"Light who?" Light asked putting a confused look on his face when he looked up at his father, he had a suspicion that L would call his father in when he got the information that Light would be in Vermont. Light was aware that someone in the town had betrayed him but he decided to let it go because he was kind of wondering what L and his father would do when they realised Light's new life and his children.
"I am Ryuzaki we are working this murder investigation, this is my partner Yonjuro it is nice to meet you" L said.
"Likewise" Light answered, Tao moved his head and looked at the two men who were now standing in front of them. Tao instantly did not trust them since they gave them a false name, they were really Soichiro Yagami and L Lawliet, the one name in front of him was his grandfather but he still lied to his father, what type of parent lies to their own child, their father always told him and Mara the truth about his past about what he did, he told them all it.
"We need to talk to you about what you saw earlier?" L told them before grabbing a seat and sitting down in his strange position, an uncomfortable silence fell over them as they waited for L or Mr Yagami to start asking questions but neither did they just stared at the man in front of them, Light had not changed much, his hair had gotten a little longer but he was still the same person they knew 14 years ago.
"Ask your question" Mara snapped obviously disliking the way the older men were staring at her father.
"What did you see?" L asked.
"I heard my brother scream and found that he had fallen over the edge of the path we were running on, I went down to make sure nothing was broken and there were three bodies with their throats slit" Mara answered.
"I was running at the front of the group when I lost my footing and fell, my leg hurt so I was making sure that I had not broken it but then I saw the bodies and screamed, Mara came down and saw them as well" Tao said still clinging to his father, tears were threatening to spill from his eyes again. L nodded whilst Mr Yagami wrote it down on a pad he had brought with him.
"Mr Saito you see like a person who would want to work on a murder investigation" L said hoping to make the other man trip up on his ruse.
"I do, I would not know where to start, I work in a zoo for a living that is nothing like working on a murder case" Light said before standing up and grabbing his coat and put it on.
"Well if you do not mind we need to go" Light said them before wrapping an arm around Tao and helped him walk to the car, his son was going to be like this for a while. L and Mr Yagami watched as Light left with the two children, either Light was an extremely good actor that he had expected L to trick him into saying something only he would do or know or he really did have amnesia.
"Ryuzaki I was just thinking, maybe Light really does have amnesia that is why we were unable to surprise him with our sudden presence in this town" Mr Yagami said.
"I was just thinking about that Mr Yagami" L answered his eyes were still focused on the leaving trio.
