Sato swore when she saw the woman stumble away from the almost boarded up window clutching her arm and ducking out of their sights. She was one of the best shots on the force and had almost hit the woman in the shoulder, which would ensure that she would have to come out for medical attention, but the woman had spotted them and thrown herself sideways at the last second.

"I grazed her arm but that was it." Sato said near snarling as she reported that to the commissioner who nodded once as he stared at the house, having arrived just a few seconds after she had and was observing the rest of the house.

"At least you managed to keep her from finishing up. That's the last window with any sort of opening left. Thanks to that we'll be able to send in a drone or something to make sure that the kid is alright in there until we can breach the house and rescue him." Kuroda said without his gaze wavering from the mansion in front of them.

"They got here faster than we thought they would, she's already boarded up and sealed all of the doors and windows except for that one. Even the chimney's been blocked somehow, right now our only method of getting information on what's going on in that house is by sending in a camera or something through the small area left open in that one window. Someone get a drone here and prepped to go in!" Kuroda barked orders to the others and making Takagi blink for a moment.

"Um…sir?" Takagi asked as someone went to run for a drone and it's attachments.

"What?" Kuroda asked glancing down at Takagi through his glasses and making Takagi sweat a bit but hide it. His commander had a scary face after all.

"Couldn't we just monitor them through the security system? A mansion like this probably has top of the line security so we can just call up the company or have some officers in the cyber division hack it." Takagi pointed out making Kuroda blink just once before nodding.

"Good thinking. Someone try to get ahold of whoever their security provider is and someone else get the cyber division to work on trying to hack it!" Kuroda barked new orders and making a few officers nod as one pulled out a laptop and began to work at it frantically while another made a few calls.

"Sir…the window that's not fully sealed…couldn't we get something to pry one or two more of the boards away and just enter it that way? While there's no way Chiba-kun or Meguire-keibu would fit someone like Takagi-kun or I could easily get in through that window." Sato pointed out making Kuroda hum slightly in his throat.

"It's an option. Alright. Grab a crowbar and two others of your choice to try and pry a bigger hole in that window and get inside. Once you are in one of you needs to prioritize undoing whatever was done to the main entrance so that the rest of us can come in without having to break through all that brick. The other two fan out and search for our mascot and ensure his safety. Make sure all three of you are prepared for anything, I wouldn't put it past that woman to set up traps around the window since she wasn't able to finish sealing it." Kuroda ordered making Sato nod once and turn to the others.

"Takagi-kun! Shiratori-kun! You two are with me!" Sato called for the two males who nodded and the three of them moved towards the house, Takagi pausing halfway into the gate and turning around.

"We might need a crowbar to help us pry the wood." Takagi explained when Kuroda stared at him for returning, Takagi pulling a crowbar out of the back of Sato's car, only for everyone to duck when there was the sound of something firing.

"OW!" Shiratori yelped loudly from the walkway of the mansion. Everyone's attention shot towards the two detectives up there in the driveway as more bullets fired. Sato and Shiratori came rushing back to the other officers, bullets being fired after them until they passed the gate. Quickly inspecting themselves for injuries everyone blinked at the sight of the bright orange paint that now decorated the two in various spots on their bodies.

"They set up paint ball guns?" Sato asked confused as she and Shiratori looked at each other confused.

"Traps meant to try and deter us from getting near the house. I'm not surprised and I wouldn't be surprised if they had other traps set up closer to the house itself." Kuroda said nodding slightly and making a few of the officers look confused.

"Why go for non-lethal traps then instead of something to permanently deter trespassers?" Takagi asked confused as he stared at the lawn around the walkway and driveway curiously, trying to spot the paint ball guns.

"What if it's just a mailman coming by later or earlier than normal? Not to mention that they're in the city, where would they hide a dead body if they had lethal traps? Non-lethal ones can be seen as just being there to deter people from trespassing or stealing. Self defense of a sort. Lethal ones on the driveway though? That would raise a lot of flags." Kuroda said his eye narrowed as he stared down the driveway to the house.

"Get me a bullet proof vest and I'll go back down there sir, they aren't lethal unless they hit the neck or head but those things still sting like crazy." Sato said wincing as she felt one of the spots where she had been struck already beginning to bruise and welt. They would definitely leave marks later.

"Just be cautious. There's likely more traps past those…and once in the house there's no telling if the traps are lethal or not." Kuroda said with a grimace and making Sato nod once.

"Don't worry sir. If it will get Conan-kun out of there and away from that shrew then I won't fail. We can't leave him in the clutches of an abusive manipulative mother, if we do then how can we call ourselves officers of the law?" Sato asked at the end and making everyone around her nod in agreement. They swore to serve and protect…and how could they do that around the public and civilians if they couldn't even protect and save one of their own?

"Good. Give her hell Sato-san." Kuroda ordered making Sato give a wide dark smile.

"Gladly sir."
