Well—this is just another continuation of my fanfic Night to Remember and Trip to Okinawa. I guess you can say that I made it a trilogy. (I just can't seem to stop can I? Anyway, I'll stop blabbing so you can read). Hope you like it!

Breaking Up?!

Chapter 1

Shinichi was hiding behind a tree, which is located near an old, abandoned and almost dilapidated house. Officer Sato, Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori who were hiding in another place near him accompanied him. When Shiratori gave the okay sign, the whole group went nearer to the warehouse; still observing carefulness of not being seen. They went in one by one while holding their guns to get ready to shoot just in case the enemy gets seen.

Sato suggested that they should split up in order for their search to be faster. Takagi and Shiratori were grouped together and Sato was grouped with Shinichi. They parted ways to begin their search. Takagi and Shiratori went to look around the upper floors while Shinichi and Sato searched the remaining floors. They first went to the basement and found some weaponry only. No people. Next, they went to the first floor and found people who seemed to be the guards and knocked them out. By the time they were still searching the rest of the first floor, Takagi talked to them using the talkie.

"We found the hostages here in the third floor." Takagi informed.

"We'll get there as soon as we can." Sato replied.

Shinichi and Sato hastily ran up and found Shiratori waiting for them by the stairs. He led them to the room where the hostages were, still taking precaution about not being seen.

When the entered the room, the hostages were still tied up. There were no sharp objects in the room whatsoever. Sato had this portable knife in her pocket, which they used to free them.

"Um—guys? Where's Ran?" Shinichi asked, looking around the room.

"Ran—was—Ran was—umm…" Sonoko replied, trying to get the right words to say. "She was—umm…"

"She was taken by one of the kidnappers just about three minutes ago." Came Eri's voice. She sounded pretty calm about it too. It was as if Ran wasn't her daughter at all.

"Do you have any idea where they took her to?" Shinichi asked as soon as the Eri's sentence was finished.

"How the heck are we supposed to know?" Sonoko replied.

"So I guess that means we still have to find her." Takagi said.

"Well thanks for stating the obvious Takagi-kun." Sato added.

The group darted out of the room right after Shinichi. They had no idea where he was going. Nor did he know where he himself was going. But he had the idea that they took her somewhere they haven't gone to when they had entered this house. Somewhere not noticeable, somewhere like—

"A secret passage?" Shinichi said to himself, not paying heed to the people behind him. "That's sneaky. A secret passage under the mat."

"Whoa! Cool! A secret passage!!" Sonoko shouted in excitement.

"Shh!! Quiet! If the criminals hear you we'll be dead for sure." Sato explained. "Hey! Kudo! Open it already. You'll never know what they're doing to her right this moment."

Shinichi just nodded and opened the trap door. There were stairs leading to somewhere. Shiratori and Takagi turned on their flashlights and went in with the rest.

"Say Kudo—what if Ran isn't here? Where are we going to look for her?" Takagi asked.

"Don't think about that for now! Let's just pray and hope that she is here understood? Just don't be pessimistic." Sato shouted stridently.

"We should be quiet as well so they won't know we're coming." Eri suggested.

"Oh yeah. Sorry about that." Sato replied.

They kept walking in the dark tunnel and it seemed to have no end to it. There weren't any lights there too. When they were in the verge of giving up, they heard a scream. A scream, which was familiar to all.

"Let's hurry!" Shinichi said, running at a great pace.

"Darn it Kudo! Wait for us!" Takagi said, running after him followed by Shiratori.

"You guys go ahead. We'll wait here." Sato suggested, cocking her gun.

The two officers just nodded in response and they followed Shinichi. He was standing by the door, ready to break it down and shoot. Once he noticed those two chasing after him, he nodded to say to them that it was okay to break down the door already. But Shiratori just shook his head to tell him to wait. If only Shinichi can wait at a time like this. They heard more screams in between sobs after that like 'Get off me! Get off me!' 'Don't you dare do that!' and 'Stop it! Please stop it!'

Shinichi couldn't handle it anymore and told his comrades. They felt sorry for Ran as well. So they broke down the door, ran inside and looked around for Ran. And it wasn't a difficult task, Shinichi pointed his gun at the guy who was on top of her and shot him at the side. That made him fall down the bed too.

Ran was continuing to cry while she was holding her blouse that had two buttons open. Shinichi sighed and held her tightly in his arms, wiping her tears away and comforting her telling her that it was all right; that they were here already.

"Um—Kudo? I don't think he's the only one here." Takagi informed.

"What?" Shinichi's eyes became wide and he started to look around the room.

"I don't see anyone else Takagi. Only this guy whom I handcuffed." Shiratori replied.

"Shh! Shh! Takagi's right. There are some more people hiding here." Shinichi whispered. Ran buried her face in Shinichi's chest, rested her hands onto his shoulders and cried some more. Of course, Shinichi tried to comfort her again but he was more concentrated on the allies of the criminal. He slowly stood up, letting go of Ran and soon enough he was followed along with the others.

"We have to get out of here—and fast." Shiratori stated.

"I agree." Shinichi answered, taking Ran's hand after cocking his pistol.

"But—won't that provoke them even more?" Takagi asked.

"So you're saying that we should just stay here and wait to be shot at?" Shiratori answered, quite irritated.

Takagi's gulp was heard without difficulty throughout the room. In response he just shook his head and was walking very slowly to the door. "I can't believe we didn't find the allies of this man." He said, looking at the handcuffed guy who was being held on to by Shiratori. Right at the moment when he was about to leave the room he was shot at the side as well.

"Looks like you got what you wanted." Shinichi said, shooting his gun at the place where the bullet came from. He pushed Ran to go outside along with Takagi while him and Shiratori were fighting against the allies. Of course, while they were shooting they were also heading towards the door. Shinichi was already kneeling down when he got near the doorway. All he had to do was roll over and he was out! But unfortunately, a bullet hit him on his shoulder. Luckily he was still able to get out of the room.

Outside, Takagi and Ran were already heading towards the group of Officer Sato. She was running towards the injured officer when a gunshot followed by a scream was heard. Their attention was diverted to the two remaining girls and they all ran towards there.

"Mom!!" Ran shouted. She ran towards her injured mother but Officer Shiratori took a hold of her wrist. She tried to jerk it free, but failed. Even though she went to her mother, she would still be a nuisance to the people there. Everyone knows that Ran cries so easily and can't stop for a very long time.

Officer Sato was taking care of the ones who shot her. She even got shot on the thigh and her shoulder while trying to do so. But that entire ordeal was worth it. After a good two minutes of gun shooting they finally heard three people who grunted and moaned in pain. Shiratori quickly told the others to look after the one they had just captured and cuffed his three allies.

It was a pretty hard job controlling those four criminals. They would often yank themselves out of their grip and try to run away but the police were fast even though they were injured. After some more surprise attacks from the criminals they finally were able to get out of the house with at least three injuries. I repeat, with at least three injuries. The one who had the most injuries was Sato, next was Shinichi. All the injured was being tended to in the ambulances, which came with the police earlier on. Although, Sato and Shinichi had to be brought to the hospital and fast!

Almost the whole force visited them in the hospital after they had taken the whole criminal group into custody. But sadly, both of them are still unconscious. They have to visit them again next time.

Okay. That was the first chapter. Was it lame? I think it was. Just like what I say in my profile, tell me what you really think. And don't ask me on how Eri was kidnapped. I just ran out of characters that can be hostages and she was the one that first popped into my head. Hope you liked it! Please review. :) Thanks.
