Part Two: self-sacrifice
Chapter 2: Self Sacrifice
* Professor Agasa's house, Ai is on the phone with Conan *
"YOU HAVE SOMETHING???" it came from Conan's side absolutely shocked. "Yes ..." said Ai almost indifferently. “A black Porsche 356A followed me all the way and is now parked on the other side of the street… I don't have to refer to the two all-too-familiar figures inside the car, do I?” Ai looked almost amused because Conan pushed such a panic. She didn't really know why she stayed so calm…. maybe because the worst that could have happened now had happened…. somehow she felt ... liberated.
"You don't have to worry about the professor ..." she continued in an absolutely calm and determined tone, "He wasn't there when I got home, and I already let him know by phone that he was away should stay away until I'm gone ... "
"UNTIL YOU'RE GONE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" shouted conan who didn't quite know what to do now ... ..how had that happened? How did you suddenly know who she was ... .. did you also know who he was ....... "Listen, you fool," said Ai with a sharper voice, "we both have to leave as quickly as possible, preferably in completely different directions, because now that they know who I am, it won't be long either until they know who you are, and then they will kill everyone who has anything to do with you or me ....... I should stop now, I guess you have tapped the line ...: ".... "Haibara, wait! Haibara!" conan called, but she had already hung up …….
"Damn!", Conan swore as he clapped the phone on the cradle ... .. he didn't know what to do now ... .. did you really know who he was? And if so: could he just run away and leave Ran, Kogoro and everyone else at risk of being killed ... what should he do ???Suddenly his cell phone rang …….
[i]What now? I really have enough to do[i], thought conan, annoyed, and pulled the phone out of his pocket… ..[i]unknown number? Who could it be?[i]He picked up, but didn't say anything at first to hear our turn. "Hello, cool kid! It's me, Jodie"[i]…… hm? Does she know something or is it just a coincidence that she's calling me now? He thought to himself, "Listen, could you stop by? We have something important to discuss with you." Jodie followed suit, even if it was kind of strange that the FBI got in touch with him now So he basically had no reason to distrust Miss Starling ... so he promptly made his way to the headquarters, but as a precaution he put on a wide raincoat so that his face could not be easily recognized.
* Professor Agasa's house, basement - Ai's laboratory *
[i]Shinichi… ..I hope you will forgive me one day …… I am doing this just for you, and I hope you are smart enough to do the right thing… ..[i]With that thought she filled it made powder in the second capsule and hid it in a slipper of the professor ... .. of course so that the professor couldn't just crush it ...... she sealed the second capsule in a very small plastic bag, in order to swallow it and hide it in her , She was still grateful to that strange wizard that he had once pleased her with such tricks, that had made this time in this terrible place in America much easier for her, although she had never thought that she would do this one trick for her had taught times would apply .......[i]Thanks again, Toichi Kuroba, I hope you are in a better world now… ..[i]She knew that the wizard had been killed by the organization a short time later, even if she never found out why.
After she was sure that there was nothing to suggest the others, she took her umbrella and walked straight to Gin's car …….* FBI headquarters *
"Do you think he's coming?" Jodie asked, still not understanding what had happened to Conan to make him look like this. "I'm not sure," replied James, who had been staring thoughtfully into the air the whole time. He just couldn't imagine that the boy hadn't thought that they could find out his true identity from his fingerprints ……. : But maybe this was exactly his intention .......
A doorbell ripped both of them out of their thoughts, and Jodie went straight to the door, trying not to show anything. "Ah, cool kid!" she called as Conan stepped over the threshold. "You look funny in that bright yellow raincoat!" She said, in a pathetic attempt to loosen the general mood - and herself - a little.
"No long talk, please.", Conan said, clearly showing how much time was burning for him. "I know that there are two members of the organization in front of Professor Agasa's house, it is in all probability gin and vodka!" Conan exclaimed, almost in panic. "You have to send someone there immediately, otherwise Ai will sacrifice himself!"
Jodie was so surprised by this sudden information that she just stared at him for a moment, totally perplexed. But James had switched immediately and ordered Agent Camel, together with another employee who was anyway near the Beika apartment block, to go to Professor Agasa's house.
* Professor Agasa's house *
It is teeming with black people who turn everything upside down and take all floppy disks, PCs and similar devices with them. Gin and vodka stand completely indifferent between them, while everything around them is taken apart ......
"Shouldn't we have killed Sherry right away?" Vodka asked, who as always did not think fast enough to understand what was actually going on ... "No, we have to squeeze them out first.But afterwards ... "Gin licked his lips like a predator preparing to tear apart its prey," ... .. she's mine. "He finished his sentence and laughed dirty.
About 10 minutes later
"Camel here, we have reached the destination, but there is no trace of the target persons, and the professor's house is just going up in flames ..., Morris is just in to see if anyone is still inside, but it looked like it was leave the whole house, the fire brigade has already been notified, I will be in touch later
1 hour later
The fire is out, it didn't have much time to spread….
The professor, Conan, Jodie and James Black stand in front of the ruin ...
"It's bad enough that these bastards had to steal all research material, but that they are now burning my house too," the professor scolded quietly to himself, although he was actually much more worried about Ai than about his house ...
Conan didn't say anything. He was just at a loss. They had no trace, they had no clue. Nothing! He didn't even know whether the BO would try to take him with them or not, and he didn't even know whether Ai was still alive ... ..or whether Ran and her father would be safe ...... How much longer …… When… ..When is it finally over ……
Finally Jodie took heart. She just had to know what had happened now. But how? How do you ask someone such a question ……. She just decided to do it indirectly. "Tell me ……. Shinichi…." she began, pronouncing the name as if it were quite normal that she would suddenly call him, "you don't know by chance ...", but then conan interrupted her too, who had only now realized what she had just called him would have. "What? How? I ... .:" but then he broke off and sighed softly .... "Well ... ..how long have you known?" he asked now, suddenly much calmer.
Jodie was surprised for some reason.She had been sure that he would try to use an excuse, but that he reacted like this ...... "We just got it out" she said in a slightly hoarse voice, "We couldn't believe it at first, but ..." she stopped ...... Why couldn't she keep talking? .............
"It was the fingerprints, wasn't it? The fingerprints on the cell phone that I gave you for examination ..." Conan now turns to her and looked her straight in the eye. "Your computer must have told you that the fingerprints on the cell phone ..... belonged to Shinich Kudo, didn't it?"
....
"Yes," said Jodie resignedly.
2 hours later.
The professor had stayed with some FBI people at the rubble of his house to dig some things out of the rubble, Jodie and James had driven back to headquarters and Conan had gone home wondering how he would tell Ran that he had to leave the next day. He knew that he could no longer stay, for this reason his disguised mother would pick him up the next day, and he would try to go into hiding somewhere outside first. He didn't know where yet.
"It's time for dinner! Come on, Conan, I've cooked your favorite meal!" exclaimed Ran happily, and waved a steaming ladle. "huh?" Ran was startled when she saw the look on his face, which somehow scared her ... "Conan! Conan what's going on? Did something happen at school? Did you have an argument with your friends?" Ran was really worried, because Conan still looked at the floor and didn't say a word ... "Hey" she shook him a little now. "Conan! What's wrong with you?"
Finally he straightened his head and looked directly at her. He knew that this would hurt her a lot now, and he hated himself for what he was doing to her now.
"I ran ... I will ... I will go away." Conan said in a low voice. "My mother….informed me that she ... ..that she no longer wants me .. "but he couldn't get any further." What? "asked Ran in shock and sank to his knees." What's the matter? Why? What happened? "Ran was totally beside himself. Why? Why did the world do this to her? First Shinichi, and now Conan, who was like a brother to her ...... why did he have to go, now when she needed him the most ... .
But then she composed herself again .. "When?" she asked softly. "When will you go?" ...... This was the moment that shinichi was most afraid of ...... he hated himself, he hated all of this, all of the lies, this situation, and that the only thing he could do to protect Ran was like that To get as far away from her as possible ……… "Tomorrow noon" he said dryly, and he felt so miserable that he would have loved to drop dead on the spot.
Ran nodded. She didn't start crying again. She
