L Seeks Help From A…
Please note that Zora is just a character I made up for this story. She's Irish but I do not attend to offend anyone with her background.
Zora woke up to her phone ringing wildly. She moaned and looked at her digital clock, three in the morning. She cursed and pulled herself out of bed.
Zora was a twenty-two year old Irish girl who moved to England a few years ago, she lives alone and has a history she doesn't want to talk about. By the time she got to the phone she was a zombie, she moaned as her greeting and waited for an answer.
The voice sounded like a computer voice, this voice rang a bell to her.
"Zora?" the voice called out to her,
"Yep, who is this?" she leaned against the wall and yawned.
"I cannot say over the phone, I need you to come over to Japan ASAP. I…I need your help" the voice said.
"With what? Who is this?" she started to become more aware, she gripped the phone harder.
"I need you to come to Japan tomorrow, I'll send you a private jet and pay for the travel. There will be a man waiting for you, he will say…Apples" click.
"What!" all she heard was the tone that someone hung up, she placed the phone on the hook and began to think about what to do. That voice…the computer voice, it sounds so familiar.
She sat on her bed and decided that she'll go, she doesn't know why she wants to, she feels she needs too…
At the airport…
There was indeed a man who walked up to her and said apples. She looked at the man, he wore all black and was very old, he looked familiar as well. He didn't make her go through security, instead they went to an abandon airport and soon enough…she was in Japan.
She hasn't been here since…then…
The man didn't talk much, which made the trip very boring on her case. She played with her long red hair most of the trip. She watched the buildings go by when she was in a limo.
Another guy carried her bags up as the older man led her to a hotel room, one of the more fancier hotels of the city. Her heart was pounding, what was going to happen? Who sent for her? Why? The older man slowly opened the door and took off his hat like a gentle men, he didn't enter, he instead opened the door for Zora, she thanked him and slowly walked into the room.
"Law-" he cut her off,
"No, my name is L" L told her, he smiled nicely and made his way over to her. He looked the same to her after all those years, never gained a pound, still looks like he never sleeps, no socks. Same ol' same ol'
She smiled back and hugged him tightly, its been about three maybe four years since she seen him. He hugged back at equal strength and said it was nice to see her again. Watari bowed to her as she did a slight bow to him,
"Its nice to see you again young lady" he said as he made his way over to a metal tray on a glass coffee table. He slowly walked back over and handed her a glass of tea.
"Thank you, Watari" L said and guided her to the couch. She sat with her legs under her and she always does just as L always sits on his feet. He pulled a glass of tea up onto his knee and turned the laptop towards her,
"Kira? Yeah I heard of him" she nodded as she read the information off the screen.
"Good, so I don't have to fill you in on much details" he nodded and took a sip,
"Yeah, it kills criminals, that scares the crap out of me" she shook her head as a shiver went down her spine.
He nodded again and said he already has a suspect. She nodded and asked who it was,
"Light Yagami, son of the Chief of police" he turned to her to see her reaction, she nodded and asked,
"Let me guess, he's hacking into his dad's computer to get information?"
"How did you?" he looked amazed, she shrugged her shoulders and said it was guess.
"Well, yes, I have the same theory, anyway he has joined the police force and joined me to help find Kira, but I know its him" he bit the tip of his thumb.
"So why do you need me?" she asked with a raised brow, with a sigh he replied,
"I don't want to admit this, but I need your mind set on this case, no offence of course." She nodded and didn't take it as a bad thing.
"By the way, they're on their way here now" he added.
"What?!" she jumped off the couch and began to panic, she placed the glass of tea down nicely and asked if this was some sort of trap.
"They're not going to know who you are or your history, so from now on you'll call yourself Z. And no matter what, do not tell Light, or anyone, about your history" he stood and looked at her in the eyes. She couldn't help but to blush a little, years ago she always had a little crush on him.
"Got me?" he asked, she nodded and took a deep breath. There was a knock on the door,
"Let them in" L nodded and looked down at Z, she had a nervous look on her face as she slowly turned to the door. Waiting to see what will happen next…
