This chapter takes dialogue from Episode 8 of the anime. I don't own Death Note.

(January 5, 2007)

"That was footage from surveillance cameras at the station. The death of one of the FBI agents is captured on here." Aizawa stated as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, after staring at the monitor, sounding as exhausted as he looked.

It was a few days after our first meeting with the reduced Kira Taskforce, and we had a few of the men with us. Today it's Aizawa, Matsuda, and Mr. Yagami. Ukita and Mogi were working from the station today.

Yesterday we obtained footage from the subway station of Raye Penbers final moments. We decided to wait and watch them with the others for extra eyes.

L wanted to go over the scenes involving Raye Penber, starting with him passing through the ticket gate, boarding the train and his death after exiting the train.

Aizawa was going through the various tapes on the floor, while Matsuda was going over the written records.

"Raye Penber entered the station through the West gate at Shinjuku at 3:11 pm, and boards a train on the Yamanote line at 3:13. He gets off the train at 4:42 at the Tokyo station, where he dies of a heart attack on the platform."

L And I both found it strange that He would spend 90 minutes on a train that only takes 60 minutes to complete its circuit. He is the one to speak up, because I'm too busy trying to figure out why.

He also points out that Raye Penber was holding an envelope when he was passing the ticket gate, but it wasn't on him when he died.

I hadn't noticed the envelope, so I added that to the theories going on in my head.

L also points out that he appears to be straining to look into the train as the doors close.

"What if Kira was on the train?" I ask, startling the officers, who must've forgotten I was here due to my silence. L merely glanced at me with a confused look.

"That's impossible!" Mr. Yagami.

"I admit I find it hard to believe as well." L states. I glanced down, secretly hurt that he would dismiss my thoughts so easily. Normally he would at least head me out before stating how unlikely my theory sounds.

"I know Kira doesn't need to be there to kill someone if he has their name and face. But how else would you explain the envelope and Raye Penber's death? Not to mention the deaths of all the other agents." I paused, letting it sink in as I ate some of my life cream. Even L looked surprised at my thoughts.

"The FBI agents were not told who all were going to be here. The only person who supposed to know what agents were in Japan was the lead investigator, who would've been the only person in contact, through a computer of course, to the agents. We set it up like that in case Kira noticed the agent following him and decided to kill him. The other agents should have been safe from Kira." I continued after a moment.

"When you put it that way it could make sense. Perhaps Kira was counting on us to make that assumption and figured he could get away with such a bold move." L replies, leaving everyone thoughtful. I go back to thinking about my theories.

If Kira was at the station, it's possible that the envelope was from him. Which means Raye Penber would have run into him before passing the ticket gate. And that Kira was also on the train, maybe watching Penber, but mostly to get the envelope back.

Which means that Kira must of had some sort of communication device hidden in the envelope to tell him what to do.

I was startled out of my thoughts when Watari spoke up, telling L that Ukita was on the phone. L told Watari to have him call Matsuda's cell number. He then turned to the young officer, telling him to turn his cellphone on right away. I nearly chuckled at Matsuda's annoyed expression when L took his phone the second it started ringing.

"This is Suzuki, head of Kira Investigation public information division." L pauses to listen to the caller. His eyes widened. "Raye Penbers fiancee?" He turns to Watari who is on a laptop. "Naomi Misora." Another pause, I stand up to look over Wataris shoulder as he pulls up her profile. She was an FBI agent we had worked with a few years ago, during the Los Angeles BB murder case.

"So it's her." L murmurs. He hangs up a moment later. "Apparently she went missing the day after her fiance death."

"I'm sure anyone in her position would be pretty depressed. Was it?" Mastuda started.

"Suicide?" Aizawa sighs.

"No. The Naomi Misora we knew was strong. Not to mention an excellent FBI agent. It would be more likely that she would have been investigating his death." He murmured as he walked past us, before stopping and starting at his bare feet. "It appears that she came to Japan with her fiancee. It's possible that she had found a lead." He trails off in thought. The room is quiet for a moment before the detective turns his head towards us.

"Everyone, at this point I would like to focus on only the people Raye Penber was tailing. In Particular, there were two officers, and those closest to them." He stated, and I walked over to the window, knowing where this was going. I kept an eye on my boyfriend though, as he turned back around to face us as he brought up the plan to place cameras and wiretaps in both homes.

L And I had been talking about this for a few days now, and I knew there was going to be an explosion of anger when he finally brought this topic up.

His decision to place surveillance cameras in the Yagami house was met with the expected anger. Not only from Mr. Yagami who didn't like the fact that his family was under suspicion, but also Aizawa, due to the illegality of the decision. Stating that if it got out they could loss their jobs.

"You told me that you'd be willing to risk your lives for this investigation, but you're not willing to risk your jobs?" He asked the men with a sharp side glance. I turned away from the window to watch the men in the room.

L was asked what he felt was the likelihood of Kira been in one of those households. He responded with a 5% chance. I knew that was a lie; we both knew that Kira was very likely to be in one of those households. He told me he was over 90% sure of this.

I decided that he was probably giving them a low percentage to ease the men, something that he wouldn't normally do, being rather blunt with his thoughts.

He is worried that telling Mr. Yagami the truth about the likelihood would cause us to lose the willing assistance from him, and more than likely the rest of the men.

Mr. Yagami ultimately agreed to do it, and not to leave any blind spots, even in the bathroom. He was more accepting then I expected, His anger much more short lived then I would have been in his position. It was Aizawa that was the most angered at the violation of rights, and the chief calmed him, telling him that he was agreeing with it in order to either catch Kira or prove that Kira is not among his family.

He told my boyfriend to include me in on the bathroom watch when his wife or daughter was in there, because it made him feel better having a woman watching them rather than just men. He also wanted me in on their bedrooms whenever they were changing. That would leave the other men to take turns watching the Kitamura households.

Surveillance will begin in a few days, which should give Watari enough time to set everything up in the two households, not to mention the fact that we will soon change hotels.
