Who: Terry Sheridan and Conan Edogawa
What: Terry-stalking.
When: Day 2 of the plot
Where: Shinjuku
Rating: Certificate 15

He knew it was a long-shot...

Terry had contacts here in Tokyo. They mostly hung around the more seedier areas of the city, understandably. The type of people who were in to hire a guy like Terry Sheridan normally were up to no good.

Unfortunately, Terry is out of his time, as well as his world, as he wanders the familiar streets, pausing to look up at a building that once held a meeting place, or a bar where contacts liked to drink. Nothing familiar was here.

Occasionally, he'd glance around, just to make sure that some local Yakuza enforcer, or gang leader didn't want to make an example of the foreigner on their patch. He's aware it makes him look shifty as hell, but he'd rather be shifty and alive...

[Conan was curious.

He'd taken to wandering the different areas of Tokyo and cataloging all the differences. Even here in Shinjuku he could point out several buildings that didn't match what he remembered.

And as he wandered around Shinjuku, he had spotted someone who he was almost sure he'd seen around the castle.

What was he doing here? Conan only allows himself to debate for a second before he change course and starts to follow him.

If nothing else, it was good to keep up his skills in following people.

[Conan had made in depth studies of the science of following someone without being noticed. He knew better than to follow someone into an alley. In this part of Tokyo, far too many ended in a dead end.

No, instead of following him into the alley, Conan presses himself against the side of the building, just far enough around the corner not to be seen. Then he slowly angles the reflective surface of his watch around the corner. With luck he would be able to see what was happening without being noticed.

[Conan mentally curses. He hadn't been able to move away in time. He hadn't even managed to hide his mirror.

There was no way to deny what he had obviously been up to.

All the same he makes an effort to bluff his way out by pasting an expression of complete cluelessness on his face.

It isn't good to say things like that in front of kids, you know.

I wasn't stalking you! I was playing a game! Just like the detectives on TV!
deductiongeek: (challenging Kid)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-24 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a professional! I'm just a kid. I was just copying what the detectives in stories do.

[This could be bad. This guy wasn't dismissing him.]
deductiongeek: (backwards glance)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-25 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want anything. I was just bored.

[Conan was trying to figure out the best way to get away from this guy without raising any suspicion.]
deductiongeek: (skateboard)

[Great. Attempt to bluff failed. Conan abandons the innocent act, since it was obvious there was no point to it anymore.

He didn't know who this person was, but he was becoming more suspicious with every moment.

If things stayed like this, it could become dangerous. He needed a game changer. He needed to change the situation.

And so Conan grins at the man innocently.

That's a mean thing to say to a kid, isn't it?

[And in one smooth motion he flips his skateboard onto the ground and moves to slam his foot down hard on the ignition button.]

[Conan freezes and slowly steps back to the ground. He didn't fear guns. He'd been in this situation too often for that.

But he was wary when one was pointed at them. Especially when he didn't know the person well enough to predict their actions. And this guy? Was one big mystery.

What do you want?
deductiongeek: (stubborn)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-25 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I told you. I was curious.

And who would hire a kid for anything?

[Conan had dropped his childish mannerisms in favor of a serious glare and adult-like posture.]
deductiongeek: (glasses flare phone)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-25 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Conan had as well. Murderers who used kids as alibi excuses. Murderers who got their children to buy the supplies for their crime.

But the child he pretended to be wouldn't know that.
]

Shouldn't you be more concerned that one of the people out there will see this?

[He jerks his head at the busy street behind them. And ignores the comment about his curiosity.]

Its hard to predict things like that, isn't it? [Conan really needed to stop his habit of challenging people when they were pointing weapons at him.]

You're from the castle, right? Even if you disappear here, you'll just show up there whenever this ends.
deductiongeek: (displeased)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-25 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Conan will just give him an unimpressed look.]
deductiongeek: (resents)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2013-08-25 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I saw you there.

[Conan makes a thoughtful sound, but drops it.]

Are you going to put the gun down?
