Beyond held you close to him and whispered in your ear. ' Listen carefully. I want you to pass a message on for me to L.. ' He twisted you around with his arm until you faced him, he held you close and kept his hand over your mouth. ' I have set down a envelope by the sink over there, inside of it there is a gift for him he may like.'
You looked up at his face and saw his red eyes staring back into your eyes. He smirked at you as he stroked the bottom of your back slowly with his finger tips.
' Do you promise to be quiet if I remove my hand from your mouth ?' Asked Beyond.
You nodded your head as he removed his hand from your mouth and he wrapped his other arm around you. You thought for a moment about trying to get information out of him. ' Why did you kill that nurse ?' You said quietly as you tried to keep calm.
Beyond took a look at the dead nurse behind you. ' Just a pawn in my game... her time was up anyway.'
' What do you mean.? ' You asked curiously.
' Her lifespan was coming to a end anyway.' Answered Beyond. ' Don't worry your pretty little head about that, you have along life ahead of you yet.' He said as he stroked your cheek gently.
You started to tremble as Beyond stroked your cheek. ' Please don't hurt me...' You tried to back away from him.
' Are you frightened of me _ ? ' Asked Beyond as he embraced you again. ' I'm not going to hurt you, I've grown quite fond of you.' He leant his face closer to yours.
You froze as his face came closer to yours. ' F- f- fond of... ? ' You stuttered
' You could be my queen if you wanted. ' Said Beyond with a smirk. ' We could play a delicious game together.' He pressed his lips against yours and kissed you softly.
You closed your eyes as Beyond pressed himself closer to you and started to lead you backwards towards the wall. You felt the wall behind you and left out a whimper.
Beyond pulled his lips away from yours. ' I want you... ' He whispered softly to you. ' But it's not the time or place for anything yet.' He let you go and stepped backwards from you.
You slid down the wall until you was sitting on the floor looking up at Beyond.
' See you later.. ' Beyond said with a smirk as he turned and walked from the room.
You started to get up slowly but slipped on the nurse's blood and fell forward into it. You grabbed at the sink counter and managed to pull yourself up. Blood covered your hands and you wiped it onto your jeans. Looking towards the sink you saw the envelope, you grabbed at it with you right hand and turned to walk out of the room. You looked around the room and saw a window open.
' He must have gone through the window... ' You said to yourself, you stood there for a moment and then went to the open the door.
' Hey all done... ' Said Matt, he looked up from his PSP and gave you a smile. ' What the fuck...' A horrified expression crossed his face, he jumped up from the chair and dropped his PSP to the floor.
You stood there as blood dripped from your jacket sleeve. ' Beyond... ' You began to say as Matt ran into the room and you followed behind him.
' Shit...' Said Matt , he knelt down and felt for the nurse's pulse. ' What happened _ ?' He glanced up at you.
' I don't know...' You said as you stood staring at the dead nurse.' He said her time was up.. '
Matt took his phone out of his pocket. ' I'm calling this in... .' He put the phone to his ear, then his hand onto your shoulder and led you out of the room.
* On The Phone *
' Mello, Beyond Birthday was at the hospital.'
'Shit, is _ okay ? Whats the situation at your end? '
' Yeah she is safe. We have 1 casualty thou... the Los Angeles police department will need to be contacted and the hospital security too.'
' Right I am on it.. make your way back to the hotel.'
' Got it.'
* End of phone call *
Matt put his phone back into his pocket. ' Lets go.' He said, he grabbed your arm and rushed you down the hospital corridor.
' Wait what about my bag ?' You asked.
' Leave it, we have to get out of here before the police turn up. ' Answered Matt.
You rushed through the reception area, then out off the hospital doors and ran towards the car park. You got to Matt's car and you both got in it.
Matt started the car up, then sped off out of the hospital car park and he gave you glance a as he was driving. ' Did he hurt you ? '
You shook your head. ' No...' You looked down at the envelope on your lap.
' Whats with the envelope ? ' Asked Matt, as he turned a corner sharply.
' It's for L. ' You said. ' It's from Beyond... '
' I hate that guy...' Said Matt, he turned into the hotel car park and slowed his car down. ' I don't get how he knew we were at the hospital..' He said and parked his car in a space.
You and Matt sat in silent for afew moment untill there was a knock on the roof of Matt's car and Mello appeared at the window on the drivers side.
' You alright guys ? ' Asked Mello with a look of concern on his face.
' Yeah kind of.. ' Answered Matt, he opened his door and got out. ' And dude, don't knock on my baby.' He said, he shut his car door and threw his keys to Mello. ' Lock up it for me bro .' He then walked off.
' It's a car, not a person. ' Said Mello, he rolled his eyes as walked around to your side and open the door for you. ' _. ' He held his hand to you. ' You coming ? '
' Oh yes... sorry.' You said, you took his hand and he pulled you out of the car.
' Sure you're alright ?' Asked Mello, he then shut the door begin you.
You nodded. ' Yeah. '
' Come on, lets get you back to hotel room. ' Said Mello as he walked with you. ' So _, what happened back there ? ' He asked you as you got to the lift and pressed the button.
' He wanted me to pass a message on to L. ' You said and you held up the envelope which had blood smears on it.' This envelope is for him... he said there would be something inside that he would like. '
Mello took the envelope off you and shook it. ' Really, sounds interesting' He said as he had a look at it. ' It sucks thou as he keeps targeting you. '
The lift doors opened and you both got inside. Mello pressed the button for the 29th floor and leant back onto the lifts wall.
' I know he his targeting you to get at L.' Said Mello, he pulled a chocolate bar out off his jacket pocket and tucked the envelope under his arm. ' I think there is some kind of grudge going on. '
You nodded your head at Mello. ' I am starting to think the same too. '
It was not long until the lift stopped at 29th floor. You both got out of the lift and walked down the hotel corridor.
' Want a piece ? ' Asked Mello, he waved his chocolate bar at you.
' No it's okay, I'm not hungry. ' You said as you got to the hotel room and opened the door.
You walked in and saw Near sitting on the floor by the sofa building a tower out of matchsticks.
Near looked up at you. ' Hello _. ' He said and then continued to build his tower.
' Hello Near. ' You said as Mello walked past you, he grabbed you by the arm pulling you along with him as he walked to the kitchen table.
' Okay L. ' Said Mello as he threw the envelope onto the table. ' I think you need to start explaining afew things to us.' He then took a bite from his chocolate bar.
' I second that.' Said Matt, he walked from the kitchen, then handed you a cup full of tea and sat down on the sofa.
L glanced up from his Laptop at Mello . ' Yes I do agree.' He reached his hand out and pick the blood smeared envelope up between two of his fingers. ' The situation is becoming quite messy.'
' More like dangerous.' Said Matt as he lit up a cigarette.
L began to open the envelope carefully as you all watched. He tipped the envelope up side down and 2 pieces of a chest set fell to the table with a smaller envelope and a photograph of 2 small boys. L reached out, then picked up the photograph between 2 fingers and then put his thumb to his lips.
' What is it ? ' You asked, you sat down on a chair at the kitchen table and put your cup down.
L study the photograph for afew moments. ' It's my past coming back to haunt me.' He began to chew his thumbnail.
