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?”
Ran tilted her head to the side and sighed softly, she looked at his hand on her shoulder and bit her lower lip lightly.
“Oh!” she started to say as a small smile appeared on her lips. “I remember how Ayumi told me that the professor said he would take Conan camping soon.” she told the thief and looked at him. “Maybe.. thats where they are? Maybe Shinichi is there too!”
That honestly sounded like an excuse to him. Granted, camping wasn’t all that suspicious… until it involved tantei-kun going without the other children. And apparently him screaming. Just a little hard to buy, for one reckless enough to jump off a skyscraper and free-fall for a while.

“Hmm… maybe… Did you try the professor’s phone? Or did she perhaps know where they were supposed to be going?” Kid asked, keeping his voice steady and calm.
