Raito fell onto the bed and sighed. It took an hour to convince L to hold onto the Death Note.

"I can't blame him for acting like this," he thought. "If I were in his position I would do the same. But why can't he just trust me this once?" He chuckled, "course I did betray him, he won't trust me easily. Probably never completely. Least I won't have to hear Ryuk for awhile."

Next morning

"Have you found anything on Kohl?" L asked Watari.

"Yes sir I have, would you like to see it now?"

"Yes, please send it to my laptop and can you bring some coffee as well?"

"Right away sir," said Watari as he left the room.

"So are you going to tell him about the Death Note and me any time soon?" asked Ryuk.

"No I would prefer to have no one else know about it unless it is absolutely vital, especially Watari," replied L.

Watari came into the room again, "Sir Yagami-san has arrived, should I let him in?"

"Please do."

Watari nodded and left, Raito showed up a few seconds later.

"Found anything?" asked Raito.

"Sure, tons of stuff" said Ryuk.

"Reviewing the video from the hospital and I believe I have a file on him," said L as he paused the video. The man in the video looked vaguely familiar….then it hit him.

"Something wrong?" said Ryuk.

"L?" said Raito.

"…It can't be…"

"Can't be who?" Raito asked.

"If this is the man I'm thinking of, he isn't Kohl," replied L.

"Come again? If he isn't Kohl, who is he?"

"Plot twist," said the black shinigami.

"Stephen Green," L said while ignore in Ryuk.

"And who is he?" asked Raito.

L sighed and drank some coffee. He paused for a moment, "have you herd of Blake "The Butcher" Fenton?"

"Yes, who hasn't?" said Raito. "Everyone's herd of him," he thought. "He raped and murdered twenty-nine women through his travels in Europe through the 90's. As soon as he was done raping each victim he would slash their throat. Then cut up the body in smaller pieces so it would be easier to carry them in bags. He would leave the bag in plain sight when he traveled to the next town. He kept taunting the police as well, it seemed like he'd never be caught."

"What does The Butcher have to do with him?" Raito asked.

"Green was a detective on The Butcher case," L started. "And his sister, Lila was abducted. She was the twenty-ninth victim; I was called on the case when there were twenty-fourth victims…under the named Eraldo Coil." He sighed, "It was one of my earlier cases. I tried my best to stop him after the twenty-fourth victim. But he moved quicker than I had anticipated. I finally came up with a plan when I found a pattern on the places he visited. Just when it seemed like it was over…. I miscalculated heavily."

L's flashback

There were cops surrounding the building, no way out.

"This is the French police! Come out with you hands on your head! If you refuse to comply we shall enter!"

"Don't think about it!" came a voice from the window. "Try anything and she dies!" said The Butcher.

The door behind him was pushed open, he was furious. He pointed his weapon at the girl and fired.

End flashback.

"He killed her?" question Raito.

L nodded gloomily, "He didn't even touch her. I made a message and gave it to a French broadcasting station hoping to scare him. I didn't realize he would be that irrational, it never crossed my mind. And it didn't fit the profile, it's always bothered me but something didn't seem right. I think he might've had an accomplice but there wasn't any evidence to support my theory."

"You couldn't have known that would happen. Sometimes there are certain factors involved and you don't seem them coming," said Raito.

"You mean like you?" said Ryuk.

"Thanks," thought Raito.

"A factor eh? Like right now?" cackled the shinigami.

"What do you mean 'right now'?" said Raito angrily.

"He's looking out the window seeing what you're doing."

Raito's heart stopped, he didn't think Kohl would find me again. Then again he wasn't paying attention if anyone was following him recently.

Raito turned towards L, "What do you have in mind?"

L sat in silence for awhile only sipping his coffee. "We'll have to lure him to the location. Once we're there I'll message Watari to call the police."

"Nice plan, figure that one by yourself?" said Ryuk.

"Shut up," replied Raito. "So we just act like sitting ducks?"

"He's faster than what I had first thought. If we don't act now, I'm not sure what he'll do."

Raito shook his head and sighed, "Fine, I'll go. When do you plan on doing this?"

"About…" L looked at the clock. "In ninety minutes, at 2:30."

"Alright, I hope you know what you're doing."

"So do I," replied L.
