Chapter 52
The Show Must Go On
Near sent Ridner and Lester to pick up Mogi and Amane, by my request. I didn't want Amane involved in this anymore. I leaned against the wall and looked at the ground. I closed and my eyes and sighed.
"I miss you." I whispered.
About an hour after Lester and Ridner had picked them up, Light called us.
"Near."
"What is it, L?"
"We lost track of Mogi and Amane Misa."
"Yes, we invited them over here."
"Why's that?"
"It was a request."
"Near, abduction is a crime. Please stop at once."
"But Mr. Mogi and Amane accepted happily. Especially after finding out who invited them."
"Well who the hell 'invited' them?"
Near looked at me and I took the microphone.
"I did. Nyamo Lawliet, L's wife."
"So you came back? It's good to hear from you Nyamo-san."
I rolled my eyes.
"You can't play pretend with me Light. I know how you work. I won't let you harm Amane anymore. And if you write her name down, or tell 'someone else' to….I'll know it was you. I'll find you Yagami Light, I made that promise almost five years ago."
I handed the microphone back to Near.
"I will connect you to Mogi and Amane now."
After Light was done with them, Near hung up. I sat on the floor in front of Near. He made small dolls to represent us all. He even made one of me. I picked it up and looked at it.
"You made me look the way I used to. Why?"
"Because that's who you really are. L fell in love you Nyamo Kagurazaki, he would always want you to be the one he fell in love with."
I smiled at him and looked at the doll he made of L.
"Have I ever told you that you're a genius?"
He grinned and nodded. We got a call from Geovanni.
"Near! I've succeeded in touching the notebook. I don't see a Shinigami."
I frowned.
"That means he's not the real owner of the notebook. I remember one of the rules saying that the Shinigami would only stay with the real owner of the notebook." I said.
Near nodded and pulled up Mogi and Amane.
"Mr. Mogi, according to the rules of the death note, how long can someone be manipulated before their death?" Near asked.
"According to the date from the Yotsuba incident, twenty three days."
"Are you sure?" Near asked.
"Yes. The killings from the Yotsuba Incident were enough to prove it."
"Thank you very much."
Near hung up and I started thinking.
"For now there is a possibility Geovanni is being controlled to say a Shinigami isn't around. We'll arrange for a showdown with Light after twenty four days…and we'll carry it out if Geovanni is still alive then."
Lester and I looked at each other uncertainly. We were both worried about Geovanni.
"Also, I want photos of the notebook."
"Photos?"
"Whether or there were any patterns as he wrote the names and exactly what kind of notebook it is. Nyamo's given us a description, but that can only get us so far. I would like to see all the details for myself."
We nodded and told Geovanni. He got the pictures and they were expertly taken.
"How's this Near?" Lester asked.
"Yes, Geovanni has done a fantastic job. The handwriting matches that of Mikami's prosecution reports. Without a doubt these were written by Mikami….if that's case it can be done."
I could only smile.
