[Video] Pull Point Plot

[eastdetective]

 [Conan had spent the two months since his arrival in Maurtia Falls determined to avoid posting anything on the network. Without knowing everyone who might be seeing it, he had decided it was just too risky to have his face and name out there for anyone to see. Not without knowing whether one of them was here.

It had taken seven-year-old Shinichi Kudo less than ten minutes to figure out exactly how to operate the communicator. And more importantly, how to make the video function work.

The kid frowns into the video. Anyone who had ever met Conan would have no trouble recognizing him. Apart from the missing glasses, he looked exactly the same.]

Oi, I've had enough of this joke. Can I go home now?

[He taps at the camera suspiciously.]

Mom?  Dad? Is this another one of your pranks?

What do you mean enlisted? Isn't this just somebody's prank?

[Seven-year-old Shinichi hadn't figured out what was going on here yet. ]

Last night. Why?

[Emmett pinches the bridge of his nose.]

It may be, I can't be certain. But the main reason people have been brought here is to be something like a super-powered police force, and I don't see many parents wanting to expose you to that.

[eastdetective]

Things like superpowers aren't real. Something like a super-powered police force could only exist on television. Even a kid like me knows that.

[smallscott]

You would think that was the case, wouldn't you? I would be all too happy to agree, but. I've seen it with my own eyes.

[eastdetective]

How do you know it wasn't a trick? In detective novels optical illusions and magician's tricks can be really convincing.

[smallscott]

You're right, of course. This should all be thoroughly tested and investigated.

But I hardly think I managed to trick myself into causing lightning to appear from my own fingers.

[eastdetective]

Are you sure you weren't dreaming?
