"I don't believe this," Akai said, extremely shocked at Tyler's suicide. He was curious alright. He learned a little of lip-reading, but he could not see how Vinsanto's lips moved when she revealed to Tyler the Boss's name.
Ran was with him, watching how they executed the plan from a safe distance - she needed to ensure that her husband would still be alive after this. Ran was equally terrified. Her husband was safe alright, but witnessing the boy took his own life... nobody needed to witness that.
The truth seemed so horrifying to Tyler -as if the Boss's name was enough to drive him to murder himself.
Ran silently mourned for the fallen boy.
"Ran, your husband has landed. He is currently tending to Hidemi's wounds, as Rei will get Hidemi to the hospital. But we'll need Doctor Araide to immediately get transported to observe and find a cure for a drug that they had used during the massacre at the headquarters. Eisuke and Kaito Kid will take him there. For now, you're stuck with me. Try not to do anything reckless," Akai informed, trying to sound calm, despite what they had previously witnessed.
Ran could only nod, "sure I'll wait for you at the bottom of the building." She took the staircase. Reaching at her destination, she was caught off-guard when a hand was pressed onto her mouth, muffling her gasps and screams.
"Angel, don't move and just listen," Vermouth whispered, "try not to get more involved. Please." As Vermouth pleaded, an image of her daughter appeared on her thoughts. The woman released Ran and hurried run, escaping in the shadows. This left Ran confused, but she definitely recognised the voice - it was the woman who refused to shoot her, when she had rescued Ai many years ago.
Was that woman really evil? From Ran's view during the incident, Vermouth had the chance to shoot Tomoaki Araide, but did not do so.
"This is bad-"
Akai's muttering distracted Ran from pondering.
"I received a distress call from Jodie. But I can't call her back, probably something happened to her device. It's my fault, I was supposed to be there, but I got distracted with my job here," he stated.
"Jodie-sensei? Is she with anyone else?" Ran asked frantically.
"She's with Professor Agasa and the girl named Haibara Ai," he answered.
"Now, you're stuck with me, but please go and hide-"
"No-"
"No?"
"No," Ran shook her head, "I don't want Agasa, Jodie-sensei and Ai-chan to get hurt. If Ai-chan gets hurt, Conan-kun will..." she stopped mid-way. Akai let out a loud sigh in frustration.
He said as he passed his car keys to her, "you're one stubborn duck. Alright, but you'll drive. And when your life is in danger, scram. I can't guarantee that either of us would make it out alive." Ran nodded, dignified like a soldier who had just graduated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Haibara, get out of here!" Jodie yelled, while trying to have a shoot-out with Chianti. Ai shook her head, unwilling to leave Agasa or Jodie. The place that they were staying at was in chaos, as if a cyclone had hit it. The bricks were all over the area, with some of the furniture on fire.
Gin previously hurled a tear gas, attempting to weed them out of their hiding place. The effects of the gas made Agasa cough frequently, slowing them down because they needed to carry Agasa. They were able to come out unharmed, but that was what the enemy wanted - Chianti and Korn were waiting for them. Once they did appear out of their hiding place, they were met with a series of shots. With Agasa lagging behind, he was fatally wounded by one of the firing bullets, causing him to have bled out and was now unconscious.
