Chapter 3, 50 Days

L sighed as Watari came in, "L, would you like anything?" When the detective shook his head he turned to the two who had just entered, "Aizawa-san, Matsuda-san, would you like anything?" They shook their head politely and headed behind L to stand and watch. "Fifty days already huh?" he heard Matsuda mumble before he left.

Not caring about the two who were behind him L looked closer at one part of the screen as he spoke into the mic on the table, "Yagami-san, you okay there? You know, there's no need for you to continue doing this."

The man on the screen was sitting bent over in the chair. For the time he'd been in the cell, Light's father was in worse condition then the actual suspects. "It's been more than a month since criminals began to be killed by Kira again. I'm convinced my son is not Kira. Now all that remains, Ryuuzaki, is for you to realize this too. When I leave here, it will be with my son."

Matsuda who had been oddly quiet the whole time now looked over at Aizawa, "The chief is so stubborn..."

"Light-kun, are you okay?" L asked in an almost complete even voice to the burnet and stared at his screen to listen to his response. Secretly he always worried he may being a bit harsh about this but then his thoughts would return to Kira and he forgot about it.

Matsuda shut up as Light began speaking in a somewhat distant voice and L leaned a bit closer hanging on to every word. "I'm okay… but Ryuuzaki… …ever since my imprisonment, criminals have stopped dying… …there's a good chance that Kira or someone knows about my current predicament, and it might be worth investigating alo-"

"No." L interrupted. "The reason they've stopped dying is because you are Kira."

"That's not true! I am not Kira! How many times do I have to tell you this?!" Light shouted.

If you're Kira you'd know that criminals are being killed, yet I can't see this in you. L thought deeply as he stared at Light, he had thought that by now that Light would drop the act, he had had no such luck. In the distance he could hear Aizawa whispering, "Ryuuzaki's pretty harsh, I can't believe he's not told Light-kun that criminals are still being murdered."

Clicking the button for Misa he began speaking ignoring the two's whispers, "Amane." When he heard her "Yes?" he continued, "You don't look so good, you okay?"

"What? Are you stupid or something? If Misa was fine after so many weeks of this, she'd be some kind of weirdo…" her voice held no humor.

"I guess you're right."

"Hurry up and release me. I want to see Light… ...Light… Light… Light…. Light…" L tuned her out as she began to whimper Light's name over and over. Hearing her say it over and over with so much emotion seemed to rub him a little bit the wrong way, why did she love him anyways?

"It seems like all three of them are reaching their limits." Matsuda whispered.

"Ryuuzaki, why do you continue to detain Light-kun?! You should release him. That way the chief will be free as well." Aizawa exclaimed suddenly, L wondered if he actually cared about Light or if he just worried about Yagami-san. "Despite neither Amane nor Light-kun receiving information about them, criminals continue to be killed. Doesn't this tell you enough?!" His voice was stern and almost desperate.

L didn't look at him as he replied, "No." He continued to further explain, "The only thing I've been able to establish is Amane's extraordinary love for Yagami Light." As he said this, he again felt that feeling he felt before when she was pleading Light's name. He felt irritated but kept it hidden, he needed to stop letting himself become unprofessional.

When Aizawa spoke his tone was even but his mood was defiantly cross, "Ryuuzaki… sorry, but personally, I think you're only doing this because you don't want to accept that your "Light-kun is Kira" theory is wrong."

At this L felt hesitant. Is that really why he insisted on taking such measures even though the killings started again? He didn't allow himself to ponder this. "Oh, so you do think that after all…" he heard himself say. He knew he shouldn't be taunting the other but his lips spoke before he stopped himself.

"It's as Light-kun's said, Kira killed Lind L. Tailor and those FBI agents. If they were able to kill without the need to acquire information, there would have been no need to kill Tailor or the FBI. No matter how much they were investigated, they'd never have been caught! "Kira does not kill more than necessary to." You said so yourself!" there was definite anger in Aizawa's voice. L couldn't blame him though, all he said was true. Everyone's patience was being run down, all waiting for the answers to suddenly be revealed.

Matsuda began speaking now, "Oh, I see. If they could kill people under those conditions, they could have left the FBI agents alone because they posed no threat."

L took this moment to dip one of his slender pale fingers into his ice cream. As he licked the sugary sweet from his digit he heard Aizawa speak again, "Fifty days have already passed. There's no point in carrying this on anymore. Instead, we should be focused on capturing the real Kira." His voice wasn't angry but more suggestive.

There was no reply right away from L. He stared intensely at the monitor with Light's form lying still on the ground. Should L really give up on Light being Kira? His finger went for another dip of ice cream but when he looked down he realized it was all gone. "I understand…" he finally said quietly.

He clicked on the switch to allow him to speak to the chief.

"Yagami-san?"

The older man looked up slightly from his chair he was present in, "What is it?"

"Could I get you to return to Headquarters? I'd like everyone to hear my verdict on this matter." There was a pause before he continued, "I'd like you, Yagami-san, as Light-kun's father, to be the first."

In a tired voice the chief replied back, "Fine…"

It was some time before he finally was in a closed room with the chief to speak privately. As he explained his devised plan to the other he watched the shock set in as his expression became more and more horrified.

This will prove it, once and for all, L thought to himself. He lifted his sugary tea to drink as he let the whole thing sink in for Yagami-san. He knew the other wouldn't refuse, but to ask such a request… he would need time.
