Chapter ten:
"Yes. I am coming up now. I have the files you asked for." He says then he goes inside just getting off of the phone.
Nate is the first to move to follow the elderly man.
"Nate!" Mihael says as he and Mail move to catch up with Nate.
"Just trust me." Nate says as they enter the hotel.
They follow the elderly man into the elevator then out when at the right floor.
Half way down the hall the elderly man stops making the three stop as well.
He turns and looks around behind himself looking around as if he can sense the three but can't see them.
The three wait watching.
He seems tense but it seems obvious that no one is following him so he continues on his way as the three continue to follow. He enters one room and closes the door behind himself.
Nate stops making the other two do the same. "Wait." He says.
After about half an hour the man pokes his head out of the room glancing around then he moves quietly out heading towards another room looking around himself to make sure the coast is clear.
He then heads into another hotel room.
The three move in to the room door and pause.
Nate reaches out and put his hand on the door to make sure he can go through and slightly pulls his hand away from the door before continuing going through the door.
The other two follow after him.
Inside it really shows to be an expensive room.
The three look around then they notice the man they were following heading over to an arm chair where another man is sitting all huddled up. They head over and look seeing the man working on a laptop.
"Here are the files." The older man hands the younger man some files he was hiding on the inside of his clothes.
"Thank you." The younger man takes them and puts them on the coffee table before picking one up to flip through it.
The older man is about to walk away when Mail gets an idea.
The younger man puts the file down and begins typing on the laptop. "We should just need the right information and it should work. We should be able to solve the case and in a way the three helped us a little on the case."
Mail begins to move forward.
"Mail what are you doing?" Mihael hisses out at the other.
Mail keeps going and reaches for the laptop as the younger man pulls his hands away to flip a page in the file. "Maybe if I can just." He tries typing but starts to struggle with getting his fingers to actually type on the keyboard. "It was so much easier when we were in a more controlled environment!" He whines.
"I heard that there was going to be a radio broad cast that might be linked to one of the cases." The older man says grabbing a radio.
"Let's listen." The younger man agrees resting his thumb on his bottom lip.
The older man turns on the radio as he is now standing by the arm chair.
What is coming out of it is just static as the older man tries to get it to work.
Suddenly Mail throws his hands up in the air in frustration as he screams.
"It doesn't work! We're already dead! We're already dead!"
But it comes through the radio as a faint voice that makes everyone freeze upon hearing it.
"What was that?" The older man gasps.
"Can you hear us?" Mihael tries but nothing happens.
Then the radio just goes onto a regular broadcast like nothing happened in a silent way of saying 'well that just happened.'
Nate turns to Mail. "We're already dead? You couldn't just say that you can't get it to work?"
Mail turns to Nate with a shrug. "It sounded cooler."
Mihael rolls his eyes at the others excuse.
Mail moves back towards his friends with a puppy dog face. "You're not mad are you?" He asks mostly directed at Nate.
Nate sighs softly. "It got some attention." He says and moves back closer to the two males.
Mihael turns with a warning glare to Mail wanting him to back off from Nate.
Mail gives a 'I'm the one that's going to win.' Smirk at Mihael.
"Stop making faces at each other and come on. We need to figure out what the best course of action is." Nate's voice makes the two turn to him a little surprised.
The two move to follow Nate.
"What's your idea?" Mihael asks Nate.
"I want to find out who this person is." Nate responds.
"Watari It seems that the radio can tune to the spirit world or at least could at that time." The younger man says.
"Wait…. Watari?" Mail questions.
"Hold on. That means he…. He's…." Mihael gasps.
"L." Nate says in a breathless voice that's almost like a whisper.
L and Watari continue to listen to the radio as it seems to just work fine now.
Suddenly there is scratching sounds coming down the hall making the three tense up.
"They found us!" Mail gasps.
"Run!" Mihael says and they race to the window but they are high up off the ground.
They turn hearing the scratching sound that seems to only be in the human world getting closer.
"We've got nothing to lose." Nate says and goes through the window falling down.
Mihael follows grabbing Mail's hand taking him along.
They head straight for the ground but then at the last second they seem to slow down only then do they land on their feet gently.
"Being a ghost is kind of cool now." Mail says with a big grin on his face as he fist pumps the air.
"Well that's like an added bonus." Mihael says just glad they got away from the demons.
"I think we need to get information out there." Nate says turning to the other two.
"But how?" Mail questions. "If we go back in there then we will be attacked by the demons."
"L isn't the only person on the planet." Nate points out. "We just need to find the perfect person to help." He turns taking the lead away from the hotel.
Mihael rushes to Nate's side and Mail rushes after them to follow with a slight pout.
Nate looks around as they walk searching for someone perfect to help them.
"Say Nate." Mihael begins.
Nate glances to Mihael. "Yes?"
"I was wondering." Mihael begins with a smile. "That maybe you would be interested in going for some time with me?"
Mail dashes to Nate's other side. "Oh come on. Why not come with me?" He says as Nate turns to him. "I am much more fun."
Mello growls with a glare at Mail while Mail smirks.
Nate looks from Mihael then to Mail only to go back again before looking forward. "So you two are competing for my affections." He states making the other two pause.
