[4th Wall Day]

[modernholmes]

It's strange isn't it?  That so many people would suddenly be here?  I wonder what the reason could be?

[He wanted to be out there investigating.  There was a possibility this had something to do with how the scientists were able to transport people here.

But... Ran had been very insistent about his promise to stay in bed until his injuries healed.  She would not be happy if he left.

If she caught him.

Casting a wary glance at the door, he carefully throws back the covers and slides out of bed.  He winces slightly as he puts weight on his bad ankle, bu quickly leans against the wall and hobbles over to the window.

Time to get out of here.].

But she will grieve for me as well.

For several months. She vanished a week ago. Sent home, most likely.

[His sentences come out short and clipped.]

That is true. But it won't bring her down forever.

I see. I can understand how Mouri-san must be upset, but she is safer there.

[Shiho tries to guide him to the bathroom. She does NOT want to see anything when he changes back.]

She's strong. Much stronger than she thinks she is.

[Ahaha, no argument there. He moves over to the bathroom as fast as he can move.]

[She just. Picks you up and puts you in the bathroom. They'll continue this conversation later.

Would you be okay with skipping ahead an hour?]

[An hour later he'll step out of the bathroom wearing some of Hattori's spare clothes.]

[She gives him a light smile.] Welcome back, Kudou-kun.

[He gives her a half-smile back.]

It feels good to be back.

[What was this feeling she had.....not accomplishment. More like a sense of completion. It made her feel relieved inside.]

I figured you would be. Now then, I believe the first thing you'll want to do is go find Mouri-san.

[Read: GO TELL HER WHAT YOU WANT TO TELL HER RIGHT NOW.]

...Thanks for everything, Shiho. And you're right.

[And with that he's running outside the room, heading for Ran. But knowing him, who knows how many detours will happen on the way.]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of help.

[She watches him go, betting on the possibility that he'll run into a murder or five.]
