Leave a Trail Chapter 4

Adjusting

Trail sat on her new bed, looking around her new bedroom. It was the same size of Nears, a small square in the large house. In the room, was a book case, a desk, a laptop, a swivel chair, a wardrobe and of course, the bed she sat on.

Matt and Mello had shown her the kitchen when they got hungry, Near not being hungry stayed in his room. So at the moment, in the drawer of her desk, there were five lollipops, and one in her mouth.

Trail wondered what time it was. She looked around the room; No clock. There was one window though, but all that told Trail was that it was dark outside. It was winter, maybe it was 5pm? Mello had told her that the kids just grab themselves dinner, and some cooked food would be left out on the dining room table.

Nah... Trail though, examining her lollipop. From now on, I will live lollipops. Ah, the thoughts of a three year old. Trail hopped off her bed, and walked to her desk. She looked at the new laptop she had received. L had told her she'd get one so she could solve cases. But I'm only three, how can I be a detective? L had also told her, she'd only receive minor cases for practise.

Trail sat up on the swivel chair, and crossed her legs, she held her ankles with her left hand, while she turned on the laptop with her right. Once the laptop had loaded, she saw she had a few icons on her laptop. Phone, email, internet, and note pad. She looked around the computer, and saw a small microphone.

Trail opened up her email, and saw an email. It was entitled "Welcome to Wammy's House". Trail reluctantly opened it, and read it. It was nothing special. A simple map of the building, a class schedule, and of course, "We hope you enjoy your time here". Trail looked at the sender. It was from Rodger. Who's Rodger?

Trail looked through the rest of the window. No more emails. Nothing to do.

Knock knock!

Trails' head snapped round to her door. She hopped off the chair, and walked over to it. She reached up for the door, and opened it.

It was Matt and Mello.

What a surprise.

"Hi Matt. Hi Mello." Trail greeted the two. "What brings you to this side of the woods?"

"L's in Nears room, we thought we'd come get you, newbie." Mello teased.

"Ha." Trail laughed. She stepped out of her room, and closed her door. The three made their way to Nears room to see L. Trail still had her lollipop in her mouth, it was getting very small.

At last outside Nears' room, Mello just opened the door, and walked in like he owned it. Near sighed, and looked down to his toys at the sight of the blonde boy. L was sitting on Nears' swivel chair in his unusual crouch. He turned his head to the now opened door, which Trail was about to close.

"Hello, children." L said, turning back round to Nears' computer. He appeared to be playing chess online.

Mello and Matt murmured a hello. "Hi." Trail said. She walked over to Near, and sat next to him. Near was playing with a colourful robot. There were a few tiny bulbs, and some of them were flashing blue and red. "Hi, to you too." Trail said to Near this time.

"Hi." Near gave Trail something that looked like a small smile. It was very cute, then again, all five year olds are cute.

Trail smiled back at him.

Crack

Trail took the white lollipop stick from her mouth, and swallowed the small pieces of candy.
