L Vs Elraldo Coil
I got out of bed after hours of simply lying there with no real attempt to sleep
"Why do I even go to bed anymore" I wondered as I slowly got up
"If I don't go for sleep? Then what? Is it simply because I want to sleep? Because I envy those who can sleep?" I didn't even know anymore
"I'd better get my head out of that trail of thought" so I slowly crept to my computer, as if someone else was in the room, sleeping. There was no one, of course, but that never stopped me.
I got to my computer, but before I could press the button to switch it on, it switched itself on. I quickly moved the mouse top check what was going on, but before I could get anywhere with that, something appeared on my screen. Something I knew, something every detective would know. It was a calligraphic L, and like I said any detective would know what it was, and it was, of course, the century's greatest detective, L.
"Hello" said a synthetic voice on the other end. I quickly hooked my mic up to reply.
"Hello" I said back, not actually expecting him to hear me
"I am, in fact, L.," said the voice as if he were ignoring pleasantries
"I propose a bet," he said getting straight to the point, I replied quickly
"A bet?"
"Yes"
"And what kind of bet?" I asked.
"I challenge you for your detective code, Elraldo Coil" I stood there puzzled for a second, but quickly gained my composure
"So what kind of bet did you have in mind?" I asked still wondering why he had asked in the first place
"I found a case" He replied sharply and to the point
"What kind of case...?"
"A robbery"
"Of what?"
"Ill give you the details in an e-mail and when I go you will have that e-mail, and the first to solve it, wins" He explained so easily.
"I accept, L," I said confidently
"Good" and then he left
I sat down and quickly found his e-mail. In it, just as he explained, was the details of the robbery. I read through it quickly. 3 people involved. A bank robbery
"Piece of cake" I thought aloud, as I often do, 3 highly trained professionals, not as easy, still solvable, still easily solvable
