"Yes, Light was..." Soichiro sighed, "Kira..."
"That must have been hard on you. Especially since...my report says, Kira died?"
"Light...did die. You knew L. Those are his reports." Soichiro pointed out. "What is this about?"
"What happened to the notebooks?" Near said, again ignoring the question.
Soichiro looked at Near clenching his fist trying not to become impatient. "The Notes were lost to us. A...Shinigami took them back...if you believe in such things."
"Yes...L's report mentioned as much...Anyway, to get to the point, there were a number of killings last night. And they all matched Kira's mo." He said it without any emotion, then glanced up to see Soichiro's reaction. "Would you know anything about that?"
"Near before I answer you must tell me, how many deaths were there? And where?"
"Well, let's see...there were five of the japanese police officers, all died of heart attacks within seconds of eachother just south of the Sakura TV station, and three of the convicts released on tv last night also fell victim to heart attacks...only moments after their names were released."
"What!" Soichiro looked up at Near once more starting to tremble. "Yes...the officers were pursuing my daughter, Sayu, at the time."
"Yes, I am aware of that, though why they were pursuing her is a topic of great interest to me..." He looked at Soichiro expectantly.
Soichiro looked down sadly for a moment. He reached into his pocket lying the note out on the table. "My daughter...was never told the truth about Light. Now, I'm paying the price for that error. She was being chased by the 5 police men that day because I saw her holding the Death Note. However, she came back that night...she looked awful as if guilt was sinking through her, but she had dinner...I searched the car...and found nothing. The Death Note was gone, but so was she this morning..."
"Do you have an idea as to where she may have gone?"
"No, I do not. She's always been so close to home until now. Did you say, Sakura TV Station? That's where Misa Amane works...and by the way you have approached me I am guessing she is missing as well..."
"That is correct. And Misa was also involved with these Deathnotes...Chances are the two of them are together...And Misa's car was at the airport..." Near pulled out a set of dice from his pocket and began playing with them. "So I pulled the security tapes..." he paused with his dice and produced a picture of Sayu that looked like a freeze frame from a security video. "This is your daughter, correct?"
