You turned the bedroom light on as you entered your room, you closed the door behind you and headed towards the bathroom. You had a 30 minute bubble bath, you got dressed into a baggy blue t shit and a pair of black shorts.
You grabbed a tv remote from the dresser side and walked over towards your bed. You sat down on the edge of your bed, you turned a big wall tv on and lay back on your bed. You rolled on onto your stomach and leant on your left hand as you began to watch the television.
Knock... Knock... Knock
' Come in!' You shouted.
You looked towards the bedroom's door, you watched as Matt peeped his head around the door and smiled at him. You turned your attention back towards the television and sighed when the News came on.
' In today's news, the serial killer behind the murders known as L.A. Serial Locked Room Killings as struck again. A 26-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment in the east side of Los Angeles this morning by her roommate, the L.A. Police Department have no leads so far and continue to search...'
' So that's what they're calling the murders then... ' Sighed Matt, he sat down on the edge of your bed and placed his blue sleeping bag on his lap.' Is there anything good on TV tonight?'
' Yeah seems like it...' You answered as you turned the television over to a different channel and placed the tv remote down on your bed next to you.' I'm not sure, but I think there a cheesy horror/slushy romance movie on in a while...'
' I like the sound of that...' Smirked Matt, he removed his goggles away from his dark blue eyes and placed them on the top of his head.' The horror part, not the slushy romance bit...'
' I believe you...' You chuckled, you rolled over onto your back and rested your hands on your stomach as it rumbled.' I'm hungry...'
' I'll tell you what, I'll get us some popcorn and we can have a movie night or something...' Smiled Matt, he took his white DS from a roll of his sleeping bag and placed it down next to him.' We can chill or talk like we use to do at The Wammy, even better that Mells is not here and we don't have to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the hundredth time...'
' True, could you imagine Mello's faces if he found a golden ticket...' You Laughed, you sat up on your bed and crossed your legs as you picked Matt's DS from your bed.' It would be a picture, I like the sound of popcorn...'
' Could you imagine the state of his pants?' Chuckled Matt, he dropped his sleeping bag on your lap and jumped up from the edge of your bed as he shouted.' Explosion!'
' And you told Mello about lowing the tone...' You sighed, you rolled your eyes as you flicked Matt's DS open and turned it on.' Remember to get buttered popcorn.'
'Of course, I'll be back in a while...' Smiled Matt as he walked off towards your bedroom door.
' And maybe some milkshake too!' You shouted.
Matt stopped in the doorway of your room, he turned around to face you and bowed to you.' Whatever my lady wants, she shall have...'
' You're a dork!' You smiled as you looked up from the DS and slightly shook your head.' Hurry up!'
You watched Matt leave your room, you crawled to the other end of your bed and lay back on your pillow. You snuggled back into your bed, you covered yourself up with your black fleece and began to play a Mario Bros game on his DS.
It was not long before Matt returned with a bag of microwaved popcorn, a box of lucky charms and two cartons of milk. He kicked your room's door shut behind him and walked over towards your bed.
' You're not playing on my file right?' Asked Matt.
You looked up from his DS and smirked.' What would you do if I said yes?'
' Then I'd have to kill you...' Smirked Matt, he placed down the box of cereal and the popcorn bag with the two cartons of milk down on your bed.' We're out of milkshake, so I brought you milk.'
' Close enough...' You smiled, you placed the DS down on your stomach and grabbed the microwaved bag of popcorn from your bed.' What's with the cereal?'
' The cereal is for me...' Grinned Matt, he sat down on the edge of your bed and kicked his leather boots off.' Move over!'
You moved over in your bed, you watched Matt put his feet up on your bed and put his hands behind his head as he lay back on your bed. You opened the bag of popcorn and began to watched the movie.
After an hour you yawned, you looked at Matt sitting next to you and sighed when you saw him playing on his DS. You placed the empty bag of popcorn between you and Matt. You rolled on your side and peeped at the game Matt was playing on his DS.
' Matt?' You asked.
' Yeah...' Answered Matt.
' Do you ever think L will find love?' You asked.
' Who knows, but as you very well know that his first love is Justice and his second love is strawberry shortcake...' Answered Matt, he looked up from his DS and stared at the television.' Unless he marries a giant green gummy bear alien, what's with the random question anyway?'
' No reason, I was just making small talk...' You sighed.
' Do you want to talk?' Asked Matt, he saved his game and closed his DS.' I'll listen if that's what you want...'
' Well, I think may remember A from The Wammy House...' You whispered.
' Really?' Asked Matt.
' Yeah kind of, I've got a photographic memory as you very well know...' You sighed as you pulled your black fleece over your shoulder and closed your eyes.' Ever since I saw his photograph I feel like I know something important, but I can't remember what it is...'
' Have you told L about this?' Asked Matt.
You opened your eyes and slightly shook your head.
' Would you like me to talk to him for you?' Asked Matt.
' No, I don't really want to say anything until I remember it...' You Answered.
Matt rolled on his side, he leant on his hand as he gently brushed your fringe away from your eyes and smiled.' Okay, I'll say nothing until you're ready...'
' Thanks Matt...' You smiled.
' Anytime...' Smiled Matt, he pulled a piece of cereal from your hair and held it in front of his face.' How did that get in your hair?'
' No idea, you eat like a pig anyway...' You laughed.
Matt chuckled as he popped the piece of cereal in his mouth and grinned at you.' Sketchalious!'
' You're weird...' You Laughed, you pushed Matt away from you and gasped as he fell off the edge of your bed.' Matt!'
' Ouch to my head...' Whined Matt.
You quickly sat up in your bed, you looked over the edge of your bed and frowned when you saw Matt lying on the floor.' I'm so sorry, are you okay?'
' I'll live...' Sighed Matt, he sat up and rubbed the back of his head as he smirked at you.' Kiss it better?'
You grabbed a pillow from your bed, you hit Matt over the head with it and laughed.' Never!'
' Pillow fight!' Laughed Matt as he pulled your pillow from your hand.
Beep... beep... beep
You slowly opened your eyes as the alarm clock went off, you reached your hand out towards your alarm clock and turned it off. You sat up in your bed, you looked around your room and yawned.
' Matt...' You sleepily muttered, you pulled your blankets away from you and sat on the edge of your bed.' Are you here?'
You itched the back of your head as you got up from your bed, you walked over towards the bathroom and yawned. You quickly showered, you got dressed into a pair of blue jeans and a blue jumper. You left your bedroom and walked towards the living room. You smiled when you saw Near sitting next to the coffee table with his toy robot and eating a bowl of cereal.
' Good morning Sketch. ' Said Near.
' Good morning Near. ' You smiled, you stopped next to the coffee table and put your hands behind your back.' Where is everyone?'
' L is in his room, well Matt and Mello are in the kitchen.' Answered Near.
' Okay, do you need anything from the kitchen?' You asked.
' No thank you.' Answered Near.
You walked towards the kitchen, you smiled when you saw Mello sitting on the kitchen counter eating a chocolate bar and Matt was leaning back against the kitchen counter well he played on his white DS.
' Hey guys.' You smiled.
' Hey Sketch...' Said Matt, he looked up at you from his DS and smiled.' How are you feeling?'
' Better...' You smiled, you picked an apple from the fruit bowl and took a bite out of it.' How's your head?'
'Better too...' Chuckled Matt, he rubbed the back of his head as he looked back down at his DS and smiled.' It didn't hurt that much, but I'm here if you need to talk...'
' I know.' You smiled.
' So, what did you pair do last night?' Asked Mello.
' Nothing, we just watched movie and talked.' You answered.
' Yeah, we watched some slushy romance/horror film with some green gummy bear aliens in it...' Sighed Matt, he looked back down at his DS and chewed his bottom lip.' It was crap...'
' Oh really?' Smirked Mello, he snapped a block of chocolate from his chocolate bar and popped it into his mouth.' Then what was that bang I heard come from Sketch's room last night?'
' Lowing the tone once again I see Mells...' Muttered Matt.
' I pushed Matt off my bed, it was accident...' You sighed.
' Really? Me and L heard a lot of laughing coming from Sketch's room too.' Smirked Mello.
' Shut up Mells!' Frowned Matt as he looked up from his DS and licked his tongue out at him.' Behave yourself!'
' Touchy!' Laughed Mello.
You giggled as you slightly shook you head, you noticed L walk hunched over through the kitchen's doorway with his hands in his jean pockets and an emotionless expression on his face.
' Matt and Mello. I would like you to go and take a look around the third victim's apartment.' Said L, he stopped next to you and pulled a piece of paper from his jean pocket.
' Sounds like a plan... ' Muttered Matt, he glanced up from his DS and gave L a big grin.
' So, what are we meant to be looking for? ' Asked Mello, he slid from the kitchen counter and took a bite out of his chocolate bar.
' I believe that the Los Angeles Police Department may have missed something, yet I'm 87% sure that Beyond Birthday may have left clue behind at the crime scene like he did at the last two crime scenes...' Said L, he held out a piece of paper towards Mello and sighed.' This is the address to Backyard Bottomslash's apartment, I want you keep in contact by phone and be very cautious.'
' Okay...' Nodded Mello, he took the piece of paper from L's hand and put it in his coat pocket.' Are you ready Matt?'
' Yeah, give me a second...' Muttered Matt.
' Shall I get my sketch book?' You asked,
' Your sketch book?' Frowned Mello, he took a bite out of his chocolate and stared at you.' You're not coming with us this time...'
' Why not?' You asked, you placed your apple down on the kitchen counter and crossed your arms as you stared at L.' I normally go with Matt and Mello to the crime scenes. Why can't I go with them this time?'
' Why do you think?' Smirked Mello.
' Sketch, it will be much safer for you to stay at the hotel this time with me and Near.' Said L, he itched the soul of his foot on the back of his leg and sighed.
' Yeah, you're grounded...' Smirked Mello.
' But this isn't fair!' You frowned, you grabbed your apple from the kitchen counter and stared at L.' You assigned me to this case and now you're grounding me. You're making me feel useless...'
' You're not useless...' Muttered Matt.
' Sketch, I've not grounded you...' Sighed L, he gave you a sideways glance and put his thumb to his lips.' You'll be assisting me by going through Forensic and Autopsy reports for each of the victims. '
' Fine then...' You grumbled.
You walked out of the kitchen, you sat down on the sofa in the living room and pulled your legs to your chest. You watched Mello leave the hotel room with Matt following behind him as he played on his DS, you took a bite of your apple and turned the television on. You glanced at L as he walked from the kitchen and turned your attention back to the television.
' Sketch, I would like you to begin on the Autopsy reports and study each photograph individually. If you would please take detailed notes for each victim, that includes wounds and research into the paralyzing drugs found in their systems.' Said L.
' Okay...' You sighed, you looked towards L sitting at the kitchen table and took a bite of your apple.' Do you have the blood results back for Backyard Bottomslash yet?'
' Yes, her blood results are in the envelope with the Autopsy report.' Said L.
' Does she have traces of Pancuronium, Lidocaine, Propofol and Narcotics in her blood?' You asked.
' Yes, just like the other two victims...' Said L, he picked a large white envelope up from the table and placed it on top of a pile of case file folders.' Beyond Birthday must have made a concoction of drugs which he injects his victims with before their death, this renders the victim helpless and unconscious.'
' That's horrible...' You muttered.
' Sketch, I would like you to start with...' Said L
' Can I at least have breakfast first before I start on anything...' You interrupted.
' Of course...' Muttered L.
You got up from the sofa, you placed your apple down on the coffee table and began walking off towards your room.
' Sketch, where are going?' Asked L.
You looked over your shoulder at L as you opened your bedroom's door and sighed.' To the bathroom, is that okay by you?'
L slightly nodded his head and looked down at a file case folder in front of him.
You walked into your room and closed the door behind you. You used the bathroom, you walked over to the dressing table and ran you fingers through your hair as you looked into the dressing table's mirror. You froze when you heard a buzzing sound coming from the other side of the room, you looked over towards your bed and frowned. You slowly walked over towards your bed, you knelt next to your bed and peeped under it. You noticed a small red shiny box under your bed, you reached under your bed and carefully took it from under your bed. You felt the box vibrating in your hands, you took the lid off the box and found a red mobile phone inside of it.
You took the mobile phone from the box, you placed the box down on the floor and frowned when you noticed caller ID unknown. You pressed a green button on the phone and put it to your ear.
* On the phone *
' Hello? ' You asked.
' Hello my dear...' Chuckled a males voice on the other end of the phone.
Your eyes grew wide as you recognised the voice on the other end of the phone, you got up from the floor and looked around your room.' Beyond Birthday?'
' Did you miss me ? I've missed you.' Chuckled Beyond.
' How did you... ' You muttered.
' How did I get the phone into your room? I climbed through your room's window that you kept open each night this week, you're so pretty when you are sleeping... '
' What do you want?' You asked.
' You... '
' W-w-where are you?' You stuttered.
'I'm in the hotel room next to yours, listen... ' Whispered Beyond.
You jumped when you heard knock come from the other side of your room, you looked over towards the wardrobe and walked over to it. You placed your hand on the wall and quickly removed it when you heard another knock.
' That's me!' Chuckled Beyond.
' I'm h-h-hanging up... ' You stuttered, you removed the mobile phone from your ear and took a deep breath.
' If you hang up your friends are dead!' Shouted Beyond from the other end of the phone.
You put the mobile phone back to your ear and gasped.' What?!'
' You heard me right, I've got your Mello and Matt...' Chuckled Beyond.
' You're lying...' You frowned.
' Come next door and I'll show you were they are...'
' I'm not allowed out of the hotel room...' You said quietly.
'Who said anything about leaving the hotel room, I want you to go to your window and open it...' Chuckled Beyond.
You slowly walked over to your room's window, you opened it wide and placed your hand on the window sill. You peeped your head around the window frame, you saw Beyond Birthday sitting across the window sill of the hotel room next door to your room.
' Hello.' Smirked Beyond, he held out his hand towards you and sang to you.' Come and see your Wammy Boys...'
You hung up the phone and put it in your jean pocket.
' I don't believe that you have Matt and Mello. You're trying to trick me...' You frowned.
' Oh I do have them, I have proof!' Smirked Beyond, he put his hand in his black hoody pocket and pulled Mello's red colored rosary from it.' Do you believe me yet?'
' Mello's rosary...' You whispered to yourself.
' I also have this...' Chuckled Beyond, he took Matt's white DS from his other hoody pocket and held it towards you.' They'll live if you come with me...'
You looked towards your bedroom's door, you tucked some of your hair behind your ear and looked back towards Beyond Birthday and trembled.
' Please don't hurt them...' You said quietly.
' Then you know what to do, use the ledge of the building and walk over towards me...' Smirked Beyond, he put the DS and rosary back in his hoody pocket as he chuckled.' It's quite safe...'
' I can't d-d-do this...' You stuttered as you looked out of the window.
' Do it or they'll dead!' Smirked Beyond.
You removed your shoes, you slowly climbed out of the window and stepped onto the ledge of the building. You leant back onto the building, you took a deep breath as you looked over at Beyond Birthday and gulped. You slowly walked along the ledge towards him and stopped near the window when he held his hand out towards you.
' Take my hand... ' Smirked Beyond, he beckoned you with his hand and chuckled.' I promise that I'll not let you fall...'
You held your hand out towards his hand, you watched as he took hold of your hand and chuckled as you slowly walked closer towards the window. You squealed as you were pulled through the hotel's window, you felt yourself being lifted up in his arms and struggled well he carried you towards the bed.
