Adaption
words: 254


Kaito's breath left him in a hiss. He would not let that slimy creep get away! He shoved away from the railing, and darted to the ladder which he half climbed, half jumped down. The jarring in his leg bones was completely negligible, really. He'd felt worse.

Ahead of him he could see Snake's back, before he disappeared into the shadows, and around the edge of a building. Behind him, he could hear several members of the task force spilling out into the alley. “He went that way!” Kaito hollered, pitching his voice into an older man's gruff growl.

As they raced passed him, he couldn't help but think it was good to see them putting all their experience chasing him to good use. Nearby, one man had stopped and taken out a radio to report what was happening. Kaito used the chance to slip into a gap between buildings where he took a moment to check his equipment and tricks.

Smoke bombs? Check.

Card gun? Ready.

Knock out gas? Plenty.

Once he was assured of his readiness, he set out. The route he took, though, was slightly different from the one the officers had taken. If he knew anything about Snake, it was that his adaption of an escape attempt was likely to turn into a horror story. If Kaito, if Kaitou Kid, had anything to say about it, tonight's horror story would have a happy ending.

After all, that's what he did, wasn't it? Dealt in dreams, magic, and the impossible?



Vision
words: 356


It was a vision of horror that greeted him when he arrived on the scene. Kaito stood in the gap between two buildings, a small cluster of task force officers before him, and took it all in.

Snake was trapped between groups of black dressed and helmeted officers, some with the large shields of riot squad. A small group of people stood between Snake, and one wall of shields. He could see Nakamori-keibu, easily. The man had added a bullet proof vest to his usual attire, and beside him...

Kaito could feel worry settle into him cold and fast, because Shinichi was standing right beside the Keibu, though he had changed into the same protective gear as the rest of the riot squad. He even had a helmet clutched beneath one arm. There was a headset on his head, and, as Kaito listened to Shinichi speak, he realized it must be a negotiator coaching him on what to say. There probably hadn't been time to get one out here, and this was their best solution.

Dragging his gaze away from Shinichi, he took in the situation with Snake. The man had captured an unlucky young woman, and was holding her with a pistol to her head. Tears were flowing down her cheeks, while her hands gripped at Snake's arm where it was wrapped around her throat. She was, however, otherwise silent.

Another quick glance around showed a group of other people, who appeared to be her friends, looking terrified as they waited behind the police.

“You don't seem to get it do you?” Snake's voice snarled. “I'm the one with the gun here, so either you let me go, or I'll put a bullet in her brains!”

“If you kill her, you won't have a hostage any longer,” Shinichi replied calmly, but his eyes, for a moment, weren't on Snake at all. Kaito watched him glance around the edges of the crowd, wanted to demand what he was doing taking his attention off the bastard, then Shinichi's eyes landed on him, and he understood.

Kaito nodded faintly, and Shinichi turned back to Snake.



Censor
words: 302


It seemed, Kaito thought, that it would be up to Kid to censor this final act in Snake's play. It also occurred to him that the only thing keeping him from losing his tenuous grip on his sanity was the fact that he had to see this through. If they thought he was insane before, they had no idea how bad he'd be if his fraying idea of sanity snapped now. Still, with a sort of determination he slipped between the officers around him, until he was nearly at the front of the group. Then, taking a breath, he pitched his voice to make sure they couldn't figure out where it was coming from, “At this again, Snake? Tsk, tsk, when will you ever learn? Just turn yourself in already!”

The result was just as he'd expected. Snake violently whipped his head around, searching madly for him. The police, perhaps in spite of themselves, did as well. Most of them looked up, something he found almost funny. It was nice to know that they were starting to learn, at least.

Kaito used the distraction to toss a smoke bomb out a few feet, then slipped forward into it. As always, it was easy to change costumes, and as the smoke began to dissipate Kaitou Kid was revealed: Standing there in all his white clad glory, with his cape caught around his arm and pulled up to partially cover his face.

The dramatic entrance, as always, made adrenaline spike through his veins. Snake, shoved the woman he'd held forward, and seemed to totally forget about her in his presence. Kaito barely gave her a thought as she stumbled, sobbing, to Shinichi and Nakamori-keibu.

He knew better than to take his mind off Snake, particularly with a gun aimed at him to kill.

Ooh, this is getting pretty dramatic. I love how Shinichi looked around, knowing Kaito would be there and that he would be able to understand what he needed and would be able to do it.
Wonder how Shinichi feels, knowing he just put his boyfriend in the line of fire.
