Leave A Trail

She was told she was going to be taken away. She told she was going to become L's successor. She was told she probably wouldn't see her father again. But she made a promise. She intends on keeping it.

"I'm so worried about Elizabeth. She's been acting strange the past week or so. She's been going out with that guy for about two weeks. Then three days ago she disappeared. One night around five pm, I was coming out from work to go home, and I swear I saw her dad. It was dark, so I'm not sure. He was at the train station, next to the store I work at. He was with a girl, around the same height as Lizzy. But she had darker hair, and had a few bags. The man that looked like Lizzy's dad gave her an envelope hugged her and the girl ran to her train. If that was her dad, I think it was a little odd. Please find Lizzy soon." L read out the message that Angie had sent.

Trail looked out of the window into the garden. It was the second snow day in a row. The day after she saw Nehto. Nehto the kitten. She looked into the corner of the garden, where she and Matt had made a small bed for Nehto out of a hat, a scarf and an old shoe box. They had wrapped the kitten up as well as they could without suffocating the poor thing. They hoped he would be warm. They were going to bring him inside, but to many people were watching, and Nehto was their secret.

Trail was normally focused, but a three year old has to act like a three year old sometimes. When face to face with a tiny kitten, she couldn't help it. Matt couldn't either. So Matt stood with her, looking out the window in search for the small cat. Mello of course couldn't care less. He didn't hate the cat, he didn't think it was the worst thing to happen, he just didn't care. As for Near, he also played with it at times. He had a few pieces of string from old teddies, so he held it around Nehto's head, and watched him bat it. And L, he did like animals. He found them strange, but being a sixteen year old male, if he couldn't get a chance to play with or see the kitten, he didn't mind.

"Trail, what do you think of the email?" L asked her.

Trail looked round to him. "I think..." she said, walking towards her favourite drawer, "Elizabeth and her father may have a small secret. We could get surveillance tapes from that night." She pulled the drawer open, and pulled out a lollipop at random. This lollipop was orange. She unwrapped it quickly, and popped it into her mouth.

L smirked down at her. "That's what I was thinking. From the other call to Elizabeth's mother, we learned that Elizabeth and her father are very close, and her father normally takes his daughters well being extremely seriously."

"Maybe her boyfriend treated her bad, and her father wanted him gone." Near voiced his opinion, getting up and walking to Trail.

"So perhaps she tried to break up with him, and he refused to let her." Trail added.

"Very good you two." L praised the two. Mello walked into the room then, carrying a bar of chocolate and his laser pointer. He pointed it to Matt's back.

"Yo." He said, bouncing onto Trails bed, beginning to eat the chocolate. "News?"

"Somewhat." L said in monotone.

"Okay, so what about her dad and the girl that supposedly looks like her?" Near asked.

"Maybe, her dad knew about the troubles she was having with her boyfriend, and helped her escape? What if she's not missing, she just ran away?" Trail thought aloud.

"Maybe it's time we call her father." L said. Trail and Near nodded. Trail attempted to bite into the lollipop, cracking it slightly, making a very small noise. L got his number from Trail's contact sheet, and set up the phone option. "Trail, would you like to take the call?" Trail nodded, as L hopped off the chair, Trail taking his place and setting the microphone to her level.

The phone rang four times before a man picked up. "Hello?" he said.

"Mr Williams? This is T. I'm investigating your daughters case." She told him.

"..." there was a small pause. "R-really?" he stuttered. "Well...I don't know much about it..."

"Bad liar." Mello said.

"Ssshhh!" Near instructed. Mello folded his arms and continued eating his chocolate.

"A source has told us you were spotted at the local train station with a girl who looks like Elizabeth the night she went missing."

"Me! Outside the train station! Why would I be there?" Mr Williams exclaimed.

"Did you help your daughter run away?"

There was a loud sigh, followed by some silence. "Yes, her boyfriend wouldn't let her break up with him, I was getting so worried, so I gave her £1000 and a train ticket, and she gave herself a makeover to make herself look different. We didn't tell anyone though, we didn't know how her boyfriend would react."

"Not even her mother?" Trail asked.

"No, she'd never go through with it." Mr Williams sighed again. "She'd blame me, and hunt Elizabeth down."

"Of course, it is her fifteen year old child, you've let her stay by herself?" Trail asked him.

"Well, she chose a city where her great aunt stays and a few long distance friends." Mr Williams answered reluctantly.

Trail looked up to L, who was quiet, watching the screen seriously. "I think..." he said quietly, "we can say this case is solved."
