Shinichi and Kaito were both gone, gone the same day even. They'd either given in or been taken by Landel or that monster, and now he was on his own. And the only thing that kept rolling around in his head was: 'I never told them why.He'd never admit to anyone that when he'd first found out, he'd cried and beat the walls and torn his sheet in half. The rest of the staff was probably too busy with whatever hell was going on outside of his room, so no one came. And he hoped no one would, because he couldn't promise he wouldn't knock the jaw off of whatever thing came through his door next. But this morning, the initial screaming rage had worn off, and now he was just simmering. Waiting for an excuse to boil over. He almost got it when some damn soldier came into his room instead of a nurse--good, an explanation for why he was dressed like a policeman. He stood up when they came into ( ... )

The Secret of Landel Island
Featuring Spiffy as the dog in the bar . . .As the credit roll played in the back of his half-awake head, Scott groaned. If "winning" meant having punched Guybrush in the face repeatedly, including once with a couch, he was pretty sure he didn't want to have won. And yet he had, apprently. It was only some kind of miracle that had prevented him from "winning" against anyone else last night. Those poor guys he had chased off. Oh god. Scott almost cursed Landel's name before he realized that he had forgotten what name he was actually supposed to be cursing now ( ... )

Just as he was resigning himself to his scrubbity fate, however, the officer added, "Those who have participated in yesterday's insubordination, however, do not get to help."
Scott's head snapped up. "Wait, what?"
The first thought that came to Scott's head was from his slacker brain: Score! I don't have to do woooork! I don't have to do woooork!
It wasn't long, however, before the more decent part of him took back the reins of control and forced him to be properly horrified at the implications of that. Everyone was going to be looking at him now. Everyone. They were going to be scrubbing their asses off and shooting him death glares and knowing exactly who to lynch come this nightshift. Why is my suffering never enough for you people ( ... )

"Look," Heiji said sharply--he wasn't in the best of moods, for obvious reasons. He tossed the brush back into the bucket. "You guys wanna start a riot when I'm asleep, fine. If Frau McBotox wants t'make th'people who tried t'stay outta it clean and try t'divide us, whatever. But don' stand there n' tell me you'd switch places with me n' sound all regretful, 'cause there's somethin' bigger goin' on than jus' scrubbin' this place spotless while y'guys watch."
Heiji stood up with the bucket, looking at the other young man. He looked familiar, but Heiji was more drawn to his hat. There was a pin on it--was there one on his own? He really hadn't checked.
"If anythin'," he said, carting the bucket over to exchange it for a clean one. His had turned sort of brown-purple. "I'm livid that one day ( ... )

"Geez, you try to be a little sympathetic...!" Scott grumbled a bit to himself, lifting his hands at his sides in frustrated defeat. He was about to complain about the stupid nickname when what the guy was actually saying hit him. More disappearances. Now that the military was in, was that going to mean more or fewer of those? Scott hadn't really thought about that. More, I guess. These guys aren't fooling around. They're gonna be more strict about who goes and who stays, he thought, a small lump forming in his throat. He shot a quick glance across the crowd to where Peter was scrubbing with some blonde chick. He and a few other people he recognized were still around, it looked like. Was there anyone missing, though ( ... )

Heiji's fingers tightened around the scrub brush until they went into the bristles, but he didn't shout what he wanted to. It wasn't this guy's fault, it wasn't any prisoner's fault. And screaming, as much as he'd love to indulge in it, wouldn't bring either of them back or make him feel any better later on. So as much as Heiji wanted to play the 'My Pain Is Worse Than Yours Game', he held it in.
"Yeah, maybe y'did," he said quietly after taking a deep breath and letting it out. "Kuroba Kaito and Kudou Shinichi. Went by Kyle Crowe and Jimmy Doyle here."

"Whoa, wait, Shin's gone?" Scott said with alarm, forgetting for the moment that Shinichi would have reminded him not to call him that had he been around. Now he knew why this Hattery or Hat-torrent or whatever his name was looked familiar: he was sure he had seen the guy sitting with Shinichi at least once or twice in passing. He had never gotten the guy's name before, but yeah, there was the connection ( ... )

"The guy’s name is Scott Pilgrim. I… you wouldn’t believe this, Hattori, but I literally ran into him."
That was where he'd heard it before. This guy was one of three people who knew Shinichi's secret.
“He seemed like an okay guy, but he’s not the person I’m all right with knowing about Conan. He was as freaked out about it as I was, and I seriously doubt he’s part of the Black Organization, but I’m not sure I can trust him completely.”
"Yeah, Shin's gone," Heiji said, standing up and tossing the brush back in the bucket. If Scott thought Heiji had looked mad before, he could probably see the flames coming off the Osakan right now. "Hattori Heiji, firs' person t'put th'pieces t'gether'n figure out he 'n Conan were th'same person. He told me you were th'third ( ... )

"What?! Whoa, hey, no! Hey! Listen!" he squeaked, backing up into a table with his hands in the air. "I'm freaking out about this too, okay?! I didn't know he was gone, and I didn't do or say anything that might have made him disappear!"
He paused. Then a stinging chill scurried up his back.
".............Nothing that would have gotten traced back to him, anyway?"
Oh god. He had told someone about Shinichi's little secret. Shinichi's name had never been mentioned, but Scott had blabbed to Not-A-Trademark-Of-LucasArts Sam about seeing someone turn into a seven-year-old. That hadn't come back to bite the detective in the ass later, had it? Even with his name removed? No, no ( ... )
