“Eh? Seriously? That was supposed to be a joke. But, I guess…yeah, I think we can. Though, that sneaky thief’s a tough and troublesome case.”

“That he is, that he is indeed… but all the more reason why we should work together, yes? Perhaps we’d have a chance to take him down once and for all. I have some inside information, you see… and I’ve been following his career as a thief for quite some time now.”

Hakuba really had no intention whatsoever of letting Kaitou KID get caught, but if the thief wanted him to chase, he’d chase. And if he got to spend time with Conan in the process, all the better. Especially as it would allow him the opportunity to learn, perhaps, just what made Conan – and by extension, Kudou – as incredible as he was. 

But he wasn’t going to mention that.

“Yeah, I guess… Well, I wouldn’t be wasting my energy to something so small and trivial like that.” And his grin spreads a little widely.

“Eh? Curry? Spend time with me?”

Could it be…
“Hey, we’re not just going to eat, are we?”

“Well… there might be a bit of a case involved~ I was wondering if, perhaps, we could work together to capture Kaitou Kid one of these days. As a team?”

“Lunch? Hehh… it’s really rare for someone to treat me to lunch whenever I do those things! Furthermore, it’s you, Hakuba-san, who’ll do it! Is it really okay?”

“It was very clever and amusing, and you stood up for yourself without resorting to violence. I’d say that’s worthy of merit. Besides, it’s always nice to spend time with you. What do you say – curry rice?”

Subaru nodded. It was a small comfort in some regards, in that it wasn’t the Black Organization. Still, given the circumstances of the case, that meant there was some form of abuse going on before the perpetrator was caught. (Harming children, though, was a special low even the Organization avoided when they could, for goodness sake.)

“It isn’t a problem, Hakuba.”

Speaking of tricks, though, there was a difference between his allusions of a weapon and his actual trickery. Namely the disguise and lying abut his identity. “So, aside from the idiocy that is that criminal, have there been other cases you’ve been working on?”

“Ah, just the usual, really. I’ve been looking into some gang-related crimes. Drug dealers. East of Tokyo.” Hakuba laughed. “So, yes, I am involved in some organized crime cases, but they’re not giving me any guff at all thus far. Just fighting with each other over territory and I’ve come across some of their illegal dealings and… well.”

The detective sighed, then got to his feet. “Can I interest you in a drink of any kind? Tea, scotch, anything…? Ah, and what have you been up to lately?”
