Goodbye

“God damn you can’t even answer your phone, Hattori?!" Hakuba’s voice, clearly frustrated, strained. “What would you like me to do now?”

Silence on the line, aside from the detective’s breathing, before he was answered with a gruff and muffled male voice.

“Proceed.” 

"Ha… certainly.” Bitter, hard. Angry. “Hattori, I’m to tell you to pass a message along to my dear daddy and the rest of the boys on the for- ah, fine, FINE, stop-”

Muffled clatter. A ragged, broken gasp from the detective. 

Silence. One… two…. three…

“Hattori.” Quieter, calmer. Broken. “The Superintendent General needs to know that if he wants to see me again that he’s to wait next to Hachikō…” He coughed, then released a shuddering breath. And then, in English, quickly. “Don’t let him leave the house. They’re going to intercept at- ahgh!”

The definitive sound of gunfire. Four shots in total. More muffled, shifting sounds. The thud of something heavy hitting the ground.

"Tomorrow evening…” The previous male voice said into the phone. “Seven o’clock sharp. If he wants the body in one piece.”

“Conan-kun… ah, no. You really are my missing East Wind, aren’t you? Never mind. There’s not much time. I needed… to warn you that this case… this hotel… isn’t what it seems. Get out while you still can. I respect and admire you and your work… and wish you all the best in finding your happiness. But, Conan-kun…" 

There are three seconds of silence, then a sigh.

"…by the time you get this, I’ll be missing- just like the others. Please… if I could beg you one favor, one last request… pertaining to Kaitou Kid. I know that you’re the only one who can catch him. But when you do, please… protect him. Keep him safe, as a personal favor to me. He may be a thief, but he… he has his reasons. Trust me.

 ”Thank you… good luck… stay safe. Je t’aime, mon collègue. Au revoir.”

Goodbye

“Ah, Takagi-keiji, I just wanted to let you know that the situation is now under control… We were able to disarm the bomb successfully and the gunmen have been subdued. Although we’re still hoping for some backup to deal with the ‘pickup’ for down town, we’ve changed the status of the hostage situation from ‘at will’ to ‘stand down.’ This means that you can tell my father – if you’re still at the office – that yes, I will be there for lunch. Thanks, Takagi-keiji… we’ll get coffee again soon, ne?"
