"Why now though? You've just got your new job! Why now? That's what I don't understand."
"Stop complaining Nicki. I mean, so what? I'm getting out of here one way or another." With that Jaq climbed out of the window onto the little ledge with ease. She looked over the lights of the city, just like the city's protector, scanning for place to stay. Jaq dragged her bag into the finger-like branches of the tree. With a quick goodbye, and a silent prayer, she sprung from the ledge like a tiger after its prey, into the very same tree.
"L, you know, you should stop eating all that sugary food. I'm worried." Raito's brilliant eyes shone with tears threatening to spill over.
"Raito-Kun, I am 25, I have consumed this much sugar for so long. I'm 100% certain I can eat a few more." L turned his attention back to his strawberry cheese cake.
Watari appeared rather suddenly in the doorway.
"L, we seem to have a problem. Something quite serious."
L's quizzing charcoal eyes ran over Watari, analysing the statement. "Such as?"
" A Child has disappeared from Whammy's. Last night. They cant find her and they would like your help."
"Watari, prepare the needed transport, we leave in 10 minutes, just enough time for you to get ready, Raito-Kun."
Jaq walked through the streets, hands in her pockets, her bag slung over her shoulder. The white lights flickered. Jaq's footsteps echoed. She came to the deserted alley, the first place she had been beaten. She crouched in a foetal position, resting her chin on her knees. A loud crash of thunder rolled from above. The rain gave no warning as Jaq became drenched. She hummed to herself, gently closing her eyes, drifting into a dream of worry as to when she would see her friends again.
