I finished hooking up my 360 in Light's room and sighed, placing the games alongside the TV. The thought of the baby room still sent shivers down my spine. I figured it was time for a visit.

"Ryuzaki, I'm heading down to the prison to talk to dad. Did you want to go?"

"Me? No, I have to get back to my hotel and work on the Kira case. Maybe next time."

My eyes saddened slightly. It wasn't like Ryuzaki to put off plans with me, but he was L, and he did need to work on this case.

"Do you want to go, Light?"

"Sure," He replied, "Stay here Misa."

"Ohhh, but Light! I'm your girlfriend and I should--"

Light silenced her with a menacing glance, and her mouth immediately closed.

"This is a personal matter between Tsukiko and her father, which does not include you."

She grumbled, but agreed to stay. Light grabbed the keys and told his mother that we were heading out.

"Oh, wait!" She called.

Light and I stopped as she handed me two letters.

"Soichiro had your mail transferred here. There were only two letters today."

I thanked her and we left as I began to open them. One was from the doctor, the other from my lawyer. The first letter I opened was from Dr. Halsey which included the blood test I had a few weeks ago. It seemed I had infectious mononucleosis. Mono, for short.

"There's no surprise." I said as we pulled out of the driveway, waving goodbye to Ryuzaki.

"What?" Light asked.

"I have mono."

"Eh, it's a good thing I decided not to go along with my plan to seduce you."

I gave him a dirty look and he chuckled slightly.

"Only kidding Tsukiko, calm down."

I sighed as I opened the letter from my lawyer. It was a very properly typed letter with gold foiling, but when I read it, my jaw just about dropped.

"I don't believe this." I said.

"What?"

"This letter from my lawyer says my mother left behind a huge sum of money for me."

"Does it say how much?"

"No, I have to drop by his office tomorrow to find out how much." I replied as we pulled into the prison.

After several minutes of being checked for weapons and such, we were finally able to see my father. Light and I sat at a table in a bleak, grey room and waited for the guards to bring my father in. He finally entered, his head low and his feet and hands were chained. When he looked at me, his once ocean-blue eyes were now a dull grey.

"Dad what happened to you?" I asked, reaching across to touch his hand.

"No contact ma'am." A guard said brusquely.

I sighed and retrieved my hand. I fiddled with my feet, wondering how I should ask him. He asked me a question before I said anything.

"Did you get the letter from our lawyer?"

"Yes, mom left behind some money for me."

He chuckled slightly.

"It's not some money Tsukiko. She left behind eight million dollars for you."

"For me," I asked with my eyes wide, "Why on earth would she leave me that much money?"

"You're a young woman now. You should put it aside."

"Of course, after I buy a car." I chuckled.

He smiled tiredly and our eyes were locked for a few seconds.

"Dad, the real reason I'm here is to ask you a question."

"Yes darling?"

"I was getting my things out of the house and I noticed there was a baby's room. It wasn't mine because it was made specifically for a boy. Is there something I should know?"

My father rubbed his face with his hands, and the sound of chains hitting the table made me jump.

"We figured you shouldn't know until you were old enough to comprehend." He said with a heavy sigh.

I leaned forward.

"Dad, I'm seventeen. I'm old enough to comprehend almost anything."

"You had a brother once. He was a nice kid until he reached middle school."

"What happened?"

"He became involved with a gang due to pressure to become more popular. There was a terrible gang shooting and--"

"Time's up." The guard said, shifting slightly.

I glanced at the clock. It had only been fifteen minutes.

The guards lifted my father out of his chair and I attempted to chase him, but Light held me back.

"Don't Tsukiko. You'll get arrested."

"But I need to find out what happened to my brother!"

Light pried me out of the room and away from the prison where we got into the car reluctantly.

"But Raito-chan!" I screeched.

"No Tsukiko. Just let it go, okay?"

I was not going to let this go!
