Shinichi's POV:
I wake up, safe in Kaito's arms. Wolf chan is asleep on the floor, sprawling across the door, blocking it shut, whilst Arthur is chewing on a scrap of leather. I'm still Shinichi, thank goodness, and Kai is still fast asleep. I gently disentangle myself from him, waking him without meaning to, so I could stretch and go to the toilet. Kaito groans softly, wiping the corners of his eyes as he sits up. I'm already leaving the room, wolf chan leaping up and moving the moment I look at the door. I return, to see Kai sat on the edge of the bed, a frown on his beautiful face.

"Kaito? What's wrong?" I ask him, wanting to call him Kai~chan again, but feeling too awkward to. He doesn't say a word, but hands his tablet over to me silently. He's got the local news up on the screen. It's headline screams loudly. Another victim. Unlike others, who wouldn't make the connection between these cases, I know Gin and Boss have claimed another victim, that made five so far, including kai~chan, who made it out alive. Four murders and one attempted murder. I want to help the police, to put Gin and Boss behind bars, though I was starting to have doubts about vermouth, she hadn't done anything illegal since the organisation had been taken down, unless you count being alive when your supposed to be dead.

"Shin~chan, please, I think you'll be safer as conan-kun for now. I don't know what I'd do if they got their target..." the magician thief, the all cheerful, never beaten kaitou kid, is worried about me. I make up my mind, I'm going to help the police, tell them what 'conan' knows, but I'm going to need Kai~chan and Tagaki keiji's help. I take a deep breath.

"Kait...Kai..Kai~chan? Let's go and talk to Megure keibu, shinichi and conan will be in the same room though..." I ask him, and he grins, his cheeky, kaitou kid grin. If there's one thing that Kaito will always enjoy, it's making the police look like fools. I'm not defending that or anything, but seriously, it's not that hard. We dress, heading downstairs to make coffee and hot chocolate. Wolf chan, Arthur kun and the doves follow. Haibara is asleep on the sofa, leaning on hattori's shoulder. I notice the gleam in Kaito's eyes as he takes a picture for blackmail, as I notice hattori is still a teenager.

Hattori wakes up, and insists on coming with us after interrogating us thoroughly, but Haibara argues that she's not sure how long he's got in his teen body, and anyway, he's supposed to be missing, presumed dead. I agree with Haibara, but I'd rather hattori came with us, I've already thought of a way to explain his absence, and anyway, if what I've deduced is correct, the more detectives that back me up, the better. After all, who'd believe that such a famous person is capable of such horrendous deeds? I do feel sorry for ojiisan though, he wasn't going to like the truth.

I discuss my deductions with Hattori and Kaito quietly, changing to Conan afterwards and leaving my house. (Kaito had smoothed his hair back and put in some coloured contacts, glad to be 'playing detective' again. Seriously, he'd make a good detective if he wasn't such a kleptomaniac.) wolf chan follows us for a while, before heading off somewhere with a letter tied round her white and blue collar. Arthur follows us, Kaito walking along and talking to Hattori like he's always known him, Hattori arguing back like he would if it was actually me he was talking to, with me leading the way on my skateboard, though I hadn't pressed the 'boost' button yet.

Wolf's POV:
I follow the three boys for a short while, until I caught the faint scent of that woman I disliked, but respected. I used to think she was as evil as the rest of them, but now, I'm not so sure. I leave master Kaito arguing with hattori San and wag my tail at conan kun as I rush by, trying to follow the scent of that woman. She's nearby, sat in a cafe near the police station, but she's not in her 'normal' attire. She's disguised as an elderly woman, with a veil over her eyes. She's sat outside, watching the world go by. I approach her cautiously, wagging my tail politely. The old woman holds her hand out to me, and I sniff carefully. Yes, this is definitely her. I sit and offer my left paw, panting nervously. Please, please notice the note, we need your help obaasan.

"Konniciwa, wolf-chan. Are you well?" The old lady asks me, as if she were talking to a human. I nod, knowing full well who she was. "Oh, what's that you have there? May I look at that paper, please?" She asks me, as I tilt my head so she can take it. The old lady takes the note with slightly shaking hands, and unfolds it. I've already read it, and know what it says:

Rotten apple,
Silver bullet and the moonlight magician need your
Help. We know you're not all bad, and it seems you've
Kept sherry and Conan a secret from the others. We
Know your granddaughter is Boss. We'd like your
Help to bring her down. In return, all evidence of
Your criminal activity will be kept secret, allowing
Chris vineyard to return if she wants to.

If you want to help us, meet us at the Kudo mansion
alone On Saturday at twelve noon.

Signed:
Edogawa Conan
And
Kaitou kid, (kid doodle)

The old woman smiles, patting my head. "Wolf chan, I've tried to convince her, but I've gone into hiding now, I don't want to kill anyone else. You were by far my best idea." She whispers softly in her real voice, not the old, shaky one from a moment ago. I bark softly, nuzzling her hand, before I leave the old lady, glad that she wasn't as evil as I'd originally thought. My dog senses told me she wasn't a threat to master Kaito and Shinichi San, and in a way, I'm glad she instigated those experiments that gave me my intelligence. I head back to the police station, where master Kaito, Shinichi San and hattori SAN were. I'm glad I got to see vermouth again.

Narrators POV:
Nakamori Aoko is scowling at her phone, angry to see the text in front of her. Kaito was going to spend the whole week of half term away at 'his friends house.' She didn't believe him, but there wasn't much she could do, Kuroba chikage San was still abroad, and she hadn't a clue who Kaito could be spending the week with. Hakuba kun had made it clear he didn't know, which made her suspect Kaito of something. She didn't know what, but Kaito, her best friend, was up to something, and it made her nervous. She decided to serve him a large selection of FISH when he finally showed himself, as revenge for making her worry.

Aoko is so busy glaring at her phone, she jumps when her father rushes into the kitchen where she is sat, falling off her chair with surprise. Her father apologises (a rare occurrence for the inspector) and begins his rant.

"Aoko, have you seen Kaito kun? That rascal Megure just called, apparently the serial murders, all the victims look like Kaito kun. It's possible he could be a target...." Aoko freezes where she's sat on the floor. It was almost out of character for her father to show concern for Kaito like that, but then, it was his job, as a keibu, to protect civilians. That, and Aoko suspected her father saw Kaito almost as her brother. Not that her father had ever said or hinted at such a thing.

Back in beika, at the police station, Megure keibu is having a heated argument with hattori heiji. He's furious at the teen for making everyone worry, and can't understand the western high school detective's reaction. Tagaki keiji is staring at conan and 'shinichi' with a confused look, because of all the officers there, only he knows Conan kun and Kudo kun can't be in the same room as they were the same person. Tagaki keiji crouches down and whispers to Conan, asking him if the eastern detective was actually kid in disguise. Sato keiji, Tagaki's girlfriend, overheard him, gives the three of them a chilling Haibara style glare, and walks up to 'Kudo kun'. She pinches his face firmly, making the 'detective' yelp with pain. He glares at her angrily and rubs his face where she pinched him.

Kaito's POV:
Watching hattori kun arguing with the keibu was amusing, but that keiji San, tagaki keiji, his strange looks towards me and 'conan kun' were unnerving. Eventually he comes over to us and asks conan if 'Kudo kun' is actually kid in disguise. I have a strong poker face covering my mild surprise as another keiji San walks up to me suddenly and pinches my face. I yelp and ask her what she did that for. Luckily, I look like shin~chan naturally, so it wasn't a problem for her to check for a mask on my face. Conan is trying to get Megure keibu's attention, failing miserably due to hattori kun and his insistent arguing. Conan looks at me, and I grin suddenly, a calm, amused grin, that conan returns with a wink.

I throw down a smoke pellet, and change into my KID costume. Conan changes to shinichi in the confusion, and calls out to Megure keibu.

"Megure keibu, hattori, quiet, I think our friend here wants to say somethi......... ah le where's Conan?" Megure keibu and hattori kun quiet down for a brief moment, before they realise I'm in the room and conan has vanished. Of course, hattori kun knows shin~chan is conan, but Megure keibu is confused.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. May I speak to tantei Han, tantei San and keibu San, please?" I ask politely, half hoping the other police officers would try and arrest me so I could pull a few tricks on them. Shin~chan shouts at them to leave me alone (mores the pity) and asks Megure keibu to join him in a small room away from the other officers. Hattori kun is looking at shin~chan warily, as the other detective trains his watch on him, daring the Osakan teen to push his luck.

Shinichi's (Conan's) POV:
Once out of the prying eyes (and ears) of the other keiji san's, I explain the reason for hattori' visit to the police station with me and 'conan'. Megure keibu was looking at kid with curiosity, clearly wondering why hattori and I weren't bothered by his presence.

"Megure keibu, hattori is working on that case with me and KID here. As you know, I had to go into hiding before the takedown, and there are still three members on the loose." Megure keibu interrupts me to comment on my mistake, saying there's four members still on the loose. Kaito grins at him, the classic, crazy, kid grin he reserves for police officers and inspectors only.

"No, tantei San is right, only three. You remember the unidentifiable dead man at the Kuroba kaito shooting, don't you? That was number four, Vodka. He was sniped by the FBI, after he shot at Kuroba San and tantei San." Kaito explains to the confused inspector. I continue to explain after that, how they were targeting me for bringing the organisation down, how hattori had gotten involved by deducing the real identity of one of their surviving members (not that we mentioned her name, In a way, Sharon vineyard wasn't all bad, she was just a victim as much as kid, Haibara or myself, in a strange way.) and how he'd been forced into hiding alongside me, until we could take the remaining three down.

"I'm only involved, because they murdered my mentor, Megure keibu, they murdered Kaitou kid the first. I'm just the apprentice, following in their masters sneaky footseps" Kaito adds, once I'd explained the best I could. Megure suggests hattori should call his parents, but before he can and, unfortunately, after we'd left the small room, I notice hattori wince in pain. Kaito notices it too, and whispers to me. 'Oi oi, not now!' Megure doesn't notice, but Tagaki keiji, who happens to be walking by, does.

"Megure keibu, have they agreed to help us on this serial killer case?" He called to the inspector, as he glances at hattori, who winces in pain again. The antidote is wearing off, in the middle of a police station, if all places. I look pleadingly at Tagaki keiji, who returns my look with a raised eyebrow. Not now, not here. Why does hattori always pick the worst possible moments?
