Sluggish comprehension. A drugged mind and hazy eyes; blurred and burning. These were the first things that jumped at him as he woke, accompanied by an excruciatingly unnecessary noise to one with a headache such as his. The annoying taps came in certain beats. In two's, then there would be a pause before seven more beats could be heard.

tap-tap tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap

It repeated and Conan brought his small hand up to his face, attempting to rub at his eyes but not quite feeling where his hand was going. He was numb, and the taping started again on now what he could clearly tell was a metal of sorts. His head throbbed in pain and he found himself groaning in displeasure.

The tapping stopped. The small detective let out a relieved breath. It was so annoy-

"Tantei-kun?" A silky voice asked, concern masked to the hearing of everyone but the small boy himself.

The shrunken teen groaned again. Whether in pain or annoyance, neither would know. What was KID doing here? He shot up alarmed, ignoring the pain and dizziness he felt as he did so. Where was here!? Gentle hands pushed him back down into the lying position he was previously in and his eyes shut tight before he squinted them back open.

He needed to be calm. He needed to not to see but to observe, just as he taught himself to do. Things began to calculate in his head at an undeniably fast rate despite the hazy feeling he had.

It was bright, he noted, and the ceiling looked like platinum. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Dust. It smelled like dust. Not overbearing but he could feel a thin layer of it as his fingers cautiously swept over the floor. The floor was cold and all it was overall silent. Even KID was careful with his breathing, knowing the mini detective needed some time to grip his surroundings.

Closing his eyes, he paid attention to his heart rate, thankful to find it wasn't elevated and that whatever he was drugged with hadn't responded badly with the aptx4869 inside of him. Paralysis, nausea, and dizziness- He hummed tunelessly.

"Chloroform?" He asked quietly. He couldn't smell it, but the way his body felt, he thought he probably slept the effect off and ended up asleep longer than intended because he was previously exhausted before he was ever given the dosage.

"Yup~ Bingo!" KID cheered falsely. "You've been asleep for maybe a day and a half? It's kinda hard to tell in here." Conan choked on air, surprised as he turned to face the thief. A day and a half? God, how much did they get him with? Even though he was tired, it shouldn't have taken that long.

KID smiled wryly at the boy, his hat shadowing everything but his mouth. "I was kidnapped first, just to let you know. And all my secret pockets have been stripped of my very useful belongings."

"Oh, what other means of escape do we have? I hope tapping the police code for 'kidnapped' isn't all you've got." The mini-tantei joked half-heartedly and the thief put on a face of mock hurt, tilting his hat up a bit so his eyes were slightly more visible. Conan rolled his eyes and the thief began helping the not-child into a sitting position. In silence, Kaito began to look outside the bars, once more searching his surroundings. Conan did the same.

The room in which the cage resided was white. No windows could be located and the room was overall bare except for the camera in the right-hand corner, the overly ordinary wooden door and barely there infrared motion detector lights that barely left any space even for a small child like Conan to walk through.

KID was good. But not that good without his equipment.

"Well," Said thief cleared his throat, ready to inform the child on what he discovered. "The room we're currently residing in is about 20x27ft. Our cage, as you can see is not small but doesn't take up much space either and has a rather normal lock. It's approximately 9x13ft making longer than it is wide. In height, it's about-"
