Chapter 44 - Chapter 43: Mortal danger

Ending his Skype conference, Conan hears Ais sarcastic remark. Only now after shutting down his table does he realize that all his woman aside from the still missing Sonoko has joined him for breakfast.

Seeing Erin and Sato

seemingly intimately hug each other, Conan can't stop himself imaging these two mature beauties kiss and make out with each other. Acknowledging himself being fine with his woman loving each other, as long as he is the only man in their lives, he asks Ai. ''Are you okay with her joining?''

Nodding Ai gets up from her seat and sits down on Conan's lab, saying. ''Since last night, I can understand the benefits of sharing.'' Hugging his cute little lover, Conan ants to kiss her forehead, but Ai thinks different. Shamelessly she locks her lips with his while making erotic sounds, only lovers do.

Still being hugged by Erin, Sato at first gets jealous before once again acknowledging her rival's age. ''Farrusi how could you?! She is a minor! Seducing a minor is a felony!''

''Relax, Miwako. I a sure you, Ai is not as young and innocent as you might think.'' Explains Erin, tightly squeezing Sato, while Ai triggers her ability involuntarily as she loses herself in Conan's tongue acrobatics.

Seeing Ai transform from a cute fourteen-year-old into a seductive woman, Sato doesn't believe her eyes.

Staring at Conan who now is making out with a woman seemingly his age a slight sliver of pain invades her heart. Mentally degrading herself, Sato doesn't realize Erins face getting closer to her own. Before she knows it, their lips touch each other and an electric current instantly shoots down to Satos pussy, the pain of her lover making out with another younger woman instantly forgotten. As their kiss ends, Sato has already calmed down.

''Meanies!...'' Comments Ran pouting, realizing that she is being the only one currently not kissed. ''... Emanuel get here and kiss me too!''

''No can do! This Italians lips are already taken!''

Following the events of the breakfast, Ai explains the concept of abilities to Sato, while both are observing Emanuel clearing up the breakfast table. After having Ran announcing her intentions for getting superpowers and having seen Ais transformation, Sato after also announcing her split from Takagi has many questions.

Having the sound isolated pool house for himself the gay Italian cook is blissfully unaware of his employer's unholy nightly activities.

Having seen today's events, Emanuel is really glad to be gay, as he knows, that if he had any unclean ideas regarding any of his employer's women, he would be dead or worse.

Following his own mantra of befriending the woman, keeping his mouth shut and enjoying his more than just generous payments, the immigrant is all around happy to have found such an open-minded employer, seeing that some employers are either openly discriminating against people like him or sometimes harassing him to sate their forbidden desires.

Looking outside Emanuel thinks that the day promises to be a good one.

Having been forced to end the breakfast show prematurely, as the landline suddenly started ringing, Conan was in a bad mood. Not only had he been forced to stop kissing a matured Ai, been unable to enjoy the show of Erin and Sato making out, just when Erin started to loosen the buttons on Satos blouse, but also was greeted by nobody on the phone, when he was about to answer the call.

Being royally pissed, Conan goes back upstairs to finalize his Takeover of 'Ishimura Pharmaceutics', as he checks the answering machine. Pushing the button to replay the recorded message that spoiled his mood, Coman hears a voice unfamiliar to him.

''Hi, Shinichi it's me! I know that you are already old enough to make your own decisions, so I will not comment on your spending habits... Boy, I am sorry...'' Hearing the man's voice slightly slur the next words, Conan deduces, that the caller is slightly drunk. ''... I had a fight with Yukiko... your mother. Boy, I think this time we will not make it through... I am a failure as a husband and a father... Agasa told me about your situation, but your mother doesn't...'' Hearing the phone hit the floor, Conan is able to make out Yusaku Kudo last words before the recording ends. ''... Now your mother is missing... I will... home... few days... We... to talk...''

Looking up from the answering machine, Conan realizes that somehow his face has become wet. Wiping away the tears running down his face, he spots Ai, back being a fourteen year old.

''Ai, sorry I don't have the time for your seduction...'' He states, turning back on his tablet. ''... I have to finish the take over of 'Ishimura Pharmaceutics', before the company's funds are released, otherwise, I would still only be a shareholder.''

Blushing like the little girl she currently is, Ai murmurs. ''Idiot, I am not here to seduce you... again!''

''Why are you bothering me then?'' Asks Conan having heard her while looking up from his tablet.

''I would like to check out the company's laboratories, seeing that I will take over their research division to produce and research APTX drugs further...'' Ai states, before showing him the hard drive. ''... Thanks for your present by the way. It felt good to see my parents faces again, be it only in pictures.

''You are welcome...'' Conan tells her, showing his biggest smile. ''... As for you leading the research division, let's talk about that at a later date.''

Smiling sheepishly Ai asks. ''Can I at least check out the laboratories and 'borrow' some equipment?''

Seeing his little lover request his consent and feeling a little guilty for being a little too rough with her last night, Conan concedes, saying. ''Okay, you win. But first, let me call the laboratories!''

Smiling like a child getting what it wants, Ai hugs him. ''Thanks, sweetie!''

Nearly three hours later Ai together with Ran enter the high-security laboratories of Ishimura Pharmaceutics. Especially Ai is in high spirits. Considering that he spent most of her life in laboratories such as this, it is not really surprising that she is like a fish in water.

As they are inspecting the facility and I am occupied with sticking neon yellow sticky notes on every machine she deems necessary for her home laboratory. Unknown to them they are watched ever since entering the building, by somebody other than the security guards.

Inside a locked storage room, sitting in front of a monitor is an around seventy-year-old, silver-haired man smoking a cigarette. Seemingly deep in though he starts to inputting number into his cellphone, his eyes zeroing in on Ai.

''Any problem Pisco? Aren't your orders to simply guard our secret research data?'' Asks a female voice the elder in a slightly annoyed tone of voice.

Making a hurt face, Pisco tells the woman. ''You know what... forget I ever called!''

Ending the call, the elder is sure to have recognized Ai ad Shiho's childhood form. Even without Vermouth's explicit orders, he is hell band on getting on the bottom of this.

Unaware of the impending danger, Ai drags Ran from one laboratory to the next. Like a child in a toy store, she seems to always find something absolutely necessary for her research.

''I don't think that everything will fit into your laboratory!'' Remarks Ran, seeing Ai put her last sticky note on a huge monster of a machine.

Smiling sheepishly Ai explains. ''I know, but I don't count on getting everything. Only getting a fraction of al marked equipment is already more than...''

Witnessing His face suddenly change color, Ran instantly gets a bad feeling. Looking around she is unable to make out anything threatening. Some lab assistants are joking around at the other end of the lab and a kind looking elderly researcher with silver hair seems to be doing his work.

Returning her look to Ai, Ran can see the girl slightly tremble in fear. ''What is it Ai? Please tell me!''

Shacking her head while remaining paralyzed, as Ais now tear-filled eyes focus on something behind Ran. Registering some movement directly behind her, Ran turns around while hearing Ai whisper horrified. ''Grandpa Pisco!''

Coming face to face with the elderly researcher, she had previously dismissed, Ran suddenly feels disoriented and her view narrows, as her body suddenly collapses and she hits the hard floor previously beneath her feet.
