Light was severely annoyed. It had been exactly one week since he had been informed about the trip he was being forced into with L. What annoyed Light most about the situation, however, was that L refused to tell him exactly where they were going.

The detective was being incredibly elusive about it. Light was not sure why L wasn't telling him where on earth they were going, but he was determined to figure it out. Light tried picking out certain clues in order to piece them together. He figured if he put enough of the pieces together he'd know where they were going.

So far, Light had narrowed it down to the European Union. It would be one of these countries in the European Union that they were headed to. The few clues he had managed to collect led him to come to this conclusion.

The first clue had come when L specified what Light needed to pack in his suit case for the trip. Most of the clothes asked to be brought were meant for colder weather. A snow suit was asked to be brought too. This meant that they were going to has a cooler climate.

The second clue came when Light was told by L to either get a passport or re-new one he may already have. This definitely meant they were going out of the country, but that was still a large area to discern one exact location, even when you narrowed it down to places that are cold.

The third and final clue was the one that gave Light the belief that they were headed to a country in the European Union. It was when L had asked Light's father to exchange money for the trip. When Light's father had dropped off the money for Light, he found they were Euros.

This was the best clue of all. Why? Currently the European Union has 27 member states or independent sovereign countries. Those countries being Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

This seemed to narrow the search considerably. There were only 27 countries standing in Light's way of knowing what he needed to. Now Light only needed was one more clue and he'd have it. Although it was a bit late for that considering they were on their way to the airport.

Watari was driving the two young men quietly in the limo. Light stared out the window as he moved his arms freely around him due to the fact the handcuffs had been taken off. This was only a temporary thing, however. L said it would be troublesome going through the airport security wearing them. Light glowered.

Light subtly turned his head to look at the insomniac. L was silently nibbling his thumb as he sat in his crouched position. His large dark eyes caught Light's gaze and he turned his head to stare back at him. Light frowned and then finally decided to ask what had been bugging the past two days.

"So Ryuzaki, where exactly are we going in the European Union? I imagine it's going to be fairly cold there judging by the clothes I packed?" Light asked smoothly with an arrogant look on his face. L just continued nibbling on his thumb before finally lowering his hand.

"I see you managed to figure it out mostly. You were always a perceptive person Yagami-kun. However, you will have to wait a bit longer before I reveal where we are going," L replied back just as smoothly and let his Jack Skellington like smile spread across his face. Light frowned deeper now.

"Well when? Will I find out on the plain? That isn't entirely fair Ryuzaki…" Light said irritably. L said nothing and turned back to the window. The rest of the ride to the airport continued in silence.

They arrived shortly after the conversation had ended. Light now dragged his suitcase slowly behind him as he followed L in silent simmering anger. The famous detective couldn't have looked any stranger walking through the airport.

L walked in his slumped hunch and had his arm slung back carrying his suitcase at a tilted angle, which made the wheels squeak as they scraped against the ground. His untied tennis shows clacked against the floor as well, shoe laces flying up and down as he walked.

They stopped in the check-in line. While they were standing there, Light realized two things. One was that L would have to give him his ticket before they checked their luggage, which meant he would finally found out where they were going. Secondly, L would have his passport.

Passports are a main form of identification. They have all the various pieces of information about the person possessing it. It had a person's nationality, birth date, sex and most importantly…their name.

After registering this in his head, Light inched closer to L. The detective didn't seem to be paying attention and dug in his pocket for what the two needed to check their bags. L pulled out various papers and held them out in front of them. Light hovered over L now in anticipation now. The insomniac finally took notice of Light.

"Is there something you need Yagami-kun?" L asked as he finally adjusted his suitcase to stand properly. Light didn't want to appear too eager, but the curiousty was currently eating away at him slowly.

"What did you do for a passport?" Light asked. L blinked and brought up his red passport. Light was even more interesting now. A red passport meant it was from Europe. Without waiting for any kind of reply, Light ripped the passport out of L's hands.

Light opened it up only to become disappointed. The name printed neatly on the passport was obviously an alias. In large black print under name it read 'John Smith'. Light sighed. L saw Light's disappointed look.

"I can assure you that is not my name, Kira-kun…" L said before nibbling on his thumb again while looking at the flight schedule. Light's eyes narrowed at the Kira comment. He grounded his teeth together.

"I'm not Kira, and I automatically assumed that wasn't your real name. Just give me the ticket already…" Light demanded finally having enough of this nonsense. L held out the crumpled papers he had pulled out of his pocket earlier. The young teen snatched the ticket out of L's hand and glanced at the ticket. His eyes widened in utter disbelief.

"Now that you're aware of where we are going, are you content?" L asked as he tilted his head to the side. Light was still in complete shock. His mouth hung up open like a dead fish that had just gotten its head chopped off.

"We're going to Germany?" Light stuttered out staring down at the ticket clenched in his hand. L tried not to smile at the bewildered teen standing in front of him.

"Ja, Wir gehen nach Deutschland (1)," L replied perfectly back to Light in German. Light blinked. The wheels in his mind turned and spun as they normally did, but absolutely nothing was coming to him.

"What did you just say?" Light asked completely confused. At this point, L did let the smile he was holding back come to the surface.

The second chapter is complete. If you noticed the (1) earlier, that means I'll be putting the translations down here. YAY! I hope you're enjoying it. I do have fun writing these chapters. They're shorter than how I normally write chapters, probably because I write bigger than I type. Loll. Please review. It makes me happy.

Translations:
