DISCLAIMER : I do not own death note or its characters.

" in here please sir" the young nurse said walking down a white hallway. the man that followed her was elderly,wearing black clothes including his hat, another man followed wearing the same, neither of them liked the idea of leaving Wammy's house in the care of one of the teachers but they were called out for an important reason which save the world in the end.

They came to the children's ward, it was late and the children were asleep, they entered quietly and made there way down the dull coloured hall to a room.

Inside the room laid a child, so still he looked dead, both men entered the room to take a better look at the boy who was hooked up to many monitors and other instruments.

He was young, no older then five , four perhaps. His skin was pale and cold to the touch, his hair white as the sheets,even under the hospital clothes you could tell he was under weight, so why were they called out this late to see him?

The first man took his hat off and picked up the chart at the end of the bed and read the name.

Nate River

" of the river family?" he asked 
" yes mister Wammy" the nurse said as the man sighed putting the chart down, he placed his hand to his forehead rubbing it slightly.

" what's his present condition?"

" he found found unconscious in the basement of the manor, bolted in , to protect him we don't know, He is under weight, and badly kept, we think he has hit his head, he has not woken up since he came two days ago, but his life signs are good"
" roger, have you seen the news recently?" the other man asked 
" no i have been to busy with the children"

" The late Mr.River and Mrs.River were middle profile, people knew who they were and what they did, they were rich but not famous, two days ago they were found brutally murdered in the own home, a grudge? we don't know yet. but what we do know is they had a son, kept out of profile, maybe he had never left his house, but here he is, i will go into more detail another time but that's the short of the long story"

Roger looked at Nate again " a candidate?"

" the hospital think so"

" we will keep our eye on him" he said leaving the room.

both men left the hospital, wammy put his hat on and looked at the nurse " please when you can move him to the main ward"

" why?"
" who ever kiled his parents may be looking for him , its to be safe" he said getting in a car which soon drove off.
