[Something that Kaito hadn't let be know was that he had arrived in KID's gear. It went without saying that he always counted on needing a quick change of clothes just in case. He had taken to wandering the streets of the various cities here, trying to get a layout of the land.

That had been the reason he was out tonight, cape fluttering in the breeze, hat pulled low as he ventured from rooftop to rooftop. He paused as he had seen someone below, grinning as he recognized a familiar head of hair. He jumped down, frowning as he had lost sight of his target.

KID heard a noise as he walked, his hand stealing away into his coat, fingers resting against the metal of his card gun. As moved closer he recognized the child against the wall but not the man in the trench coat. The outfit was familiar enough though to set off warning bells and he pulled the gun, keeping it trained on the threat.]

I do have to ask, sir, that you step away from the child.

[After years in Cair Paradisa, Dairine had been mentally preparing for mischief as Halloween approached. It had a tendency to be the most crazy time of year back in the castle, and even back home the holiday could bring out some of the Lone One's more reclusive spooks.

Either way, Halloween usually brought her more tricks than treats.

Dairine had been walking home from a late shift at work when she caught the tail end of a conversation. "...as a kid. Is it Conan Edogawa now?"

The name itself was enough to cause alarm, but that menacing tone... What had Conan got himself into this time?! Without thinking, Dairine hurries towards the sound. That's when she catches sight of the small detective trapped by a towering figure all in black. She doesn't miss significance, but quite frankly she doesn't care. Putting on her most intimidating scowl, she approaches from the opposite direction as Kid, barely noticing him in favor of focusing on her target.]

Hey, old man!! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

[ Conan's gaze darts worriedly from Gin to Kid to Dairine. No. This couldn't be happening. Bad enough to be caught by Gin. Bad enough that Gin knew.

But now Dairine and Kid were involved. If Gin figured out that they knew each other...

The only chance was to convince Gin that they were only bystanders worried about a strange kid being threatened. He'd still try to kill them, but at least they wouldn't become targets.

But like this, he couldn't say anything. He had to hope that they were fast enough to figure that out.

Conan feels himself being pulled away from the wall and pinned by one of the assassin's arms. Out of the corner of his eye he can see Gin aiming a gun that tracks between Kid and Dairine. He heard Gin begin to speak.]

Hmm, interference. Too bad. This boy is long overdue for a certain appointment.

[He struggles to get out of the grip, but he only manages to wrap his hands around Gin's wrist. His feet were too far off the ground to get any leverage, and he already knew that his sedative darts would not work.

It was the first time in a long time that Conan had felt exactly how helpless he was as a child.]

Ch'.

[KID's finger tightened on the gun, wondering just what the heck was going on, something he reserves the right to grill Tantei-kun about later. Because like hell if he's going to let this go.

He keeps his eyes trained on Gin, however, not about to let the man out of his sight, even for a moment. He trusts Tantei-kun enough to hope that he doesn't make the situation worse.]

I'm afraid that we'll have to cancel that appointment.

[The hand not holding the gun moves slightly, dropping down. Although not seen, a small capsule drops into KID's waiting fingers. He's so thankful that he had the foresight to stock up before he left home before arriving here.]

[Dairine would probably be wondering more about the fancy dude in white herself if not for the situation. Right now, Gin and Conan have most of her attention. She rarely sees Conan this freaked out, and it's starting to get to her.

As Gin pulls out a gun, Dairine lets out a snort of derisive laughter. It takes only a few silent seconds to put up a shield spell, she's used it so many times. Once the invisible barrier is in place, Dairine flashes one of her more threatening smirks, the type that usually preceded a beat down.]

You stole the words out of my mouth.

[That's all the warning they get before Dairine rushes forward towards Gin. It's a risk... but a calculated one. If she can surprise this guy, make herself the target, Dairine figures they have a better chance of getting Conan away from him.

Once she closes the gap, Dairine thrusts the palm of her hand at the assassin's chin with all her might.]

[Kid had a plan. Conan could tell that much. He didn't know what it was, but he trusted Kid enough to ready himself to take advantage of whatever was about to happen.

And then Dairine charged. What was she doing! Had she not listened at all when she'd managed to nag the bare facts of the Organization out of him?

Conan's eyes widen in horror as Gin tightens the grip over his mouth and moves him in front of Dairine's attack. ]

[Honestly, KID's plan didn't consist more of just getting Conan the hell out of there ~~and then grill him on just what the hell was that?~~, but this was KID. Making stuff up on the fly was just how he rolled. Although, admittedly, there was a part of his brain that entertained the fleeting thought that every single time he had to improvise, it was usually because of a certain Tantei-kun.

Go figure, that.

His fingers curve around the capsule in his hands, grip steady. He doesn't know who the girl who has joined them is, but since she seems more concerned about Conan then anything else, he count her as an ally and as a distraction, his muscles tightening in anticipation of making a move.

Only it's too late as they both move and KID is forced to abandon his original plan, dropping the capsule in his hand and using the sudden smoke as a cover as he moves to dive in-between the two. Whatever this girl has planned (KID can't see her taking on a grown man like that without some sort of plan, as unthought out as it might seem) and knows that he has a better chance of surviving a hit then Conan does. And hey, if he manages to grab the tiny detective in the fray and distract the long haired grunt, all the better.

He just really hopes whatever hits him doesn't hurt too much. He likes his body relatively uninjured, thank you very much.]

[If Dairine had stopped to think, she might have realized how reckless she was being, expecting this guy to shoot at her. Most adults don't see a thirteen year old as a threat, let alone someone as ruthless as a Black Organization member. But then again, her knowledge on the individual members was non-existent, so she had no idea what to expect from Gin.

Dairine catches sight of Conan being moved to block her attack, and she immediately realizes her mistake. She already starts moving to divert her blow when suddenly there's smoke and the rustle of fabric. Her stomach drops as her hand collides with something -- had she not changed direction enough?? Powers, if she hurt Conan...

What she actually hit, though, was Kid's chest. Or rather the side of it. He's pretty lucky; with her form shaken, the impact is far less than it could have been.]

[Conan tenses as he prepares for the hit. Being held as he was, he already knew he had no chance to avoid it. And then there is a familiar burst of smoke and rustle of fabric. Conan loses sight of everything. Instantly he slams his head back against Gin and does everything he can to loosen his grip. If he was going to have any chance at getting away, this was the moment.]

[KID had been expecting the hit and braced himself accordingly. It hurt and was more then likely to leave a bruise, but that wasn't something he was going to worry about right now.

With a soft grunt, in the confusion of the smoke, he reaches out and grabs Tantei-kun with one hand and pushing off the other man with his other. He tucks the mini detective against his chest as he rolls away.]

Clearly, Tantei-kun, we need to have a talk about recklessness.

[It's hard to tell what is going on with her vision obscured. But Dairine hears Conan struggling and the guy in white talking to him. Which at least sounds promising.

She takes a couple steps back, hoping for the best but prepared for an attack any moment.]

[Conan relaxes into Kid's grip as they roll away.]

Oi, is this really the time to talk about that?

[He watches carefully as the smoke clears to reveal Gin standing there, with his gun aimed directly at Conan. If he is at all put out with the loss of his prisoner, it does not show at all.]

I advise you to give more thought to the destinies of those who become involved with you, Kudo Shinichi.

[But with that said he fades and vanishes, as if nothing was ever there.]

We're going to eventually, Meitantei.

[KID stands, staring at the space where Gin had been standing for a long minute before slowly putting Conan down. He frowns for a long moment, glancing at the girl near them, wondering how much she heard before sighing. Perhaps a bit over dramatically, but hey, this is KID.]

Why do such villain always have to be so over dramatic?

[Dairine heard pretty much everything Gin just said, though she doesn't seem very surprised by it. She already knew Conan's real name after all.

She watches as Gin disappears in thin air, slowly realizing the threat had been an illusion all along. Though a rather substantial illusion. Welp, now she really feels embarrassed. Best to check on the others before her mistake catches up to her.]

Hey, are you both OK?

[The young wizard trots over as she asks.]
