Chapter 3:

The three girls sat in front of their computers eating eggs and bacon while watching the ICPO meeting from where Chiyo stood to the side, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.


At the meeting...

Chiyo was standing in the shadows holding a laptop. She looked to her side and noticed that another person dressed in a raincoat and dark hat that shadowed his face was standing in the shadows also. She wouldn't have noticed him except for the light glinting off a similar looking laptop in his hands. She could only assume that this was L's messanger.

"Good evening." She said.

"It is." He replied. "You must be with Nil, Meek and Lia." He said at once.

"Yes, and you with L." She stated simply.

"Of course." He had a smile in his voice. "Great minds think alike. I'm Watari."

"Undoubtedly." She agreed. "I'm Chi." She answered. "I'm only here so they don't have to risk their lives."

"Agreed." She had no idea how old L was, but at the way he said it this man must think of L as a son.

They both turned to the arguing delegates and wondered how much longer it would take them to come to the conclusion the two cloaked figures were waiting for.

"But didn't all the coroner's reports say 'heart attack of unknown origins'?" One of them asked.

"Such an imbiguous death doesn't mean anything to us." Another retorted.

"Yes, we might have been able to find something if it was, lets say a stabbing or something along those lines." Someone agreed.

"I think we should vote." Someone yelled.

"That settles it, we are going to need help to solve this one." The head of police announced. The whole room went into quiet whispers. "I have decided to call on L and Nil."

"But aren't they kind of picky about what cases they are willing to investigate?" Someone questioned.

"And how do we even contact them?" Another chimed.

"That's our cue." Watari whispered.

"L is already on the case." Watari stepped out of the shadows with Chiyo on his heels.

"As is Nil." She followed.

"Please be silent. L would now like to address the delegates, and I'm sure Nil would also." Watari ordered and Chiyo nodded to him. The both opened their laptops simultaneously. One showing only a letter L in the middle of the screen with a white background, and the other only showing a fuzzy screen.

'Nil isn't going to appreciate this.' Chiyo smiled to herself.

'L is not going to like this.' Watari looked just as pleased.

A distorted voice came out of both laptops. "Greetings, to all of you at the ICPO." L said.

"Good afternoon to everyone at the ICPO." Nil said at the same time and all was quiet as the two tried to figure out what was going on. "L." Nil said calmly. "Should have known you would have someone there."

"Yes, of course." L agreed. "As should have I, Nil." He said the name with a little abhorrence.

"I suppose you could best explain the sutuation." Nil compromised. "Please, go on."

L was a little astonished by the small praise, and began explaining. "Sorry about the interruption. But I believe the difficulty of this case lies in its unprecedented scope, and make no mistake we are witnessing an atrocious act of mass murder. One that is unforgiveable." He needed to make that clear. "This case cannot be solved without the full cooperation of the ICPO. That is, all of the police organizations you represent throughout the world. You need to make the decision to fully support the investigation. Also I require additional cooperation from Japans national police agency."

"Wha..?" A young policeman named Touta Matsuda stood along with the head of the Japanese police Soichiro Yagami.

"Why the Japanese police?" Soichiro asked in shock.

"Whether the guilty is party is an individual or a group there is a strong possibility that they are Japanese and if not we can be sure that they are hiding in Japan."

'So he knows as well.' Nil thought to herself a little disappointed.

"What is all this based on?" Soichiro asked. Nil rolled her eyes.

"Why Japan you ask." L went on. "I think I will be able to provide proof of that after I directly confront the culprit."

Even Nil was suprised by his explanation. "You are going to directly confront them?" Nil asked in her dull scratchy voice.

"Yes." L answered with a little trill of victory in his voice. "At any rate, I would like to set up the investigation headquarters in Japan."

A few seconds later Soichiro decided to agree to his demands, knowing full well that they needed his help along with Nils'.

"Nil, I would like you to keep me updated on any information you might come up with to help out with the case." L addressed her for the second time.

"Yes. I'm sure this goes both ways." She didn't say it as a question.

"Of course." He agreed. "The more help, the better."

"Do you have any associates that I might need to know about?" She asked doubting that he did. "I have two sister's that work with me."

"Yes, Meek and Lia, of course." He responded. "I also have two associates. Near and Mello are also located in Japan, but I am only in contact with Near for the time being."

"I wasn't expecting that." She said a little shocked. "You seem like a loner."

"Yes well, we don't really work together. They are actually my successors." He explained. "Anyways, Watari will be able to exchange contact information with your stand in, since I know you wouldn't be there in person."

"Very perceptive of you." Nil commended.

"Good move on your part." He also praised. "We will need all the privacy we can get if this person can kill from such distances."

"Yes, it is very odd."

"Very."

Both signed off at the same time and Watari and Chiyo exchanged information and went their separate ways.
