Eva climbed up onto the sofa in the task force's room, she sat down at the other end of the sofa and looked over at her Auntie Nonie. She slowly shuffled along the sofa towards her, she stopped next to her and smiled up at her.

" Hi!" Smiled Eva, she touched her Auntie's arm and looked down at a case file folder she was reading on her lap. " I spoke to the clown monster today, his name is Ryuk!"

Nonie looked down at Eva as she closed the case file folder, she glanced around at the task force and whispered to her." I know, I saw you talking to him on the monitor. I think it's about time I told you about your special eyes..."

" Okay..." Whispered Eva.

" You see sweetie, your eyes are special like mine and Blaze's eyes..." Whispered Nonie, she placed her hand on Eva's shoulder and smiled at her." They let you see Shinigamis or clown monsters as you call them. They won't hurt you..."

" Does that mean my eyes are bad? My eyes are fuzzy sometimes..." Whispered Eva.

" No your eyes are fine...' Smiled Nonie, she brushed Eva's fringe away from her blue eyes and sighed. " You see girls who are born with special eyes, their eyes don't really develop probably until they're 12 years old and you'll see different things than Blaze because he's a boy..."

" But what about the butterflies?" Asked Eva.

" Your butterflies are numbers, when you get older they will get clearer..." Answered None, she removed her hand from Eva's shoulder and smiled at her. " One day you'll see names too above people's heads, when people's numbers run out... that means they are going to die."

" Really?" Asked Eva.

" Yeah..." Answered Nonie.

Eva looked over at her Uncle, she frowned as she looked at each the task force member's butterflies fluttering above their heads and bit at her bottom lip. She looked back up at her Auntie and sniffled as her bottom lip began to tremble.

" That means when people's butterflies go away they don't go to the secret garden in the sky above the stars..." Sniffled Eva, she down at her lap and frowned. " Does that mean my Mummy and Daddy have died and did not go to the secret garden? That means Uncle A told lies, lying is wrong..."

" I'm afraid so sweetie, your Uncle A sugar-coated their deaths for you, But he loves you very much, so don't be mad at him..." Answered Nonie.

Eva rubbed at her eyes as she pulled her messy dark-haired doll from her pocket inside of her pink hoody and spoke quietly to Auntie." I love my Uncle A, he his my best friend..."

" That's good then, if you ever need to talk about your eyes or anything else you have me and Blaze to talk to..." Smiled Nonie.

" Thank you..." Sniffled Eva, she gave her Auntie a hug and whispered to her." I love you..."

" You're welcome sweetie, but you've got to keep Ryuk a secret for now..." Whispered Nonie as she hugged Eva back and smiled." No one can know about him just yet..."

" Why?" Asked Eva

Nonie pulled Eva gently away from her, she shrugged her shoulders and sighed." I just think it's best to keep Shinigamis a secret for now, no one really knows about our special eyes besides your Uncle A. So don't tell anyone, okay?"

" Okay!" Smiled Eva.

" Good girl..." Smiled Nonie, she looked over her shoulder and saw A walking over towards as she whispered to Eva." Your Uncle A is coming, remember to keep our little talk a secret..."

" Yes!" Nodded Eva.

" I'm sorry to bust up this cute little moment you girls are having here, but Ryuzaki wants a word with our little Ichigo..." Frowned A, he crossed his arms and looked at Nonie as he sighed." He wants to ask her some questions about what we saw today on the monitor..."

"It's okay, I'll talk to you later Ichigo..." Smiled Nonie.

" Okay!" Smiled Eva, she climbed down from the sofa and took hold of her Uncle's hand as she looked up at him." Where are we going?"

" Well, the panda detective wants to ask you a few questions..." Answered A, he down at Eva and smiled at her." Are okay with that?"

" By myself?" Asked Eva.

" No, I'll be there with you..." Answered A.

" Okay..." Smiled Eva

Eva looked over at L at the table, she watched him step from his chair and walked hunched over towards them. She looked up at him as he stopped next to her Uncle and put his thumb to his lips.

" If you would please follow me to the kitchen..." Said L.

" Ryuzaki?" Asked Nonie, she got up from the sofa and stared at L as she spoke quietly to him." Be nice to Eva or I swear to god..."

" So! They make leashes for pandas now huh?" Interrupted A.

" I guess they do..." Answered Nonie, she looked over at A and smirked at him." Extra short..."

" Kinky..." Chuckled A.

" Akira, if you would please would follow me kitchen..." Sighed L, he began to chew at his thumbnail and looked down at Eva." Time is of the essence..."

" Alright, come on sugar..." Smiled A at Eva.

A and Eva followed L out of the task force room, they walked along the corridor until they got to the kitchen and the kitchen's door slid open. L walked into the kitchen, headed over towards the fridge and removed his thumb from his lips.

" Please take a seat..." Sighed L.

A led Eva by the hand over to the kitchen table, he lifted Eva up from the floor and placed her down on a chair at the table.

" There we go short stuff..." Smiled A.

L opened the fridge's door, he took a plate of strawberry shortcake out of the fridge and walked over to the kitchen table. He placed his plate down on the table top, he perched himself on a chair at table and took a spoon from his blue jean pocket.

" Ryuzaki?" Asked A, he looked over towards the fridge and then at L as he sighed." Have you ever heard of closing the fridge door before? "

L spooned some of his strawberry shortcake into his mouth, he glanced over his shoulder at the fridge and stared at A.

" For god sake..." Muttered A as he walked over to the fridge and closed the fridge' door." Even Ichigo knows to close the fridge door when you've got what you want from it..."

Eva giggled as she watched her Uncle rant at L for a while, she hugged her messy dark-haired dolly tightly and smiled.

" Time out panda detective..." Smirked A, he looked over at Eva and smiled at her as he walked over to the chair she was sitting on. " So Ryuzaki, ask Ichigo your questions so we can get the hell out of here. I need a toffee fix..."

" Ichigo Jamu, would you please tell me who you were talking to this morning on the stairwell?" Asked L as he spooned some more of his strawberry shortcake into his mouth and chewed it slowly. " Also can you explain to me where the apple disappeared to..."

" I..." Muttered Eva, she looked up at her Uncle behind her and bit her bottom lip as she spoke quietly to him." Uncle A..."

" Hush, it's okay sweetheart..." Smiled A, he crouched next to the chair and brushed Eva's fringe away from her blue eyes and sighed." Take your time, you don't have to answer any of his questions if you don't want to..."

Eva looked down at her messy dark-haired doll in her hands, she sighed and spoke quietly to L." I was talking to my invisible friend and I dropped my apple down the stairs..."

" I believe that there is a 98% chance that Ichigo Jamu is lying..." Sighed L, he put his thumb to his lips as he stared at Eva and chewed his thumbnail." Lying is wrong, now if you would please tell me the truth..."

" Watch what you're saying panda detective! She doesn't lie!" Frowned A, he placed his hand on Eva's shoulder and glared at L." She is a good girl!"

" Ichigo Jamu's body language says different..." Said L, he removed his thumb from his lips and spooned some of his strawberry shortcake into his mouth. " She is lying..."

" She's 4 years old, she always sits like that!" Sighed A, he got up from the floor and rested his hand on the back of the chair. "So please don't call her a liar!"

" Akira, please control yourself..." Sighed L, he spooned another piece of his strawberry shortcake into his mouth and licked his top lip. " Ichigo Jamu, please don't make me repeat myself again..."

" It was the clown monster..." Whispered Eva as she looked up her Uncle and pulled at his jacket sleeve." No lies..."

" Clown monster don't exist..." Sighed L, he rested the tip of his spoon against his bottom lips and stared at A.

" Yes they do!" Frowned Eva, she looked over at L and stared at him. " He spoke to me!"

" Okay, calm down short stuff..." Sighed A, he stoked the back of Eva's head and looked over at L" You really don't know how to talk to children do you? You were the same with me and B when we were growing up. I often wonder how you talk to Blaze..."

L stared at A as he took a strawberry from his strawberry shortcake, he took a big bite out of the strawberry and slowly chewed it.

" Oh, the silent treatment! I remember getting it a lot at the Wammy House when I first asked you for help!" Frowned A as he ran his fingers through his blonde and blue streaked hair." You never change at all, no wonder B wanted to surpass you and look where that got him! "

" Uncle A, please don't fight..." Said Eva quietly, she pulled on her Uncle's jacket sleeve again and bit at her bottom lip. " I don't like when you shout.."

" Not now sweetheart..." Muttered A.

" Akira, please control your temper..." Sighed L.

" No! Did you even understand why B ran away from the Wammy House with SJ?! " Shouted A, he rested his hands on the kitchen table and took the half eaten strawberry from L's hand as he frowned." How about the pressure you put on me when I could live up to your standards! It's about time I had it out with you!"

Eva slowly slid from the chair she was sitting as her Uncle shouted at L, she crept over towards the kitchen door and walked through it when it slid open. She sighed to herself as she walked along the corridor towards the main task force room, the white coloured sliding electric doors opened and she walked into the main room. She made her way over to the sofa, she sat down next to her Auntie and sniffled.

" Uncle A is shouting at the panda detective again..." Sighed Eva, she looked up at her Auntie and frowned." I don't like when he shouts..."

" When is your Uncle A not shouting at Ryuzaki? " Asked Nonie.

" When it's bedtime..." Answered Eva.

" You're to cute!" Chuckled Nonie, she lifted Eva up from the sofa and placed her down on her lap as she smiled." Would you like a cuddle to make you feel better?"

" Am not!" Giggled Eva, she wrapped her arms around her Auntie and smiled." Yes please!"

" I'll talk to your naughty Uncle A when he comes back, okay?" Smiled Nonie as she wrapped her arms around Eva and cuddled her tightly." So don't get upset over it..."

" Okay!" Nodded Eva.
