1st September

"Akio Bando, 27 years, male. Cause of death, mass hemorrhaging. Estimated time of death, between 10pm and 11pm. He was found by his neighbors' when they noticed blood on the sidewalk. Our second victim is, Chiyo Doi, 35 years, female. Cause of death, drowning. Estimated time of death, between 9am and 10am. She was found by her personal trainer where they usually meet up for practice, we are still unsure as to how she drowned as there was no sources of water around. We believe that the killer may have provided the water. These deaths bring our death count up to five." Aizawa sat down heavily in his chair, his hair bouncing long after he had sat.

"Thank you for that Aizawa," Chief Yagami said, looking over the gathered team which now included L and Watari. "We didn't get anything from the crime scenes to help us find the perpetrator either..." He was cut off when someone loudly rapped upon the door calling for admittance. "Yes, come in," Chief Yagami called, the team looking to the door in interest.

"There's someone here who claims to have information about the Power killer. Should I send him in?" One of the officers asked, looking around at the gathered Powers with interest in his eyes.

Chief Yagami flicked his eyes towards L and was given a small nod in return, flicking them back to the officer and nodding in agreement. "Yes please send them straight in." He asked and the team watched as the officer turned to someone standing out of eye line to pass on the message.

Seconds later chief Yagami felt his heart leap in his chest and his mouth fall open in shock as his eldest walked casually into the task force board room. He was wearing a pair of leather gloves on hands holding a take-out coffee cup, a leather jacket to go with his leather pants and biker boots and a pair of dark tinted glasses hide his eyes from view. Though from what they could make out, his face was set in a bored expression.

"Morning all, aren't we looking chipper this fine day?" Light asked in a preppy, carrying voice as he came to a standstill leaning against a wall behind Aizawa, sipping on his beverage with a small smirk.

"Light," Chief Yagami couldn't help but exhale softly as he struggled to regather his composure.

"May I ask why Light-kun has decided to drop by?" L asked, the rest of the room's occupants silent as they watched their boss and son. Matsuda was practically bouncing in his seat, eyes flickering between the father and son and worrying his bottom lip between his teeth.

Light made an annoyed clucking sound with his tongue as he swirled his cup between his fingers. "You were the one who turned up on my doorstep all those days ago accusing me of being a murderer. I'm just here to tell you what I found out and then I'm off." He took a drink and crossed his legs at the ankles. "What should I call you by the way? We've met twice and not once have you offered up your name."

Chief Yagami straightened and answered the question before L could. "His name is Ryuzaki, he and Watari are both here on behest of L. They're helping with the investigation." Chief Yagami could remember how much Light had admired the mysterious Power back when he was younger, and was hoping that the information may be enough to bring him back home.

"L, huh? Pretty interesting guy, how many shinigami deaths have you ordered? Three? More?" Lights attention remained focused on L and chief Yagami felt mildly disappointed at the failed attempt to get his sons attention on him.

"You said you had some information for us?" L asked, not even bothering to answer Light's question.

Light made yet another clucking sound, a sneer on his face before he answered. "It's not much, turns out people are unwilling to snitch on a shinigami Power no matter how much you threaten them." The young man said in a blasé fashion, chief Yagami felt a swirl of horror at the comment but made sure to bite his tongue. "The shinigami is a high level Level 4 Power, but I'm sure you've worked that out already, Caucasian, average height; though apparently slightly taller then I am, black hair, red eyes and he," Light stressed the word, "is believed to be 25 or 26 years old. He's been moving in and out of rundown hotels along the villain, norm sector line and has yet to appear in the Villain sector of the city. One person says that at one of the killings he was wearing a black sweater and dark navy blue jeans and he'd driven a white van with the license plate THG54L, I looked into it and discovered that the van had been burnt to a crisp that same night therefore destroying any and all evidence it held."

'I can't believe that he gave this up for a life of crimes, he's always been so smart and good at things like this.' Chief Yagami felt a wave of melancholy wash over him as he gazed at his son.

"How'd you find all this out anyway?" Aizawa asked, suspicion heavy in his tone. "Unless you always knew more then you were letting on."

"Aizawa, don't go saying things like that!" Matsuda exclaimed, looking at his elder in shock.

"You're welcome to try and prove that," Light retorted with a feral grin, fingers gripping tightly on the coffee cup that the cardboard crackled. "I just came to give you guys some info, use it if you need it, or forget about it, I don't care." Light straightened his position and began to walk towards the closed door, hesitating for a brief moment near the display boards they were using for the victims. "Someone of his Level would need to provide a physical means of drowning Chiyo, he would need a drink bottle or something that holds water and he'd have to force it down her throat for his ability to work. A Level 5 shinigami could use the moisture in the air to drown someone." With that bit of information Light left the room without a backwards glance, not once did he look at chief Yagami.

L worried his bottom lip, Light's words echoing in his mind even as the other Powers tried to comfort the chief. Light hadn't called L 'Ryuzaki', instead he went on about L, almost as though he knew that 'Ryuzaki' was actually L. 'And the fact that he knew enough about shinigami Powers to make that comment about the drown victim shows he knows something. I wonder what Power he has, chief Yagami is a truth seeker, perhaps Light gained something like visions.' L shot that before the idea even had a chance to fully form, knowing that Light would never have left his home if that'd been the case. 'Though he was a vision in that outfit, those pants showed off his assets wonderfully.' L was aware that after the first meeting with the young villain he'd grown attracted to the younger man, speaking with him had simply increased the attractiveness. 'It's a shame he's not going to stick around here much.'

"So what should we do with the information Light has given us?" Mogi asked, breaking up the multiple attempts of his colleagues to talk to the chief.

"We now have a description, vague as it is, as well as a sex, we can work with that. Go back over crime scenes and see if we can find any witnesses that can remember if they saw him." L said, looking over at one of the display boards they'd set aside for the perpetrator. "Matsuda, write that up will you? Black hair, Caucasian, male, either 25-26 years old and wearing a black sweater and dark navy jeans." Matsuda had hopped to it, quickly writing down the information L was repeating. "He's also apparently my height," Matsuda had written down the estimated height and turned to face them.

"Is that all?" He asked, looking around, walking back to his seat when no comments were forthcoming.

"How do we know that what he's given us was even the truth?" Aizawa asked, anger in his tone. "He's a criminal, chances are he and the shinigami are in on it together and that's why we haven't caught them yet."

L rolled his eyes at the man's stupidity brought about by his bias. "Have you clearly forgotten that chief Yagami is a truth seeker and would have noticed the moment Light-kun was to lie?" Watari looked at him in askance at the defensive tone he'd taken, L ignored him looking straight at Aizawa as his face slowly turned red.

"I just don't think we can trust him," the man muttered lowly as he looked down at the table.

"I think that Light can be trusted, he was clearly scared of something whilst he was in here." Matsuda chimed in unexpectedly, catching everyone's attention.

"What do you mean he was scared?" Chief Yagami asked, attention focused in on Matsuda with intensity.

"It's just feels as though he is scared of something he's been struggling with for a long time now, I think it was because he was afraid you'd find out chief." Matsuda said, addressing the chief.

'What are you hiding then Light?' L had a few ideas but he didn't want to make any snap decisions. The rest of the day was spent chasing leads in an attempt to find the mystery man.
