It was nearly 4AM and I couldn't sleep. I was alone in my new apartment, but that's not what was bothing me. "I lied to him," I kept saying to myself, "I've never lied to him." Suddenly my cell phone rang, "Hello?" I answered, it was the same voice frrom before. "Are you alone?" The question from before was repeated. I sighed then replied, "Yes." There was a pause then the voice spoke again, "I have a message for you," there was another pause, "Addition to the mission: Find Kira and bring him back here." I was now confused, before I was just suppose to find out who he was. "And how am I suppose to manage that? This guy is a murderer, what happens if he trys something?" I said. There was another pause then the voice spoke, "You know your mission, remember your training and you will be fine." Then they hung up. I cursed and threw my phone across the room.
I was almost asleep until I heard a loud noise from across the room. "Ugh" I groaned as I got up to retreve my phone and turn off the alarm. It was now 5AM and time for me to get ready. I did the same as the day before and walked to the Task Force headquarters, grabbing a coffee on the way. When I got there I was told to leave my cell phone, notebook, and purse in the lobby. I got searched as well. When I finally got to go into the meeting room I noticed that there were only eight people there. Everyone stared at me, "Wh-what's going on?" I asked confused. I noticed that one of these people was L. "Uhm, L? What are you doing here?" I asked. Everyone continued to stare at me. Then at L, then back to me. "You know each other?" One of the men said. There was silence.
Turns out L is the main guy behind the Kira investigation and those papers he was reading yesterday had to do with this. "Come." He had told us as he walked out the door. I retreived my stuff then we were escorted to a series of cars with blacked out windows, "Jade will come with me, the rest of you will get into those cars and be driven to the place we are headed." I got into the same car as L, apparently driven by Mr. Wammy, and the others did as the were told. After a moment of driving I asked, "So where exactly are we going?" He didn't answer, just looked at me. I sighed and looked at the floor as I zoned out.
"You know, you've changed a bit since I've last seen you." I heard L say as I came back to reality. I just looked at him. "You seem more... confused then you use to be." He continued. I didn't know how to respond to this, surely he hadn't found out my secret. I was about to speak when my cell phone rang, "What?" I said annoyed. There was a pause, I sighed. "Have you found Kira yet?" The serious voice asked. I groaned with annoyance, "I just woke up like two or three hours ago, what the hell do you think?" I replied. I could feel L staring at me. The voice spoke again, "Now now, don't get an attitude, I just asked a simple question" It said calmly. My annoyance was now at an all time high, "No, what you asked was a stupid question that you already knew the answer to." I said then hung up.
"UGH." I said throwing my phone on the floor. I could still feel L staring at me, "What was all that about?" He finally asked. I was about to reply when my phone rang, again. I couldn't take it anymore, without thinking I picked up the phone and ripped the battery out. The ringing stopped. "That was my boss being stupid." I told him. He just nodded and looked at the floor. After a while the car stopped and the door was opened. We were in what looked like a giant garage. "Uh, where are we?" I asked just as the other people got out of the cars. "Everyone follow Watari." L said, ignoring my question.
We were given a tour of the place, which was huge, and told that we could stay here until the Kira case was solved. We were given our own rooms as well, which pretty much meant we had an entire floor to ourselves. L was on the top floor (of course), I was on the floor under that, and everyone else under mine. It was a nice place to be for the time being. I was sitting in my new room when Mr. Wammy's voice came on the intercom, "Miss Jade, you are needed in the control room." He said. I got up and walked to the elevator and down to the control room. Everyone had been talking but when I entered the room they stopped. I had a puzzled look on my face, but they didn't seem to notice.
There was an extra person in the room sitting on a couch with on of the officers. "Jade, that's Light." L said pointing to the new person, "He's gonna be working with us now." Light smiled at me and I semi-smiled back. The last one to arrive in the room was Matsuda, "Sorry I'm late, please forgive me!" He said desperately. Everyone kind of ignored him. "Now, lets get started." Said L.
Crush your hopes and dreams. Don't confess. Run. It's not worth it. You're better than this. No, you're a mess. You're mad. The room is spinning. Leave this institution. Run. Kick down the door. Run down the stairs. Don't let them take you. No wait, you need them. They helped you. They gave you a life. They gave you a mission.
"NO!" I screamed sitting up and putting my head in my hands. I felt the presence of people. I looked over to find the whole Task Force staring at me. "Uh hi." I said. Apperently I had fallen asleep on the couch in the control room and I was having another night terror. "You scared us, we didn't know what was going on." Light had told me, after I had explained that it happens sometimes. "We're done for the night, everyone may either go home or go to their assigned floor." L told everyone. They all left the room but I stayed for a moment. "You're mad." They had said, "That house is not where you needed to be."
After about an hour of just sitting in the dark I decided to walk around for a while. I walked all the way to my floor on the stairs, then got in the elevator and pressed the first floor. I sat in the elevator for about an hour just pressing the buttons between mine and the first floor. When I was on the first floor I pressed my floor again and waited for the door to close. I closed my eyes and layed across the floor of the elevator, and started singing a song I had heard several times while in The Ward. "Thank you for being such a friend to me, oh I pray a friend for life."
After a bit I heard the door open for my floor, so I sat up and pressed the first floor again, then layed back down. "Please don't go just yet, can you stay a moment please," I thought I heard the door open again but didn't pay too much attention, "We can dance together, we can dance forever." I felt the presence of someone, I jumped up just as I saw the doors closing and I saw L standing in the corner of the elevator smiling at me. "Uh hi." I said blushing.
