Bad Day Part 1

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Near awoke very early the next morning to notice that L was not in bed with him.

He sat up and rubbed his bleary eyes with his fist, and he crawled off the bed, quietly padding down the hall to the office.

The door was cracked open slightly and Near heard L and Watari whispering quietly.

Curiosity piqued, Near crept toward the door to listen in on what was obviously a private conversation.

~inside the office~

L sat at his desk with a laptop open and in front of him.

Watari and L stared at each other in silence, one fearful and the other shocked and disbelieving.

L spoke then, slowly and carefully.

"What do you mean?" he asked, wanting to be perfectly clear on what he was being told, though he really didn't need it to be repeated.

"Near's Mother...she's escaped from prison. They have no idea where she could be, though they know she will more than likely come after Near. They want to take him and put him in protective custody."

L hunched down lower in his seat and started to bite on his thumb.

This was most certainly not good. Not good at all. What should he tell Near? Should he tell Near? Of course he had to, he had a right to know! No! He couldn't! It would terrify the boy.

No. L would protect him, he wouldn't allow them to take him away from him. He would protect Near and do what he did best. Capture any wanted criminals. He would make sure she was caught and put away for good. She would never come after him again.

"That is not all sir..."

L snapped his eyes to Watari.

"What do you mean." He demanded.

"The other boys' parents...they have also escaped. We have reason to believe that they have met up and are now together."

L's eyes widened.

Not good at all...

*Ducks and dodges oncoming projectiles*

I KNOW! I KNOW! You're pissed and you have a right to be but let me explain! My mom's computer was hit by lightning and died so I'm using my best friends comp. I can't spend time on it like I would like since it's not mine but I'm doing my best! Honest! If it's possible I'll type up the second part tonight and post it tonight. I would also like to thank the ones who gave words of encouragement when I said I was having hard times. I would normally go name by name and give thanks but like I said, no time. You know who you are and I will more than likely type your name tonight when I'm writing part two. So far though my bad days seem to be at an end. I have some serious family issues, even more so because I'm adopted and am not treated as fairly since no one is really my family in my family. Doesn't make a lot of sense I know. I'm moving out of my mom's house and into a friends, and I'm in the process of fixing my friends crappy computer so hopefully I'll have my own soon so I can type how I want when I want. Ok now you know the deal and I'll type part two when I can. Hopefully tonight.
