The investigation team was watching the 11 o'clock news for any clues regarding the Kira case. To be more correct, Raito was watching the weather forecast and L was engrossed with his box of petit fours, courtesy of Matsuda's visit to the local bakery. ("Can you believe these were on sale? 100 yen each!") Chief Yagami and the others had gone home for the night -- their usual departure time was two in the morning, but after Raito saw the dark rings under his father's eyes, he'd done the sonly thing and insisted the older man go on home, he and L would take care of things here.
"…and a 70 chance of rain tomorrow, with clouds and a high of…"
"I suppose there may be more accidents tomorrow," L commented offhandedly, fork in mouth, though Raito did not miss the look L gave him from the corner of his eye.
Raito changed the channel, skimming through various programs (a cooking show, infomercials, a music video of happy Japanese girls singing in heavily accented English) until he found a station playing international news.
"…four out of the five suspects for the Kelly murder case died in their holding cells, the big trial only seven days away…"
Raito kept his surprise internal, but four out of five? What happened? He dutifully jotted down the names of the suspects as the anchorwoman continued with the story, but he wasn't really paying attention to the television set (he'd written these out earlier, after all). He chewed on the top of his pen and frowned as crumbs fell into the crack between the cushions of the sofa.
"Ryuuzaki, why don't you eat at the table?"
L countered with a small smile. "Is my eating disturbing your concentration, Raito-kun?" The dark-haired man leaned over, head almost resting on Raito's shoulder, and read the notes the other had taken.
"It's not that…" Raito began, irritated and exasperated.
"Hmm, you spelt Vachinovesky wrong," L pointed out, smudging the page with some cream. "It should be a 'y' at the end, not an 'i'."
