“A KID heist ends when Criminal 1412 gets away, right? Everyone knows that.
Well, the last one broke that rule.
No, no. We didn’t catch KID. Geeze, don’t shriek like that. I get enough of that on the job from Nakamori-keibu. Don’t need it when I’m off-duty.
Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Last week’s KID heist. The heist itself was pretty normal, for a Kaitou KID job. We try to stop him from getting the gem, he uses his magic or disguises to get by us, we attempt to dogpile him, he runs off, we chase him, he hang-glides away, and Nakamori-keibu turns the air blue with his curses. The only unusual thing is this is daylight heist. The KID tends to prefer working at night. Not that I’m complaining about the change.
Anyway, KID gets away with the gem. Some rock called the ‘Australia Star’ or something like that.
The ‘Sydney Star’? Yeah, that sounds about right.
Getting back to my story, the Task Force is getting ready to leave the crime scene so forensics can do their job when a call comes over the radio. Some idiots have let the animals out of their habitats at the zoo. Understandably, there’s quite a bit of panicking going on.
We’re both the closest and one of the largest units. And we’ve learned how to deal with large groups of screaming people dealing with the KID’s fans. So, of course, we’re the ones ordered to the scene. We get to the zoo, and what do we find? Complete chaos. People running everywhere, lots of screaming. Looks like something out of those old Godzilla movies, honestly...
What?
Oh, after a second to gape, Nakamori-keibu orders us into squads. Some of the squads direct people near the entrances out of the zoo, others get to check the buildings for zoo workers who can’t help wrangle the animals, one squad goes to the security office to see which animals are loose, and then there’s my group.
The group my squad’s in is assigned to rescue people in danger. Getting trampled by the stampeding crowd, too close to the loose animals, or whatever.
No, I’m not joking. Wish I was, though.
Yeah, I’m fine.
You wanna hear the rest of this story?
Ok. Nakamori-keibu orders my squad to rescue any people in danger. At first it goes pretty well. Most of the people we’re helping are only in danger of being trampled or hit by strollers, so it’s a human threat. No chance of becoming something’s lunch. Things are going great until we’re by the savanna section. There aren’t any civilians around, so we relax a bit.
Big mistake.
Two-hundred-some pounds of Bengal tiger comes charging at me...
Why me? Oh, I was the last person in the group and I had my back to where it was hiding. But that’s not important to the story.
Anyway, two-hundred-some pounds of Bengal tiger comes charging at me, and the only reason anyone knows is cause my partner spots it and shouts. I spin to face the thing, spend a precious second gaping, and try to dodge in time. Unfortunately, I can tell that I didn’t move fast enough to be safe. I’m about to meet my ancestors when someone else steps in.
Kaitou Kid literally jumps in between me and the tiger. He brings his hands up and a ring of flame appears in front of the leaping tiger, like one of those flaming hoops animal tamers have at circuses.
The tiger enters the hoop, and I swear by all the kami this is true, disappears. Not even a piece of fur is left.
KID apologizes for not getting the tiger earlier, tips his hat, and vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Not a minute later, our radios crackle. One of the guys from the security office stammers out that the last missing animal just appeared in its habitat.
It was, in case you’re wondering, a tiger leaping out of a hoop of flame that appeared from nowhere.
You’re buying me another? Thanks, man.
Later.
Hey, what’s this ROCK doing in my drink?
Holy shit! Get back here, KID!”

Omake:
“What happened to the guys that let the animals out? KID left them, and the stuff they stole from the stores near the zoo during the panic, wrapped in a huge box in the middle of the bullpen as an early birthday present for Nakamori-keibu. I’ve never heard the Inspector laugh like that before.”
