You yawned, and stretched your arms above your head. It had been a while since the Kid heist, and your body was almost completely healed. You'd given in and allowed Haibara to treat your wounds, which probably helped you heal faster (not that you'd admit that to Conan). Now, you were sitting in the front seat of the Professor's yellow Volkswagen on your way to go camping.

"Why'd I have to come along?" You grumbled to no one in particular.

"Ran wanted you to come. Besides, what else were you going to do?" Conan replied.

"I don't know, maybe read, or do some investigating into my secret admirers." You yawned, completely uninterested by the idea of camping with three brats, a clingy detective, overbearing old man, and a girl that was just as bored as you were.

When you'd arrived at the campsite, you all busied yourselves with setting up camp. You were given instructions to help put up the tent, but you were completely baffled by the senseless contraption. There would have been a multitude of easier methods, but the inventor decided to make everything complicated. Finally, Conan had to come over and help you out. Simply put, you were already in a bad mood when the brats decided they wanted to explore the cave.

You'd think that such a simple task as gathering wood couldn't involve many distractions, but you'd be wrong. Those brats managed to find a dark pit in the earth, then get it in their minds there was treasure hidden inside. Now here you were in a cold damp cave, that you really weren't feeling up to.

You all were using the light on your watches to guide your way. The three brats just wanted to find treasure, those greedy idiots, while you and Conan were there to make sure they didn't get into any trouble. You were boredly glancing around, when something caught your eye. You stooped, and picked up the crumpled cigarette.

"What is it?" Conan asked, looking over your shoulder.

"It's a cigarette, and the filter is still damp. Could someone else be down here?" You thought aloud.

"That could be a few days old for all we know. Besides, we're in a cave, everything is damp." He replied with very little interest in his voice.

You shrugged, dropped the cigarette, and followed after the reckless brats.

"Hey, look!" Mitsuhiko called. "There's a light up ahead!"

"Maybe someone else got to the treasure first." Ayumi mumbled sadly.

"If we'd come a little earlier, we could have found it!" Genta growled, as he stalked towards the light. What is your plan you idiot? Are you going to fight whoever is there? You thought to yourself as you watched the stupid boy walk towards the light.

"Oi, Genta, hold on." Conan called after the boy, but to no avail.

When Genta reached the corner, he froze. He yelped and stumbled back, before scrambling back to your waiting group.

"What's wrong with you?" You grumbled at the panicked boy.

"C-Corpse!" He whimpered fearfully, as someone stepped from around the corner he'd just retreated from.

"You brats!" The man growled. He reached into his coat, and Conan and you responded immediately.

"Hand gun!" Conan shouted, as he tried to push everyone back towards the mouth of the cave.

There was a deafening bang, followed by a bright flash. The flash temporarily blinded the man, allowing the five of you time to find cover behind some of the jutting rocks.
