I decided to call Misa and Light. She wasn't my type but I still cared. Mike was busy but we had to find how the blazes we could do the butter cheese and what we could do for the death note replacement. I was greeted by Misa sounding tired. "moshi moshi" she replied somewhat slurred sleep heavy in her voice. I laughed at how adorable she sounded. She seemed to perk up and greet me. I greeted her back asking how she was which she'd reply her customary "great". I knew if I was Ace or mike, she would be less scripted on her responses to me.
"I was wanting to know if you can put Light on the phone" I asked too tired to ask it in Japanese. The sides Misa knew English. She struggled for a few seconds yawning and trying to understand what I was saying.
"Moshi moshi?" Light responded yawning if I were anyone else he would be embarrassed.
"Morning Light" I replied in cheery voice not like Misa's sugar cheery though.
"morning how can I help you?" he replied in Japanese yawning again but also stretching and groaning.
"you know our project?" I asked
"Hai" he replied with a keep going kind of voice.
"I ran into two snags we need two different materials" I said kind of speaking in code in case his phone was bugged or could be shared so his entire team could hear.
"I'm listening what do you need?" he asked in English his body finally awake his voice wasn't tainted with sleep.
"I need to know how we are supposed to get the special and the whole advertisement" I replied and Light paused humming in thought.
"well tell the project manager they can be given at a later time" he said code for I'll tell you later when I havn't got people listening on me.
"Thank you for your contribution we will be looking forward to your donation" I replied and hung up. Code talk was something that came naturally to me and Ace but not to Mike. We sounded to others like we were actually project people Light invested in. We even had altered our voices without Ace altering her voice the only one we could speak without code to was Mello. He had accidentally picked up her phone thinking it was his. The rest was history as I talked into the phone telling Mello what was going on with our project without realizing it was him till he replied. Then he explained the importance of speaking in code. I started doing that with Light and it became habit.
I texted Mike. Mike texted me back after fifteen minutes leaving me to wonder if he was busy or just a slow texter. I then got a call from Light. I knew this was important so I asked my normal coded greeting. "when would you like the project done?" I asked.
"about the special you can make it using butter sure Japan hates it but it exists there. The advertisement is trickier I need to see what ideas you have in the advertisement" he said. This had me stunned as I had no idea what would be similar.
"umm I'll ask the product manager" I said so caught off guard I almost slipped. I then put him on hold and called Mike. It rang and rang but no answer came I didn't even leave a voicemail. I then returned to Light's call. "our manager is out of the office I'll pass along your message" I replied. I then got a sigh.
"in that case tell him Mia and I are going to be out of contact for a while a family emergancy came up and I'm in the states" Light replied and hung up. Ace had to get out of there fast. I texted Mike the results and dialed Ace's number. I prayed to god that I could save her.
