The K I D N A P P E D Meme

You've just been spirited away against your will and oh no! What will happen next?

THE SCENARIOS

1. Friendly Kidnapping: It might just be for a talk over coffee. Maybe someone wants to go out for a wild night on the town and needs someone to go with them. Whatever the case may be, they want you to come with them and they aren't taking no for an answer.
   
2. Romantic Kidnapping: Perhaps it's similar to the friendly kidnapping and you're now on a surprise date. Or it could be something more dramatic. You're about to be married against your will to the Baron Einzbern and your true love is here to rescue you! (Or maybe your kidnapper is trying to get all Stockholm on you. This could be creepy romantic kidnapping.)
   
3. Tough Love Kidnapping: You're slacking off on your training and the dread dragon is going to attack in a month. Or you're ignoring your deadlines. Deadlines? What deadlines? Either way, your kidnapper's going to make sure you get your stuff done one way or another.
   
4. Serious Kidnapping: You have a murdergame you need to get participants for and...no one's going to volunteer so you need to take matters into your own hands. Or it's for ransom. Or something else. Hostages? Your friend isn't taking the threat on their lives seriously so you need to intervene?
   
5. Some Other Kidnapping Motivation: Maybe you're just really bored.

[Organized crime is not usually where L's interests bring him, though with what Conan has to say, it sounds slightly more complex and complicated than bloodlines of old yakuza or mafia families and competitions over territory and market share.

And if so many are involved in the investigation.]

I see. And as a criminal organization, even secret, it's likely at some point they may attract Kira's attention. The fact that they haven't yet speaks to their talent for secrecy.

[Kira has gone through a few particularly ruthless stretches with murdering criminals recently.] Police contacts probably help with that, but eventually something may make the news even if it's only tangentially related.

[ Shinichi isn't sure if he'd consider it a 'talent' per-say. Then again, despite his generally abrasive personality he is rather soft-hearted. ]

They're... thorough [ He decides is the best way to describe it. If They weren't so efficient then he wouldn't be so afraid of Them now. Given that he's been hiding from them for the better part of a year now he's learned exactly why he should fear them. ]

They'll take out anything even vaguely suspicious. Most of their crimes get written off as accidents, or terrorist attack depending on the scale-They were behind the attacks on Tokyo Tower and Beika City's Aquarium.

If any of their members are exposed they... dispose of them quickly so they're difficult to track.

[ But all of this, while important to note, at the moment just feels like rambling. ]

For obvious reasons, I don't want the Organisation getting to Kira. However, on the opposite side of the scale I don't want Kira discovering anything about the Organisation because... I think they're after immortality.
