{{ →!Action | Hospital | Morning | Locked to hospital Staff and People that know where he is }}

[ If anyone has noticed Conan's absence from 915 Bilko Boulevard it will have seemed as though he up and a disappeared and has been missing for several days. The truth is, that after a truly unfortunate encounter he's wound up at the hospital but no one really knows that except for the staff and, of course Sherlock, being the person that brought Conan to the hospital. ]

[ During his absence he's been drifting in and out of drug induced sleep. However, he's feeling much better today, his body temperature is back to normal and his head isn't pounding like it was. The last thing he can really remember is that he wasn't thrilled about going to the hospital when that seemed a bit obvious. Well, he's still alive so maybe Gin didn't want to risk looking for him... that or he thought that there was no way Conan could survive long enough to get help... honestly, even he's kind of surprised he didn't just die that night. ]

[ Now that he can think clearly again he's laying back in bed with one arm tucked under his head staring at the ceiling and contemplating his next move. He needs to find someway to deter Gin from just attacking him again. He's not really in any shape to do anything immediately as he is still recovering from a few broken ribs and dislocated shoulder. Not to mention his hands and wrists are still bandaged. ]

[ He wonders if anyone's noticed his absence, if they had they'd probably know he was still around somewhere since people who were sent home ended up droned. His next thought is if they would bother to look for him... It was certainly possible with a few people... he's really glad Ran isn't here. She'd have torn half of Mayfield up looking for him. That thought in mind though, he manges to get down from the bed and find a phone. Not fun with broken ribs. ]

[ He'd better made this quick. If anyone tried to trace it they'd need twenty seconds at least. He has less than that to make his call. ]

Uh-hi! This is Conan...I've been gone for a few days, but don't worry, I'm fine. Well, I've got to go, but just know I'll be a few more days.

[Sherlock just raises an eyebrow at the "not reckless" bit.]

Whatever gave you that idea?

Despite what people think, I don't always go rushing off into danger.

[ Yes Conan, tell that to Hattori, Ran, Kogoro, all of the metropolitan police department, your parents, the Detective Boys or Kaitou Kid. ]

[Sherlock finally sets the book aside.]

You mean to tell me that you weren't thinking beyond your phone call?

[Sherlock doesn't believe Conan. In fact, he's quite sure Conan was thinking about disobeying him.]

With broken ribs and not quite healed shoulder? How far do you think I could get if I did go after him?

Being wounded is the perfect opportunity to make plans...

[Sherlock knows all these tricks, Conan, it won't work.]

But I'm not going to go after him while I'm still injured.

You aren't going after him at all.

[If Sherlock has any say. And he's pretty certain he does.]

[ Thankfully, it's unlikely Gin would be targeting anyone in Mayfield so there's that at least. ]

Am I supposed to just leave it to you?

The police trust me. John trusts me. Even Mycroft trusts me.

[Well, Mycroft trusted him sometimes.]

Why don't you?

It has nothing to do with trust. This is the member of the black organization that force-fed me the apotoxin. It's his fault I'm like this. It's personal.

Oh yes, because when things are personal is when you are the most likely to think clearly.

[The sarcastic tone in his voice says more than his words.]

I'm not used to having much of a choice. I can't tell the police-someone is accepting bribes from them and the officer I told would just end up dead.

You have choices here.

[He picks up the book again, because this conversation is going to go in circles.]

I-I know... but... I-I don't want to see anyone else's life ruined.

[Sherlock rolls his eyes.]

None of us are home - our lives are already ruined.

[ Shinichi is quiet a minute, just staring up at the white ceiling ]

I hate seeing people get hurt. If there's anything that I can do to prevent it I'll do anything I have too... even if it means throwing myself in danger.

You don't need a reason to save someone's life.

Nor do I. I don't want to play the "head of household" card with you, but I will if I have to.

[In other words, Sherlock is responsible for Conan's health now and he will ensure it any means he can.]

Even if you did, do you think that would stop me?

The Black Organization is my problem. I invoked their wrath. If anyone has to suffer from it, it should be me. No one else.

[Sherlock is completely calm.]

I can tie you to the bed.

A lot of people have learned the hard way that I don't stay tied up or down.

You will find that I'm not most people.

No, but I'll do everything I can to escape. I'm not most people either.

Is that a challenge? I love a challenge.

[His tone is lighthearted and he winks, but his expression after the wink shows just how serious he is. Really, challenging him on this issue is a bad idea.]

No. It's a promise.

Even better. Just remember what your role is... and what my role is.

[Which is also a promise.]
