The medical examiner walked into her lab, slouched with coffee, her blonde hair tied into a messy bun, she tiredly lifted her eyes and stiffened instantly, 'Who the hell is in my lab?!' She narrowed her eyes and busted the door to the lab open full of rage, "Who the fuck are you?!"

Light sighed and took his gloves off and fished out his ID. He held it out for her without saying a word. "F.B.I? This escalated to their level?!" She started pacing, "But, my reports –"

"Aren't good enough for me. And yes, this case crosses state lines, making it a federal case. Though your reports are detailed, I needed to see it myself, I'm not calling you incompetent, it's just been my experience that a fresh pair of eyes never hurts. Do you mind?" Light turned back around at her nod and strapped on a new pair of gloves. He zipped the long black bag open. "Interesting, did you take blood samples?"

The medical examiner snorted, "Why would I do that?" She smirked and took a long drink of her coffee. 'Arrogant bastard.'

Light gave her a lame stare, "Because, her uterus was cut out with surgical precision, I wasn't sure if you had tested her blood for elevated Gonadotropin levels. I'll assume you didn't, as it wasn't in your report." He sighed, "By now, the viability of the blood has deteriorated beyond any lab work. Thank you." He slipped his gloves off and tossed them in the trash on his way out.

She blinked a couple of times watching the well dressed man leave, "What just happened?" She stepped over to her computer and began searching her records. "Why would the F.B.I come to this office? Do they know something no one else does?"

Light stepped out of the medical office and into the main floor of the police building. He replaced himself at his computer and typed into his file. He rubbed his eyes and typed, 'Due to the incompetence of local law enforcement, I am forced to wait for another victim, however, upon examination, what was not said in the report, was a vital organ was removed from every victim, their uterus. Unfortunately, a trend was never spotted by the medical examiners and they never followed up on blood work of the deceased, I can assume this is related to the Gonadotropin, or otherwise known as the human pregnancy hormone. Why else take that particular organ?' Light groaned and stretched in his chair burying his own fingers in his hair closing his eyes, 'Great, dumb cops, dumber examiners and one smart perpetrator. No wonder he or she is getting away with murder.'

The door opened and Light peaked one eye open, "Yes?" He mentally groaned at the detective who was supposed to meet him hours ago. He ended up breaking into the police station's office wing to gain access. 'About time.'

The blonde detective walked in, "I'm sorry, I just received your message, I see you found your way in anyway. The Ranger called me about twenty minutes ago to check up on us… Uh." He fidgeted with his fingertips and had bags under his eyes.

Light waved him off, "I don't care, I don't have time for excuses. I suggest you hire another medical examiner, though her reports were detailed, they were only detailed on specific things, that weren't pertinent." 'And she's a fucking idiot.'

The detective gave Light an angry stare, "Really? Have you even met her?"

Light groaned, "Yes, I did... Tell me I'm not partnered with the boyfriend." Light dropped his hands and sighed, "She has potential, but she needs to spend time with a more seasoned examiner."

The detective laughed, "No, she's my sister." He tiredly flopped himself in the chair across from Light and propped his head up using his fist. He crinkled his brow in tired thought, 'THIS is Agent R? Where did I go wrong with my life?'

Light sighed as the young examiner bursted into the door, "I did! I did take samples!" The detective jumped and grabbed the handles on the chair. She beamed with a huge smile.

Light forced a strained smile and bit his tongue from calling her no less than a bafoon. "Great! Can I have those reports?"

She smiled and slapped them on the desk. "Daniel, why are you here at night? Can he go? He was, like, on an all day shift."

Light was speed reading the reports and found what he was looking for, "Yeah, sure. See you in the morning, detective Hudson."

He nodded with appreciation, "Thank you… Wait, you'll be here in the morning, too?" Light nodded and waved him out. "Well… See you then, detective R."

The examiner sat down across from him, "My name is Amber. I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be as knowledgeable as you are." Light glanced up from the reports to see she was leaning over the desk, desperately trying to push her cleavage up. Light sighed slightly and set the reports down, "You're really handsome, are all the F.B.I guys like you?" 'Maybe if I get him talking... I can get information, anything extra would be great, but a bonus, he is actually very good looking...'

Light gave her a tired glare, "No." He set his hands on the desk and tapped the fingers of his left hand on it impatiently and raised his eyebrows staring her down.

She glanced down to see the golden band on his hand, "Oh? Married? Where abouts are you from?" She leaned a little closer, "Your wife doesn't have to know, it would already look suspicious, you being here with a young female, where she couldn't find you. In the middle of the night…"

Light smirked darkly, 'Is this an attempt on outwitting me?' "He. And yes, I think my husband would know. He knows exactly where I am and who I'm working with. And he isn't threatened." He sat back in his chair lifting the reports, "He has no reason to be."

Amber sat back down in the chair and groaned, "Of course, my dream guy would be gay."

Light shot her an irritated stare, "Is there anything else you need from me? I really need to get started."

She grumbled and lifted herself from the chair, "No. Have a nice night, if you need anything else from my reports I'll be in my lab." She rolled her eyes on her way out, 'Damnit!'

Light looked back down to the reports and continued his file while shaking his head. As she left the room Light called Sayu. The line rang for a while before she sleepily picked up, "R. News?"

"It appears as women are being hunted and killed while they are in the early stages of pregnancy." His voice was tired and slightly ragged.

Sayu groaned, "You're kidding right?"

"Afraid not. The level of skill it would take to remove what they've been removing would require years of experience, it also seems they're being drugged. More likely by someone they trust."

"How do you know?" This seemed to grab Sayu's interest more.

"Ketamine. It's in every report, they were all drugged. That being said, I'm looking for someone with an extensive medical background. Perhaps, an obstetrician or a gynecologist." Light folded his arms and sighed.

"R… I'm not going to ask why you know all that."

"It's my job to know everything, S."

She sighed, "Send me your findings so it can be archived. You and B are the only ones to get back to me yet. Though... This week is the week of Fat Tuesday. I expect not to hear from L until he's solved the case and can't move from eating too many doughnuts. We might need to air lift him out of New Orleans." She laughed lightheartedly.

Light nodded and sent the file to her, "I'm going to need the information on all of those doctors that operate within Florida and Texas… Can't be that many… Right?" He chuckled at the mental image of chibi fat L.

"One is too many if your theory is right, I'll send you the information, do me a favor? Get some sleep, you sound like you're dying." She let out a deep yawn.

Light smirked, "Probably because I had to fend off the advances of a very forward woman."

She laughed, "Don't tell L. He'll fly down there just to make a point."

Light chuckled, "Yeah. He would." Light smiled softly.

Amber sat below the office window listening through the slightly cracked door, 'R? L? S?Who are these guys, really?' She darted to her office and started searching for the mysterious L, only reports and miscellaneous information could be found, until she stumbled on a webpage that was dedicated to him, "Oh shit. L… Is…" She picked up her cell phone and quickly dialed a number. "We've got problems. L is investigating us!"

Light smirked at the not so subtle female, 'I wonder if she honestly didn't think I noticed the door?'
