So hey, Chapter 2! I hope the portrayal of L goes okay! And that you like my extra character :) *prays people read and review!* 3 Thank you!


Chapter 2...

The men filed through, one by one. Each mans steps filled with hesitantly restrained excitement. I was at the back; therefore I could not see him. The last to enter, I stepped forward. Next to Mogi, as Yagami entered first, then Matsuda, Aizawa, Ukita, finally Mogi and I. There was a kind of stunned silence at the figure presenting himself, I must admit, I was even slightly shocked. I hadn't tried picturing him but then, I guess I still had different expectations.
Pitch black, messy and relatively spiky hair. Pale complexion, however his skin was spotless, like porcelain. My eyes travelled down his face, taking in his visage. Deep set, dark eyes with equally as dark rims, giving away that L does not sleep. Anyone could deduce that much from his meagre appearance. His attire was simple, long armed white shirt with simple baggy jeans, no socks, no shoes. His stance showed a slight, casual hunch, but his eyes had an intensity which burned through each member of the task force as he made a quick assessment sent on files and face value.
Soichiro Yagami spoke first, quick to gain trust and for breaking the silence with introduction.

"I'm detective superintendant Yagami of the NPA." He said, holding up his badge, the rest followed.

"I'm Matsuda."

"I'm Aizawa."

"I'm Ukita."

"I'm Mogi."

Then it was me. I scoffed internally at the morose idea of giving my real name.

"You can wait. I haven't decided who I am yet." Someone should have probably warned L that I'm not usually the most compliant or sedate, and as the only woman here I have to be strong.

Our eyes met, a small smile playing on his lips. Still, it was only a second as he preceded with a point he was to prove...

His fingers formed in the shape of a gun, pointed directly at Yagami and the task force, "BANG!"...

The task forced riled, shifting nervously, and some angrily.

"Huh? What's the idea in that?!" Matsuda exclaimed.

"Is this your idea of a joke?!" Aizawa followed.

L replied, "If I was Kira, you'd be dead. Except for Miss No Name." His eyes flashed toward me again. "All Kira needs to murder someone is knowledge of their name and their face. You ought to know that by now. Common sense says that you can't kill anybody just by knowing their name and face. But, fact is criminals are dropping dead one after the other on the basis of that information alone. That is how he murders people, we have no choice but to believe it. We're the only ones left who are willing to risk their lives for this. So let's be careful about telling people our names. Let's value our lives."

He turned away from the task force and headed to the sitting area. Everyone stood there stunned, I was guessing they were shocked at confirmation of their mere speculation about the name and face killing ingredients.
Matsuda's panicked expression leaked out into his proverbial.

"He has to know their names?! I knew about the faces but nobody mentioned names!"

Great. Brain of the month, nice, but brainless.

"Matsuda, calm down, Every major criminal whose name is unknown, or is spelt wrong, still remains alive, therefore it goes without saying that Kira is limited by not knowing a persons name. This should really make you feel more at ease considering he now doesn't just need your face to kill you, he also needs your name." I said, walking after L, expecting the rest to follow suit but I guess they still felt more than happy to stand there and continue to speculate on the situation. Man it took these guys a long time, I had already figured out the exits. There was an emergency staircase next to the lift, the stairs themselves are a good escape route, the lift has good use if not broken. The windows were not of good escaping as there was nothing beneath. Well, if you don't care about your life then the window's always an option however this is not the point of the Kira case...
Nevertheless, they were now chatting amongst themselves at the doorway. Morons.
"But if that's the only basis..."
"Yeah I never thought..."
"I'm much more worried now that..."
"Oh no, what if..."
It was infuriating! I could swear I was going to shout.. "Hey guys! Why don't you..." A hand rested on my shoulder, burning an electrical pulse down my spine, I stopped talking and turned to face L, my eyes finding his above my own, he did a small half smile again before looking back up and began speaking himself. I exhaled, not even remembering when I'd stop breathing...

"Rather than standing around talking, why don't we move over here." He said calmly, and half turned again, stopped, and re-addressed the men. "Please turn off your cell phones, laptops and any other electronics you might have and place it on that table over there please."

Each of the men shuffled forward toward the table, placing their mobile's and electrical onto it's surface.

"...You think we might have our cell phones on talk mode so that someone outside could monitor our conversation..." Aizawa started..

"Just do as he says Aizawa." Yagami said bluntly.

"We all knew he was cautious but this makes me wonder if he really trusts us or not." Matsuda continued.

"Would you?" I asked Matsuda, tired of his foolish comments.

"Would I what?" he asked, eyes wide with surprise.

"Well, would you really place your trust into several people you have only just met, the only information you really have is that on a computer screen? Even so, perhaps all your records are clean that doesn't stop there being an opportunity for a mole, any one of us could easily be Kira, what with the trace being so tidy and his killing method using that of a name and a face. Regardless, any one of us could be working with or for Kira. The reasoning just goes on, this is just the basics." I finished.

"It's not that, I just can't stand when someone cell phone rings when I'm talking, It's just so off-putting. No-Name certainly strikes several good points though." L finished...
