"Akemi Miyano ... 09/27/1981 ..."
Now Conan knew what the code A M 27 09 19 81 should mean. It wasn't code at all. "Akemi's birthday," Conan mumbled softly.
"Exactly, today she would have been 27 years old," nodded Haibara and looked at the floor. "That's why I'm here, I just had to come and visit her grave."
"You should have told me something, I would have come with you and then ...", the little one began.
"What then? Would you have tried to comfort me? Nobody can comfort me today. Akemi is no longer alive, that's bad enough, but on her birthday I want to be alone. All alone," interjected Ai.
She had been so fragile again.
Like when they were together with Professor Hirota and Ai had an emotional outburst.
Now he noticed it, he noticed how lonely and sad Haibara was without her sister. And no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to comfort her. Nobody would be able to do that.
"I'm sorry," Shinichi mumbled quietly, and he too looked at the floor. "I couldn't protect her back then and that's why she had to die."

He was aware of everything again, he had known that Akemi was one of the perpetrators and also that she was in great danger.
I'm going anyway ..., she said at the time after she had knocked the boy out. She was not stopped and drove away in her car.
She knew
She knew she was going to die, and yet she risked it.
For her sister to get her out of the organization. But she didn't make it, the beautiful plan failed and Akemi gave her life.

"No one could have saved her. She did it all because of me. If only I wasn't so important to the organization," Ai mumbled and wiped away her tears. "Then everything would have turned out differently and he could have protected her."
"He?" Asked Conan. His instinct had now been awakened again and he wanted to know if she meant it."The man from before?"
"Come on, let's go. I've been here long enough," said Haibara.
Now she looked back at the grave, then she smiled a little when she looked at Conan.
She didn't want to tell him who the strange man was for him. It was way too dangerous and how could she have told him about it?
'Conan, the man was Akemi's boyfriend, he paid for the whole grave here, organized her funeral and oh yeah, he works for the FBI and against the organization.'
No, she couldn't say that, and that was exactly what would put him in danger.
She didn't want that, someone shouldn't be in danger again because of her. Not after she found out that Akemi was staying in the organization because of her, even though she had the chance and could get out.
"He was her boyfriend back then, a long time ago," she said when he asked and hoped that he wouldn't say anything again.
"Your friend? Then he's in the organization too," Conan growled and looked back. He hoped the man was still there, but that didn't work.
Nothing.
Both were now alone and stood in front of Akemi's grave.
"No, he wasn't. I couldn't smell anything on him and you know what that means," the girl lied. She wanted, she couldn't tell him.
Conan couldn't be in danger because of her.
"I see, then we were lucky," Conan smiled relieved.

"So how far are you?" The man wanted to know. He was in his car and held the cell phone to his ear. Next to him sat his partner, who watched the conversation attentively, even if he could not hear the other voice.
As always, he drove the car, which he didn't always find that great. Most of the time he was just a henchman and carried out the lower orders, while his partner, Gin, knew the boss personally and was allowed to take care of the bigger things. Sometimes it was unfair.
But what was fair?
The organization certainly not.They did what they wanted and just wanted to gain power, no matter how and no matter over whom.
"Don't worry. Everything is going according to plan," came the reply.
The woman on the end of the line was sitting at her home, holding the receiver to her ear and smoking a cigarette before answering him.
"You always say that, but so far nothing has gone wrong. I hope for you, everything is going as you want it now," said Gin into the receiver. Then he looked at vodka and gave it the signal that he could drive on.
Vodka did it immediately, he had known for a long time that, as Gin's partner, he was only there to drive the Porschen 356A and to do nothing else.

So far nothing really had gone wrong.
Hardly ever.
There was one thing that went wrong. But the boss of the organization could understand this. So far, no one has been able to complete the job, but he had expected that.
Back then.
Shuichi Akai had long since left the organization and yet he was a bad enemy. Again and again he wanted to get revenge and have the organization taken up.
They were lucky and it didn't work, but Akai had to be stopped. He had been hunted for over two years, every time organization members were assigned to him, but no one could stop him.
Back in New York. Vermouth, one of the best hit men, should take care of Akai. She disguised herself as the serial killer and quickly met the enemy. Because she was a little surprised at the beginning, she was hit by him and had to retreat.
She had failed.
She couldn't kill him even if she tried. But she kept thinking about what the boss had said about the FBI agent.
He's dangerous. Turn it off as fast as you can. Shuichi Akai, he's like a silver bullet.
Vermouth was beginning to believe that too. Shuichi Akai, he was the one who was able to destroy the organization.He was the silver bullet that could take on a cannon. He was the one who could prevent the worst.

Vermouth hadn't really been on the side of the organization in a long time. It all just reminded her of the bad times she was going through. Before, when she was Sharon Vineyard, it wasn't easy either.
She had only met the boss by chance, he had brought her into the organization and she was grateful to him for everything.
Grateful for everything he did for her.
But then she realized what the organization really was. She was a monster, the one that you didn't want to bring to light.
And yet she could never get out; she had been too part of it.
And that for years.
Before, she wanted to get out, but she had never had the strength to do that, no matter what she tried and then it was too late.
There is only one way to get out of the organization if you don't necessarily want to be hunted forever.
Only one way.
Death.
This was the only way to escape, to be free at last. But what was the point? Most of the time it was of no use because you couldn't go on living, you couldn't build a new life for yourself. It didn't do her any good. And yet she tried.
A long time ago.

"And the poison really kills?" Asked Sharon.
"Yes, it was specially developed for this," said one of the researchers. Shiho was not present at the time because she was free that day. She was allowed to meet her sister again, whom she had not seen in a long time.
"That's good. And how far has it been developed?" Asked the older woman. She no longer felt comfortable in her skin, she had been much too old and also noticed that she didn't get as many men as she had back then. It didn't bother her, but it hurt her because everyone thought she was too old for that.
"We are already quite far. The first poison we got didn't really serve its purpose as we wanted it to.It killed, but there were still small traces of it. Besides, it did not result in immediate death; it did not occur until hours later. However, it should be said that we have never tested the drug on humans, but on laboratory rats, "the researcher interjected. He took out a card file and then read it." And the new drug, it is no longer detectable and kills on the spot. You are in pain, but then it's over. All tests with the laboratory rats had been positive. We won't start testing the APTX 4869 in humans until next week, "he said, looking at Sharon.
"That's good to know. Nice work," the woman nodded.
"May I ask why you want to know?"
"The boss sent me. He wanted a short summary of what happened here. And he's very happy that everything went well," grinned Vermouth. She wore a small camera on her jacket and the boss could overhear the whole conversation and pass on his commands via the small earpiece that the woman had in her ear. But here everything went as it should.
"I'm happy that the boss is at peace with his work. I'll tell Miyano about it," he nodded and went on with his work. There was still a lot to do and he didn't want to waste time unnecessarily, even if she had been here on behalf of the boss.
"Very interesting," muttered Sharon. After the researcher left and stopped paying attention to what the older woman was doing, she turned off the camera and placed it on the table. She now wanted to look around alone and see what she could find here.
By chance she spotted a refrigerator, opened it and the raw version of the APTX fell into her hands.

The version developed by Atsushi and Elena Miyano.
Two brilliant researchers who were in the service of the organization and did everything for it. Until then.
Elena had just come from the hospital with her second daughter and Atsushi informed the boss that he no longer wanted to work for the organization.It upset the boss very much and he didn't want to let go of both scientists. They were far too important to him and he needed them to make his ideas come true.
But they didn't want to take part anymore, they wanted to be free.
Not for yourself.
For your daughter.
But it didn't come to that, the organization wouldn't let anyone get out just because they wanted to. The boss had noticed that the Miyanos no longer worked the way he wished at the beginning. They had to go. Getting done and there was only one way to do it.
He officially allowed the researchers and their children to leave the organization, pretended to understand why they wanted to do it,
