OK, I promised to update regularly so here is my "regularly": I will update on Saturdays and Wednesdays unless I can't for some reason, in which case I'll tell you beforehand. If I don't update on a Wednesday or a Saturday, without telling you anything, it's probably my internet messing up (it's been a bit funny lately) Sound good to you? Anyway, it is a Saturday now so here's the next chapter! (Please review... I haven't had ANY reviews for the last chapter !)

Elle
I rush downstairs.
"Evie! I've found out about Raye Penber!" She comes rushing up to meet me.
"What have you found out?"
"He was an FBI agent who was hired by L to follow Light Yagami. We already knew that. Anyway, he was killed by Kira along with the other FBI agents following other people. But the interesting part is that before he died, he apparently displayed some odd behaviour. And on top of that, his fiancée, who L had worked with in the past, commited suicide shortly after his death. L said that she wasn't the sort of person who would do that." I finish off.
"That's brilliant! So, they focussed on the people Raye Penber was following, and that lead L to Light Yagami?" I nod.
"Yes. But they didn't see what I did. I saw Light manipulate that man into showing him his ID."
"So we're decided. Light Yagami is definitely Kira?" I nod.
"Definitely. But we have a big problem." Evie seems to realise this too, as her face falls.
"We don't have any proof, do we?" I shake my head.
"This is going to be difficult, but at least now we know who to focus on." I get a sudden idea, and once again pick up my phone.
"Who are you phoning this time?" Evie asks incredulously. I haven't used my phone this much for weeks!
"I'm just getting back in contact with an old friend of mine."
I hold my breath, hoping that the phone number is still the same as it was before. Ring ring... ring ring...
"Hello?" Yep, it definitely sounds like her...
"Sayu? Is that you?" A pause.
"Yes, this is Sayu. Who is this?" I let my breath out.
"Hello Sayu, it's Elle! Remember me?"
"Elle! Ohmygod, of course I remember you! I haven't spoken to you in ages! So, what's with the random call?"
"I saw Light in town the other day, and I remembered I hadn't talked to you in ages, so I decided to phone up and see how you were doing. I like catching up with people like that."
"Aww, Elle, that's really nice of you! Hey, I've got an idea. How about instead of just talking on the phone and wasting your credit like this, you come round here? Nobody else is at home, and I'm really bored. We can catch up with eachother face to face!" I jump to my feet. This is a perfect opportunity!
"Really Sayu? I'd love to! Thanks very much!" Sayu giggles.
"You do remember the way to our house, right?"
"Of course I do! So, I'll see you in a minute!"
"See you!" She puts the phone down. I grab my shoes and shove them on, walking towards the door.
"Wait, Elle! Where are you going?" Oops. Looks like I got a little excited there.
"I'm going to Light Yagami's house!" I grin. "Remember I was friends with his little sister?"
"Oh!" Evie grins. "Well then, you'd better go. See you later, and good luck with finding stuff."
"Bye!" I call, and leave the house.
"Hey Elle!"
"Sayu! Hi!"
"Come in! Have you had lunch?" I have to stop for a second to think about that. Breakfast, lunch and tea have ceased to exist for me. I just get through the day on constant snacking. But I'm not particularly hungry right now, so...
"Yeah, I've had some. So, how have you been?"
"I've been fine! It's got a bit boring at home though, because Light and dad are hardly ever here. At least mum's still at home a lot. I wish they would just hurry up and catch Kira already..." she sighs.
"Me too," I say, and sigh. "Never mind. He will be caught eventually."
"Do you think so?"
"Yes." We sit down on the sofa. "No matter how clever he is, there's people like... L, your brother and your dad on the case." And me, but I'm not going to say that. "It might take a while, but I'm fairly sure that eventually he'll be caught."
"I hope so." She yawns. "So, about you? What have you been doing in all this time?"
"I..." I begin, but am interrupted by a loud crash. Sayu leaps up, startled.
"What was that?" I ask.
"I don't know..." she walks out to the front door to look. And then she screams.
I jump to my feet, running the way Sayu had gone.
"Sayu?" I freeze as I see severalmen with guns pointed at Sayu. One of them points his at me. I stare at him, shocked. What the hell is going on?
"Mello? There's another one. What shall we do with her?" He calls. A blonde guy with a chocolate bar walks forwards and looks at me. He sighs and turns to the guys with guns.
"Oh, you couldn't get her at a time when she was alone, could you? No, you had to come in when there was someone else in the house as well? You're rubbish kidnappers." He takes a bite of the chocolate, looking very evil as he does so. "Oh well. I guess we'll just have to take her with us too. We can decide what to do with her later. Come on then, you two. You know how this goes. Come with us or I'll tell them to shoot you." Wait, we're being kidnapped? Mello snaps his gloved fingers. "Blindfolds?" He demands. Well, three guesses who's in charge here.
"We've only got one." One of the men with guns says. Mello sighs.
"Well make another one then! We can't have either of them knowing where we are going! Tear up your shirt or something, just do it quickly! I want this to be over as quickly as possible." One of the men reluctantly tears a strip off his shirt and hands it to me. Mello hands the other blindfold to Sayu.
"Put them on."
"Why are you kidnapping us?" I ask. Sayu is too shocked to speak.
"Never mind that, just shut up. I'll tell you when we get there. Anyway, it's not you we want, it's your friend. We'll decide what to do with you when we get there. For now, just shut up and put the goddamn blindfold on!" I sigh and do as he tells me, seeing as these don't seem like the sort of people who would be afraid to use their guns.
All this was meant to be was a visit to an old friend's house, and it turned into a kidnapping? How did this happen? And why would they want to kidnap Sayu anyway? It must be something to do with Kira. That's the only logical reason I can think of.
"You got any phones?" Someone asks. I shake my head, knowing that they'll look for one anyway. Sure enough, a minute later my phone is wrenched out of my pocket. I wish I'd put it somewhere less likely to get discovered now. But then again I had no idea anything like this was going to happen!
"Liar. I'll take that. Come on then, get them in the van." I gasp as someone picks me up and bundles me over their shoulder. What are they trying to achieve? A nasty thought hits me suddenly. They're only after Sayu, but they don't need me. I'm just in the way. Judging by the guns, these aren't people who would give a second thought about killing someone just because they were in the way. Does that mean they're going to kill me?
