Part five: Detective of West
[b]Chapter 5: Master of West[b]
When Conan finally arrived at Teitan High School, he didn't take the time to breathe, but ran straight to the classroom ... he wasn't sure what he was going to do to get her out of here, but he was sure that had to be .
He ran down the hall until he finally got to the classroom, he threw the door open and ……….
There was nobody there.
No ran. No teacher. Not a student.
Nobody.
* half an hour earlier, same place *
"So folks, since your geography teacher is sick you can go home two hours earlier today, use the time to study for work tomorrow," said Mr. Obasaru at the end of the English lesson.
"Hm…." Ran mumbled thoughtfully to herself …… ..She still missed Miss Jodie as her English teacher. Somehow she always handled everything so much more loosely ………… even if that was maybe because she wasn't actually a teacher at all.
Thoughtful Ran ran around a corner when suddenly someone put a hand roughly on her shoulder from behind and dragged her into a darker corner before she could react.
* back in the present *
Conan had asked in the staff room where Ran was and was told that she had been out earlier today. No sooner had he found out about this than he ran in the direction of the detective agency.
As soon as he got there he ran up the stairs to sneak in as quietly as possible ……. there was no sound to be heard…. not even Kogoros snore, or the running of the television that could usually be heard ...... slowly he felt his way through the whole detective agency, always trying not to give up a target, in case a sniper was sitting on the roof .......[i]No, no …… No that mustn't be… ..[i], he thought as he ran down into the apartment, in anticipation of the worst …… when he ran down hastily to sprint around the next corner, he suddenly saw a dark figure for a short time, and then passed out ...* forty minutes later *
"conan ...!" forced it into the dark unconsciousness ...
"Hey Conan!" .... Chapter 5: Master of West

“conan….!” it forced itself into the dark unconsciousness….
"Hey Conan!" ...[i]there it was again ... .. who did this voice belong to? He knew her…. but who ...[i]
"Please wake up, Conan!" came that worried voice again ...
Then suddenly someone shook him, and a somewhat more gruff but nevertheless friendly and familiar voice said: "Now wake up!"
"Hm..?" Conan muttered as he opened his eyes, still dazed, then suddenly widened them in surprise. "Ha ... Hattori, you?" he asked, completely perplexed.
Heiji grinned at him and Ran let out a relieved breath.
"What are you doing here?" Conan asked, still confused by the sudden change in the situation.
"You know ..." Heiji was just starting when Conan finally noticed where he was.
He was in the back seat of a yellow VW Beetle, the professor was behind the wheel, and Ran was in the passenger seat. "How did I get here?" he asked himself again very much. "The last thing I remember is ..."
"Yes, I can guess!" said Heiji, still grinning. "You came running around the corner like an oiled lightning bolt and ran full against a slate that a passer-by had dragged in front of him ....... You can be lucky that I was standing right next to you and of course immediately picked you up and brought you here. . "
"Aha ......" Conan said dryly. "And let me guess, the professor called you to come over, whereupon you came straight away and grabbed Ran so that she could take you to the professor ……. Am I right?" he asked, slightly annoyed.
"Shrewd as always," Heiji grinned back.
"All right ..... um ... professor, what we talked about, do you have the items you need with you?" Conan asked a little nervously.
"Yes, I have all my things in this bag ..:" With these words, Professor Agasa threw the said bag over to him. "Ai actually had it hidden in the broken flap of my slippers, which she always said I should mend.Really ironic, they are the only thing that survived the fire completely unscathed. "He said cheerfully. Considering that this man had lost his house and his research partner the day before, Professor Agasa really was an astonishingly optimistic person.
“Very good,” Conan said firmly. "Then I suggest that we go to Miss Jodie's now, I had arranged with her that we would meet her again today."
Said and done. Thirty minutes later they found themselves on the doorstep of the FBI headquarters on the outskirts of Tokyo. They hadn't told Ran that this was FBI headquarters, nor that Conan was going to turn back anytime soon. These aspects made Conan quite a headache.
After waiting about two minutes, a door slit went out and a voice growled: "Who to whom?", "E and H to St and Bl, including 2Z!" Conan replied before anyone could even wonder. The door opened without hesitation and they found themselves in a gloomy, cool corridor.
The man who let them in turned out to be Agent Morris, whom the professor and Conan already knew. Without another word, he led her into a rather small room with spartan furnishings and told her to wait. Shortly thereafter, Jodie Starling and James Black entered.
"Hi Cool Kid!" said Jodie, unusually cool. "I would like to speak a word with you, alone." added her.
