as discussed! .... Bacardi is free again? That is good! ... Start operation 'Hellfire'? .... All right! Rely on me!" Then he put up on. I was alone, I couldn't do anything against him now. I had to hide here for a few minutes first. Maybe it was better not to just stay here for a few minutes? Gin left the room. And I ... I waited. I also first had to process what I had seen there. I had to watch a murder ... Couldn't intervene. But the fact was that my identity was still a secret. Luckily, that meant that nobody was in danger at first. I sank to my knees in the closet, still waiting. At some point I would feel that it was the right moment to get out of here.It was definitely too dangerous now. Gin might still be around. And I thought of Ran. What should I do now? I can't put her in such danger any longer. What if it didn't turn out so lightly next time? No, there couldn't be a next time. Something had to happen! ANYTHING! But basically I already knew what to do. I knew what this meant anything. But I didn't want to. If there really was something I didn't want to lose. Then it was that, wasn't it? It hurt to even think of such a thing. But what else could I do? While I was still wondering that, I suddenly noticed the strange smell that was sucking in through the cracks and holes in the closet. The house was on fire ... I jumped up and opened the closet. The whole room was already on fire. I didn't even want to know what it was like in the hallways. But somehow I had to get out of here.It was so incredibly hot, stuffy. The view was also obscured by the smoke. Sure, Operation Hellfire ... I could have guessed it right away. How else could he have made the body disappear? I must have been so lost in thought that I hadn't even noticed the start of the fire. Because the room had to be on fire for a few minutes. And I had only recently heard of it. I had to cough. If I didn't get out of here soon, not just a corpse would be burned in here ...

Until I found out, however. After that, I was completely at the end of my nerve. I collapsed a few meters from the building on a side street, weak. I guess I got out at the last moment because now I heard something collapse. It goes without saying that the dilapidated house had to collapse. First I took a deep breath. The fresh air felt good and luckily there was no trace of gin to be seen. "Conan, are you all right?"I hadn't even noticed Ran, who was now standing next to me. Nothing was okay. I had seen a murder that I hadn't been able to prevent. That hurt ... Furthermore, I was just exhausted." It okay ... ", I said weakly. I didn't want Ran to worry about me now. She waited a little longer until my breathing was more even and calm again." Shall we go for a walk? ", she finally asked. Was she going to talk about the kidnapping now? I just nodded. It didn't mean that I had to answer her questions. I was still trying to make up my mind, which I had decided in the closet. But I did still couldn't.

Without saying a word, we walked side by side. Strangely enough, I didn't have any injuries from the fire. I was probably most surprised about it myself. I felt really good now that everything had turned out like that. Ran was safe and we could walk side by side.Now it was something special. A few days ago I would not have appreciated something like that. Just the togetherness. And now? Now I didn't want to miss her anymore. There was nothing better than just walking next to her. To experience something like that at all. It could have been destroyed so quickly. A few seconds later and Ran would have been dead too. Was she even aware of that or was she still wondering why I had suddenly shot the football at the guy. But Ran wasn't stupid. Of course, she must have understood all of his hints. Surely she knew everything about me now and was just waiting for the right moment to confront me. Now I couldn't hide it from her anymore. But she is in greater danger with the truth than with my mere presence. What to do? What is right now. It was maddening. Leave for hair. On the one hand, the truth would finally end this tense relationship between the two of us, on the other hand there was the danger emanating from the organization ... could I really expose Ran to this danger?What would Sherlock Holmes do now? The question was totally unnecessary. Sherlock Holmes had never been in such a situation. I was so at odds and no one could help me. Why couldn't I just enjoy this walk now? Why did the thing have to break this beautiful mood again? Couldn't I get what I wanted? Did everything always have to be so complicated and hopeless? Why couldn't something even go the way I wanted it to?

We arrived at the park. Since it was now dinner time, not a soul was to be seen far and wide. Ran sat down on a bench, I next to her. Anyway, I was wondering why we hadn't gone back yet. Kogoro was certainly already waiting for his dinner and it would slowly be great (note: for me and my mother it is completely extreme. As soon as we are hungry, we are totally in a bad mood and completely unbearable * lol *). "Thank you ...", that was the first word from Ran that she spoke since we started walking together."Thank you for saving me there. And thank you for saving my life again", while she said that, she didn't look at me, she just looked straight ahead. But I felt that it was meant seriously. I was a little honored by the thanks, and I was really happy about it. "You know Conan, when I woke up in there again, I was hoping that Shinichi would get me out. I thought no one else would find me there ...." I looked at her, noticing that she was crying. "When you opened the door, I first thought I would see Shinichi again ... I was just waiting for Shinichi, but then you stood in the door. I was really disappointed for a moment. I couldn't believe that I was like that should have been wrong .... ", Ran paused briefly. "Ran, I ...", I started, but got no further. I didn't want Ran to suffer like that now. That she was crying because of me. No, I didn't mean to. "And then you also save my life when the guy tried to shoot me ... And at first I was disappointed when I saw you.But I just couldn't think of anyone other than Shinichi. You are very similar to Conan ... Really, almost confusingly similar .... "I slowly began to suspect what the whole conversation was going to be. What Ran said made a cold shiver run down my spine. The whole situation was so emotional. I wish I could hug her now as Shinichi, just comfort her a little, but as an elementary school student that was a completely different matter. Ran now turned to me, looked at me Look burned into my thoughts. So sad, desperate .... Ran, I really didn't want any of this. I didn't want you to suffer so much because of me! "Unfortunately, it's not you .... is it? You are not Shinichi! "I thought I was interrogating myself. I stared at Ran. I closed my eyes again and then answered .....

Author's comment:So, that was part 1. As I said, a bit long, but what the heck. The structure of the story was just right ^^ '' 'Actually, I had planned something completely different with the title' Non Sence '.But since I am and I are already planning our next FF, the original ideas for 'Non Sence' came to our next FF together. And then I needed something new again, and was constantly wondering what I could do under the title. And then that's what came out of it. Whether Conan Ran is telling the truth now? Well, maybe XD (I already know!) .... The next part will come on the weekend at the earliest, possibly a week later. It depends on how far I and I get with 'Coz I Can'.
It took surprisingly little time for the length of the text, as well as for the structure. Maybe from now on I should only write short stories that only have one, two or three parts XD. Well, first see how the FF is received by you ^^ '' '
I just want to reveal one thing. The next part will be very emotional, less tension than here! But I always think it's important to bring in a few emotions. I also like emotional FFs better than such action FFs (you can tell for sure * lol *)So again, thank you very much for reading!
