Leave a Trail
Chapter 6-Laser Pointer
"L." Trail started. She was sat upon his bed, being in his room for the first time ever. The room was dark, the curtains were closed. The only light was from L's computer screen. The bed was perfectly made, but it had files all over it, so it appeared as messy. On a large arm chair in one of the corners in the bedroom was a small blanket. That's probably where L slept.
"Yes, Trail?" L replied, spinning round on his chair.
"Can you help me with my case? It's hard." Trail admitted. Yesterday, she had gotten hold of Elizabeth's boyfriend's number. He had told her that he had no idea where Elizabeth was, and that she had actually told him goodbye. He did admit to being a little hard on Elizabeth though, and he also admitted to dragging her out as late as he wanted her. But in the end, it wasn't much help.
"Yes I can. But I won't be giving you too much help. I'd like for you to learn to do things by yourself before I'm gone." L tells her.
Trail looks up. "Where would you be going?" as asks.
"Well, in a couple of years I'll be eighteen, and I can start doing cases all around the world." He says. There's silence for a moment. "Or I could be forced to leave Wammy's early and killed."
Trail looked rather shocked now. "R-really?" she asked. "But you're L. Who'd want to kill you?"
"Well, Trail, people who do not want to be stopped, caught or killed. But it will have to be a rather large case for me to come out in the open." L said matter-of-factly.
"Oh yeah." Trail looked down. "So can you come help me with my case?" she asked again.
"Yes." L said hopping off of his chair. The two walked round to Trails' room. "Do you like Wammy's?" L asked on the way.
"It's alright I suppose." Trail answered. "I still miss my dad." L looked down at the small girl, who was still looking down at the ground. L hadn't met his parents, he didn't know if he was taken to Wammy's because his parents were dead, because they were unfit, because they didn't want him or they knew he was incredibly intelligent, and wanted to let him show his potential. Sometimes he wondered if he missed his parents, but he couldn't. He didn't know them. So he couldn't act like he knew what Trail was going through because one, he didn't, and two, he can't act.
"I bet you do..." was all L was able to say. It didn't work, as Trail didn't answer back and still staring at the ground. L noticed Trail didn't have a lollipop in her hand or mouth for once. And then he noticed something else; he didn't have any sweets either! Maybe that's why he couldn't think properly? "Trail, can we please stop off in the kitchen first?" L asked.
Trail looked up to him. "Sure." She said. They continued walking, and skipped the turn to go to the girls' corridor. There were still some kids wondering round the hallway. L opened the door to get out of the small room. Trail reluctantly walked through, and L followed.
At last in the kitchen, the two saw Matt sitting lazily in a chair playing with a game boy whilst Mello was kneeling on a counter reaching up into a cupboard, probably trying to get some chocolate. He was holding a small pen like thing, whilst pressing a button. He was aiming about the cupboard with it.
"Hi." Trail said, trying to remember where the lollipops were kept. L instead reached up into a cupboard next to Mello, taking down a large jar filled with lollipops. It was a little heavy so he put it on the table next to Matt for Trail. L then grabbed a couple bars of chocolate and gave them to Mello.
"Thanks, L!" he smiled. He put them down, and grabbed something else. "Matt." He called. Matt turned round from his game. "Here's your candy cigarettes." Mello then threw the small box of candy to Matt, who just managed to catch them.
"Thanks Mells." Matt smiled to his friend.
"Hey Trail, we got some laser pointers." Mello boasted. "It was a four pack, so me and Matt got one each. Do you want one?" he asked.
"Sure." Trail smiled to Mello, walking over the large jar of lollipops. Who knew this place had so many sweets.
"What colour? I have yellow, Matt has red and there's blue and green left." Mello said.
"Blue please." Trail opened the jar of lollipops, taking out a strawberry lollipop. She looked over to L who was searching through the sweets for what he wanted. Mello handed Trail the small pointer. She aimed it around the kitchen and saw a small blue dot. It wouldn't work well because it was day. "L's going to help me with my case. Do you two want to help too?"
"Sure. I will." Matt says.
"I suppose I will too then." Mello sighed. L walked back to the kitchen door, carrying a small bag of fudge. The four walked back up the hall to Trails room.
Once they had arrived, Trail realized she had left her computer on. She sighed and walked over to it. She had already opened notepad, and she went over her notes to Matt, Mello and L.
A/N: Again, late. But I need ideas people! Help me out! 3
Well, I decided to bring laser pointers into this thing, making the world a little weirder every day.
