Death Note
Chapter 13
L orders them to put A.K in Wateri's car that had just recently pulled up. The helicopter that was flying around followed the small, black car back to Head Quarters. The copter landed on the roof of the building and Light and L stepped out. Ryuzaki couldn't help to think that it was too easy to capture her.
At the scene, they managed to obtain the gun, by picking it up using locking pliers, and put it in a glass, ceiled tube and drove it to L's base setup.
L had instructed to take Assistant Killer and chain her to the wall in the basement with cameras watching her from every angle. The moment she started waking up, they had finished.
"Assistant Killer." L's fake voice rang through the cement, enclosed room.
"Huh...? What?" She asked quietly, still feeling foggy from the heavy dose of the tranquillizer.
"I've decided to keep you locked up instead of putting you to a death sentence. I want some answers."
The key words that stuck out in her mind were 'locked up'. She looked at both of her wrists and started tugging on the black chains, even though it wasn't going to help at all.
"The first question I want to ask is who are you?" He asked through the microphone, in the comfort of his own room.
"I refuse to answer that!" She resisted.
"Well fine. I can always search your name by taking a picture of your face. Matsuda, would you mind pulling the hood off of that lovely little girls face for me?"
Matsuda, standing in the corner with a helmet shading his face, did what he was told. He stepped forward and uncovered her eyes. The discovery was shocking and dumbfounded L.
The moment her hood was pulled off said it all. Her eyes were not red and her hair wasn't completely blue at the root of her head, either.
This was notL.E.K.
It was obvious that someone had forcibly dyed this poor blond girl's hair blue. It looked like she was strangled for a few seconds or cut with a blade if she didn't do what she was told.
It looked like Light was even astounded to see that it wasn't Millie.
L couldn't believe it. He pulled up some recent pictures of L.E.K and compared them to the girl that he was currently holding captive. They weren't a match.
The real Assistant Killer knew what the plan was and countered it by taking some girl off the streets and used her as a decoy. He thought.
L pressed a button and took a picture of the girl and tried to find her name. One name did come up through the internet.
Ashley Greenwell. A fresh man high school student. She went missing the same day Millie had supposedly died. She went to bed that night and the morning her parents went to wake her up, her bedroom window was wide open and she was missing.
L's men were carefully observing the Death gun. It was completely wiped clean of the original Assistant Killer's figure prints. A secret compartment was found but nothing was in it. The gun itself was real considering that the reckless officer had been turned to ash when he was handling it.
"Ashley... It seems that you were kidnapped. The police decided that you have fled your own room that night," L stated.
"Did Assistant Killer do this to you?"
She didn't say anything.
"Look, we can get this over and done with if you just tell everything you know. Then we can bring you back to your parents," he offered.
"Go to hell!" Ashley shouted.
L sat back in his plush chair feeling hopeless. Wateri came around, pushing a cart with a fondue fountain and a fruit bouquet on it. For once, L actually said no. He was so lost in thought and pushed aside Wateri like he was a distraction but he didn't seem to mind as he walked away, offering people some as he past.
The plain truth was that Assistant Killer had brainwashed this innocent girl and set her out as bait, giving direct orders not to say anything once she was caught.
He looked at the screen to see her looking like she was dying on the inside. He turned the computer off and sat for a moment, feeling defeated.
A.K was too sneaky and somehow she was able to figure out our plan. Why did she give us her gun? What was the point of that?
He looked at a photo in a frame, sitting on his desk. It was an old picture of his 3 kids in the orphanage before L took them. Mello was 8, Near was 7 and Millie was 6 years old. She was tugging on Mello's shirt from the back because he was fighting with Near. He was grabbing the rim of little brother's shirt, trying to pull him closer so he could hurt him, while Near's foot was pushed up against his older brother's face.
Some things never change.
Light had already gone home. The rest was trying to pin point Assistant Killer's location, but were having no luck. Over the years, Millie had really observed L's system and was somehow able to hack into it without setting off the security. Ryuzaki could already guess that, but in his thoughts, it was next to impossible. But still he did ponder the thought every now and then.
