"I find the defendant, Light Yagami, GUILTY!"
The words that I feared but knew were coming had been said. Ever since I saw Light muttering to himself earlier, I knew it was going to happen.
I looked around the courtroom, it was weird but it was the first time I had done so after a trial, but what I saw was shocking, but up in the crowd of people watching the trial, there was a young woman crying.
I stood there pondering what this might mean but I was interrupted in my train of thought by the bailiff, he was shouting, "Court is dismissed, please leave the courtroom immediately!"
So that's just what I did, I left the courtroom and the court altogether. I couldn't face a guilty man after his trial, so I just went back to the office. Maya was there but not Pearl, thank God, I think she'd kill me if she saw me fail in court.
So I told Maya what had happened and then she shouted, "We have to get that book Nick! And I know we can, we just need to sneak into the police department and steal it!"
"That's not happening I'm not sneaking into Criminal Affairs but if you do don't expect me to defend you when you get caught."
"Awww. OK then, how's this? We'll get Gumshoe the biggest steak he'll ever see and show it to him but only give it to him if he agrees to give us the notebook! It's brilliant"
"Hmm, it's not certain to work but since it's Gumshoe it just might and I really need to see this book."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, when I went to answer it, it was the woman from the trial, the one who was crying.
"Mr. Wright?" she asked.
"Yes, that's me. Can I help you with anything?"
"It's not how you can help me, it's how I can help you."
"What do you mean?"
"May I come in? This can't be heard by anyone."
"Of course, right this way." I lead her into my office, where Maya is sitting watching a report on the trial.
"Turn that off, please."
"OK, but who was at the door? Oh, it must have been you."
This was obviously aimed at the mystery woman.
"That reminds me, you didn't introduce yourself."
"That's right, my name is Misa Amane. I'm a model/actress ... and I was also dating Light."
"I see, well I'm sorry for what's happened."
"It's fine, you see we had a plan in case this happened."
"And this plan involves me?"
"Yes, quite a lot actually. Now, I need you to take this for me. I think you probably want to get your hands on the other one."
"What is it?"
"It's a death note. You see, right now there are actually two in our world. This one and the one that is going to be incinerated by the police"
"I see and why are you giving it to me?"
"You're needed for the plan and you won't be able to understand the plan until you take this."
"Nick, don't do it, I sense something evil coming from that thing and if you touch it, who knows what'll happen?"
"I have to Maya, if it's a request from my client, I must honour it."
So I took the book from her and I screamed at what I saw.
I always thought they were just legends, but not any more, it was a Shinigami!
