Penber's POV
Raye Penber sat alone in a hotel room- apparently one of the higher ups wished to confront him about the Yagami kid he was hired to follow. It was odd to the man considering-he'd never been invited so formally to converse with such a high ranking person like L.
'Well, with people like Kira-it's no wonder things have begun to change.' He thought to himself.
All of a sudden the door to the room opened and an old man holding what would look like to be a laptop approached Penber and placed it front of him on the coffee table. Opening the device the screen lit up to a white screen with one-large capitalized cursive L on the screen. The elderly man then exited the room and left Penber alone with the computer.
"Greetings Raye Penber." A high-pitched voice said from the computer. "I am L."
Raye stared at the computer. "You wish to hear what I have gathered on the Yagami family?" Raye inquired.
"Yes." L confirmed. "In particularly the eldest Yagami child-Light."
Raye nodded and pulled out a small computerized file holder from the inside of his jacket. "Is it alright to forward these to you?" Raye asked holding the object up.
"Yes." L again confirmed to the man. Raye then hooked the file holder to the computer and began the transfer. Once L said he had received the files Raye began to explain what he had found.
"On the nights Light usually has off from night classes he stays home to study or spend time with his family. The other night Light changed his plans and I can confirm he had been sneaking out-going somewhere his parent's would not be comfortable with him going."
Through the screen L sat alone in a room staring at the files he had just printed off. Photos taken by Penber had proved Light had gone to the shady part of Tokyo, entered a building Penber had not been able to follow him into, and before going home he ducked into a public facility and changed into different clothing then what he left in. Additionally he had abandoned the clothes he changed out of in a alleyway dumpster.
"Are you satisfied with the information I have brought you?" Raye asked on the other side of the screen. L stayed quiet for a moment. "Yes." He said. "Tell me Penber. Is Naomi still doing investigative work."
"Not currently, but I know she misses it. Why?" Raye says.
"I would like to recruit the two of you-I would like for you to relay my request to her and I'll allow you a three day period to decide. Please, keep up your progress in the investigation of Light Yagami." L then logged off the computer and ordered Watari to contact the Japanese Task Force.
Light's POV
"What'd you call me here for Yagami?" A classmate-the same ruffian as before said as he entered Light's room.
"I'm sorry to tell you but you have two choices: start paying me for tutoring or stop using me for assignments." Light said from his desk.
"What's this about!" The ruffian hissed, obviously angry.
"You know about Kira correct?" Light asks.
"Yeah-who doesn't"
"My father-as a member of the police is being investigated just like the rest of the Task Force."
"What's that gotta do with me?"
"As someone who is committing a deed that could get both of us expelled-you don't want someone to find out so easily about it."
"What are you implying Yagami?" The boy asked sourly.
"The past few days I've been followed by a detective-courtesy of my father's position. We'll need to either start actual lessons together or you'll need to find someone else to do your work." Light said.
The male was surprised when Light told him he had been getting followed and thought for a moment.
"The only people actually smart enough to do my work are girls-and I can't get any of them to help me without telling Sensei." The ruffian conceded to the agreement. Light nodded and said he could leave.
"If you don't mind me asking..." Light looked to the male as he spoke, "How'd you know you're getting followed?" He asked.
Light looked at him and shook his head, "I have a credible source."
