Vodka: Last time, on Detective Conan...
Vodka: I rolled out of bed late. I didn't really have anything to do in particular today.
Vodka: I stopped by the shooting range, saw Korn practicing. I think he's self-conscious about Chianti's skill.
Vodka: Notice Aniki and Vermouth are gone today. Wonder where they are.
Gin: Also, I was putting my plan into action...
Gin: It seems I caught that tantei in my web. He couldn't have escaped, though Vermouth thinks otherwise.
Gin: Even now I zero my scope in on Sherry.
Gin: Time to finish the job.
Gin: Find out how I achieve my ultimate victory, this time, on Detective Conan.

Gin: {Cue Scene}
{Outside the now-burning building}
* Gin zeroes his scope.
* Gin looks through.
* HaibaraAi stares at the burning building, unaware of what's about to happen.
* Vermouth starts walking fast, heading to the building
* Gin blinks and pulls back the gun.
Gin: What...?
* Gin breaks back into a huge grin.
Gin: It all makes sense now...
* Gin puts his eye back up to his scope.
Gin: I won't make the same mistake I made last time, Sherry.
* Vermouth stares at Gin for a second, and keeps walking. \I won’t let our silver bullet die!\
{Meanwhile: Inside the burning building}
* Building is on fire.
* EdogawaConan is stuck under fallen walls, which fortunately protected him from the blast, but are now trapping him in the burning building.
EdogawaConan: \Kuso....these are heavy!\
EdogawaConan: *starts trying to push the wall-pieces off of himself* \They didn't have her....at least not here....is she OK?\
* Building grumbles softly as the fire continues to rage. The wall pieces budge somewhat, but your leverage is poor. You should be able to squeeze out if you can keep it up...
EdogawaConan: \Kuso...this is going to take too long....where's the badge?\ *pulls out the badge and pushes the call button* \C'mon, someone pick up....Haibara? Ayumi-chan?\
* Building blocks out most of the reception. It only gets through to Haibara, and even then it's crackly.
* HaibaraAi suddenly hears static through her badge
HaibaraAi: \Could it be?\
HaibaraAi: Kudou-kun?!
EdogawaConan: *badge* Haibara? Ayumi-chan? Hakase?
EdogawaConan: *badge* Haibara! Can you hear me?
* Gin remarks coldly, without looking up from his scope, "You'd better not leave this rooftop, Vermouth. I know what you're planning. That's cheating."
EdogawaConan: *badge* I got stuck...
HaibaraAi: *suddenly calms down* Kudou-kun! You're alive? Where are you?
* ProfessorAgasa leans down to listen.
ProfessorAgasa: Shinichi-kun, where are you?
Gin: Damn. He's blocking Sherry...
EdogawaConan: *badge* Second floor of the building...toward the back. One spot didn't explode, but the walls fell on top of me....
Vermouth: Cheating, huh? *walks to Gin*
EdogawaConan: *badge* I might be able to get out...but the rest of the building is on fire, and it'll take too long to get out on my own....
* HaibaraAi only heard second floor and wall from static
Vermouth: I just wanted to see that traitor's dead face... From here, I won’t be able to enjoy it... *with a seductive voice*
HaibaraAi: We have to help him...
ProfessorAgasa: Shinichi-kun, the fire department is on its way. Can you make it out on your own?
Gin: Do you think I would be any use at all to Anokata if I fell for your little games, Vermouth? You should be happy. Or do you not believe in the success of our organization?
EdogawaConan: *badge* The walls fell on top of me, and there aren't any windows near me...
* EdogawaConan is still trying to push at the walls as he talks over the badge.
ProfessorAgasa: *to Ai* Do you think we should go try to find him?
EdogawaConan: *badge* The walls are heavy!
Vermouth: *laughs, lighting up a cigarette* You're such an unpredictable man... \No, Gin... Silver bullet will put an end to our organization.\
EdogawaConan: *badge* And even when I do get out, I'm still stuck on the second floor!
* HaibaraAi sees more fire come out of the windows.
HaibaraAi: I don't think he'll make it out on his own in time…
HaibaraAi: Hakase, wait for the fire trucks...
ProfessorAgasa: Alright, but wait...
* HaibaraAi starts to run up to the building
* Gin traces her path.
ProfessorAgasa: Ai-kun!
* EdogawaConan continues pushing at the walls, cursing mentally. Finally, they give enough for him to crawl out.
HaibaraAi: \I can't let them win...even if I die, Kudou-kun has to stay alive to bring them down...\
* HaibaraAi runs into the building, narrowly missing falling debris.
* Gin aims just above Sherry, planning to shoot her as she enters.
* Gin pulls the trigger, firing off a shot. The glass causes the bullet to change trajectory and velocity slightly, missing Ai by inches as fire and debris falls around her.
Gin: Damn!
* Gin pulls back from the ledge.
* EdogawaConan is now free of the walls that protected him from the blast, and carefully working his way through the second floor, trying to find a safe path out.
Vermouth: Gin... From the beginning, you knew this was going to end like this... *stares at him with a serious look* A sniper job.
EdogawaConan: *badge* Haibara? I'm out of the walls....
* Gin grits his teeth and stares at Vermouth.
Vermouth: I think you know what I'm talking about. Why you, Gin...?
Vermouth: Chianti, Korn...?
HaibaraAi: *badge* Where are you? I'm in the building...
Gin: You're right, for once, Vermouth.
EdogawaConan: *badge* WHAT??? WHY??? GET OUT!!
Gin: I'm intelligent enough to know when I've erred. I should have brought Chianti to take the shot.
EdogawaConan: *badge* What kind of an idiot runs into a building that just exploded without any sort of protective gear???
EdogawaConan: *badge* Call Ayumi again, see if she's found Ran!!
HaibaraAi: *badge* I'm not leaving you here!
HaibaraAi: I didn't get a chance to tell you before
Gin: They're trapped in the fire. The fire department won't come. They're done for.
HaibaraAi: But They're here!
Vermouth: *sighs* But you want to do the job by yourself...
HaibaraAi: The Black Organization. I sensed them, and I know this was meant to kill you!
Gin: I see what you're getting at.
HaibaraAi: They planned this for you and only you, so you're going to need help
Gin: You're perceptive as always. Perhaps you're right. I always planned to be the one to end her, just like I always wanted to be the one to kill that traitorous
EdogawaConan: *badge* No....They were planning to trap you as well.
EdogawaConan: *badge* That's why they used a chemistry-based code....
* HaibaraAi gives a small smile to the badge even though she knows he can't see it.
Vermouth: But right now, your personal issues with traitors just... made you miss. Chianti would have killed her by now. *smiles*
EdogawaConan: *badge* Haibara? Where's Ran? Is she OK?
* Gin growls at Vermouth.
HaibaraAi: I know...which is why I came, to make sure that at least you'll get out.
Gin: Fine. If you're so doubtful of my abilities, I'll take care of it right now. I'll make sure this ends.
* Gin tosses the rifle at Vermouth.
Gin: Don't lose that.
HaibaraAi: Don't worry about her, she's fine...for now. You need to get back to her, ne?
Vermouth: *laughs* You get mad so easily.
* Gin lights a cigarette and bites it.
Gin: I'm dedicated to my job. Unlike others I could name.
* Gin heads for the stairs.
* Vermouth smiles and stares at the rifle
* HaibaraAi hears more debris about to fall.
* Vermouth looks through the scope
EdogawaConan: *badge* Where is she? What about Ayumi?...Kuso, stupid...*climbing over a bit of wall in his path*
HaibaraAi: *to badge* So get moving! *puts the badge in her pocket*
* HaibaraAi starts making her way through the lobby and up the stairs, making sure there's a way out from there.
* EdogawaConan continues cursing under his breath as he makes his way through the ruins of the maze-room.
* Gin kicks open the lobby door, cocking his pistol at the same time. He appears unphased by the falling ash, smoke, and fire.
* HaibaraAi finally gets to the second floor hallway and starts glancing through the rooms, shouting Kudou's name.
* Gin calmly works his way up the stairs, putting deliberate force behind each step.
* HaibaraAi slowly starts to calm down, remembering panicking won't solve anything, it's not like her...
* HaibaraAi is too distracted to sense Gin coming up the stairs.
* Gin reaches the top of the stairs.
* EdogawaConan manages to make it out of the maze-mess room and back to the hall, which isn't nearly as badly damaged.
Gin: Well, well, well. It looks like everyone's here.
* Gin chuckles.
* EdogawaConan's eyes go wide as he spots Gin.
EdogawaConan: \Kuso.....not again....now what?\
* Gin has smoke, shadows, and flame bellowing up behind him.
Gin: I really should thank you, Kudou Shinichi-kun.
* Gin advances a few feet forward.
* EdogawaConan panics and looks for a way out.
Gin: Without your help, how would I have ever found Sherry?
EdogawaConan: So the trap was meant for her.
EdogawaConan: And you never had anyone else at all, did you?
* EdogawaConan looks for a hiding place.
* Gin offers a hollow cackle.
Gin: It was unnecessary.
Gin: Well, Sherry. I guess it's clear how you escaped your death sentence.
Gin: I won't make the same mistake.
* HaibaraAi is terrified as she feels Gin behind her.
* Building rumbles.
HaibaraAi: Yeah? *trying to keep a strong front, surely Kudou-kun has a plan.* \It's safer to run, Kudou-kun!\
EdogawaConan: \At least Ran's safe....\ *still looking for a way out*
Gin: You're too late to escape, tantei. The other four doors are locked, and the authorities aren't coming.
Gin: I'm going to enjoy this.
* Gin levels his gun with Haibara.
HaibaraAi: Kudou-kun, just go already. It's me he wants anyway. *sad smile* At least this can stop...
EdogawaConan: \Yeah right.....\ *grabs her arm and pulls her with him into another room, darting toward the blown-out windows*
* Gin fires off two shots, missing both times.
Vermouth: W-- what?! *zeroes her scope*
* HaibaraAi is shocked by Kudou's move.
HaibaraAi: He'll just shoot us anyway!
* Gin steps around to the door, noting that the desks are a mess and blocking the way to the window. There is also a wall of fire preventing exit in that direction.
Vermouth: Two shots---
* Gin aims at Conan.
HaibaraAi: Leave him out of this! *stands in front of Kudou* It's me you want, right? *glares*
EdogawaConan: \Kuso....\ *ducks around one of the desks, still pulling Haibara with him*
* Gin fires off another shot, clipping Ai.
Gin: I can enjoy a game of hide and seek.
HaibaraAi: Un! *she grips her arm.*
* Gin gives a mad laugh.
* EdogawaConan tugs Haibara along behind more desks, trying to find a way out
Gin: The wonderful thing about desks...
Gin: Is that they aren't bulletproof.
* Gin starts firing through desks.
* Building groans.
* Building rumbles deeply, sending down a new storm of fire, debris, and dust.
HaibaraAi: Just get out of here by yourself. I don't matter…
* Gin loads a new clip.
* EdogawaConan is trying to find a weak spot in the floor....
EdogawaConan: I'm not going to just leave you behind, Haibara....*distractedly, still looking for a way out and dragging her along*
EdogawaConan: Like the bus.
HaibaraAi: Right, I can't run away. But you still have someone to go back to. I don't have anyone. They are all dead.
HaibaraAi: Parents, siblings... and you have someone you love. My life is meaningless at this point.
* Building fires another shot through the desk, this time, right between them.
* HaibaraAi jolts back.
* EdogawaConan curses and yanks Haibara along farther, still looking for a weak point in the floor.
EdogawaConan: What about Ayumi-chan? Mitsuhiko-kun? Hakase?
* HaibaraAi looks down and her bangs cover her eyes.
HaibaraAi: Yeah, Yoshida-san would be quite sad, wouldn't she?
EdogawaConan: They all would be...You might not have blood family anymore...
* EdogawaConan locates a place near where one of the bombs exploded that seems weaker.
EdogawaConan: Here. We'll get down this way. *whispered to Haibara*
* HaibaraAi nods
* EdogawaConan uses his shoes to kick at the weak spot, making a hole in the floor just big enough for them to fall through.
* Building rumbles and collapses far more than they expected, causing a whole section of the floor to fall out.
* Building covers their descent with smoke, dust, and ash.
HaibaraAi: Uwa! *falls and tries to land correctly*
Gin: Damn!
* Gin charges to the ledge and fires rapidly into the smoking crater.
* Gin squints, but hears sirens in the distance.
EdogawaConan: *falls, manages to roll as he lands, and stands up coughing, just outside of the fallen part of the floor*
EdogawaConan: Haibara?
HaibaraAi: *coughs* Right here, Kudou-kun. *feels for him*
* Building rumbles heavily as the smoke begins to clear.
EdogawaConan: Let's go...*grabs her arm again and pulls her with him toward the door*
* Gin points his gun directly at Haibara's head and fires.
* Gin is out of ammo.
Gin: Damn!
* Gin offers another glare before turning and heading for the back alley exit.
* EdogawaConan starts yelling for Hakase as they clear the door.
EdogawaConan: Hakase!
EdogawaConan: *cough cough* Hakase!
HaibaraAi: Hakase...
ProfessorAgasa: Shinichi-kun! Ai-kun! You're safe!
HaibaraAi: Barely. *takes deep breaths looking up at the building*
* Vermouth looks through the scope
HaibaraAi: We should get out of here, there's no way he came alone.
EdogawaConan: And something like that mess probably won't stop him either.
EdogawaConan: And Haibara needs medical attention.
* EdogawaConan indicates Haibara's injured arm.
HaibaraAi: Oh, this...*she looks at her arm, forgetting she got shot*
* ProfessorAgasa nods.
EdogawaConan: Yes, that....you're bleeding all over! *moves to put pressure on it in an attempt to stop the bleeding*
ProfessorAgasa: We go to the hospital immediately then.
EdogawaConan: Good idea...
* ProfessorAgasa points to the car.
* HaibaraAi slightly winces
* EdogawaConan drags Haibara back toward the car.
ProfessorAgasa: Hurry. If the police see us, they'll want to stop us for questioning.
HaibaraAi: \I'm foolish, aren't I?\
HaibaraAi: Yeah...
EdogawaConan: Did Ayumi-chan ever call back?
Vermouth: ... Damn... Move, Cool Guy!
EdogawaConan: They didn't really have Ran...
* Vermouth zeroes her scope
Vermouth: If I shoot and I miss, they'll escape...
* EdogawaConan hurries into the car, shoving Haibara ahead of himself.
Vermouth: bye bye~ Sherry~ *shoots, but misses*
Vermouth: What?!---
* HaibaraAi hears the gunshot.
* ProfessorAgasa hits the gas, back window of his window now shattered.
HaibaraAi: ...
HaibaraAi: Step on it, Hakase!
* Vermouth bites her lower lip
Vermouth: Damn!
* EdogawaConan pulls out his phone with one hand, the other keeping pressure on Haibara's wound.
HaibaraAi: I haven't spoken to Yoshida-san since she went to check on Ran-san...
* Vermouth grabs her cell phone and calls Gin. \I have to escape... Cool Guy will certainly know where I am hiding because I shot... And he'll tell the police about a sniper.\
* HaibaraAi glances over her shoulder looking for anymore danger
* EdogawaConan curses softly, realizing the soaked phone won't work.
EdogawaConan: Call her again...
EdogawaConan: I have to be sure that Ran's safe....
HaibaraAi: Of course. *she smirks dialing Ayumi's cell*
Ayumi: *answering cell phone* Ayumi desu! *^_^*
Ayumi: *to background* Sorry, Ran-oneesan....
HaibaraAi: Yoshida-san. I was checking on things.
Ayumi: *to phone* Ran-oneesan is fine! *quietly, trying not to be heard by anyone near her*
* HaibaraAi she gives a nod to Conan
* MouriRan smiles at Ayumi and gets into the kitchen, leaving her alone
Ayumi: *phone* Ayumi had to come up with an excuse for showing up suddenly when nothing had happened over here...so Ran-oneesan is teaching Ayumi to make cookies! *^_^*
HaibaraAi: Good. Kudou-kun is very happy to hear that
Ayumi: *phone* We'll bring some over to Hakase's when we're done....are you and Oniisan OK? What happened?
Ayumi: *phone* Wait....tell me later....probably better if Ran-oneesan doesn't hear...~_~*
* EdogawaConan sighs with relief.
MouriRan: Is something wrong, Ayumi-chan?
EdogawaConan: \Thank heavens...\
HaibaraAi: Right. See ya.
* HaibaraAi hangs up phone
