Hi there guys. You're going to have to forgive me for not updating in a gazillion years :/ Dramatic things have been happening and my heart hasn't been in my story. I put this chapter together a bit too quickly, I can admit. But I hope it does pay off for not updating for so long. Review please :)

The two crime-solving experts walked away from the crime scene eagerly. L was naturally calm about the whole situation, but he felt like he had much more to say to Isabella for what she had accomplished for Wammy's House. He wished to ask her everything about what had happened before he arrived, but he figured that she should just continue her night and then ask her tomorrow morning. Isabella on the other hand, was trying to allow all of the previous events sink into her mind. What she had done, good or bad, was now engraved in her soul forever. She was still a little shaky of what her grandfather would say when he found out that she had actually killed someone. She didn't remember what his reaction was when he saw Mello kill Clarissa. There was way too much killing to be dealt with in one night, so she decided to put it aside until tomorrow morning as well.

L and Isabella quickly got to the garden door, the one that brought them back into the house. A few crime scene investigators were inspecting Estranged's body with complicated tools. Isabella blinked quickly to get the image of Beyond killing Estranged out of her own mind.

L pulled open the door and let Isabella walk in first. She nodded in thanks and walked into the house. She had this nervous sensation in her because she was so curious as to what everyone would say. She knew practically everyone in that ballroom and she didn't want to lose their trust.

For the time that Bella and L were walking to the ballroom, they remained silent. Isabella's hands were trembling and she didn't ant to speak about what had just happened.

Finally, they approached the huge ballroom door. Isabella stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath in. L looked at her, "Are you positive you want to face everyone at this moment? You know, we could wait if you desire." She shook her head, "No…I have to do this. I need to let everyone know that they're safe here. And plus, my night still needs to go on." He nodded in return as well. He clasped his thin and pale hand around the door knob and turned it to the right. He pulled it out towards him and the door opened; revealing everyone in the ballroom. They were silent as well. Isabella stepped in before L and walked a few steps into the ballroom. She made eye contact with almost everyone there.

They all had their expensive gowns and suits on, while her beautiful blue dress had awkward spots of blood on it. She was sure that they could've guessed what had happened already just by looking at her.

Matt and Mello were standing next to each other, looking at her hardly. Their emotion wasn't present and it seemed like they were just waiting to what she had to say. She wasn't even sure if any of the guests had known that B was officially dead.

Phoenix and Maya, along with Pearl at their side, were standing together as well. Pearl had a strawberry doughnut in her hand and she was picking at it as she watched L look at her with a jealous glare.

Wammy was standing close to Bethany with his hands clasped together. His cheeks were rosy and his wise eyes focused on the blood stains on Isabella's dress. He nodded, letting her know that it was all right to explain what had happened.

She looked at all the dozens of guests, who were eagerly waiting as well. Almost all of them had some type of beverage or snack in their hand. She was wondering if all they did was pick at the antipasto table while she was fighting for their lives.

L closed the door behind him and stepped besides her. He looked at her and smiled. Everything was alright. She cleared her throat and took a scan of the crowd again.

"Um...Hi." She started off. Near tsked his tongue and Matt elbowed him. She continued, "I'm sure all of you want to know why I was missing for so long…right?" Her voice was uneasy. A few members of the house nodded eagerly.

"Beyond Birthday, the serial killer, was with me this entire time. I…found him in the garden area outside of here. What I also found, was a body." She said. A few gasps were heard from the audience. "It belonged to Estranged Amane, the pop idol, Misa-Misa's late sister. Her body was never found or analyzed until now. The crime scene investigators, along with the ambulance, are outside right now as well." She continued. She noted that Clarissa's body wasn't there anymore, and she guessed that the paramedics went in the ballroom and took the body away already.

"Basically, I just want to let you all know that you are all safe now. Beyond attempted to kill L and I, but the details of that will be kept confidential until further notice. Let's just forget that all of this happened...okay? I'm sure there will be stories on the news about this but as of right now, let's have some fun." She continued. L put his arm around her and grinned while she put on a calming smile of her own.

Matt stepped out of the group, "C'mon guys, get the music on! I do recall L saying something about one special dance." He winked at Isabella and she nodded. L faced her and took her hand into his. She smiled broadly once again and dug her face into his chest while the lights dimmed and their dance began.
