Light stared at the horrific scene in front of him. A man, strapped in two separate sets straight jackets, and chained to what looked like a dolly lift. He wore a mask, with a slot for eyes and a slot for a nose. "L, what's going on?"

L stood next to Light with his thumbnail in his mouth. "That. Is B, or as our records state, Beyond Birthday. He's a serial killer, master of puzzles, but before all that, was one of my successors."

"A serial killer is one of your successors?!"

"Was."

Light glanced back at the chained man and a red-headed woman came around the back of him with Watari. "Is he asleep?"

Watari nodded, "He has enough tranquilizers in his system to knock a horse out."

She arched an eyebrow, "Is that necessary?"

Watari nodded grimly, "We are unsure of his mental state, he could be violent."

She sighed and touched on of the locks over his chest, "Well… He brutally murdered three people then set himself on fire… Violence, I think, would be a symptom of the problem. Though, I imagine, waking up in a strange area, unsure of where or when he is… Locked up. I'm sure that will just do wonders for him." She sarcastically remarked.

Watari smiled, "You're concerned about his welfare? You always were kind, Rose."

She sighed, "Not his. Mine."

Watari nodded, "We've seen to that." He placed a bracelet in her hand, "Should your heart stop it will simultaneously stop his. It also has a small trigger to send a non lethal current through his body, disabling him. It also has a hundred foot radial tracker in it, should he go outside that radius it will send a lethal amount of electricity through his body."

"A little harsh."

Watari grinned, "We figured you'd say that, so, that being said I crafted a second one for L, he needs to remain within one hundred feet of you or L.

Light stared at the chained man a little disturbed, "Is he that dangerous?"

Rose sent an annoyed glance his way, "Dangerous? No. He's lethal and criminally insane, do you want that roaming free?"

L smirked, "Bound together again, B… How does this keep happening to us? We should keep him bound until he's ready to play nice." Rose opened her mouth and L held up his hand, "Only for our safety, so that when he does calm down enough to be reasoned with, we can explain to him. When he does wake up, he'll more than likely panic… Rose, we all know what happens to an animal when it's frightened."

Light raised an eyebrow, "Animal?"

L nodded, "He's basically feral."

Rose sighed, "You're right."

Watari smiled at L, "Six is here."

L smirked, "Good. Send her in. I look forward to seeing the other successor who left."

Light watched as a blonde woman walked in with dark sunglasses and a fruit smoothie, tugging a large bag behind her. "L! You bastard!" She smiled and wrapped L into a tight hug, L stiffened slightly and tried to jerk away but was stuck.

L gasped, "Six! Still just as strong as always!"

Six chuckled and released him then ran and hugged Rose. "Little sister!" She squealed and jumped up and down while holding Rose's hands.

Light arched an eyebrow, "Sister?"

Rose smiled, "Yep!"

Six turned to Light, "Not by blood, who the fuck are you? And all these other people? L! You're going soft!"

L smirked, "I'll explain that, this case is proving to be difficult, so I had to pull from the local populous."

Six sighed, "And pretty boy here?"

Light smiled, "I'm –"

Six held up her hand, "No, I wasn't talking to you, you're just a person and everybody lies, I asked L, are you L? I think not, don't interrupt the grown ups."

L smiled softly at Light's expression of anger. "He's the main suspect, his name is Light."

Six smirked, "Bingo. That's all the information I need."

The other detectives approached them and Matsuda held out his hand, "Hi! I'm detective Matsuda!"

Six stared at his hand with a disgusted expression, "You want me to touch you?"

Matsuda hung his head, "She's mean."

Rose patted him on the shoulder, "Don't take it personally, she's like that to everyone. Well, except me and L. She'll warm up to you."

Matsuda sighed, "I get L, but how'd you do it?"

Rose smiled watching Six examining the prisoner, "One day, I just started talking… She never told me to shut up. We were both up to be candidates to be one of L's successor… She had the logical approach. But, that's why we're usually partnered together, what she lacks in humanity I make up for, what I lack in logical calculations she makes up for."

Six smiled, "He has beautiful eyes."

Everyone froze when she reached up for the mask, Rose watched cautiously, "Six. That's B."

Six raised an eyebrow, "I know. I can read, it says it on his identification tags says, so." She pulled the mask off of his head and smiled at him, "Well. Hello!" Beyond groggily shifted his jaw and hung his head, his eyes falling closed every so often. He tried to speak but it ended up sounding like gargled gibberish. Everyone shifted an uneasy stare to each other. Six leaned closer to him resting her hands on the chains, she nodded a couple of times, she looked back at the group, "He wants to know where he is."

L cleared his throat, "Beyond. I requested you to aid in a case, do you remember?"

Beyond snapped open his eyes, "L?" He snapped his head up and looked at Light, "What did you do to yourself?"

L chuckled, "Beyond. That's Light. He's also helping in this case."

Beyond tiredly blinked his eyes at him, "He's pretty. He's probably the killer." Light scoffed and folded his arms looking away.

Rose came around him, "Are you alright? Do you think we could let you out of those chains?"

Beyond smiled slightly defeated, "Did you just ask me, if it's okay for you to let me out?"

Rose sighed and undid the chains causing Beyond to stumble and fall onto the floor, Rose scrambled to his side, "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen!"

Six laughed, "Jeez, Rose, just drop the guy why don't you."

Rose glared at her, "I didn't know he was going to fall! How was I supposed to know!" She rolled Beyond onto his back, "I'm so sorry."

Beyond just stared at her with tired eyes, "You're a pathological apologizer… Aren't you?"

She winced slightly, "No! I'm going to undo these restraints. But, I have to explain something to you first. You're going to have this bracelet, it will shock and kill you if my heart stops. Also, you can't go over one hundred feet of me or L, or you die."

Beyond nodded as the restraints fell from his sides, everyone seemed to be holding their breath, he held up his wrist, "I'll assume it's triggered as well." Beyond glanced around the room at all the eyes on him, his gaze fell on L and Six.

Six watched next to L, she leaned over to him, "I'm going to go get settled, I'll be down in a bit after I shower… Airports are gross." L smirked and nodded.

Rose looked up and scoffed, "Don't you have an investigation to attend to? It's rude to stare, I don't care who he is, get back to work!" The others with the exception of L scrambled back to their desks. She locked the heavy bracelet on his wrist, his arm fell with a thunk noise.

L watched Beyond slowly regain his bearings, "Beyond. I'm offering you this. If we catch Kira, I can have your sentence lessened." Beyond slowly nodded while staring at the ceiling from the floor. "Are you still tired? I can take you to your room." Beyond just nodded once again. L walked over to him and held his hand out.

Beyond shifted a tired glance to L and Rose and took L's hand. Rose helped him up and helped L walk Beyond to his room. Beyond remained silent as they walked through the halls, one arm on L's shoulders, the other arm over Rose's. They approached a door with the locks reversed.

L sighed, "While you're in your room your bracelet is disarmed. But, as soon as you cross the threshold of your room it reactivates." L nodded to Rose, "It's alright, I've got it."

Rose protested, "But –"

L smirked at her, "He won't hurt me, he can barely walk."

Beyond rolled his eyes, "I'm right here. And my bed is over there… Does anyone else see the issue here?" Rose nodded and bit her lip before retreating to the main floor.

L pulled Beyond to his bed and set him down, "How are you? I know that's kind of a loaded question… But, generally."

Beyond shifted a glance to the window, "L. I'm a prisoner in a maximum security facility, I get no human contact because they hold me in solitary confinement… How do you think I am?" He sighed and glanced back at L, "I'm okay. I get treated like shit and I'm medicated into submission… But, it's whatever."

L sighed, "I'm sorry. I'll have you transferred at the very least." Beyond shrugged and curled himself up on his bed, L smiled softly and stood up pulling the covers over him. L stepped out of the room and locked it behind him.

He turned to be met with the sight of Six, "You put me in the room next to him?!"

L shrugged, "Rose is across the hall from him."

Six folded her arms and sighed, "Whatever, let's get this over with."
