Light stared at the television and at the hunched form of Lind L Tailor, "It could have been fun L, if only you'd been a little smarter." At that his television switched to a large L and a encrypted voice spoke out "I am L." Light blanched he just killed L... hadn't he?
Mimic was watching the television "Way to go L, kill someone else... I suppose that means that my assumptions were correct though, both L and Kira are here in Japan, and L has the cooperation of the police, that'll make getting information in more difficult for me, I suppose." She sighed, this was the reason she never took popular cases; L would be working on them and there was no way she wanted to see him or alert him to her presence. She took out her laptop and opened the protected files labelled 'Kira' and updated them, checking the knowledge she'd gained so far. "Judging by the times of death Kira could be a student... or maybe a teacher, though taking into account his childish reaction to L's ploy and the naïve concept of justice he is much more likely to be a student." Mimic smiled wondering if L had gotten this far yet but shook her head knowing that he would of taken everything into account, well everything except her. She stretched and continued trailing for her information checking and somewhat hoping that a vital piece of information would jump out, none did.
*knock, knock* Mimic's head shot towards the door, she shut down the laptop and got up. "Who would that be?" she thought out loud, she doubted that in this neighbourhood someone would say hello to a new neighbour but she didn't see any reason to be suspicious. She opened the door an inch to reveal a young woman with brown hair no older than 18, peering out Mimic smiled "Yes?"
The woman smiled back "Your new aren't you? My name's Cassey I live next door." the woman's bubbly demeanour would almost certainly annoy Mimic if she were to spend time with her.
"Ah, well, hi. I don't mean to be rude but I'm really busy unpacking so..." Mimic went to shut the door but the young woman stopped her. "Was there something you wanted?" Mimic asked wondering why this woman was being so persistent.
The woman frowned "You didn't tell me your name and I was going to give you these cupcakes.." she lifted a plate of iced cupcakes that until now had gone unnoticed "I mean I understand if you are busy" the girl added quickly smiling once again.
"You can call me Misty and I'm sorry but I don't really like cupcakes. Perhaps we can talk another time though, when I'm not unpacking." To be honest Mimic was hoping this woman would just leave and not come back.
The woman nodded happily "Well, bye Misty" she cheered merrily before skipping down to her own apartment.
Mimic shut the door and one thought crossed her mind, that woman will be back, and with that she shuddered "Oh, how happy people annoy me so."
Mimic returned to her position on the couch and crossed her legs, glancing at the abandoned laptop she knew there would be no more progression in the case tonight.
"Well, L, it seems your plan worked." Matsuda commented happily.
The computer didn't respond, his plan had worked yes, now he knew without a doubt that Kira was in Japan and that he would require a face or a name to kill, perhaps even both.
L continued to watch the detectives working giving input when he thought it was necessary but mostly he was thinking and planning for all the possibilities. He noticed some discussion going on about why Kira was killing at the same times every day bar weekends and holidays. "Perhaps he is a student." L supplied.
The chief nodded in thought "I would not like to think that sir, to think someone so young could kill so easily is... worrying, it could just as easily be a teacher." Some other detectives muttered in agreement.
L knew that despite the chiefs input the possibility of Kira being a student would still be filed away just in case, he also knew that it was much more likely Kira was a student but he could not be bothered to explain it to the detectives. At that he stood up and wandered to the kitchen for something sweet or filled with caffeine anything to keep him awake so his mind would not wonder; wonder away from the case to the death of his parents, his successors. At this time L knew that all the original successors had well... failed, he pushed the thought from his mind and refocused on Kira.
