A flash of lightning and a figure smirking with a knife shining in his hands. One second later, the poor girl fell on her knees like some kind of praying as she bled from her stomach. The figure smirked and left the bleeding woman. Before closing the door. The pretty blond woman was on her knees had blue eyes and was wearing white stained with her blood. She looked at her killer's retreating back. "Why?" she rasped before her spirit departed.
It was a day of almost normality for Wammy's House. The orphans were outside playing except for one who stayed inside solving the white puzzle with a black L. The white-haired one was pale and almost albino as he had no red eyes and wore white. He was the one with the highest skills except in athletics.
His rival and runner up was playing soccer outside. His pale skin mostly shielded from the sun due to his black, long-sleeved shirt and baggy black sweat pants. His ice-blue eyes scanning the movement of the black and white sphere like a cat. His chin-length, golden blond hair was being blown from his running. The bob hairstyle made him look like a girl which he took advantage of for certain assignments.
Speaking of those. An old man came over. His skin was pale and his hair was white with glasses on. He was very skinny. "Mello you are requested for in the office," he said and the blond frowned. He didn't misbehave that he knew of it meant that it could be anything. Last time it was L telling him that one of his credit cards got stolen and Matt had to cancel it before some hacker got a million dollars.
Mello ran to the office and saw it was L in person. This had to be bad. "M I'm sorry to call you at this hour" The raven headed, lean, pale, sugar-addicted, detective said as he ate what was a bunch of strawberries. The blond shook his head. In a way, he was happy to get this close to his idol. He and he alone got missions from L. Even if he was not a successor, he was still L's eyes and ears on cases where Wateri could never go.
"None the less we have a dire emergency. I'm sure you heard in the news another killer is on the loose" L said Mello swallowed there had to be something about the case that pertained to him. "They were all prior residents of Wammy's House even if not in the main branch," he said and signaled Wateri for something which turned out to be a box. "There are disks from all the dead members in there we need to find out who killed them" He replied before grabbing his cup and putting sugar cubes in it.
"Shouldn't you be checking?" Mello inquired.
"I've got a case already, I can not be in two places at once even if I have three identities." L said sighing. "A serial killer in Africa has been slaughtering captains of ships in their houses." he continued and Mello took the box. "You will be undercover under the identity of A" L added on before dismissing the runner up of his succession.
The blond went upstairs. His redheaded roommate was not up there. He looked and saw the cigarette carton of his friend was gone too. Matt had to be up on the roof smoking. Mello grabbed the box and both laptops. He left the room and went to the bell tower where Matt would be at the top smoking a cigarette.
The blonde reached his destination. He greeted Matt who noticed the contents the blond was carrying. "Did you have to carry my baby all the way up here?" he asked in shock. The blond gave him the laptop and box shrugging his shoulders. The redhead sighed. "well I guess there is no helping it lets see what's in the box. " He said taking a drag between two fingers and exhaling.
