LawlietLight7 :Yeah, he is a douche. Uh-oh...
Failing Wings :His Dad hates him because he wanted a daughter, but gets stuck with a son as a firstborn.
TwilightHaseo :Yeah, grammar kind of isn't my strong suit. Sorry. :) Thanks.
dragonfire04 :Don't worry. I plan on it. I really like writing this story.
"Hey! Sorry, did I keep you waiting?" I asked.
"Oh, it's okay, Light! I just got here myself!"
I smiled. Sirri and I were going for a visit to the museum today. As friends, of course.
The bus pulled up and she grabbed my arm.
"Come on, Sirri." She smiled.
We chose a seat towards the back. Right before the doors shut, a man walked on and took a seat behind us.
"I'm so excited, and the best part is, I have you all to myself!" She giggled.
I rolled my eyes and smiled at her. She squealed.
We pulled into the next stop. A chubby man with a half mohawk climbed aboard the bus. Sirri laughed…until the man pulled a loaded gun to the driver's head. "Stay in your seats unless you wanna die." He shouted.
We all screamed.
"Everybody shut up. Anybody moves and I'll put this bullet through this man's head." He turned to the driver.
"Alright, you listen to me. I know you've got the number of the museum. Call 'em!"
The man picked up a phone. "This is Wasaki, calling from bus 174. My bus has been high-jacked. He's holding a gun to my head!"
"Now gimme the phone!" He snatched it back. "You heard him! Now you listen up! Have a female staff member bring out all of the museum's cash from yesterday. I know it's there! Tell her to meet us two bus stops from there, and don't make me wait! If you mess with me, or try to get the police involved, I swear I'll kill every one of these passengers!" He snapped the phone shut.
Sirri was trembling next to me. I was slack jawed, eyes open wide.
I jotted a quick note to Sirri-'Don't be scared. As soon as his back is turned, I'll grab the gun out of his hand!'
The man behind me read it over my shoulder.
"Don't be stupid. That's risky. If it comes to that, I'll take care of it." He muttered to us.
"Do you have any proof that you're not his accomplice? Why should we trust you?"
Sirri looked shaken. "Accomplice?"
"Yes, I've read about this before. The first hi-jacker comes in like he's working alone. Meanwhile, the second one pretends to be a hostage and stay in the very back just in case something goes wrong."
"You...you really think he is one?" Sirri was shaking violently.
The man leaned forward.
"Here. Here's my proof." He said as he passed something over the seat.
"FBI? Okay, for the time being, I trust you."
Meanwhile, the hi-jacker was busy torturing a poor elderly woman.
Something fell out of my pocket. I leaned down to pick it up, but before my fingertips grazed the edge, it disappeared.
"What the hell is this? You guys were planning something, weren't you?"
He opened it.
"A blank piece of paper? Stupid teenager."
He glanced up behind us and his eyes popped open wider than before.
"What the hell are you? You in the very back! What do you think your doing? How long have you been hiding back there?"
We all glanced back, but there was nothing there.
He raised his gun.
"You keep away from me!"
He opened fire on thin air.
He turned and clutched at the driver.
"Stop the bus! Let me off!"
The bus crashed to a halt, and the door opened. The hi-jacker fell out into traffic to be devoured by a speeding car.
Sirri started to cry.
At the HQ
Everyone was quitting…it was glorious. Eventually, there were so few of us that L even came out of his hiding hole. The boy looked so pathetic, it was hard to believe that he was a genius. But that doesn't matter. Nothing does. I will have his name, and it will be soon.

"Raye, how'd your day go?" My fiancée asked.
"The bus I was on got high-jacked. I had to show one of the suspects my name. But other than that, it was a great day."
"What?" Naomi screeched.
"It's no big deal. I'm positive he isn't Kira."
"What was his name?"
"Light Yagami. But honey, it's fi-"
Naomi turned back to where her husband was.
"Raye? RAYE? RAYE?"
L
"Please, you've gotta let me speak to L!"
I glanced down at the monitor that displayed the front lobby of the hotel. There was a woman...a very familiar women.
I called the lobby.
"Let her up to room 167 on floor 3, please."
Naomi rushed past them to the elevator.
As soon as she was inside the room, she hugged me. The other men looked up in at the screen, hearing something strange.
"Oh L! I've missed you."
"We worked together on another case." I explained to the men.
"What do you need, Naomi?"
She looked up at me. "I know who Kira is."
The conversation on the other end of the room turned silent.
"What is your evidence?"
"My fiancée, Raye Pennber, was investigating a suspect when the bus they were on got hi-jacked. He was forced to show his identification to that suspect. Later that day, he...he died."
"I'm sorry for your loss. Which suspect?"
She stared intently at her shoes.
"Light Yagami."
The Soichiro jumped up. "Impossible! That woman is utterly mad!"
"Restrain yourself, Chief." I made my tone sharp, though I'm not sure how it actually came out to them.
Everyone was either gaping at Yagami or myself.
"Soichiro, leave us. Go home. Reflect on today. The rest of you, stay."
The chief snatched his coat and his cell phone up, and then slammed the door shut.
Naomi looked up at me questioningly.
"Chief Soichiro Yagami." She stiffened.
"Yes, Light Yagami's father. Thank you for the help, Naomi. But please, go home and rest. You need it. My condolences on Raye."
After escorting her out, I turned to the other men. "You heard what she said. Now, I need your help to check this theory."
Faces stared at me, waiting for me to elaborate.
Watching Cameras Time!
"Sayu?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't get caught by Dad this time, please. Last time really hurt." Light said. Hmmm?
"Of course. I wasn't planning on it."
I stared more intently at the screen. I'd had Matsuda get everyone out of the house earlier while the others placed cameras everywhere. We were now all watching to see what would happen, me from my room, and them from Headquarters.
"Honey, you're home early!" Mrs. Yagami exclaimed loudly from the kitchen.
"Get out." Light hissed.
The girl, Sayu, ran as fast as she could to her room. She re-set up her homework station on her desk. A moment later, Chief opened Light's door.
"Good. Sayu's not in here this time. Where are your grades, Light? You should have gotten them today, correct?"
Light's eyes widened.
"We, I mean, I, Ummm..." He stumbled over his words.
Soichiro smiled at Light. Not a happy smile, not an 'I love you smile', a threatening smile. Where had I seen that before...
"Of course, Light. When I'm done helping Sayu with her homework, I'll help you search for those grades, alright?"
Light visibly paled.
"I thought so."
With that, he left.
Light banged his head on the desk.
"I'm trying. I'm trying, but what can I do? He has Mom and Sayu. Ryuzaki, what am I supposed to do?"
I stiffened, and my eyes widened.
Have fun until the next update. I have softball tomorrow, so I won't even begin until noon, if I'm lucky. But I'll get it up before midnight, trust me. ;)
