BB-

After the meeting I'm dropped off at the hotel, and then I run over to Skylar's apartment. I walk in and close the door slowly once I hear it click I start talking still facing the door "I have two questions. 1st one is why the hell did you join the case?" I couldn't help but get mad. This put Skylar at serious risk. "Because, I'm tired of being stuck in the apartment all day, this way I can be up to date with what's going on and help you out... Don't you want me to work with you?" I sigh, I guess she is right. After the tutoring she is a hell of a lot smarter than she used to be, it would help tremendously if she works on the case. Plus, it would look a bit off for her to turn Naomi down. "Actually, it would be great if you worked on it also, would make my job a whole lot easier." I mutter as I turn around. She has a small smile on her face, she honestly looks proud of herself for being able to help me.

"Ok, what's the next question?" she chirps. I look at her with a sad/confused expression on my face, "You saw the files, you saw what I did and it scared you. Don't tell me it didn't, I saw it in your eyes. But when Naomi asked you how you felt about me, you said it didn't change how you felt. You still love me, why?" she gives me a blank look like it was the most blatant question in the world. "Beyond, I'll always love you. Yes, I'll admit what I saw on the files were a bit… disturbing. But I trust that you had your reasons and if you didn't well that's just who you are." Then she gives me a comforting smile. I walk over there and pull her out of her chair and into an embrace. I mutter into her hair "I don't know what I did to get you but I'm pretty sure I don't deserve it." She wraps her arms around my neck and lays her head on my shoulder and says in a soft voice, "Please don't say that. You make me happy and I make you happy that's all that matters." I pull away, "Ok but before we get off topic, I have 2 conditions for you to work with me. 1st it if something goes wrong and I get caught and they ask you if you knew that I was posing as L, you say no, that you had no idea. Got it?" she nods her head "And the 2nd condition?" I slide my hands down her arms "Please be careful." She giggles and nods "I always am." I roll my eyes, Yeah right. After that we went to bed, I fell to sleep with the sweet scent of her hair, cherries.


Skylar-

Everything was great, me, and BB working together tricking the FBI. Yeah I'll admit the guilt of deceiving Naomi ate me from the inside out. She really was a nice person, and her boyfriend Raye wasn't half bad either. But hey all I'm doing is covering up for BB it's not like I did the murders, that doesn't make me a bad person, right? I mean BB isn't a bad guy, he's a great guy, it's just I guess he is used to being able to do this sorta stuff. I always wondered what a crime scene looked like in real life; I only saw them in TV shows. Well, today I got to see one. "BB was at it again, this time it's a 28-year old female, an accountant at the local bank." Naomi said barging in the room slamming the files on the table. "What would the killer want with a banker?" I couldn't help but ask, out of all things…a banker? BB really didn't seem to care about money. "Well, Miss. Michaels, BB really doesn't have any connections to the victims he just finds a target and kills it. Anyway come with me in one of the squad cars we have to get to the scene pronto. L said he would meet us there." Naomi twirls the keys in her hand then snatches it and we run to the squad car. It's sort of weird being called 'Miss. Michaels' it kind of makes me feel old.

It doesn't take us long to get there, but that doesn't surprise me Naomi was practically flying down the road. Reminded me of an old car game I use to play but instead of cops chasing me, I was the cop. "Hello Misora, Michaels." It comes from a monotone voice behind us, BB well, BB as L. "Hello L, did you check inside yet?" I ask in my most professional tone. I'm trying not to look like a total idiot, I'm not a real FBI agent more on the lines of a recruit I'm still too young to be a full blown agent. "Yes, I have, but I'll warn you it's quite messy in there." BB states bluntly. When Naomi pulls out a flashlight and head for the door with her back to us BB gives me an apologetic look. I give him a quick comforting smile then pulls out my flashlight and follow Naomi. I almost lost my lunch when I entered the gorey scene. Blood was all over the walls and two Wara Ningyo (straw dolls) were nailed to the wall in a similar patterned of those in the photos from the other two files. Then there was the body in the center of the room. She was missing her right leg and left arm. "I wonder where her other limbs are…" I here Naomi mutter under her breath. I go up the stairs and see a trail of crimson fluid and it leads to the bathroom. I regret following the path because when I open the door I find the woman's leg in the tub. I scream and fall back, BB and Naomi come running up the stairs "Skylar are you ok?!" BB says monotone but urgently. He crouched next to me and supports my back when I sit up. My left arm props me up while I point toward the bathroom with my right "I-I think I found her leg…." I stutter. I know I shouldn't be acting like this around BB; he'll start blaming himself for why I'm frightened. Naomi walks towards it and shines the flashlight on it. "Uh, good job Sky. I think this will do for tonight. L, can we go home now?" She turns around and looks at BB who has his head down. "Yes, that is enough for the night you may leave." BB is still mimicking L's way of speaking but I can sense the sadness behind it. I've hurt him…. He probably thinks he is a monster now. I resist the urge to throw my arms around him and tell him everything is ok.

Once we are back at my apartment I get even more worried BB hasn't said a thing and he keeps staring at the ground. "Beyond are you alright?" I know the answer but I would like for him to tell me. "I'm fine…" he lifts his hands and stares at them. I can't take this anymore I hate seeing him like this. I run over and hug him as tight as I possibly can. "It's not your fault ok? Yes, the severed leg freaked me out, who wouldn't be? I still love you and it hurts to see you like this." I say it on the verge of tears. It's true I felt like my heart was about to fall out of my chest seeing him like this. He wraps his arms around my waist and buries his head on my stomach muttering something that sounds like 'I'm sorry' over and over. I pat his head, saying softly "It's ok; don't beat yourself up over it. Let's go to bed its late.

We have the next day off so we got to sleep in. Which was nice, waking up at 7 in the morning was kind of annoying. BB was acting strange though really strange, even for him. He got up this morning and received a text from Naomi, ever since then he seemed a bit… off. I asked him what it was and he refused to tell me. About 30 minutes ago he left to go get something at the store, I don't know for what though. Where is he, how long is this going to take? As if on cue I see BB walk through the door and sit on the bed beside me. He pulls out a little plush black bear from the bag, it had a dark grey snout and red nose and little red animal mouth, and it had on large sewn in button for an eye that was red and a small grey button sewn in for the other eye and it was holding a red cloth rose in its paws. It was really soft like micro-plush or something. "Girls, like stuff like that right?" BB asks with one of his cheeks raised. "Yeah, thanks Beyond I love it." I lean over and kiss him on the cheek, "What's it for?" I ask admiring the bear, it seemed so huggable too. "For helping me like you did, and always loving me even when you saw the things I've done." He said twiddling his thumbs. I put the bear down and hugged him "You know for a killer you're really sweet." I said with a giggle. He pulled me up for a kiss. He moved his mouth against mine and then all of a sudden he was on top of me. Oh God, this again? I had enough guilt having sex with him the 1st time. If my grandmother found out she would have a heart attack. But I sense something, he still was upset. Right when he was pulling my shirt off, I grabbed his hand. "Wait; tell me what's wrong first." I won't let him dodge it this time. He sighs "Naomi texted me, I think she is close to solving the case, so this might be the last night I'll have with you." Right, if they find out he is the killer then he will have to find a new place to hide. "Oh…." That's all I can say. "Now shush." And that all he says before we have another wild night.


BB-

I make sure I get up early; I pack up my disguise for L and put it away. I don't need it anymore. Ever since I read that text from Naomi it was obvious that she knew I was BB. So know she will see how I really look now, she should feel privileged she and Skylar will be the only ones who know how I really look after today. Skylar…. I hope she'll find it in her heart to forgive me. I grab a gallon of kerosene and a box of matches and put it in the black bag. After I have everything situated, I peak my head into Skylar's room and see her fast asleep, her hair is matted and her shoulders are bare. I lean down move her red velvet hair out of her face and kiss her forehead. I leave her a note explaining what will happen today, and how much I love her. Please Sky, don't hate me for this. Then I leave, the farther I get from her house the more I feel my sanity begin to slip. They will never catch me. L will never solve this case, I swear to it. Once I'm in the room where I told Naomi today big event will be I take out the kerosene and douse it over my black shirt. Then light the match just before I throw it on my shirt I hear something banging on the window. It's Skylar. She seemed to be crying and shaking her head. I give her a small apologetic smile. Then I throw the match and I feel the flames ignite.
