Thirteenth Deduction [Voice] Backdated to Friday night

[modernholmes]

[So... he was back to being Conan again. These brief, brief times when he could be himself. When he could speak with his own voice and answer to his own name. They never lasted long enough. Not for everything he wanted to do. But for now all he could do was keep up the facade.]

Hello? Does anyone know what happened? I think I'm a little confused.

[None of this is making him any less suspicious.]

And why did he ask that? Who is Flora?

F-Flora is my f-friend from home...

[The longer he relays this story, the less comfortable he feels about the whole situation.]

I t-think he wants to tell her h-himself. I just...

I d-don't know if I sh-should believe him or n-not! And I c-can't leave F-Flora alone if he's lying..

Have you thought about getting help?

[Video] sorry -_-

[luke-triton.livejournal.com]

W-with not t-trusting him?

[No, I can do that fine on my own.]

I'm n-not sure how anyone c-could help, anyway.

No, with watching him. With gathering evidence and figuring out what he is trying to do.

[Luke blinks, mostly because he hadn't expected someone to offer help. But Conan--Conan would be able to help. And the Professor would tell him he ought to trust Clive, right? So it was better to seek outside assistance.]

Th-that would be g-good.

W...would you h-help?

Of course. I'm a detective, after all.

[And this was exactly the kind of thing that no real kid should be trying to do on their own. As long as he was helping he could make sure that Luke wouldn't get into anything dangerous.]

[Don't underestimate Luke's ability to get himself into trouble.]

We s-should start s-soon. Just...j-just in case he doesn't k-keep his promise..

[At this rate Conan will be getting pulled into all of it.,/i>]

In that case I want you to tell me as much as you know about him. Then we'll see about starting surveillance.

[Video] Sorry sorry -_-

H-he's a l-liar and he l-looks like m-me.

[Obviously, he could say more than this but he can't quite wrap his head around where to start telling Conan everything he knew about Clive.]

T-to say e-everything would t-take a l-long time.
