The Informant
Prologue
"The file you asked for, L." A folder landed quietly in front of the detective. He didn't look up from his laptop and Watari didn't need him to. He left without another word, worriedly glancing at L as he left. Although his work was constantly calling the young man to solve cases, he wished he did it in a healthier fashion.
After a few minutes of rapid typing on his laptop he stopped and glanced at the folder before him. His face displayed no emotions, but he was excited to finally have information on the criminal. He was known simply as Kira. There was no name on him, and barely anyone ever got to see the man's face. Any of them that had wouldn't dare describe it.
Slowly opening the file, he stared at the contents without reading them. The excitement was building.
The first paper in the small file was a long list of past involvements in crimes. The most serious crimes stood out to him the most.
Kira sold information to the Yakuza of police officers attempting to thwart their plans at the time. As payment he requested that one Ray Penber be killed as well. Later it was discovered that Penber was on assignment to catch Kira.
The more L read the more excited he became. The Kira appeared to be even better at his job then he had originally thought. He was determined to catch the man now.
The fiancée of Ray Penber had valuable information on the informant, before she suddenly collapsed seconds after telling Chief of Police, Yagami Soichiro, of what she knew on the Ray Penber case. Medical and Police staff were sent to inspect her apartment, only to find she had no recollection of the events, and no information on Ray Penber. Naomi Misora, fiancée of Penber, was found to have mild amnesia. She showed signs of blunt force trauma, but she doesn't remember the attack. Kira was believed to be behind the attack, though there is no evidence to support it.
Kira wasn't stupid, and he knew his was around the human body. He had obviously made contact through the woman's cerebrum, hard enough to make her forget but light enough not to cause her lasting harm. The real question was why he didn't just kill her? It could have been multiple reasons why, he may have been interrupted by the medical staff sent out, or maybe he detested killing unless deemed necessary for his own safety. L continued to read on, mystified by the informants changing moods.
Kira supposedly gave information to the police of an impending crime. In a note sent to the local police, he simply wrote: Kurou Otaharada is planning to go to the local elementary school. He will take a few students and a teacher hostage. If not stopped, he will kill them all one by one, starting with the teacher. It will happen any day during the upcoming week. Be prepared. He was correct, Tuesday morning Otaharada had forcibly entered the elementary school, taking students and their teacher hostage. He was not suspecting the officers to storm in seconds later, and was taking into custody without bail. He was later interviewed and asked what he would have done if the officers had not been there. Without missing a beat he simply answered that he would kill them. The reason for Kira releasing such information to the police is unknown. Otaharada, when asked if he knew Kira, quickly denied any contact with the man, almost fearfully.
L suspected Kira was playing with both sides, never giving allegiance with either side. No, the Kira was on his own side. Whatever he did for anyone was his own benefit. The man intrigued L greatly. He was sure most of the work from Kira was not known to anyone other than the ones to carry out his bidding. He wondered how much of the recent crime was in some way related the unknown man. L, feeling more tired than he had in weeks, closed his eyes for a few minutes letting the information sink in.
Looking behind the list of crimes he was involved in, L saw multiple composite sketches of Kira. They were all so different it would be impossible to tell if any of them were actually the truth. He would look into them all, but he doubted that he would find anything. Kira seemed to be feared by everyone, even the ones be betrayed. He was not to be messed with, nor was he someone to betray.
Behind all the composite sketches there were a few words by inmates who had come in contact with Kira and were brave enough to talk about him. There was Aki Hajime, who statement was short, but it was more than most were willing to give. He said to one of the detectives, when asked who Kira was: Everyone has heard of Kira, he's hard to miss… ya know? There isn't one member in my group that hasn't worked for him or got info from him. He's the guy to go to, ya know? Ya don't say no to him, and you don't ask him something unless you're willing to pay for it. He damn scary and I never even met the guy face to face! A note below the message told L of what he already suspected.
Aki Hajime was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the mother of his child and his daughter. He was heavily involved with the Yakuza, most likely asked by them to kill his family. He claimed guilty to the murders, though he never gave a motive.
L could barely contain his excitement now. Kira was powerful, a major influence in the Yakuza life style it appeared. Rarely was there a man with the man power or intelligence to have so much control over the gang without so as much being in it. There was one more statement from an inmate that wasn't involved with Yakuza. The note was placed before the statement, so he followed Watari's obvious request and read it first.
Isamu Keiji was found guilty of multiple jewelry burglaries, though the jewelry he stole was never found. Each piece he stole was worth thousands of dollars, and he was only caught when he tripped a wire alarm when stealing from a high class jeweler in Tokyo. He pleaded guilty to all accounts of burglary, and is sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Further down on the page it showed the conversation between a detective and Keiji.
Detective: Where are the stolen jewels?
Keiji: He has them.
Detective: Who is "He"?
Keiji: He is simply known as Kira.
Detective: … care to give us any information you have on the whereabouts of Kira?
Keiji: If I even began to tell you anything about him my throat would be slit tomorrow morning before you would even realize something was wrong.
Detective: What do you mean? How would he know what goes on in here?
Keiji: Look, he has ears everywhere. He knows everything. I'm not messing with him.
Keiji refused to say anything else about Kira.
L was astonished how much Kira controlled. He was almost certain he set the alarm off on purpose, the reason for doing so unknown. He seemed to have a rather skilled jewel thief working for him, though why he wanted that was not easily noted.
L was forced to put down the file due to the fact that he still had a case to solve. He reluctantly went back to the boring case, his mind elsewhere as he worked. He was eager to begin working on this elusive criminal, his mind set to find him. No matter what.
Well guys, I hoped you enjoyed that! I hope to update soon if you all like it. If you have any questions on the story or places in it that you want more information on, review or pm me. Also, If you have read this earlier you may notice I changed the story around a bit. I changed his name from Informant to Kira because of problems I was having with the plot. Sorry if this change bothers you.
Thanks for reading,
