From now on, I will aim to update all of my stories every Saturday. I can't make any promises, but they will be updated at least every weekend, weekly.
The detectives return to The Agency as DY goes on a solo mission.
I hope you enjoy.
17 - The Return
Raen walked with his cell phone held to his ear. All he heard was ringing on the other end. Endless ringing. "Pick up, you idiot."
"DY here."
"Meet us on the roof of The Agency in twenty minutes."
"Who is this?"
Raen's eye twitched. "You son of a bitch! You know damn well who it is!"
"Did you get a sore throat since we last talked, Melissa?"
"Ah! Just get back here!" He hung up.

DY looked at the phone with apprehension. "Well!" He put the phone in his pocket. "He always wants me to say good-bye..." He took out a gun. "I'll be right there..." He jumped out of his still moving car. "Just got to take care of someone first..."
He smiled as he looked at the airplane that was boarding.

Airam was standing outside a door. Her hand was on the handle. She bit the nails of her other hand. "Eh... I don't want to go in..."
"So, don't. I'll finish up."
Airam turned to glare at Raen. He walked up to her and reached for the door.
She slapped it away. "This is my assignment! Stay out of it!" She hesitated. She inhaled and frowned as she opened the door. She entered the room of four people.
Raen followed her. "Heh... Long time no see, guys."
Airam had her hand extended in front of her. She appeared to be pointing at something. She frowned as her hand fell to her side. "Wait... One of you is missing... Where's-"
Raen put a hand over her mouth. "No. The others all have assignments. Well, Reksew may be acting on his own but everybody who's supposed to be here, is here."
Airam pulled his hand off her mouth. "Ugh! Don't ever put your hand anywhere near my mouth ever again!"
A man's voice could be heard. "What's up, guys?"
Raen and Airam looked at the people in the room. They were a little embarrassed at themselves.
Raen spoke first. "We-"
Airam interrupted him. "We have an assignment! Meet us at the roof of The Agency in fifteen minutes."
With that said, Raen and Airam promptly left.
Raen glared at her as they walked down the hall. "Why are you such a bitch?"
Airam smirked and shook her head. "I'll ignore that... For your sake. Come on."
They turned the corner and went down the stairs.

Light walked out of Mikami's closet.
Mikami sat down on his bed. He threw the canister that held the poison out the open window. "Careful... The gas is still in the air."
Light sat down next to Mikami. "Is it done?"
"Yes. Near should be in place." A noise that resembled a door opening several stories below. "Come on. The others are back."
They stood up and left Mikami's room.

The Agency was a mess. The detectives stepped over rubble and bodies on their way to the upper floors.
Matt was the only one to make it to his room with no trouble. He played his video game and expertly maneuvered around all the rubble and debris like it had always been there. He didn't look up once, until he reached his room. There, the batteries ran out and the game shut itself down on the last level. He nearly cried.
The others took longer to climb over overturned desks, broken chairs, dead bodies, etc. Within ten minutes, they reached their rooms.
Mikami and Light met with L in his office.
He turned his chair around. "Well?"
Mikami smiled.
Light held up a small TV. The image on the screen was nearly completely blank, but some light could be seen and some noise could be heard.
"Near is in place."

Tielwal looked around at the people gathered on the roof.
Everybody except for one was there. He shrugged. That person was unimportant.
He cleared his throat. "Now that we're all here... Let's begin."

The plane steered towards the small lake in the middle of the forest.
When the plane collided with the lake, the water decided the forest would be a better place to spend the rest of its days. It promptly lurched from its hole and rained down. When the forest voiced no objections, the water flooded the forest.
Suddenly, the laws of physics stepped in and decided the current arrangement was unacceptable. It forced the water back to its hole. Reluctantly, the water filled in the lake again. While the water wasn't particularly happy and the forest was indifferent, the fish that were slowly asphyxiating were very pleased. For a moment all was quiet.
The passenger door suddenly flew open. DY staggered out of the plane and fell into the lake, squishing a fish that was pleasantly swimming. He swam under the wing and waited for the plane to be emptied of people.
The passengers that survived made their way out of the plane and into the lake, also squishing and killing fish. From there, they went to the forest.
BB stumbled out of the plane. He held his bleeding head and walked along the wing to the shore.
DY shook his head. "Let the chase begin... I won't let you down again... L."
He swam to shore.
I don't own Death Note and the Review Button won't hurt you.
NEXT TIME: DY's past is revealed! He reminisces about his time in Wammy's House as he closes in on BB.
