Ran presses her lips together, answering Shinichi's question -- which will in turn touch on Christina's statement. "I followed Jodie-sensei when she took Ai-chan. The car stopped, and then I heard shots, breaking glass . . . I called the police. When it had been quiet for a while, I thought it might have been safe to come out and check and make sure that everyone was okay . . . but when I opened the trunk, she was there. Pointing a gun at Ai-chan, ready to shoot."

She lifts a hand to rub at her temple with the back of one hand, as though the memory somehow aches in her mind. "I went over the car to get to Ai-chan. I guess there was someone shooting from the rooftop, too, but I made it to her. I tackled her. She--" Her eyes flick back to indicate Christina, shoulders tightening inward. "She screamed at me to move and get away. So she could shoot Ai-chan."
