EdogawaConan: What are we even supposed to be guarding anyway?
EdogawaConan: And why do they need ojisan to guard it?
EdogawaConan: Shouldn't they hire a security guard for that?
EdogawaConan: \This is going to be a long night...either it'll be boring or we'll get a case...which will probably mean very little sleep...\
MouriKogoro: *Glares at Conan.* What, you saying I am not good enough for the job, brat? It's that important! Of course they need the great detective Mouri Kogoro!
EdogawaConan: But what could be so important that they need a great detective to guard it? \Unless it's something KID is after...\
EdogawaConan: Why won't they tell you what you're guarding?
MouriKogoro: "How am I supposed to know?! Probably they don't want anyone to know what it is. Which means money~~~"
EdogawaConan: \Of course money. I thought money was why you accepted an inane job like this...\
EdogawaConan: It's just tonight, though, right?
MouriKogoro: *twitches* WOULD YA SHUT UP?!
MouriKogoro: *Mumbles* Stupid annoying brat...
EdogawaConan: But we have school tomorrow....
MouriRan: *sighs, smiling at her dad* But we have a beautiful view from here, don’t you think?
EdogawaConan: *looking at Ran* \Yeah....beautiful....\
MouriKogoro: Kids...
MouriRan: Dad, stop complaining about Conan-kun's questions! He's right. I mean, why won’t they tell you about this... guarding thing...?
MouriKogoro: Finally... We arrived... \Now I can get some peace from the brat\
EdogawaConan: *shakes himself out of his contemplation of Ran and back into Conan* Yay!
MouriKogoro: "Money is money, Ran." He gets out of the car.
* EdogawaConan jumps out of the car, trying to scrounge up some level of excitement
EdogawaConan: So which boat are we supposed to be guarding?
* HondaHitoshi approaches the car from a long metal platform that connects a nearby cargo ship to the harbor.
MouriKogoro: "Eeeh" He looked around. "Ah..." He looks to Honda
HondaHitoshi: Ah, meitantei Mouri Kogoro-sama, you've arrived!
HondaHitoshi: It's good to have you aboard this evening, we're looking forward to your help.
EdogawaConan: Ne, Ran-neechan, are you coming? Or would you rather spend the night in the car? \Might be more comfortable than a cargo ship....but who knows.\
HondaHitoshi: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Honda Hitoshi. We spoke over the phone.
MouriRan: A-- Ah! Sorry! *shakes her head, smiling, and gets off the car slowly, looking at Honda*
MouriKogoro: "Ah. It's good to be here... What boat do we need to be on:"
Description: Honda Hitoshi (38): Shipping Manager
* EdogawaConan moves to stand closer to Ran.
HondaHitoshi: So are these your kids, Mouri-sama?
MouriKogoro: "Ah. Nono" *glares at Conan* "He just lives with us, and" Points to Ran. "This is my daughter."
MouriRan: I'm Mouri Ran. Nice to meet you. *smiles*
* EdogawaConan glares back at Mouri-tantei
EdogawaConan: \Well, at least he didn't introduce me as a freeloader this time...\ I'm Edogawa Conan! *smiles up at Honda-san* Nice to meet you!
HondaHitoshi: I see. Nice to meet the two of you.
HondaHitoshi: Will they be staying, or is your daughter just here to take the car back for the night?
MouriKogoro: "Then we can get to business then."
MouriKogoro: "No, they'll both be staying. She's too young to drive."
HondaHitoshi: Oh. My apologies, then. I'll make sure they have accommodations for the night.
HondaHitoshi: In the mean time, you're right. We should get down to business. I'll show you our cargo.
MouriRan: Just if you don't mind--- We don't want to be a nuisance...
EdogawaConan: \Good, hopefully we won't be stuck sleeping out on deck...\
MouriKogoro: "My apologies."
HondaHitoshi: Don't worry yourself about it.
HondaHitoshi: Anyway, most of our actual crew isn't here tonight.
HondaHitoshi: Tonight it's just the guards, the co-captain, and myself, so there will be plenty of extra room in the crew's quarters.
HondaHitoshi: To be honest, just knowing that you're here makes me confident that nothing will go wrong.
EdogawaConan: Oh...so the ship will be all empty? Wouldn't that make it easier for a thief to get in?
HondaHitoshi: Well, even if the thief got aboard, we're confident that he couldn't get off.
EdogawaConan: Why?
HondaHitoshi: You see, most of the stuff being shipped is actually not very valuable: fish, wood, et cetera. This is to confuse anyone who tried to rob the ship. Only one of the containers on this ship contains the valuable item we want Mouri-sama to protect. Even then, they'd have to get off the ship with the item without being caught.
MouriRan: Valuable item...?
EdogawaConan: Oh, I see! So they'd spend half the night trying to find it, and that'd get them caught, right?
HondaHitoshi: Exactly.
MouriKogoro: "Ooh. Sounds good to me." Grabs a bag and gives it to Conan. "Here, carry this."
EdogawaConan: Wah! *catches the bag, nearly overbalancing as he tries to hold it* \Carry your own stuff, occhan....\
MouriRan: O-- Otou-san! *grabs the bag, angry* Jeez... He's so mean sometimes... Are you OK? *Carries the bag*
EdogawaConan: Ah...I'm OK, Ran-neechan! I can carry it, if you want....
HondaHitoshi: That said, I think we should go to the crew's quarters so we can get settled in for the night.
MouriKogoro: "Right." He follows after Honda
* EdogawaConan follows Ran and occhan.
* HondaHitoshi heads onto the boat, toward the quarters.
* OshimaIchiro glances up at the newcomers and glares distantly, near the bow of the boat, while working on some ropes.
* EdogawaConan gives the glaring guy an odd look, then hurries after Ran...
* HondaHitoshi glances down at Conan, then to the man at the bow.
HondaHitoshi: Oh, don't worry about him. That's just one of our crewmen. His name is Oshima Ichiro, and he's one of the guards.
Description: Oshima Ichiro (45), Guard
EdogawaConan: Oh, is that why he's glaring at everyone? Because he has to be suspicious of everyone in order to be a good guard?
HondaHitoshi: He's been working on boats as a guard for some time, so he's useful because he knows how to do some of the maintenance too.
HondaHitoshi: But yes, you're right. Honestly, he's a nice guy, but he's very suspicious of other people.
HondaHitoshi: Honestly? I wouldn't want to steal anything after a glare from him!
* HondaHitoshi chuckles.
* HondaHitoshi continues to the crew quarters.
* MouriRan laughs and follows them
MouriKogoro: "Uh..." Looks around at the guard and back to Honda.
* HayashiMasaso stops Honda in the hallway as he enters the lower deck.
HayashiMasaso: Honda-san? Who are these people?
HondaHitoshi: This is Mouri-sama, his daughter Mouri-chan, and his guest Edogawa-kun.
HondaHitoshi: For your benefit, Mouri-sama, this is Hayashi Masaso-kun. He's also a guard here.
EdogawaConan: Nice to meet you, Hayashi-san!
Description: Hayashi Masaso (25), Guard
MouriKogoro: "Ah. Nice to meet you.
HayashiMasaso: Ah-- yeah. Nice to meet you too. It's an honor to meet the great Sleeping Kogoro. But I guess you'll be staying awake tonight, ne?
EdogawaConan: \Hopefully...\
MouriKogoro: "Yes, of course! NYAHAHAHAHA!"
HondaHitoshi: Oh, and on that note...
HondaHitoshi: The man behind him is Kawakami Shunsuke, who is the third guard aboard the ship.
Description: Kawakami Shunsuke (31), Guard
* EdogawaConan turns to greet the other guard
EdogawaConan: Nice to meet you, Kawakami-san!
* KawakamiShunsuke nods in acknowledgment.
HondaHitoshi: He's not much of a talker.
MouriKogoro: "Ah huh..."
HondaHitoshi: I'm sure that downstairs we'll find our co-captain. If you don't mind, gentlemen?
* HondaHitoshi passes by the guards on the way downstairs.
* EdogawaConan follows Honda-san
* MouriRan follows them
MouriKogoro: *glares at Conan* \Stupid brat getting in the way.\
MouriKogoro: Follows Honda
HondaHitoshi: We have several rooms down this hallway used for quartering men. As far as cargo ships go, this is actually a pretty small one, and can be crewed by a very small number of me.
MouriRan: This is such a huge boat...
MouriKogoro: "Now... About these important treasures..."
HondaHitoshi: Actually, in theory, this ship could be run by one person alone, assuming there were no engineering difficulties.
HondaHitoshi: Ah, yes?
MouriKogoro: "What is it?"
HondaHitoshi: Ah, Mouri-sama, you should know that I have been sworn to secrecy about the details of this cargo. It is meant to ensure its safety.
EdogawaConan: \Of course....\
MouriKogoro: *grumbles*
MaruyamaKazuhiro: Oi! Honda-san! Is that Mouri-san?
Description: Maruyama Kazuhiro (34), Co-Captain
MouriKogoro: "Ah, you must be the co-pilot."
MaruyamaKazuhiro: Right. I'll be making sure the controls are taken care of tonight.
MaruyamaKazuhiro: Don't worry though, we won't be leaving the shore at all.
EdogawaConan: \Good...Ran and I have school tomorrow....not that I'd mind missing school, but Ran might...\
MouriKogoro: "Ah. I would think we would be off shore to prevent the thief from coming on.
* MouriRan smiles, staring at Maruyama. \So, we're staying here...\
EdogawaConan: \Being off shore didn't stop KID that one time....\
HondaHitoshi: We realize that being at harbor may leave us vulnerable to some thieves, but honestly we consider it unlikely.
HondaHitoshi: Especially considering just who we have escorting us.
MouriKogoro: "Exactly. I, Mouri Kogoro will do my best to protect the treasure! Nyahahaha"
EdogawaConan: \Occhan....\
MouriRan: We will help too. Right, Conan-kun? *smiles*
EdogawaConan: Yeah! *smiles up at Ran*
HondaHitoshi: Well, Maruyama-kun and I need to go discuss the details of tomorrow's voyage. Your two guests are welcome to any of the quarters on this deck. I'd like you and the other guards to begin your patrol at once, however.
MaruyamaKazuhiro: Ah. Yes, Honda-san.
EdogawaConan: Ojisan, can I patrol with you? Please??
HondaHitoshi: If you'd like, Mouri-sama, we could show your young guest here to the control room. I'm sure it would be more interesting than a patrol, and he wouldn't get in your way.
MouriKogoro: *grunts* "Fine. Just don't get in the way, and stay with Ran!"
HondaHitoshi: Not many young children get to see how a cargo boat works.
* HondaHitoshi shrugs.
HondaHitoshi: Suit yourself. We'll be upstairs in the bridge if we're needed.
HondaHitoshi: Good luck, Mouri-sama.
MouriKogoro: "Ah...”
EdogawaConan: Ok....*goes with Ran*
* HondaHitoshi heads upstairs with Maruyama.
* Time passes.
* Time is now 2 AM.
MouriKogoro: *yaaaawns*
MouriRan: *yawns* Conan-kun~ It's ok if you skip school tomorrow?
EdogawaConan: \Wait a sec....where did all the guards go?\
Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3T4pr75Dmg&feature=related
EdogawaConan: *distracted* It's OK, Ran-neechan...I know everything on the test...
MouriKogoro: "Oi, where did they go?" Looks around for people
* MouriKogoro looks around for the guards
* Pirate approaches Kogoro from behind as he sleepily wanders, looking for another guard.
* EdogawaConan decides to go investigate the disappearance of the guards
* Pirate pulls out a handgun.
EdogawaConan: I'll be right back, Ran-neechan! *calls over his shoulder as he leaves*
MouriKogoro: "Uh?" Turns around hearing a small sound
* Pirate presses it up against Kogoro's back.
Pirate: Stay quiet!
* EdogawaConan is looking around above deck, carefully
MouriKogoro: "Oi..." He glares behind him.
Pirate: Alright, you're coming with me.
Pirate: I got Kogoro.
* EdogawaConan sees the pirate and occhan.
Pirate2: Then that's all of them!
* Pirate2 shouts "Hey, that's all of the crew! Get back over here!"
EdogawaConan: \Is that a gun?\ *caught sight of a glint of metal in the dim light* \Oi oi....\
* Pirate3 shouts back, "Yeah! I'll stay up here! I can see everything from up at the bridge!"
EdogawaConan: \Great, there's three of them....I have two balls and the watch....\
Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3tJPgtM--g&feature=related
EdogawaConan: \Better see if I can get occhan loose.....and I can't let them get near Ran....\
Pirate2: Hold on... you're not just some schmuck guard!
Pirate2: This is Mouri Kogoro, that detective!
MouriKogoro: "Yeah, I am." He smirks.
Pirate: Yeah. So just keep an extra eye on him. He didn't even notice that the boat started moving. He must be really sleep deprived.
Pirate2: Are we out of view yet?
Pirate: We should be.
MouriKogoro: \It left dock.\ His eyes narrowed
EdogawaConan: \MOVING?? Since when?? Kuso.....\
* Pirate2 drags Kogoro to the other guards and ties him up before pushing him down next to the others.
Pirate: Not such a great detective now.
EdogawaConan: \Maybe I can get them loose....\ *starts sneaking over to where the crew and Kogoro are being kept*
MouriKogoro: "You will be caught. No plan is perfect!"
Pirate: Hey wait.
Pirate: Weren't there supposed to be two civilians on this boat too?
Pirate2: Not that I heard of.
Pirate: No, we have new information.
EdogawaConan: \Kuso....Ran....\
Pirate2: Right. I'll take care of it.
MouriKogoro: \Ran!\
Pirate: Remember the plan.
Pirate2: Yeah. Be back in two minutes so you don't have to start executing hostages.
Pirate2: I'll take care of it.
MouriKogoro: \Oioi....\ His eyes are wide and glaring
Pirate: Just a kid and a girl. Won't be a problem.
* EdogawaConan hides
Pirate2: Right. In the mean time, you figure out where the stuff is stashed.
* MouriRan hugs her pillow, asleep
* Pirate2 heads down stairs.
* Pirate2 slides open doors until he comes to Ran's room.
* MouriKogoro struggles against the ropes.
* EdogawaConan sneaks closer to the hostages
* Pirate2 puts the gun up against Ran's cheek and says, "Wake up, girl. And don't try to be cute."
* MouriRan breaths slowly, still asleep
Pirate2: grows frustrated.
* Pirate2 pulls out a rope and ties her hands while she's asleep.
* Pirate2 puts the gun against her back and starts shaking her.
Pirate2: Wake up already!
Pirate2: Comon, I have a deadline!
Pirate2: Hah... deadline...
* EdogawaConan sneaks up to the hostages and starts trying to loosen the knots on the ropes holding them.
Pirate: HEY! Who's that?!
* Pirate points the gun at Conan.
MouriKogoro: "Oi, brat." He says quietly.
* EdogawaConan immediately stops what he's doing
Pirate: Hey! Come out and put your hands on your head!
* MouriRan makes a soft noise, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the rope around her hands
Pirate: This isn't a game little kid!
* EdogawaConan puts his hands on his head and wanders over
Pirate2: That's it! I'm not letting hostages die so you can get beauty sleep.
EdogawaConan: Hai, oniisan...
* Pirate2 jerks her out of bed by the tied hands and holds the gun to her back.
Pirate: Where is he...?
Pirate: He should be here by now...
Pirate: He needs to get back up here...
EdogawaConan: \He who?\
MouriKogoro: "Leave the kid alone!"
* Pirate2 drags her along the metal hallway by the tied hands, gun pointed at her.
Pirate: This isn't a game!
Pirate: We're not playing around here!
Pirate: Where's the treasure?
MouriKogoro: "Who knows...” He looks to the side
* Pirate2 slowly emerges from the lower decks, dragging Ran up the metal stairs.
EdogawaConan: I dunno. *puts on his best "I'm a little kid look."* They don't tell me anything.
MouriKogoro: \Ran!\
Pirate2: I'm here! Don't shoot anybody!
EdogawaConan: \Ran!\
Pirate: About time!
EdogawaConan: \Kuso....now what?\
* Pirate3 shouts, "The manager isn't talking! What should we do?"
* Pirate2 shouts, "We've got all night now that we're out of the harbor!"
* Pirate2 drops off Ran by the other hostages.
Pirate: I'll tie up the kid.
Pirate2: Be careful. Kids are slippery.
Pirate: Oh shut up.
* Pirate points the gun at Conan.
Pirate: Get over here so I can tie your hands.
* EdogawaConan walks over slowly, still trying to think his way out of this
* Pirate ties his hands behind his back at the wrists, tightly.
EdogawaConan: Ow...oniisan, that hurts....*little kid complaining*
Pirate2: Shut up.
EdogawaConan: But it hurts!
Pirate: Hey, is there anyone else on board?
* EdogawaConan manages to ensure that he can still activate the stun-watch even with his hands tied.
* Pirate watches the three guards.
Pirate: Looks like we're in the clear.
Pirate: I'm going to have a look around. You watch the hostages.
Pirate2: Sit down, kid.
Pirate2: Hurry back, partner.
* EdogawaConan plonks down next to Kogoro and Ran
Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU6IRp792_U&feature=related
* MouriRan groans softly, asleep
MouriKogoro: "Ran... Ran!" He harshly whispered
* EdogawaConan leans to try and poke Ran awake
EdogawaConan: \Ran...why do you have to be so impossible to wake up?\ *keeps poking her*
EdogawaConan: \Never mind...maybe she'll sleep through the whole mess and not be bothered by it....\ *scootches over to try and reach the knots tying Kogoro*
* Pirate2 turns around suddenly, looking at the hostages.
Pirate2: Hey you!
Pirate2: Stop that!
EdogawaConan: Wh-what? I was just trying to get more comfortable....*little kid hurt look*
Pirate2: I know what you were doing!
EdogawaConan: But the ropes are really tight...it hurts....*near-tears ouchie look*
* Pirate2 grumbles.
* MouriKogoro carefully tries to untie himself
Pirate: Trading off. You go look now.
Pirate2: Yeah, yeah. Keep an eye on the kid, he was screwin' around.
Pirate: Right.
* Pirate2 heads off to check crates.
* MouriKogoro gets frustrated because he can't get the ropes untied by himself
MouriKogoro: \Damn it. That brat is going to have to untie me.\
EdogawaConan: \One of these guards is the pirates' buddy...and now I know which one...\
