The next morning, while Matsuda was making coffee for L, I was watching him absent-minded.

"Why are you putting so much sugar?" I asked him while he was adding 12 tablespoons of sugar.

"Ryuzaki says sugar helps him to concentrate, as well as the sweets"

"He'll get fat eating so many sweets"

"That's what I told him. But he said that if you use your mind while eating sugar, you burn calories. But the weird thing is that he believes it! Today in the morning he ate three chocolate souffle and seven strawberry cakes! I wonder how his body can stand it..."

"Well... He's used to it" I answered

We started talking about this. But Matsuda said in all of sudden:

"Marina-chan. Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Of course, not. It doesn't matter how others see you. At least, you know who you are"

"It's not only the words. It's also the chores they assign me to do. What can I do to solve the case? Nothing. The only thing I can do is making coffee for Ryuzaki. Maybe the day I will be useful, will never come..."

"It will! It's up to you to show them you can. As for me, I don't think you're an idiot" I said smiling

"If you were a real idiot, you wouldn't become a policeman, which it's a so significant job"

Later in the afternoon, Matsuba said he will go out for an afternoon walk.

The hours were passing and he didn't show up. Eventually, three hours passed, and we started worrying. Some of us, called him on his cellphone, but every time the answering machine came out.

"What the heck is he doing so many hours?" I wondered

"Maybe he put on his earphones and listened to music" Mogi assumed

"Do you think he's listening to music for so many hours? What he's listening to? The Sound of Music?" Aizawa said

"Maybe he met a girl and he dated her" I said laughing

Then a message on L's computer, was sent from Watari.

"We just received a danger signal from Matsuda's belt"

"Where it comes from?" L asked

"It seems it comes from Yotsuba's secret base"

"From Yotsuba?!"

"What?!"

"Why he's there?"

"This idiot..."

Everyone started talking loudly.

"Shut up!" L shouted, beating his hand against the table.

We zipped it when we heard him.

"He's in Yotsuba. They may have already caught him because they realized he was a police officer. I will call him to see what's happening. If someone is capable to hear what I say from the earphone, I'll pretend to be his friend"

L took out his phone to call him.

"Hey, Matsui!" He said changing his voice.

"I'm Kotaro! Heheheh... Long time no see!... Wait. I don't hear you be outside. Are you at home? Are you alone?... Oh... Okay"

He hold the earphone away from his ear.

"He says he's alone. But I'll continue talking to him as a friend to be sure..."

He put the earphone on his ear again.

"Do you want to hang out together? Oh... I see. It's okay we'll meet next time. Peace and love! Bye!"

L hung up the phone.

"Matsuda says he's in trouble. That probably means the members of Yotsuba are keeping him captive. Or maybe they've already locked him in a cell"

"That's ridiculous! Imprisoning a police officer..." I commented

"You're right, Marina-san" L agreed

"But we don't know yet if they imprisoned him, or did to him something else. Anyway we have to save him, as soon as possible"

"Yes, but how we can do this? Yotsuba's target is the police. How can we escape from them?"

"I have already a plan" He answered

"It's dangerous and unrealistic, but there's no other choice. Listen.

I will call Matsuda and I will tell him to say to the members, he isn't a policeman, but Misa's manager, and that the costume he wears is a Halloween costume. Also, is scheduled a Halloween party dedicated to the members they're Misa's fans. Then I will call Misa and if she has free time, we can make a real celebration. If she has not free time, we'll find another way. During this celebration, Matsuda will pretend he's drunk and he'll climb to a balcony. As for us, we will be downstairs, and we will grab him with a stroma. As for Marina-san, she has almost the same height as Matsuda, so she'll dress up just like him and she'll lie down to the street. Then we will call an ambulance, which is not a real ambulance. It will be the patrol, but we will convert it into an ambulance, and we will take inside the girl"

We all agreed this was ridiculous and dangerous, and that there's no way to make it. He admitted he wasn't much sure either. However, it was the only way to save Matsuda.

L called Matsuda again to explain to him what the plan is about. Fortunately, as he told us, no one was around him, so L could explain. Then he called Misa. She was about to finish the filming of a movie. She said she will tell to other girls who are her partners, to take part in the plan to be realistic.

L went to the basement of the building, and he came back with pieces of cardboard, foam, and paints. They weren't simple materials for construction. They were specially made for cases like this. He made Matsuda's clothes as he wore them before he goes out.

Within 10 minutes, cardboard and foam had been turned into clothes. They seemed so realistic that you would be 100% sure they were real clothes!

After making the garment of the patrol, we put on it and we were ready to rescue.

The secret base of Yotsuba, was not too far away. We could just go on foot, but since we have the patrol, what's the reason for walking?

We went to the 14th floor, which was a warehouse, and Yotsuba was above it, so anyone couldn't know we were there. (At least is what we though)

Suddenly, Matsuda called L.

"I'm in the bathroom and they can't hear me. The fake celebration is on. Everything goes right. Where are you?"

"Perfect..." L answered with satisfaction

"We are on the 14th floor. Pretend you're drunk as we said. We will catch you with the stroma and Marina-san will lie down the street, pretending she's you, wearing the fake clothes"

"Yes, I know..." He said and he hung up the phone.

I wore the "clothes" and I waited until my turn comes. Fortunately, the door in the balcony was open, so we could hear what's happening inside.

"Ooohh! Life's amazing!" Matsuda said happily

"What's up guys? Everything's alright? Glad to hear it! It's very important to have a healthy life!"

"He's drunk!" Someone shouted

"Aahh! Maybe is contagious!" A woman shouted

"Guys! You don't need to worry about anything! Life's too short! So let's enjoy it!"

Matsuda went out the balcony and he climbed to the gunwale.

"What are you doing?! You're gonna fall!" They shouted

"Now... I present to you... Matsuda's showtime!"

He lifted his legs on the air in a vertical way. Below him, the chief and Aizawa were holding the stroma to catch him.

Matsuda landed into the stroma, and one of us threw a pillow to be real someone fell. I immediately lied down in the place pillow was thrown. Mogi started shouting in a non-realistic voice:

"Oh my! Someone's injured! I must call an ambulance!"

Everyone in the building was upset. I heard some of them saying:

"At least, he has killed himself. We didn't need to kill him"

"So you knew from the start, he was a policeman"

"Of course, but I didn't tell you to kill him to see what's on his mind"

"I guess no one from Yotsuba got us. The appearance of the petrol as an ambulance, is very realistic" said Light, when they got me into the patrol.

"I agree but... Matsuda is totally an idiot" said L biting his thump

Outside the patrol, I heard Mogi talking to an unknown male voice. Perhaps he was a member of Yotsuba.

"What happened here?" He asked as if he didn't know

"Someone was killed, jumping from the 15th floor, because he was drunk" The voice answered

"Oh, I see... And what's his or her name?"

"His name was Matsuda, I guess..."

"Matsuda was drunk?!" Mogi laughed changing his voice

"Do you know about him?"

"Of course! Hahahahahah!! Poor guy!"

Mogi continued laughing until he got into the patrol-ambulance.
