Chapter 5
Escape…
Where we left L
"Stupid…intruders…I have foiled you!" L pants as he crawls further down the road. –he isn't much of a runner, and his sugar rush wore off soon enough…-
"Must...escape…from squirrels…" L continues crawling, as countless onlookers stare at the psychotic creature crawling down the road. One onlooker pulls out a cell phone and calls the nearest padded-wall asylum…
Where we left, well, everyone else
"Hm…Watari, you are in charge of getting Matsuda off the roof. You seem to be good at getting him to become, well, unstuck. Mogi, you and I will go after L, and rescue him from the squirrels. Dad, Aizawa, you two will be in charge of continuing our investigation until we all return. I have no clue how long all of this could possibly take…" -for those of you who haven't noticed, Matsuda is stuck on the roof…details can be found in chapter 4…-
Now onto the story!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Um…Hello?...Anyone?...Please?...I'M NOT CRAZY!" L was, as I'm sure you could guess, locked in a small, nicely padded room. –where I am sure I, my editor, and probably most of my readers, will eventually end up…- Our investigator was pulled from the streets by a group of well trained, very well paid professionals. L was chanting something incoherent about scary little baby squirrels, while the professionals, as well as the crowd, was positive he was hallucinating. –however, you and I both know that L indeed wasn't delusional, unless I am delusional…which hasn't been proved…since this whole story was indeed my delusions, we will just say that L is, for the most part, sane…- L, on the other hand, was currently going crazy due to the straight jacket, and because the room looked as though it had been designed by MisaMisa. The walls were hot pink, and he was surrounded by large-eyed, possessed-looking stuffed animals. L was positive that they were going to eat him. –he was ranting about the man-eating stuffed animals and the slowly tightening walls, which made the professionals believe even more that he was crazy…of course they haven't met MisaMisa, who would indeed drive a person into pure insanity…-
"Please let me go! I need to catch Kira!"
"Gosh, now that guy thinks he is going to catch Kira…how insane could a person be? And, anyhow, his sugar content in his blood is past the legal limit." One of the workers says as he passes the room with another worker, a calm-looking woman.
"Since when has there been a legal limit of sugar content in the blood?"
"There isn't…but since it seems nearly impossible for a person to consume enough sweets so that their blood is 89 percent sugar, I'm going to assume that we could say that he is a danger to the public."
"89 percent?! How in the world…"
"He must eat only sugary substances…"
"Maybe we could call a dietitian?"
"NO, NOT A DIET!" L, who was listening to the whole conversation, screams.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Light and Mogi: L's rescue!
"…he's about yeh tall, with dark circles under the eyes, unruly black greasy hair, no shoes, a constant sugar rush…" Light and Mogi have arrived!
"Oh, yes…he's here…" Another worker leads Light and Mogi to L's room. As soon as L sees them, he starts letting out a constant stream of words. "The squirrels! Fuzzy, huge, big tail, beady eyes…they want my sugar! Giant squirrels, man-eating, killer, the squirrels!...they're gonna get me!..."
"Wow, L, be quiet! We know about the damn squirrels…" Light looks very unhappy to be freeing L, but nowhere near as unhappy as the workers. None of them think that the lunatic could possibly be safe enough to have on the public streets. Light has trouble convincing them to release the poor investigator. He tries to convince him that he was an escaped patient from his asylum. After about the tenth try with the same story –he kept telling it, just in different ways…-, the professionals finally agree to let L go, on the conditions that Light must take him to a dietitian and then lock him up, complete with padded room and straight jacket.
"FREEDOM!" L runs out of the asylum, and starts kissing the ground.
"L, stop NOW. We need to get back to the room." Light says to L without even looking down at him. Mogi, silent as always, just stands there looking Mogi-ish.
"Oh, right! Matsuda has to tell us his secret!" Light, who was thinking more along the lines of the investigation, attempts to argue with him, but he truly hopes that L can find a convincing reason as to why Matsuda's secret must be revealed. –Light wants to know who Matsuda likes…I want to know too…-
Finally, Light agrees with L. –It is clear that Light is trying to hide that he is super anxious to return…-
"Off to the room!" L yells all super-hero-ish. Light rolls his eyes, and Mogi follows the two silently.
On the roof
"Aliens…they want to…suck out my brains with bendy straws!" –Hmm…guess who?-
"Matsuda-san, Light has requested that I remove you from the roof." Watari says very calmly. –he looks like he is trying to cover up the hysterical laughter that wants to break loose, but he is good at it…I would assume that after spending years of looking after L, he has seen some VERY funny stuff…-
"But…the aliens…"
"Aliens do not exist. They are just a figment of your imagination. However, the secret that you are about to reveal isn't. I would suggest that you should focus on how you are going to explain whom you like to the rest of the investigators." What Watari said definitely affects Matsuda. He shuts up immediately, and starts thinking about what he will say.
Watari and Matsuda get into the elevator and begin to descend to the correct level. Matsuda is muttering to himself and looks particularly stressed. Eventually –after a whopping 3 minutes in the elevator…ooh, so, how to say it…long…- they make it to the floor and precede to take the long walk…about 5 yards…towards the room. Matsuda is sweating buckets by now and his face has returned to that prune-tomato color. They get to the room and reach up to knock on the door when L yanks it open mid knock. –gosh, is he psychic or what?-
"Good, now that we are all here, you can tell us your secret!" L nearly wets himself with excitement. Everyone scoots closer to Matsuda. –yes, I really would want to see Soichiro and Mogi scoot…is it possible?-
"Who does Matsuda like?" Everyone practically yells simultaneously…
"Ok…I guess I can't find a way out of it." Matsuda turns to see if he could run out the door, but Mogi had moved behind him. –yay! Mogi's bouncer-ish body build has finally been put to use!-
"I like…---"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mwahahaha…
Pineapple-Sister: -hits me over the head with a large pointy stick- BAM!
Me…: um…what was that for?...and why in the world did YOU say bam?
Pineapple-Sister: -shrugs and hits me over the head with the stick again- BEEP!
Me…: beep…
Pineapple-Sister: hey did you hear that echo?
Me…: -growls at Pineapple-Sister...- run…now…
I PROMISE that I will tell you who Matsuda likes next time!...
Ok, so I'm not sure if I will continue after next chapter…I have plenty of ideas, but I NEED YOUR OPINION!...leave a review PLEASE!
Next Time: Who does Matsuda like? Will L ever recover from his squirrel attack? Will Matsuda ever lose his fear of aliens?
