Alex's POV
"I present to you, the new and improved Alex Winters!" These words rang in my ears. I caught myself standing in front of the entire task force dressed up. I looked around at the faces of everybody, except L and Light. I was too embarrassed to look at them.
"Wow, Alex. You look amazing. I didn't realize how pretty you were till now." Matsuda spoke up. I blushed furiously and wanted to crawl under a rock.
"I agree. You look beautiful." Light said suddenly. My heart stopped. I finally looked at him. He was looking me up and down. My face exploded with heat. I started slowly walking back to the room. Misa grabbed me and forced me to stand in front L. I looked at him. He just sat there with his big eyes and pokerface staring at me.
"What do you think, Ryuzaki?" Misa grinned.
After about a minute, he suddenly said, "I don't like it. It doesn't suit her. Can we just get back to the case." My heart sank. I was kinda mad at him. Why, though? Why did I care so much? Next thing I knew was that I was taking off my shoes and ran for the door. It wasn't the door to the room, it was the door that led to the hallway. I raced down the hallway, down the stairs, and out the front door. Why was I running?
I didn't know where I was going, but I left anyways. I was crying. I have never been emotional from a guy saying such a thing. I hardly ever got emotional. Was it because he said it? In my head, his words repeated over and over. But his words translated to, "I don't think you're pretty." I don't know why it bothers me so much.
I stopped and looked around. I was in the middle of a street. I finally thought how ridiculous I was being and decided to go back. As I was walking back, I noticed a gang of guys. I tried to avoid them. Today was not the day to be in a mess like that. They stared at me, though. I walked faster and faster, and so they followed faster and faster. I jumped to a sprint and that's the last thing I remember before being blindfolded and thrown in a truck. I was knocked out.
L's POV
"You probably should have just told her you thought she looked pretty." Light stated. "Females are more sensitive than males. Your social skills really do lack."
"I am quite aware of what would be the normal thing to say to a lady in that kind of situation, but I am not you. I'd rather not lie."
"I don't-" Beep Beep.
"Ryuzaki. Matsuda needs to make contact with you." Watari explained immediately.
"Dial his number." What could it be now?
"Ryuzaki! I tried to stop them. I wasn't fast enough. I'm so sorry-"
"What happened?!" Was is Alex? I she hurt. Why is my mind racing?
"She's been kidnapped."
Alex's POV
I woke up, but couldn't see anything. Nothing but darkness. Where was I? How did I get here? I tried to think back to what I was doing before I passed out. L said he didn't like how I looked and I ran away. I remember walking the streets, but what happened after that? Did I fall? Was I kidnapped?
Suddenly I remember the men. I remember running and them putting something over my head. I remember being thrown in the truck. Am I dead? That's stupid of me. Of course I'm not dead. What should I do though?
I heard heavy footsteps. "Hey, girly. Wakey wakey. She's gonna be real valuable. I bet we could sale her for $30,000." I heard a man say. He had a husky, deep voice and sounds like he's drunk. I started getting really nervous. They're going to sale me? I didn't know they had gangs like this in Japan. I tried screaming, but the man just yelled, "Shut up, you little brat!" and smacked my face. He hit so hard that my face was swollen.
This can't be happening. Not now. I need to find my way out. I don't want to call help. I'm not a weakling. But all I could think of was how L would save me. God, I hope he finds me. L. I need you.
