Kaito raises an eyebrow at his words. Let him escape? Now THAT was a strange concept. He keeps him his wide grin, “I never have been one to listen to warnings, Tantei-san.” he shakes his head. “If I gave it to you now, I would just have to try again later.” he adds on, “I think disappearing is the better idea. Thank you for considering though~!”
KID reaches into his pocket, his hands moving quickly before throwing a smoke bomb onto the ground in order to hide where he was standing. His legs move quickly to disappear into the smoke.
Dammit!
Hakuba grit his teeth. If Kaitou managed to disappear, it’d be the running-chase-miss game all over again. “Oh no you don’t!” The detective, normally so proper in posture and procedure, immediately threw caution to the wind and leaped at the thief, arms around to grasp whatever he could get a hold of – if anything.
There was a reason why he didn’t normally do this sort of thing. Kaitou had a knack for escaping regardless, and ending up face first on the concrete in front of the approaching officers was certainly not high on the list of things that the young detective wanted to deal with. But there was always a chance that he could catch the thief, right?
