Chapter nine:
The next day….
Near awakens to a roar of thunder. He sits up and looks out the window seeing a thunder storm and just in time to see a flash of lightning. He gets up not noticing the blanket also on Mello slip a little off of his shoulder.
Mello awakens a little later when a thunder roar shakes the earth a little. "Guess we went to the café in the right time yesterday." He mumbles then he rolls over and finds that Near is gone. He can smell some kind of yummy breakfast though and a distance sound of the news on probably on the TV. He knows Near probably just wants to listen to the weather since it will help if they get a mission today.
Though Mello just is more looking forward to the breakfast.
…..
L is typing away on his laptop.
Light comes into the room and looks out the window as there is a flash. "A thunderstorm huh?" He questions.
"Expected to last all day." L hums in response as he continues to work.
"Ah." Light nods and goes over to the closed laptop. He sits on the love seat and opens the laptop. He opens a message only to scroll through it reading it. "Seems that our work was a big help."
"That's good." L says.
"But we have another." Light looks up to L.
L shrugs not really minding.
"Don't we have so much already?" Light sighs.
"Well I can take it on if you have enough work as is." L says glancing to Light as he pauses in his work.
Light shakes his head. "Don't worry about it." He begins typing on his laptop.
"If you're sure." L turns back to his own laptop.
There is a few moments of silent working.
Then L breaks it. "What is the work?" He asks.
"Well it is our thoughts on an accident. They want us to confirm if we believe it was an accident or not." Light explains. "Business man fell off the roof and one of the other employees think that it isn't because of the loose railing that was found pooped off of the rest of the railing on one side." He shakes his head. "Even the position of the body shows that he just fell. So this is an obvious happening."
L glances to Light and the two share a look before L nods only to turn back to work.
Light also turns back to work.
No words were needed.
The two work for a while until suddenly the power goes out as the only light are the flashes of lightning and the light from their laptop screens.
L looks outside and sees that the whole street has a power outage. "Well at least it's not just us." He says glad that they are working on laptops at the moment.
"Yeah." Light says in agreement. "Hopefully it won't last long."
L nods in agreement turning back to work.
Then there is a knock on the door that is a constant knock before it goes silent.
"I've got it." Light gets up and goes over to it. He opens the door and looks up to the person standing there in a yellow rain slicker looking down at Light as he opens the door.
Lightning flashes behind the person almost illuminating them ominously.
The person offers a letter to Light along with a few simple words. "Don't ruin this."
Light takes the letter then the person just turns and heads off on his way.
Meanwhile Light heads back a few steps in order to close the door as he looks down to the letter.
….
Two people are driving in a car down the rain slicked road.
The one in the drivers side sighs. "Driving out in a thunder storm all just to once again bloody our hands."
The one in the passenger seat looks to the other. "It'll be fun. The weather is just perfect to kill in."
The one in the drivers seat smirks. "Yes. It's almost like a movie."
The one in the passenger seat also smirks. "Next left."
Once they reach their location they find themselves looking at an apartment you see in anime or anime movies that characters live in.
The one in the drivers seat parks then shuts the car off.
A particularly loud thunder roar goes on in the background.
The two get out of the car and head over to the apartment door which leads to the room that they need to get into.
One squats down and checks under the doormat.
Sure enough there is a key.
The one grabs it and straightens only to unlock the door.
The two head inside and the three people in the apartment turn in surprise.
"Oh it's just you two." One of the three says relaxing. "Hey. You come with a message." He raises his arms in a half shrug half offering a hug position. "A message from Leader right? It must be real important if Leader sent two high ranking members such as yourselves."
One of the two smirks widely. "Incorrect." The one raises a gun pointed at the three while the other stands there letting the one do the work. "You should have thought better before stealing money from your comrades multiple times. Leader is quite pissed with you three. You're just lucky Leader sent us instead of coming in person."
The three get to their feet with their hearts racing in fear but the one shoots quickly only using one shot per person to kill them before any of the three can reach for a weapon.
The one lowers the hand holding the gun to his side.
"Let's go." The other says cleaning the doorknob of fingerprints with a cloth. "Someone would have heard the gun shots."
The one turns following the other out the door making sure to use his sleeve to not leave any fingerprints on the door.
The other heads down to the car first as the one turns towards the stairs. The other looks around as if taking mental images of the area.
The one smiles seeing this standing halfway down the stairs.
Typical especially with scenery like this.
The one glances to the right almost wanting to take a deep breath at the nice view of a pretty hill that has trees on it that looks nice even in the storm as the lightning along with dark clouds make it more mystical looking.
After all who wouldn't enjoy such a nice looking view.
"Time to go." The other says snapping the one from his thoughts.
The one quickly joins the other in the car and begins driving away after throwing the gun into the glove department.
Time to flee the scene.
