The Test Subject : A Detective Conan Fanfiction

36 Kidnap Turned Murder

Hello my sweet, sweet Melons!! Some info that's good to know : the last time Ellie saw Jaden was yesterday at dinner. Everyday right before lunch, Jaden takes the trash out back. This is most likely when he got kidnapped - but by who? And why? Just as Ellie thinks, Conan does know everything. He didn't tell Ellie for multiple reasons, which will be explained in this chapter. Said chapter will be jumping around to a ton of different times, so sorry if it's a bit confusing. I'm trying my best... :P

*=*=*=*=*=*

Jaden's POV - this is at closing time, the day before last chapter

I locked the doors up and whistled a tune as I walked to my car. Like always, Ellie just left and I was once again pondering about her life outside the gas station. I know it's none of my business, but still, I'd love to meet her parents one day. Why is she always alone?

I shrugged it off, and unlocked my car to drive home.

With the key only half-way turned, I heard the noise of another trashcan turning over. This is nothing new to me. Stupid raccoon! Stop going through the trash!!

Returning my keys to my pocket, I walk down the dark ally to scare them off quickly. Looking around, I don't see any animals... weird... I turn the trashcan upright again, and walk back to my car.

Before I can even get there, I hear someone sigh in relief.

"WHO'S THERE?!" I spin around to face them.

The person curses quietly, barely enough for me to hear. "I was hoping you wouldn't notice..." A gun reloaded. "I didn't want to dispose of anyone tonight..."

I froze in fear. Dispose?! What's that supposed to mean?!?!

A man in a black suit stepped out from behind a corner. "Well, maybe you could be useful..." He held a gun in his hand. I wanted to run, but my feet wouldn't move. "Tell me, is your name Jaden?"

I opened my mouth but mouth but came out.

"Go on, spit it out! Is it or is it not?!"

"Y-y-yes..." My entire body trembled as I spoke the words. Sweat dripped down my face.

"Do you know this girl?" He held up a picture. "What is her name?"

"I know h-h-her... Th-that's Ellie..."

The man pulled out a walkie-talkie. "Mam, this is Cider speaking. I haven't found the target, however I did find someone with more information. Your orders?" He waited a second, as the person on the other end decided my fate.

He returned it to his coat pocket. "Mr. Jaden, you are coming with me." He took a step forwards. I took a step back.

"N-no."

"Excuse me?"

"No. I w-wont go with you!!" I gulped, trying to hide my obvious terror. 

"Sir, this is not an option. Scorpion thinks Gin would like to see you. Then he will see you." He held up the gun. "And lets hope your alive for it."

Conan's POV - it's a few hours after breakfast, the same day as last chapter

"where are you going, Conan?" Ran asked as I opened the front door.

"Library. Genta's sick, so we can't play ball at the park today."

"What about Haibara? Couldn't you play the game with her?"

"Ayumi tried that. She said no."

"Oh, then ok. Be careful and come home before lunch, got it?"

"Yes, Ran." I closed the door.
