L stared at the task force expectantly. "Well?"
"We just TOLD you what happened!" Light pointed out.
L eyetwitched. "Explain why."
"Well," Soichiro began, "it all started when Matsuda told us that—"
He was cut off. "That was also your first error," L interrupted. "Think about it. You listened to Matsuda."
Everyone in the task force was silent, and just stared at each other in disbelief as they realized their fault (Don't get me wrong; I adore Matsuda! ^ ^ He's so adorable! But he's also really fun to pick on. XD).
L sighed and walked over to his chair. Just as he was about to sit down, he stopped. "Is the chair safe to sit down in…?" he asked cautiously.
Light thought for a moment. "Hmm…um, Dad? Is that the chair we set up with alarms?"
"Uh…I don't remember…" Soichiro admitted. L sighed again. He ended up sitting down on the floor, as did everyone else.
"Now, explain."
One Hour Earlier…
"Everyone, I've decided to take a break from the Kira case for one hour, while I go to the new candy store that just opened," L informed everyone. "Watari, I trust you to take care of things while I'm gone?"
"Yes, sir," Watari replied, bowing slightly.
"Alright, I won't be long." L walked out the door.
A few minutes after L left, Matsuda burst into the room, breathing heavily. "Guys, there's a problem!" he exclaimed.
Everyone looked up. "What is it, Matsuda? Did they fire your favourite singer or something?" guessed Light, bored.
"No! It's—there's…flies! There are a whole bunch of flies here in hq!" Matsuda explained quickly.
"…and why is that of concern…?" Soichiro asked. "Flies are harmless."
Matsuda shook his head. "No," he said, "not these ones!"
Everyone looked at him curiously.
"Well, you see…" Matsuda looked down shyly, "I left out a bunch of acid last night. You know, the type that burns through steel, or something?" Nobody bothered to ask why exactly he had acid that burned through things, and just let him continue to explain. "Well…this morning, I came back, and there were a whole swarm of flies around it, eating the acid!"
"So let me get this straight…" Aizawa said slowly, "You are freaking out because you are worried that a few flies are going to die from some acid? Matsuda, we have bigger things to worry about…like, you know…the Kira case, maybe? !"
"No no no!" Matsuda cried, frustrated. "I'm NOT worried about the flies! It's just that…flies puke whenever they land…and, well, you see…there were a bunch of holes in the chair near the acid that the flies ate. Some of the flies must have landed on it, puked acid, and then it burned holes through the chair! We need to protect the headquarters and kill all those flies!"
"For once, I agree with your idea!" Soichiro exclaimed. "Everyone, let's go and try to kill the flies! Don't let them land on you, or you could die!"
They all set off to accomplish their goal, with ideas of their own of what to do.
Current Time…
"So…this whole mess was caused by flies? !" L clarified, disbelievingly.
"Well…yes…" Matsuda confirmed timidly.
"And where were the intelligent minds during all of this?" L asked, glancing at Light and Watari.
Watari shrugged and Light looked away. "Well…" Light began quietly, "I figured that the holes in the chair was enough proof that Matsuda's story was accurate…"
"Are you talking about the chair in the Testing Lab?" L questioned.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Matsuda replied.
L squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to stay calm. "Because," he said through clenched teeth, "that chair is built with holes in it!"
"Oops…"
To Be Continued…
Short! D: I know! ^ ^ no one guessed flies. Well, actually, only one person guessed… What do you think of this? I don't know if everyone else finds it good, or if they think it sucks…please more reviews? ;~; they are my inspiration!
I'll update soon! Thanks for reading!
