Wammy's House: The First Case
"I'm tired of always being second place to you!" Yelled Mello, so that all the orphanage could hear.
"People who can't win are simply losers" Said Near, as he, once again, dumped the pieces of his puzzle onto the ground.
"You always do this! You act like you don't even care about anyone else!"
"Boys" Said Roger, the manager of the orphanage, as he walked calmly in, as if used to all the shouting.
"What is it!" Mello screamed across the room.
"You have a visitor"
"We what? Is it important?"
"They wouldn't bother coming if it wasn't important" Near said, as he stood up, and collected his many toys.
When they got into the office, they saw a strange man standing there. He had black, spikey hair, wore jeans, a white shirt, and no shoes. "Who're you?" asked Mello, while crunching on a piece of chocolate he had in his pocket.
"I, am L"
"ahh…so you're the L we always hear about," Near said, while putting his puzzle back together once more, "it's nice to finally meet you"
"to you as well" L murmered "I thought you said there were 3 of them"
"Oh yes, I shall get Matt straight away" said Roger.
"thank you" L said "excuse me, Mello is it? Do you have anymore of that chocolate?" Mello stood up and said "NO! Is this even important?"
"Mello, it's completely obvious your overwhelmed by meeting L, don't try to hide it." Near remarked. Just then, the manager walked in with yet another young boy.
"Guess I should do introductions, eh?" He said.
"Yea, sure, whatever" Mello mumbled.
"Well, the boy in the white is Near, the boy with the blond hair is Mello, and this is Matt," In his hand, Matt was holding a PSP. He simply looked up at L for a moment, before returning to his game.
"Roger…" he said.
"Yes?"
"Who is this?"
"This, is L"
"Oh," and then Matt went back to his game.
"I'm sorry for their behaviour, L" Said Roger, sympathetically.
"It's quite all right. At their age I wasn't much interseted in others either"
"That, you weren't"
"Is someone gonna tell me what this is about?" the impatient blond bellowed.
"We just thought L should meet his succesors"
"That's not all, is it?" asked Near.
"That's Near for you, he's incredibly good at drawing conclusions from pre-existing data"
"ahh…very good!" remarked the great detective "your right Near, it's not"
"Couldn't you have just told us that?" Matt mentioned. Everyone stood amazed at the fact that he was actually paying attention. "What? I was paying attention!" He said "So, why is L here? Of course, it's not like we didn't want to meet you"
"Good, now, if we could take a seat in the meeting room" L said, as he walked into the adjoining meeting room. "Oh, and please leave your things here, I hate when people get distracted while I'm talking to them" After they dumped their thing onto the table, they continued into the meeting room.
"Now, what's this about?" Matt and Mello asked, simatamesoly.
"Well, I'm sure your very aware that on the event of my death, on of you are to become my succesors"
"Yes, we are aware" said Near.
"Good, I want to invite you on a trip to Canada"
"How is that beneficial?" asked Mello.
"I have been asked to take on a case there, however I would like you three to take it on instead"
"Then your not inviting us, your sending us" Mello said.
"No, I will be with you to help you, and over see"
"That…would be a disgrace" Near remarked. "I understand that we are to young to travel alone, but if we are not able to solve a case that you yourself find easy, we wouldn't be capable of being the second L"
"I didn't say I consider this case easy"
"You implied it by mentioning that you would like us to take it on, you wouldn't give us a case that you found difficult" Matt pointed out.
"Good observation" L said "anyhow, we will be leaving for Canada tomorrow"
"Tommorow! Isn't that a little soon?" asked Mello.
"Not at all" and with that, L left.
