of it, isn't Sonoko's family owned numerous business ventures, perhaps I should ask her for some advice and referrals." Her mutterings have been cut off due to a call, eyeing her phone she picked it up and answered.

"I didn't expect you to call me of all people, Conan." She greeted as she opened a drawer and temporarily placed her documents in it. "What can I do for you?" His recent kidnapping, having been mistaken for a classmate, was only two days ago. She hadn't expected him to contact her first out of his own willingness, so perhaps he needed something.

she was only proven right when Conan had explained to her how his friends from Osaka, Heiji and Kazuha were kidnapped and restrained in some crooked lawyer's house. He would have, and definitely could have handled it himself if it weren't for Ran and her Father's presence.

"So you wish me to be the excuse so they'll leave you alone?"

"No, I'm leaving it to you." He said, although he used his childish- 'conan' voice (perhaps because Ran and Koguro were still within earshot) but Reisamu could here how serious he was. "Do you trust me then?"

"Yes. With the lives of my friends."

Reisamu was silent for a moment, "all right. I won't disappoint."

. . .

"Oi oi, did he really sent you to help us or to kill us?" Hattori couldn't help but asked after seeing the smiling maid completely beat up the people that kidnapped the two of them. Still bound by the ropes and injured because of the criminals, all they could really do was watch as how she had invaded their base of operations.

"How did you even get in?"  He asked ignoring the fact that the brown haired woman stepped over the knocked out lady to approach the two of them. "Oh they left one of their windows open, all I had to do was play a recorded sound of someone knocking on their door." She shrugged "then it was just a matter of knocking the one that answered then using the element of surprise."

Hattori sighed in relief, that explained how she threw the one inside the attic and quickly incapacitating the two lackeys. Kazuha winced as two hands cupped her face, "looks like both of you need some first aid, the ambulance is already heading here, your friend will be fine." she glanced at Kusukawa who was still unconcious.

She frowned though, inspecting the girl "you're so quiet though, does something hurt?" she questioned the teen who blushed, quickly shaking her head "n-no! I'm fine!" "I see that's good" Reisamu smiled relieved as she began to untie the two.

"Both of you are around Ran's age right? as well as Shinichi." She asked as the two nodded, Hattori rubbing his aching wrists while the other one was relaxing her sore body. "Both of you are teens, I don't doubt your capabilities but the two of you should be more careful."

"hai..." the detective between the two huffed while his childhood friend seemed to pout at the sermon. Sighing, Reisamu pat their heads "there there, the two of you did a good job today."
