Chapter.3

Near

"Hello, Near. You may call me K." She smiled and waited. There was a scuffling noise slightly heard.

"Hello K, it has been a while." She should have known right off the bat Near would know who she was. "It's been about four years correct?"

She decided to play along. "Four and a half. Tell me Near, how have you been these long years? I see you still haven't caught Kira."

****Meanwhile with the SPK****

"I see you still haven't caught Kira." Near knew this voice. It was slightly older sounding but he knew it all too well. On the screen was a gothic K, the same way he and the original L had.

"I am as well as I can be. Why have you decided so suddenly to speak to me, K?" He tapped his lip with his finger as he remembered how she used to. There wasn't an answer. "Have you no reason?" Again no answer. "Are you still there, K?" He heard a small laugh.

"Near tell me something, if I hadn't decided suddenly to speak with you, would you have done the same?" The boy had no answer to this. It was true Kyra was in his mind every day but not every minute. He hadn't thought about speaking to her in almost three years and the thought rammed him. "I didn't think so. Near I want to ask you something."

"Go on." He put his thumb to his mouth as he sat in the office chair. The rest of the SPK were crowding around to hear what was happening.

"Near how far are you in the Kira case? Are you close to solving you it is? That is not what I want to ask you but for curiosity sake please answer."

Near didn't hesitate to answer. "We are close. There is another L." This Kyra knew and didn't find it interesting. "I assume you know this already. The other L is of course a fake, someone the Japanese police created to stop confusion. His name is Light Yagami." This however interested Kyra.

"And this Light is the one you believe to be Kira?" She knew the answer. She and Near knew each other like the back of their hands. "Near what I would like to ask you is this; instead of us continuing to ignore the others presence, why not work together?" There was a slight silence as he deliberated.

He sighed. "On one condition."

"What would that be?" She hadn't expected any conditions.

"You join the SPK and not just under me. You come to the building in D.C. and work with the team. You know the dangers of working with us, I assume." Near could hear Kyra's chuckle.

"That is all known. The building is in D.C. you say? Well, I'll be there sooner than you think." She then ended the conversation. What was Kyra doing, he wondered as the SPK members asked him who K was.

I know its short but review?
