You went over to the black sports bag on the end of your bed and unzipped it. You pulled out the first pieces of clothing you saw and laid them out on the bed. You unzipped the dress, then hung it over the back of the chair near your bed and walked into the bathroom for a shower. You turned the shower on, took the bandage off your leg and got into the shower, the warm water felt great as it cleaned the sand from your skin and hair.

' Ouch.. ' You said, the soapy water ran down your leg to the scratches that Beyond had given you.

When you had finished your shower you wrapped a towel around yourself and walked over to your bed. You dried off, got dressed, then you lay back onto your bed and closed your eyes.

You felt someones hand on your arm as you were gently shaken awake.

' _ . ' Said the voice quietly.

You moaned and pushed the hand away. ' Sleeping... '

' _ ' Said the voice again.

' Not now... ' You sleepyily muttered again. ' Sleeping... '

' Okay, you're asking for it.. ' Said the voice again.

You felt yourself being yanked up and you let out a moan.

' Come on, L wants to talk with you. ' Said the voice, you were lifted over the person's shoulder.

You opened your eyes and looked down to see a chocolate bar sticking out of a back pocket. ' Mello put me down! . ' You said, you grabbed the chocolate bar from his pocket and began to hit the back of his leg with it. ' This isn't funny.. '

Mello gave a little laugh. ' I tried to wake you up many times _. So I took action and it worked. ' He opened the door and walked through it.

' Still not funny... ' You said.

Near was sitting by one of the sofa chairs building a tower out of building blocks and Mello knocked part of it down as he walked by with his foot. He glanced up to see what Mello was doing. ' So childish.. ' He muttered as he began to repair the block tower.

' Hmm... ' Said L, he glanced up from his laptop. ' Mello is that necessary ?'

Mello put you gently down onto the sofa. ' She was being difficult. ' He said, he noticed his chocolate bar in your hand and felt his back pocket. ' Sneaky.. ' He then took the chocolate bar off you and sat down next to you and opened it.

' _ , I need to talk to you. ' Said L, he then handed you a letter.

You took the letter from L and looked down at it. ' Whats is this? ' You asked as you read through the letter.

Dear L

I have a proposition that may interest you, a challenge of cat and mouse for you and I to play. _ will be the judge between us and will watch us each step of the way. The winner takes all. I enclose a puzzle for you to solve that will give you the location of the end game.

B.B

p.s There is a key in the jar that will unlock my location.

' It's a letter from Beyond Birthday that he had left me at the other hotel. ' Said L. ' There was also a key inside the jar of jam as the letter instructed. '

' Yeah thanks for reminding me.. ' Said Mello.

' If we go ahead with what Beyond Birthday is asking, it may endanger your life and even mine. ' Said L. ' I do believe that there is a 66% possibility of that happening. '

' I don't trust him. ' Said Mello. ' It's probably a trap. '

' Yes I agree.' Said L. ' Near solved the puzzle. The location, the date and time have been set. '

' The location is some abandoned apartments in down town Los Angeles. ' Said Near, he placed a block on top of his block tower. ' The date set is 22nd of August and the time 12am. The was no confirmed floor or room number in the puzzle. '

' Matt as been sent to the location to investigate about 2 hours and 57 minutes ago. ' Said L. ' I do not know if he will find any clues, until then we are going in blind. '

You placed the letter onto the coffee table, then pulled your legs against your chest and gave a sigh as you wrapped your arms around you legs.

' Is there some wrong _ ? ' Asked L.

' I'm just tired thats all.' You answered.

' I see. ' Said L.

You heard the door slam and saw Matt walking in carrying a black long box with a red ribbon wrapped around it in a bow.

' I've found something.' said Matt, he placed the long black box onto the coffee table.

L closed his laptop's lid, then leant forward towards the box and touched the red bow with his finger. ' Have you looked to see what the contents of the box is ?'

' No.' Answered Matt. ' The was a card attached to the box, it's addressed to _. ' He then pulled a little black card out of his pocket.

' Interesting... ' Said L, he glanced over to you.

Matt held the little card out towards you and you shook your head.

' I don't want it... ' You said.

L took the card from Matt hand and held it between two of his fingers. ' Hmm.. '

' A clue ? ' Asked Mello.

L opened the small card with his fingers and read the message out loud. ' with fond memories. ' Then L placed the little card on top of the letter on the coffee table. He undid the ribbon on the box and lifted the box lid off.

You looked towards the box to see a arm and looked away.

' Thats sick! ' Shouted Matt, he put his hand over his nose. ' It stinks too! '

' Beyond Birthday, the last of the morbid romantics... ' Said Mello, he leant forward to take a look at the arm.' What kind of person sends somebody a arm ? '

L picked up a pencil and placed the tip of it on the arm. ' Interesting ... '

Near went to stand next to L to see what he had found.

' Dude, don't poke the arm with a pencil... ' Said Matt

' It's seems like we have found the floor and number we have been looking for.. ' Said L. ' They are carved into the side of the arm. ' He then placed the pencil down on the table and put the lid back on the box.

' The 13th floor and the room number is 1313BB . ' Said Near, he walked back to his building blocks. ' BB standing for Beyond Birthday. '

' You're be burning that pencil right L... ' Said Mello, he looked down at the pencil on the coffee table.

L sat back down on the chair and gave Matt a glance. ' I think we need to have a plan B. ' Said L, he put his thumb to his lips. ' I apologise for the pun. '

' Gotcha. ' Said Matt. ' The location you sent me to is pretty deserted, I think there was a abandoned building just across from the apartments where Beyond Birthday plans to met you. Me and Mello can easily keep a eye on you from there. '

' You also could wear a wire so we can hear everything that is happening in the apartment. ' Said Mello. ' Any signs of trouble and we will make a move. '

' I will search for building plans, then we will have a better idea of the layouts. ' Said Matt. ' We'll get started on it right away.'

Mello and Matt left the room to work on their plan.

' _ ' Said L, he turned to look at you. ' Do you agree to come with me ? I know it will put you in danger, but I promise I will not let Beyond Birthday harm you. '

You nodded your head at L.

L reached his hand out to you and placed it on your knee. ' I apologise for you being woken up, try to get some more rest. ' He then removed his hand from your knee and opened his laptop lid.

You got up and walked back to your room and shut the door behind you. You got into bed, then covered yourself up and tried to get some more sleep.
