Chapter 13 - Pills, Sleep and Missing Files

L's POV

I don't fall asleep often, so when I do it kinda takes me by surprise, seeing as I'm an insomniac (partly my own fault but you know with my job it can't be helped). I suddenly found myself with some documents stuck to my face due to my face being on the desk. I lifted my head, peeled the paper that seemed glued to my face and then looked at the cold half drunk cup of tea that still stood there. Great. I bet Watari has been slipping me insomnia pills again. I will deal with that later. I also came to notice my laptop. Someone had switched it off. They better had saved everything that was open on the desktop. I opened the lid of my laptop and as I turned it on, I gathered the documents on the desk and placed them back in the paper file. BB's file. I got up and walked towards the filing cabinet to place the file back in it's rightful place.

'What the hell? Why is the cabinet open?' I knew Watari always Locked the cabinet, as did I, after removing or replacing files. It usually didn't concern me, after all we are only human. We all make mistakes. But something about the entire situation gave me a nasty feeling. I looked into the cabinet as I placed BB's file back in it's right full place. That's when I noticed. A's file. It was gone.

"Shit," I shouted, I didn't swear often. Foul language didn't really occur in my thought processes, so I knew if Watari had heard me, he would come running as he knew I only said such words when I was truely stressed. I ran toward the pile of discarded files underneath the window, throwing various ones away after a quick glance. I needed to find his file, no one could have his file. As I threw another useless file behind me, I heard a definite "OW". I turned to see Watari behind me, holding his hand to his head. Oops.

"Erm, L what on earth are you doing?," Watari sounded confused and slight concern was in his voice also. Well I don't blame him. I wasn't one for swearing, crouching on the floor covered in files and documents, launching them across the room. Well the last part might be true.

"Watari! If you hadn't given me medication for my insomnia without my knowledge, I would not be in the predicament I seem to be in!" I didn't mean to shout, but it just kinda happened. I was however fuming with the man.

"L I don't understand, I haven't given you any medication," Watari sounded more confused than when he walked in.

"Then who the hell drugged me and took A's file then?!"

BB's POV

I needed to find as much infomation on A as I could possible get. I couldn't have my best friend, my only friend die in 2 years. I saw death every day. The death of every human soul was shown to me each day. I needed to find out why him. Why out of the thousands of insignificant human lives that death hit him early? I couldn't comprehend why he was being taken away from me. I needed to know 2 pieces of infomation;

1) I needed to know all about his past, everything. It could help me decipher what I can do to change the course of his death

2) My eyes. I needed to know what my eyes where. What I had, why I could see the death of the world. Why me.

As I stared up at the ceiling, I could here the soft snoring of A. Ashley. He slept so peacefully. Sometimes I could here him talk in his sleep. Funny thing sleep. You could dream about the best thing in the world and be happy, or dream about terror and fear and be scared. I knew no different anymore. All dreams to me were nightmares. I looked over to A and he started to mutter some jibberish in his sleep. It made me smile, he always did. He was my only friend and he made me something that no one else could. Happy. I wanted him to be safe, so I would do what ever it took to help him. To save him. To change his course of death. I knew I had to obtain one vital object. A's file. It could hold vital infomation I could use to save him. Anything about his history, his past that could cause his death, or influence it. I smirked as an idea came to my brilliant mind. If it worked, I could have A's file, and enough time to read it without someone noticing it had been taken, then slip it back when no one was in the room. Only one person stood in my way. L. He always did. But I knew how to render him defenseless and leave me with a clear line to gain the file. Didn't he have Insomnia? Well let's just double the dose of the meds he takes and he will be out cold. I couldn't help but giggle. Now I just had 2 things to sort out

1) How to get the medication

2) How to administer it

I guess I'd have to get into Wataris room as I am 86.2% sure the medication will be kept in their as I can't see L being the one to willingly take medication. The guy is a stubborn bastard. Then I would have to hide the medication in food or dissolve it in a drink. And thats when it hit me. L had a cup of Tea (well more like sugar with tea) every evening at around 7. That's when I would see Watari carrying one up to him anyway. I could use this to my advantage. If I could make L's evening tea, I could slip the medication into the tea and allow it to dissolve and when Watari took it up to him, he wouldn't suspect a thing. But I would need an aliby incase something went wrong, and I'd need someone to help me gain access to he medication anyway. Hmm. thats when I decided the only person I could thing of that would possibly help me. Was X.

Normal POV

BB smiled to himself as he watched the digital clock on the desk turn to 7am. As the alarm from the small clock rang out, BB watched as A started to drag himself up out of his deep sleep.

"Urh, morning, BB. Didn't think you'd already be up, trouble sleeping again?" A was clearly still half asleep, his voice was still groggy.

"Kind of, I was thinking about something and I guess it just kept my brain too busy to think," BB wasn't lying, he was thinking about something. But he couldn't tell A. He couldn't tell anyone the real reason, when he met with X he would have to think of some reason why he ended the file.

"Ah okay, by the way I'm gonna get ready then we should go down for breakfast," A sounded so innocent, BB didnt even want to look at his friend, he couldn't without his eyes glancing on thise numbers.

"Yeah whatever," B glared down at his bare feet, he went over to the bathroom and dragged a comb through his tangled raven mop. he quickly returned to the room and still glared down to the floor, not even so much as glancing at A.

"BB is something bothering you? Have I done something? Why are you not looking at me?" BB stopped as A came up behind him laying his hand on his back. What was he supposed to say now, he couldn't just say 'oh I dont want to look at you cause I can see when you did! Yeah that would go down well.

"No nothing's wrong," he slowly looked up at A and smiled, he glanced again at the numbers above his friend that started to mock him. He wished he never looked at those numbers, or did he? No. Looking gave him a chance at saving his friend.

"oh okay, well your ready so I'll meet you down in the dining hall okay?" A smiled and ran into the bathroom and closed the door. BB slowly made his way to the door of the shared room.

'Don't worry A, I won't loose you..' He thought as he went to the dining hall to find X.

Once BB made his way down to the dining hall, his crimson eyes scanned the room searching for their target, and they locked on to the small girl sat in the corner of the room, he looked above at her name and death date;

Alice Xavier 123611352

'i see why her alias is X then' BB thought as he approched her. X shot up from her seat when she saw BB approach her, his black bangs ment she couldn't look into his eyes, he just stared at the table then looked up to meet her emerald eyes with his red. X gulped as she tried to muster up the courage to speak to him.

"Erm... ah...hello BB. W... What could I possibly do f... For you?" She tried to smile but the look BB gave her was terrifying.

"Cut the crap Xavier, I need you to help me with a little something," BB sat infront of where X stood and pointed back to the chair she had vacated only seconds before, "you gonna sit?"

X just sat down, her hands trembling slightly, she was frightened of BB, especially after her hamster was murdered by him. And as he used her last name, her true last name, she was even more frightened.

"I need your help X, I know I haven't been the nicest person to you, but I need you to do something for me," he smiled at her, she hated that. The small creepy insane smile was enough to scare the dead.

"Fine B I'll help you, aslong as you hold your end of the bargin,"

"of course I will X," that smile again, it was the face of insanity.

BB lead X out of the dining hall and into the main corridor, once their BB made sure no other person was within listening range.

"X, I need you to keep watch while I go into Watari's room, I need to get something from their, it is extremely important make sure no one enters whilst I'm in their,"

X nodded nervously as she was dragged by the raven teen through the various corridors until they were outside Wataris room. The door was closed and when BB tried it, it was locked.

"I'm kind of releaved it's locked, I know no ones in there. your a girl right? Have you got one of those small hair pins? The black ones with one straight edge and one with curves?" BB didn't even look at X but she knew what he was talking about. She reached up to her hair which was held up in a bun and pulled a small hair pin from her hair and handed it to him. BB smiled as he took it from her hand.

'I knew bringing a girl would be a useful' He thought as he placed the pin into the lock on the door. X watched as BB manovered the pin around the lock, finally they both heard a click as the door unlocked.

"Yes" BB muttered under his breath as the door slowly opened. He turned to X and looked her directly in the eye,

"If you see, hear or even think someone is coming, cough twice. Got it? If you mess up I will have to punish you!" X just nodded as BB went into the room and closed the door behind him. She stood next to the door and kept watch, she wanted to do this because she wanted to find out how BB knew her real name. She needed the truth.

BB slowly closed the door and turned To face the entire room. The large double bed took up the majority of it, their was a small desk in the corner with what looked to be a small drawer underneath. A small wardrobe on the left wall and a door on the right which he assumed lead to a bathroom. BB walked and approched the first place someone may hide pills. In the drawer under the desk. He opened it and all that sat in the small drawer were papers and an empty video cassette case. He continued to look all over the room. Nothing, he couldn't find any pills anywhere. Then his gaze brought him to the bathroom door.

'So obvious' BB thought, rolling his eyes as he entered the bathroom. On the wall above the toilet their was a small white cabinet, upon opening it he discovered a small bottle.

'Bingo' he picked up the bottle and sure enough it contained small pills. And on the front it read;

'Ambein CR - one tablet once a day, 30 minutes before bed'

'Cough Cough' BB turned as he heard X's clear warning cough. He shoved the bottle in his pocket and shut the cabinet and ran out of the bathroom, making sure to close the door, and ran out of the room and closed the door. Just as he shut the door, Roger came round the corner and glared at the pair.

"What on earth are you both doing here? It is nearly 8am and nearly time for lessons,"

X gulped and BB just smiled and out his hand on X's shoulder.

"Sorry Roger, me and X were just heading down to our science lesson," he smiled and Roger mentally face palmed and sighed.

"Fine BB just get to your lessons, the pair of you!" BB let out a relieved sigh as Roger walked away. Now he just had to find Watari at around 6. He hoped the next part of his plan would fall into place.

"X I need you to meet me again at exactly 6:45 outside the kitchen,we are going to see if Watari needs help making L's tea," X just nodded as BB smiled at her and turning to run down the corridor.

'Only a few more hours, then I will have that file!' BB thought as he made his way to his lesson.

That Evening

At exactly 6:45, BB found X waiting outside the kitchens. He smiled at her when he approched. "Well done X, thankyou for being on time, now. We are going to ask to help with preparing L's evening Tea," BB smiled again and saw X's confused expression.

"B why are we doing this?" X looked at BB as he placed his hand on her shoulder. She tensed as he bent down to her ear and whispered, "We are doing it for A". He turned away and started to walk into the kitchen. X shuddered and gulped and followed BB in. BB saw Watari beginning to prepare L's tea.

"Erm Watari, would me and X be able to make L's evening Tea, your always so busy, so we thought we would help!" BB smiled and looked up at the elderly man through his thick black bangs. Watari smiled as he passed the tea pot to BB.

"How kind you both are, I could do with a break actually, just pour the tea in the mug and the sugar cubes are in the top cupboard. Make sure to place 12 cubes in the dish and if you call me when your done I'll take it up to him.

"Of course Watari," X spoke up. BB stared at her, aslong as she was involved it was lesslikely he would be caught. Watari left the room and BB grabbed the mug and pored the tea from the pot into the pristine white china mug. He then pulled the bottle of pills from his pocket and opened it. X noticed and her mouth dropped.

"BB you can't drug L?!" She almost screeched. BB growled at her and brought his finger to his lips to indicate her to be quiet.

"it's not drugs you tool, well it is. But they are for his insomnia," X just nodded as BB took 2 pills and placed them in the mug.

'Im sure one extra one hurt him,' he thought as he mentally laughed as he stored the 2 pills in the tea until they dissolved. He then left the tea, and sugar on the silver tray and called for Watari. As Watari came into the room and smiled, picked up the tray and took it to L. BB calculated L should be asleep in around 30minutes To an hour. So he would go at 8pm to retrieve the file. A's file.

1 Hour Later

It was 8pm, X had gone back to her room, and BB had promised to meet up at breakfast as to keep his side of the bargain. He laughed at the thought of her reaction when he tells her. BB approached L's room and tried the door. To his surprise, it was open. He peered in and saw that the great detective was slumped, face first on his desk fast asleep.

"Wow, looks like those insomnia pills really do work, maybe the higher dose helped?" He thought as he walked further into the room. He approached the sleeping detective and poked him. "Out cold" BB chuckled. BB noticed the files discarded behind the detective underneath the window. He walked over and bent down to look closer. On inspection they were just old case files by the look of them. No wonder they were on the floor. BB then noticed the large filling cabinet in the corner of the room. He walked towards it and looked closer. There were 4 Drawer. Each labelled.

1. A-H
2. I - P
3. Q - V
4. W - Z

BB immediately opened the first drawer and grabbed A's file. Then he suddenly noticed his own file was missing. He looked around the room when he noticed under a sleeping L, seemed to be some papers. BB approached him quietly and glanced at the papers trying to see the writing. Dammit L was covering up the papers too much to make out what they were. Then BB noticed that L's laptop was still on. BB grabbed the laptop and sat down on the floor with it, looking at the files currently open. One was a document which was titled;
'BB Incidents'
"Well then that was flattering" BB muttered under his breath as he clicked on the internet and went into the history, he then noticed a link which started,
'Japenese History, Shinigami'
BB clicked on it in interest and was astounded with what came up. He read through the page and came across one particular part which made his jaw drop.
'Shinigami have the power to see the Name and Life span of every human on earth'

BB gulped as he re-read it. "But that's what I see, I'm a human, I'm not a shinigami, am I? Unless I was born with this power?" He read more on the paragraph and was utterly confused. BB shut the laptop off and returned it to L's desk, took A's file and ran out of the room and back to his own. He shoved the file under his mattress and dived into his bed.

"I need to search more on these Shinigami, and A's file. Hmmm, so much to do..." he sighed as he took his shirt and trousers off, so he was only in his boxers and got into bed and went to sleep.
