Sixteenth Case

[ this is probably about as predatory as you will ever see Kazuha look.

But when it involves certain teenage boy detectives who - for once - aren't her childhood friend, it's probably understandable.

Never mind the fact that she's soaked, sacrifices must be made. ]

Kudo Shinichi. I don't know how long you've been hiding out here, but I'm gonna find you.

[ LIGHTNING CRACKLE ]

And then we're going to have a nice, long talk.

Comments

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Yes, you.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Probably better for another time.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

No time like the present.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

You seem busy.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ propping her hands on her hips and giving him her full attention ] It can wait for a few minutes.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Well...

*sigh*

Think we need to talk. Before we end up not seeing each other for another week again.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... [ glancing away for a moment, then back at him ] Yeah, probably.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

But if this is a bad time--

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

It's fine, Crow-kun. Thinking logically, Kudo-kun probably isn't going to be out in this anyway.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Then why are you?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I--

... Doesn't matter, I just needed to get out, and if I somehow find him, so much the better.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

If he's not going to be out here anyway, though, why not "get out" somewhere else? Somewhere dry? If he's here, he's not going anywhere, you and me both know that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

With this weather, who knows? There might be a murder and he'd be on it immediately. [ deadpan as possible ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Harsh.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say it if it hadn't happened.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Still, this is here you're talkin' about.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make anywhere particularly safe.

... But I hate thinking like that, so let's go in for now.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Blimp okay? It's not far from here and I've been getting the towels out for all this.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

-- Yeah, blimp's fine.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Probably something around you can change into too-- C'mon. *and now he's taking the lead*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ pausing for a moment in case any Shinichis come out all HERE I AM \:D/ and then trotting after him ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*away we go*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ whooooo ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*and there it is up ahead* There we go.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ picking that moment to sneeze :( ]
