The thief turned at sudden voice, smiling at the other and resisting the urge to take a few steps away. While she was normally a nice girl, knowing what she could do with karate always kept him wary, even if he’d never actually been on the receiving end…
“Hmm? I wasn’t aware you were looking for me, ojou-san. Do you need something?”
Right now, Ran was just so happy to have the young Thief around.. something was wrong and she knew it. Something horrible was going on and he was the only one she could think of.. after all he was smart and he would always find a way out of a mess.
The brunette watched him as he placed a hand on her shoulder and leaned closer to her. Knowing that he would help her made her calm down and think straight, she closed her eyes to remember what else Conan said on the phone. “I don’t know.. i- it was like he was whispering.. maybe he was talking to Shinichi..” she told the thief before her and sighed as she opened her eyes. “Maybe he was somewhere and he didn’t want people to find out so he was whispering.. he said something about some men in black and then he told me he cant talk to me right now and the next thing i could hear was him screaming and i could hear him drop is phone.” she explained and didn’t realize that her tears were streaming down her face again.
That… was definitely bad…
Kid didn’t let the worry show on his face, but inside, he was cursing the detectives’ recklessness. He probably wasn’t one to talk, and while he’d known for some time that they’d gotten involved in something big, they shouldn’t have tried anything without at least telling someone… Wait…
He focused his attention back on Ran, bringing the other hand up, cupping her cheek and using his thumb to gently wipe the wetness from her face. The thief wished he could calm her worry entirely, but with things as they were… he wasn’t sure that would be possible right now.
“Please, dry your tears. They’re going to be fine. If something had happened to them, you’d have heard something by now, right? That you haven’t means they’re okay.”
Or, at least, not dead…
“Is there anyone tantei-kun might have told exactly where he was going? Someone he seemed close to, aside from tantei-han and yourself?”
