L sits in his favoured chair, the laptop in front him, poring over the security footage from Blackstone Psychiatric Hospital. He watches as Silence pulls the two Glocks from where they're hidden in her clothes. He watches as she shoots a guard. Then another. She throws one to B and they both begin to fire.

'Hard to believe that this is the girl that could hardly bear to kill a fly, let alone a person..'

"Hey, Ryuzaki. What're you watching?"

L doesn't answer, just turns the laptop a little more toward Matsuda's direction.

"Oh. Is that that BB dude and the 'unknown female'?"

"She isn't an 'unknown female'. I know her quite well, actually."

"Oh, right. Why're you watching this stuff? Aren't you supposed to be looking over the security tapes from the Kitamura household?"

"Since when did you become the greatest detective in the world?" L asks, raising an eyebrow. He doesn't like being questioned.

"S-Sorry."

"To answer your question, I'm attempting to figure out where she and B could be located. Blackstone is in London so, it is safe to say that she is also currently residing in London. Which would make sense considering her occupation."

"What's her occupation?" Matsuda wonders, watching the screen as Silence shoots a radio out of a female guard's hand.

"That's none of your concern."

"Sorry."

"Don't be. Her job is very dangerous one, let's just say that."

"Oh.." Matsuda trails off, not sure what to say to the dark-eyed man before him.

"Matsuda?"

"Y-Yes?" Matsuda is jolted from his thoughts by L's monotonous voice.

"It is more or less certain that these two will be coming here. I want you to look out for them. If you see them on the streets or anywhere, really, please introduce yourself as a member of the task force."

"What if they don't believe me?"

"I assure you that they already know who the members of the task force are. Oh, don't introduce yourself as your alias. All you'll do is piss S off and you do not want to do that."

"Why not? How will she know it's an alias?"

"Because she already knows all of your real names, no doubt about it. Also.."

L pulls down the sleeve of his t-shirt to show his shoulder where a circular scar can be seen, red against the paleness of L's skin.

"D-Did she shoot you?" Matsuda asks, suddenly worried at having to approach this girl.

"Yes. She did."

"Why!? What did you do!?"

"That is a story for another day. Don't worry. She shouldn't shoot or stab you without good reason," L continues, chewing on his thumb nail.

"That is if you don't piss her off too much or scare her, for that matter."

'Learnt that the hard way..'

"Oh, and Matusda?" L calls the man who is just walking from the room.

Matsuda stops and turns slightly.

"Yeah?"

"Don't let Watari know of this, okay?"

"Huh?"


Silence sits on the bed in the hotel room, sorting through her bag. There isn't a lot in it. A couple spare t-shirts, underwear, toiletries, four guns and ammo. Also, a few things from Wammy's for L.

"He better love me for this.." She mutters, placing them back in her bag.

Just as she says this, B steps out from the bathroom wearing only a towel, drying his hair with another.

"Dude! Put some clothes on!" Silence yells, throwing a t-shirt at him.

B catches it and throws it over his head then continues to dry his hair.

"What're you doing?"

"Just sorting everything out. Figuring out a way to get into the Task Force Headquarters."

"Just call L. You have his number, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I learned whilst back at Wammy's, Watari made him get a new phone. Stupid old man.. "

"Why?"

"To ensure his safety, apparently. Probably to stop us from tracking him down."

B grabs a pair of jeans and wanders back to the bathroom to put them on, leaving Silence in the main room.

"Now.. How are we going to get in? No doubt Watari is doing everything in his power to prevent us from contacting L. If he knows that we are in Tokyo right now, he'll be extra cautious. God, I don't know!" Silence throws her phone at the wall and watches as it bounces off and crashes to the floor. She does this when she'd stressed or frustrated. Countless phones have felt Silence's wrath but, luckily, this phone is near indestructible. That's why she bought it. So she could throw it as many times as she wanted and wouldn't have to buy a new one.

"Dammit, Watari.."

B opens the door from the bathroom and wanders out, hands in pockets, spine now straightened after sleeping.

"No need to throw things, Silence," He remarks, picking the phone up and handing it back to the green-haired girl.

"I'm going out for jam. Wanna come with? Can't believe that this place doesn't have any jam.."

"...Sure." Silence sighs, standing up, having thought of nothing better to do with her time.


The phone-throwing thing is something I do when I get pissed off. The amount of phones that have been destroyed because of me.. Woah.
