(Author's note: XD The first song that came up on my shuffle was 'Smooth Criminal,' by Alien Ant Farm. For a minute I wondered how I could even remotely make it have anything to do with Death Note, but then making it one of L's cases came to mind! :D Enjoy!)
L could remember the very first case he'd ever worked on.
It wasn't particularly complicated, but he found it interesting in the most horrifying way. He could remember being taken to the crime scene, studying the deep red stains on the carpet in the woman's apartment. He remembered idly thinking the cause of death was most likely blunt trauma to the head.
The whole thing had been calm and calculated. He didn't have to get involved, just look at the facts and the evidence.
Then they took him to see the body.
His eyes were as wide as ever as he looked over the woman's corpse, chewing his thumbnail. He quickly noted that the defensive wounds on her arms were probably caused by the knife found at the scene of the crime and confirmed the cause of death before hurrying out of the room. Even he couldn't stay detached from seeing something like that right in front of him; the woman's hair mottled and matted with blood, her face still contorted in fear. A small tag tied to her toe read 'Annie .'
After that day, L never once failed to put any criminal he pursued behind bars.
