This time when everyone piled into a car, Soichiro chose to drive. He didn't want L behind the wheel of his own car (for obvious reasons). L took shotgun as he got into the car with a plate of fresh-baked cookies from Light's mom. Matt and Near again took the backseat but were less petrified than before when L was driving.

Getting behind the wheel of the car Soichiro asked L, "So, which jail have they gotten themselves thrown into?"

"Oh, the one downtown in the cell block run by Demigawa. A pretty tight squeeze in the cells there and Light claims that the faucet won't stop dripping."

"Ugh, Demigawa's prison...Why that one of all the ones in Japan? I'm going to catch hell trying to get them out of there." Soichiro said as he backed out of the yard and started on his way to the jailhouse.

"Why is that? Don't you know him relatively well?" Matt asked as he waved L's offer of a cookie away from his face. His stomach was still churning from L's driving and Near still wore two seatbelts across his chest.

"It's going to be hard because when Demigawa arrests people he tries to keep them for as long as possible, it means he gets more money. The only way to get him to let those three go is to convince him he's going to get into some trouble by having them in there." Soichiro replied as he pulled up to the jail.

Matsuda spotted them as soon as they all entered the cell block. "Chief! Hey Chief!" Matsuda called excitedly waving his hands in between the cell bars. "Light, Light! Look it's the Chief and he's come to get us out. Finally!"

Light stood up at the sound of his dad's voice. He shoved Matsuda (rather roughly) to the side and put his face out of the bars as far as it would go. As soon as he got close Light yelled to L, "You called my DAD!? Dammit L, I didn't want him to know about this! And why is the silver-haired runt here!?"

Mello ran up to the bars at the mention of a 'silver-haired runt'. "Near's here? Man, I've never been so glad to see the little freak in all my life. And Matt's here too! GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

All the commotion woke Demigawa from the nap he was taking at his desk. Rubbing his eyes, Demigawa got up to greet the people who just walked in. When he noticed L he immediately put on his sternest police officer face. "L sir! What brings you back to my fine-tuned cell block? Another criminal?"

"Actually no Demigawa. I'm here for a different reason entirely. I'm sure you've met Soichiro before, right? Well, he's here to inspect your jail and the way you run it." L replied as Soichiro stepped forward to address Demigawa.

Demigawa took one look at Soichiro and swallowed. He didn't like the man one bit and it was only because he could spot all his broken regulations from a mile away. "So-Soi-Soichiro... Hey long time, no see. Bust any criminals lately?"

Soichiro ignored Demigawa's small talk and started inspecting the area around Demigawa's desk. "I see you still haven't cleaned your work station the last time I was here." He said coldly glancing around.

"And how would you prove that, Big Shot?" Demigawa asked, crossing his arms. "Where's your proof?"

"My proof is that the same doughnut you dropped on the ground two months ago is still there. And there's a nest of spiders in them."

At the mention of spiders, Matsuda immediately jumped onto the top of the bunk and started looking around him. Near and Matt also took some steps back from the desk. Spiders were not their forte.

Continuing with his inspection Soichiro turned to the cell in where his son was held captive. "Don't regulations state that there is to be one person per cell, Demigawa? That can get you probation, you know."

"Well, uh, ah, really there was no place else to put the other two. Ya know, leaks in the other cells. Besides they don't mind being together." Demigawa murmmered softly.

"LIKE HELL WE DO!" Mello yelled at Demigawa from behind the bars. "I don't have a place to SLEEP and Pops snores like a damn sailor!"

"Is that true, Mello? Well, what about you two? Got any other complaints that Demigawa hasn't delt with like a true officer should?" Soichiro asked pointedly giving Demigawa his demonic stare.

Light immediately let his #1 complaint be known. "THE FAUCET. That DAMN FAUCET! It won't stop leaking! And the bastard over there refuses to fix it!"

"And there's no TOILET PAPER!" Matsuda whined from the bunk. "I've been holding it for the last week since I've been here and he doesn't want to give me anything! And I REALLY GOT TO GO!"

"And if I must say", Near said speaking up for the first time, "Even for a villiage idiot, Matsuda shouldn't have been in there as long as that because his crime wasn't that major and (I can't believe I'm saying this) neither was Light's. They should've been out days ago."

"Okay, okay. I admit I haven't been doing a good job with these guys and should've let those two go, but what about the yellow-haired one? He's WANTED for pete's sake! I'm keeping him." Demigawa argued.

"Oh, didn't I mention Demigawa?" L asked innocently from the other side of the room. "I didn't read all of Mello's Miranda rights to him. That means he shouldn't have been incarcerated. Oopsies." L shrugged.

Soichiro crossed his arms and glared at Demigawa. "Just wait until the head of the JPD gets a load of this. I have him on speed dial...unless you want to do the right thing and let my son and friends go? Right?" He said smugly taking out his phone and pretending to dial numbers.

"Alright, alright! I'll let 'em go! Don't tell, please, I need this job! Look see, I'm doing it now!" Demigawa babbled as he got his keys and unlocked the cell door for Light and the others.

After all the paperwork was sorted, Soichiro had everyone pack into the car so they could get back home. "I hope I never have to see you all in jail again, especially you Light. I mean, really, all this commotion- WHAT MATSUDA!?" Soichiro said irritatedly since Matsuda was tapping his shoulder.

"Um, ah, Chief? I still got to go. Like...RIGHT NOW!"

Well, that's it for the jail story. Thanks again to all those that read and reviewed. This will probably be my last Death Note fanfic for awhile until I think of more goofy stuff. I might just do something OnePiece, Kuroshitsuji, or Bleach...

Let's hope Matsuda gets to the bathroom in time...XD
