L ch 5
I sat in L's room, wrapped in a blanket and drinking hot tea. He was right next to me, but I felt a million miles away. "So what happened back there?" I heard him say. I couldn't tell him, he would think I was crazy, but I had to tell him something. "Uhm.. I just wanted to see.. what the ground looked like from up there." I managed to say, even though I knew it was a lie. I gave him a small smile but he just shook his head and looked down. I couldn't do this anymore, I couldn't lie to him. I sighed, "Okay, let me start at the begining."
I told him everything and he was just sat there staring at me. "It's not like I planned it this way." I told him. Finally he spoke up, "I'm sorry Jade, we can't have you here anymore. The information you already know is too much and we can't let that get out. Especialy if who you claim to work for finds out." There was a silence in the air. I never thought this would happen, just when I got him back I was being pulled away again. "You can stay for the night but you must be gone in the morning, I'm sorry." He told me. It took a moment for all of this to set in. What was I to do now? I can't complete my misson without their help. L glanced over at me when I got up to leave. That would probably be the last time I see his face.
I was in my room. The white walls surrounded me. "She is not allowed to see visitors." I heard one of the guards outside my door say. Next thing I heard was a loud bang. "Well we aren't just any visitors." Another voice came, it sounded somehow familiar. I shot up in my bed and ran over to the door. What the hell was going on? There was a loud beeping, much like when they would let me out for meals and such. The door swung open and I was dragged out of the room by two boys. The last thing I remember was looking back at my white walled room.
I woke up in a dim lighted room, there was a couch, a few laptops, wires everywhere, and what looked like a coffee table. The two boys from before were sitting on the couch across from me. One was hunched over messing with what looked like a handheld game and the other was messing with one of the laptops. The scent of smoke filled my lungs and I started coughing profusely. "Oh look she's awake." Said the one with the handheld. The one with the laptop looked up. I knew them from somewhere, their faces were so familiar. "Uh hi, why am I here?" I said calmly. They exchanged glances then looked back to me. "It's been a while Jenevieve." Said the one with the handheld game.
Jenevieve. That was my real name, but how would he know that? I was about to speak but the one with the laptop cut me off, "That's not important right now. My name is Mello and you work for me now, that's the price for your freedom." I was really confused. Mello, that name was familiar. Wammy's House, he was there. He was brought in a couple years after L, that's where I know him from. "Yeah I know who you are," I said sitting up and crossing my legs, "And I expect an answered to my question, why am I here?"
The one with the handheld game sighed. "Basically you have special skills that will make our job easier." There was a long silence then Mello got up and walked over to the window. He stood there for a moment before opening the curtains. Light filled the once dim room. I looked from Mello and the window to the one with the handheld. Wait, I know that face, that hair. I reached up to touch my auburn hair, just one shade lighter than the person sitting across from me. "Mail?" I said and he looked up.
