Whoah..... I read this, promptly got sick with a bad sinus infection, and now FINALLY got a chance to review! This chapter was excellent; I know you said you weren't entirely happy with it, but it was beautifully done... For Heiji to react with impatience and some anger over what he was afraid had possibly happened (Shinichi unwisely telling people his secrets) made perfect sense, as much as it did for him to take some satisfaction from rubbing the truth in Shinichi's, Agasa's and Ai's faces; nobody likes being repeatedly called a liar. And it's not like he hasn't got a temper. I also liked Agasa's reaction after Ai freaked out; totally in favor of your 'Thank God for Agasa' tag, he is SO underrated.
I didn't expect the toll that all this is taking on Heiji's health, and I was kind of 'Well of *course* it'd hit him like that, why didn't I think of that?" It makes perfect sense, and right now there's not exactly a lot that they can do about it, which is terrifying. And I just had a thought; I wonder how many of the deaths Heiji's experienced can be tied in with the Organization? Some, no, but organized crime links might really be interesting to follow.
I've probably already said this, but your fic is one of the most unique DCMK works I've ever read; it's a real treasure, and I can't wait (but I know it'll be worth it) for the next chapter! Thank you hugely!
