Heretic finished putting his telescope up into a suitcase, along with the controller that looks as if it had been for a remote controlled car then left his room followed closely behind by Dara.

The shinigami followed Heretic silently as they walked through the hall and finally Heretic asked as they stepped into an elevator, "What happens if you run out of pages in the death note?"

Dara rolled her eyes and said after letting out a sigh, "The pages are infinite, there is no possible way to use all the pages. Besides, at the rate your going you wouldn't have a single page filled in a lifetime." Her eyes narrowed as she spoke while she began tapping her left metallic claws against the side of her leg asking, "So, are you actually planning on using the death note for a second time? Are you planning on using it on a massive scale?"

He grinned over toward her while pressing the first floor button, "No, I may only have 4 names written in the note when I'm finished, but it is something for me to consider for the future. I am always thinking ahead, even at moments like this when it looks like I have won. Always, and I mean always have a backup plan."

She shook her head slowly then muttered, "You have a death note, and seemed to want the power Kira had, and now that you have it you choose not to use it. You are strange, extremely so Onishi. Why desire something and yet when you have it not put it to use?"

Heretic answered a moment before the elevator door opened on the first floor, "I had used it, it had gotten his attention putting everything together so I could get this far did it not?"

He drove to the mall without incident and gave a bright smile while stepping into an flower shop toward a eighteen year old female with long red hair, and green eyes who stood behind the register and said, "Good afternoon Gloria, your mother is doing well isn't she?"

The female's eyes brightened on seeing Heretic enter the store as she answered, "She's doing well, they say that if she can pull through for two more days there shouldn't be much to worry about." ,giving a bright laugh Gloria asked, "What about you? Have you published any new stories I should look out for in the next couple months?"

He gave a teasing grin saying, "Maybe a few, but it doesn't mean I don't have time to stop by to see my number one fan." At that moment Dara gave fake gagging noises at his words, and received no reaction from Heretic at the noise.

Dara crossed her arms commenting, "I thought you said you were just going to pick up flowers, not flirt with the cashier all day. You're going to make me sick if you keep this up too much longer."

Gloria giggled asking, "So, do you want to pick up something, or are you here to plan our next date?"

Heretic frowned then said, "Actually, I need to pick up some flowers for a friend in the hospital. You know about that warehouse collapse right?', he gave a moment for Gloria to nod, "Well, I had a call not too long ago saying he was among those injured. The police refused to give any details on who was with him in the warehouse, and it all seems so hush-hush as though there was something about it all they want to cover up."

She smiled and said going around taking his hands, "Let's choose some flowers, and it will be on the house. Besides, it's the least I can do for all you have done for me in the past.

I'll close up to go with you after we pick out the flowers so we can visit him okay? What's his name?"

He nodded back and whispered in a sincere sounding voice, "Thank you Gloria, but I can pay for it myself. His name is Light, do you know him?"

Gloria thought for a brief moment saying, "I don't know for sure…. But I think I remember someone I went to jr. high with named Light….. Once I see him I'll know for sure."

Heretic nodded and followed as Gloria went around the counter to look over the different flowers. Dara asked while looking over Gloria, "Are you planning on using her to find out Light's last name? How did you know she may have known this Light?"

Heretic smiled looking Gloria's way and said, "I remember you mentioning a Light in the past saying he was intelligent, strait A's, and you mentioned most of the females had crushes on him, but he was always putting his studies above everything else. Thinking about it, what you told me sounds like him, that's another reason I wanted you to come with me. I just thought it would help him feel better to see an old friend."

Gloria beamed and gave a nod saying, "That was thoughtful of you." She laughed while continuing to speak, "But, I don't know how you remember that conversation, it must have been three years ago the last time we talked about him. I didn't even remember my exact words."

He grinned and tapped his right temple saying, "It's like a steel trap; nothing escapes." After picking out a bouquet of flowers, Heretic paid for it, and helped Gloria close for the day then both Gloria and Heretic drove in separate cars to the county hospital.

The hospital was painted pure white reeking of disinfectant, with that old folks home smell with many people, both young and old, sitting in the waiting room. The receptionist looked up toward Gloria and Heretic as they approached and asked, "Visiting or do you need to see a doctor?"

Heretic smiled and said to the frizzy brown haired receptionist around twenty-six years old with grey eyes, "I have gotten news that a friend of mine was hurt in the warehouse collapse, and was wondering if they had already been checked into a room, or if they are still on the way."

She looked over Heretic examining him, seemingly for any sign of malice, and said smiling as if he passed her inspection, "Give me his name, and I'll be able to see. We already have received quite a few already."

Gloria's eyes suddenly sparked with remembrance and said turning toward Heretic, "Light Yagami! I had just remembered that boy's name I went to Jr. High with. Is that the one?"

Heretic smiled toward Gloria and looked over to the receptionist saying, "Yes that's the one, can you check for an Light Yagami?"

The woman nodded and turned to the computer at her desk starting to type then said after a few moments, "That's odd…. the system is showing up a Light… but they don't have a last name listed, but he was checked in around twenty minutes ago. He is in room 231, upstairs, second door to your right. It says he is in stable condition."

Light smiled toward Gloria and took her hand beginning to walk down the hospital hallway while Dara followed behind saying, "Heretic…… you had this all planned since you watched L's broadcast to you didn't you?"

He gave no response toward Dara while heading up the stairs and stopping in front of room 231, to face one of his two deadly advisories.
