Recap: As it turned out, a few weeks later the guard had been deported to another section of the black market and within a few days there he had been killed while scouting for potential stock. That particular week Julius had been in an extremely good mood and I had no doubts as to why, after all growing up with him you had to be very clever, or you wouldn't live long at all.

I had decided a few years after sis was born, and when it was apparent that Julius hated her more than me, that I would need to protect her and the best way to do that was to get on Julius' good side as much as possible. So with that thought in mind I began to take after him as much as I could handle without losing my sanity. By the time Julius had thrown sis into the 'holding' room, I had worked myself into his 'good' graces and he'd finally accepted me, at least as a very reliable guard, if not step-son. Since I was his most reliable worker I had been granted privileges, and I had used them most often on or with my little sis.

I may have been the only reason sis had lived so long, well other than her own peculiar strength and tolerance of pain of course, because after every beating she got I would go and tend to her wounds, making sure that she wouldn't bleed to death and when it seemed as though she'd given up all hope I would take her to see our mom, against Julius' orders and without his knowledge of course. These little visits were forbidden, but afterward, both mom and little sis seemed to regain the will to live, as though seeing each other was all they had really needed.

The bright lights were starting to give me a splitting headache, I frowned and closed my eyes tighter, just wanting to go see if my sister was okay, even though I knew that my injuries were much worse. I always found it strange that Julius treated her much worse than he treated me. All of this may have been because he'd thought and expected her to be his child, not a guard's. He wouldn't even let mom name her once he thought it over and discovered that the child may not be his… though…before she died… she told me to protect Alizea…so I wonder if that's what mom told sis when she was holding her…before Julius took mom away. I wonder if…mom named her Alizea.

The thought that mom had named sis before she was taken away made me smile and somehow I didn't feel like I was in as much pain as before…but that might've just been from the morphine. I sighed heavily, wishing once again to see my sister. Just then a knock came at the door and a nurse came in, "Excuse me, there is someone here to see you…if you feel up to visitors."

I blinked, Huh? Visitors…for me? But I don't know anyone who would visit…or at least not any that wouldn't have been caught by those police. I nodded slowly at the nurse, she nodded and went back out the door to tell the visitors to come in. I sat up a little bit more, then leaned back against the pillows, my headache seemed to be getting better. The door opened again and that new boy that sis was protecting came in, I blinked again, What the hell?! What is he doing here?

The kid came over and crouched in a chair next to the bed, a man followed him in quietly, then we simply sat quietly for a good five minutes or so, "So…did you need something?"

He nodded once slowly, as though he wasn't really sure, I wanted to glare at him, but refrained, it wouldn't get me anywhere good. I looked him over carefully, in the few days since he'd been caught he had healed well, though there were faint bruises on his face. He still looked as pale as he had on his first day and his eyes weren't any better, He might've been much worse if sis hadn't protected him…I don't see why she did, I don't really see anything special about this kid…but then again sis has always been much better at reading between the lines then me …she had to be even more so after being put in that building. I closed my eyes at the thought and sat up a little bit straighter, I was glad that she didn't need to suffer in that place anymore.

"You know a lot about Julius Punire, do you not?" I frowned a little bit at him, but nodded slowly anyway, "What can you tell me about him…and the girl."

'The girl' he says! I felt indignant that he should say anything about her in any way, but I pushed that away, "What do you want to know? And why do you want to know?"

The kid moved his stare from the floor to me, I recognized it a little bit, my sister tended to do the same thing, though her gaze was always much more empty then his was. Her eyes were always truly blank, his seemed to be just a cover up, I could see that he was obviously very intelligent, "I would like to know anything you can possibly tell me. I want to know because it will be beneficial to putting Julius Punire in prison for life, or maybe even give him the death sentence."

I blinked, The…death sentence? They can really do that for his black market and human trafficking!? I felt a tingle run down my spine and butterflies filled my stomach at the thought that Julius would pay for his suffering, because just sitting in a jail cell for the rest of his life wasn't good enough…and yet, knowing how much he cared for mother and that he killed her…if he didn't die for that, than living alone in a prison cell to brood over what he did would suffice.

I grit my teeth hard, If I tell him everything…wait! Why the hell would I tell everything I know to this kid?! What can he do about it? "Why should I tell you? As far as I can tell, you're just a kid."

"I am a detective. That is all you need to know."

I frowned at him, this time actually glaring at him, "I don't see why that should change anything from my view." he blinked owlishly at me, it reminded me so much of my sister that I had to look away, though my frown didn't disappear, instead I glared down at my hands as they fisted in the sheets. It was somewhat my job, to make sure that whoever sis chose was even slightly good enough for her, but I was very sure that no one would ever be good enough for her though.

"Why not? I could have you thrown into a penitentiary for being a guard in the black market and human trafficking business." I felt my eyes immediately snap back to him and widen immensely.

This kid is…blackmailing me!!! I felt extremely indignant and yet something in me felt very amused at his tactics, I couldn't help the smile that wanted to spread across my face, so I turned away again, shaking my head a little bit. With a sigh, I straightened again, "Alright then…I suppose it doesn't really matter whether I go to prison or whatever, as long as my little sister is okay." I raked a hand through my hair as I thought about how to tell what I knew.

"Your little sister is the girl from the room, right?" I rose an eyebrow at him and nodded, "What is her name?"

"She doesn't have one…Julius Punire never allowed our mother to name her." L blinked, giving me a questioning look, "Julius isn't my father, nor is he my sister's father. Any of us would only be related by marriage, not blood. You see, my father died a while ago, when I was about a year old or so…my mother was alone, that's when Julius came along, he was completely smitten with my mother and took her away, somewhat against her will, I was three by this time. He kept her in the west wing of the building, but since he wasn't really that bad she didn't mind staying there. This was before he started showing obvious signs of enmity towards me, he hated me because I was Aliah's child, but not his. He hates my little sister for the same reason, because she isn't his child."

L tilted his head and bit on his thumbnail as he listened, I took this to mean that he had a question so I stopped to look over at him, "If Julius is not the girl's father, then who is?"

"It was a guard at the headquarters, he was my mom's guard for a while, during that time they must've bonded to one another or something, in any case a few months later mom was pregnant with sis. When sis was born everyone, including Julius was happy, but sis' eyes and hair were completely different from any of either mom or Julius' traits. She resembled the guard so much that it was ridiculous to believe that she could ever be Julius' daughter…"

I glanced over at L, his eyes narrowed on me, "How do you know this?"

With another deep breath, I looked back down at my hands, "I happened to overhear the guard arguing with Julius, which for anyone would have been quite a shock. Hardly anyone but Julius' bosses would've dared speak up to him, let alone outright argue with him, so I knew it must've been something major. So I eavesdropped on them, what I overheard was that Julius suspected the guard of being my sister's father…when I peeked around to see I could tell that Julius was right, the guard and sis were almost exactly the same, they had the same inky black hair and light gray almost silver eyes."

L nodded absently as he stared at the floor, almost as if he wasn't really paying attention, but the way he acted had me guessing that he was probably thinking through everything I said, picking it very carefully for specific information, just like sis.

A/N: Let me know what you think! Four reviews people, okay? Another thing I wish to say, check out my profile if and when you have the time c: okay? Ah, let's see, Oh! Right, I had a few questions about Alizea, her mom whispered it into her ear before Julius took her away, so L, Beyond, Kayle and Julius didn't hear it, but before Julius killed Aliah, she told Kayle to protect Alizea...just in case you were wondering about that c: Other than that...I think that's all...I'll see ya later.
