“You know, I have half-a-mind to find you now and see if this ‘phone dying when I’m around thing’ actually works.” He plucked the card up and looked it over, then scowled at the transmitter.
He had to be close enough to shoot this thing accurately, but he couldn’t find him from where he was standing now. Dammit.
And good luck trying to find him. He’s in his ‘incognito’ clothes right now, and he sure as heck wasn’t staying near after getting the card in place, so he just casually wandered off like any other random passerby. Didn’t want to test how close he’d have to be for it to take effect, so he’ll stick with his safety of ‘card shot’ distance and then stay in range for the transmitter to work.
The thief does know how not to bring attention to himself. Sometimes.
“Oi, oi… Give me a break, it’s not like I use my phone to just help me steal things. I do have a more normal life I’d like it to be working in, too. I doubt you’d be happy to get phone troubles, hmm, tantei-kun?”
This is how they’re going to communicate? Childish. “Ever heard of a phone charger?”
“That won’t help as much on the go, now would it? Do you really think I’d have time to let it charge to be useful if you happen to show up at a heist? More than a little important I keep working communication on me if I have it.”
Not that he always does, but that’s beside the argument. If he has Jii working with him, they need to keep in touch, and a dead phone would not be welcome.
(Should probably add that his version of he M!A will be: If he gets near tantei-kun, his phone’s battery is gone. Even if he doesn’t have the phone with him (since that wasn’t specified). It can be charged back, but that doesn’t help much if he needs it soon after a happenstance involving the chibi.)
