L's POV

"Are you sure you want to do this Ryuzaki?" Watari asks from behind me, placing another tray of goodies in front of me. I turn to him in my armchair, thumb finding the corner of my mouth immediately.

"I am sure, Watari. If I do not show my face to the task force now, I am scared I might lose their trust. It is a vital part of our investigation." I reach forward for a strawberry and put it in my mouth "And you know if they were kira, they wouldn't be able to kill me due to the fact they don't know my name." I say, munching on the strawberry.

" Well if you're sure sir."He says, leaving the room.

Not long after Watari has left, there is a solid knock on the door. Taking one last longing sip of tea, I approach the door. As I open it, I see six men standing in my doorway;the few brave enough to continue working on the case.

"Yagami of the NPA."

"Er...Matsuda."

"I'm Aizawa."

"Mogi."

"Ukita."

They all hold up their badges, except the girl at the end, who sighs and looks away. She's not stupid. I know that...

*Flashback*

"Lawliet!"She giggled, jiggling her legs up and down on the swing "Higher,Higher!" She yells.

"Ok, Ok!Give me a chance!" I pushed my black bangs off my face, laughing. After the swings, she demanded we go on the roundabout. After a whole day at the park, we ended laying on the field, staring at the stars.

"Lawliet. One day I want to be a amazing as you." She sighs.

"You already are, Maddie!" I exclaim, hugging her close to me.

" I love you, Lawliet."

" I love you too Maddie." Of course, at the time we meant and friends. I was 10, and she was 7. We both lived in Wammy' s orphanage, and we were best friends. She was all I had and I was all she had,and we like it that way. That was before I had to go.

*Flashback over*

It was...Maddie.

My rational mind took over, and I raised my hand torwards them.

"Bang!" I say flatly.

"Eh?!"

"What was that for?!" I wince at their stupidity. If they're not better than this on the case...Well.

"If I were Kira, you would be dead Mr. Aizawa of the NPA." I explain."Now please come in." They obey and wander in my drab hotel room, Maddie last, more cautiously.

"Please, sit" All the men do so, except Maddie.

"I'll stand thank you." Well, if she remembers me, which I deduct is a 97% chance, she's hiding it well. But so am I...She knows how to act in surprise situations. This is going to be one long meeting
