"Chapter 5: Memoirs"
--
Author's Note: Chapter 5. A bit short, but you'll finally get to see a small picture of what L is up to!

L stepped in the building, ignoring the alarms and knocking out the guard who rushed to tackle him down.

Stephen Loud looked at the screen of the man simply walking through all the security systems. Suddenly, with a jolt, he gave a signal not to fire on him as soon as the man reached room.
"Hello Mr. River, It's been a long time," said the mysterious figure. Near cringed at the use of his last name.
"Eraldo Coil!" yelled Loud.
"Heh… that's what some call me. However, you may know me as the First L," responded the supposed L.
Near stared at L… L stared at Near…
"You have to be L… otherwise you would not have a permit tucked under your hoodie signed by the Japanese Police Force authorizing you to use any resources needed to catch Kira."
"That's pretty impressive for only seeing the corner of my permit, isn't it?" asked L. At that, Near drew a pistol from his desk. He fired. L quickly rolled under the bullet's path and towards Near. After reaching him, he kicked the pistol out of his hands and grabbed it himself.
"That's L. Only L would have that permit and have the martial arts experience to pull off that move. So, L, why are you here?" Near concluded.
"I need the memoirs."
"Done. However… do you have any information in return for them?" questioned Near.
"Kira is back from the dead." L caught a package that Near threw at him and turned to leave. Suddenly, Loud attempted to stop him.
"Why are you just letting him with Mikami's unread memoirs without him stating his intentions?" asked Loud. L simply kicked him over and walked over his body.
"Because he's L," Near said simply.
