Back? Had he been some where? Brows furrowed together and the last however long (and it must have been long because KID did not get nervous other wise) it had been seemed almost a blur. 

“I know,” he murmured, reaching out to put a hand on the thief’s face as if to make sure it was actually him. He had never caught a glimpse of whoever had been talking to him but he had to make sure that the voice wasn’t using his thief against him. 

Not that he hadn’t been trying to do so anyway. 

“Sorry, I’m not sure what happened.” A frown and he tried to shove it all away, focus on the male before him. Kaito had a way of making it all better in the end.

“We should get going.” Didn’t want anyone coming up on them.

The released hand followed the detective’s, fingers loosely hanging off the other’s wrist, but made no move to pull away from the touch. Then the other hand let go as Kid took a breath, making himself relax.

…They normally didn’t bring up much of the more dangerous parts of their jobs with each other, aside from the general knowledge danger exists… But… If Spider started trying to use his illusions to drag Shinichi into this, he’d need to warn the detective about the man.

But not right now. The other was right, they shouldn’t stay around here, for more reasons than one…

“…Yeah.” Another pause, then he reached into a pocket for a smoke bomb, a faint (almost tired) smirk coming up as he pulled it out. “But we might should leave under some cover right now. Just in case trouble is still around.”
