Chapter Two

I froze and stared at the body in horror. So… he was telling the truth.

"Rin? Rin! What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Kaito bellowed as he shook my shoulders. "Snap out of it!"

AS far as two feet away, I could hear Gumi screaming. She couldn't blame me, I tried to tell her. She didn't believe me.

Or more like she didn't believe in 'L'.

My phone beeped as I tried to dislodge myself from Kaito. I pulled it out of my pocket and struggled to read the message without anyone seeing it.

Because it was from 'L'.

'Now do you believe me?'

I burst into tears.

"Rin, honey, you okay?"

"I-I'm fine." I sniffed.

"Honey, do you want me to come over tomorrow? I could always just time off from work…"

"No, mom. I can't let you do that." I quickly added in. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"If you say so." Her tone was disbelieving.

"No, really, mom. I'm fine. I'm going to get ready for work now. Bye."

"Oh, bye honey."

I hung up and flopped back onto my bed. I'm not ready to go back to work just yet, Not yet. I had the lab reports delivered to me in my house, and they weren't good.

The man had apparently died from a slit neck. A simple way to kill them, and no evidences were left. No knife, no DNA, no fingerprints.

Same goes for the victim, he had no fingerprints, none at all. Forensics says it's been burned off, but that was before the murder. He also had no DNA to track, it was all gone. We had a John Doe in our hands.

'L' hasn't said anything since the message, and it already had been a week. As much I don't want to admit it, I miss his voice.

And just as I thought of that, my phone rang. I hurried to answer it, but it was just Kaito asking if I was alright.

"I'm fine." I slammed the phone down to the receiver.

I sighed and slumped back onto a chair. Why was I getting so agitated over a guy I've never met? Worse, the possible murderer of John Doe? As much as I want to know, the answer won't come to me that easily. I sighed again.

My phone rang again. I took the phone up and shrieked at it, agitated.

"Kaito, I'm not in the mood for one of your games so please just leave me alone!"

A chuckle.

"Someone's bad-tempered today, isn't she?" his voice was dark, and was completely different than before. His tone of indifference was still there though.

"… 'L'?"

"Yeah?"

I was taken aback by his answer, I certainly didn't expect that.

"Are you angry?"

I mentally slapped myself. Why did I even ask that?

"Why? Are you possibly… interested in me?"

"No!" I shouted. "I mean… no…"

Another chuckle.

"But yes, yes I am" His tone grew lighter. I sighed in relief.

"Why are you angry?"

"Because you called me Kaito." I could see the sad smile behind his tone, even though I had no idea how he looked like.

"Do you dislike being called another name?"

"I dislike being called another guy's name by you."

I fell silent.

"Rin," his voice flowed smoothly like a river in my mind. "until I can trust you, I'd like it better if you called me 'L'."

I stiffened.

"You… don't trust me?"

"I want to, but I can't. You're a high ranking detective. If I told you who I am, you might go around searching for me, as a suspect in a murder. Then I'll be in big trouble."

I bit my lip. It's not that I wanted to do that, but it's my job to.

"Look, Rin." He sighed. "I really want to meet you but… due to certain circumstances…"

"O-of course." I stammered.

"I have to go."

"Okay."

'Beeep.'

And that was the end of it.
