Chapter 8

The murders were over with. Now, BB, or in this case Rue, has been hired by the first victims parents to investigate the crime scene. Beyond told me to stay around the house so that I could warn him if someone was coming. The police have already searched the crime scene and they found nothing. I have a feeling that L will send someone else to search it though.

I sat on a bench across the road from the house. A familiar black-headed woman caught my attention. Naomi Misora. I crushed the juice box that I had in my hands as I seen Misora walking towards the house, causing juice to squirt all over the sidewalk. I grumbled and threw it away in a nearby trash-can. I have to tell Beyond he's got company on the way.

I entered the house via the back door, making sure nobody was around first of course. I found B sitting on a chair in the living room with his knees up to his chest. What an odd way to sit. Why is he sitting like that? I wondered but pushed the question away.

"Hello Lamia." Beyond greeted me.

"You'll have company any moment now. It's the FBI agent, Naomi Misora." I told him and crossed my arms.

"So?"

"I suggest you go hide or something. Spy on her to see if she contacts L, then come out and tell her that your the detective that Bridesmade's family hired." I shoved him off the chair and dragged him into the nearest bedroom, which happened to be the room that BB killed his first victim in.

I heard the front door open and close. I glanced down at the floor and waved goodbye to BB, then snuck out the back door. Phew, we were so close to being caught! I sighed in relief and went back to the bench I was sitting on moments ago.

Whenever Misora and Beyond finally exited the house, I was about to doze off into reverie. I snorted in laughter as I seen how BB was walking. His back was haunched a little and his hands were in his pockets. He's mocking L I suppose.

Misora went on her own way and Beyond came over to where I was at. "How did everything go?" I questioned him after I stood up.

"She had great deduction skills. No wonder L chose her to look in on this case." He answered.

"You mean your case, right?" I smirked at him.

"I suppose so." Beyond said and started walking. I followed him and grabbed ahold of his sleeve like always. I noticed his posture was back to normal after a few minutes. Beyond creeped me out right now because his eyes were bulging and dark, while his normal eyes were pretty.

"Why the fuck are you following me!" I yelled at a man that had short-ish black hair and ice blue eyes.

The young man just smirked at my tone of voice and choice of colorful language. People walking around us stared, and I didn't care at all. I wanted this person to leave me alone. I don't care if everyone sees this, he shouldn't have messed with a sadistic sociopath.

"Raye Pember." I said in a quiet, dark voice. The black-headed man must have pondered how I knew his name, and rose a brow at me.

"Tell me why you are following me." I told him. He flashed an FBI ID at me, and my eyebrows furrow in anger.

"You are under surveillance by the LAPD. Now answer my question. How did you figure out my name before I showed you my ID, Lamia Amane?"

"Why am I under surveillance? What the hell did I ever do!?" I nearly screamed at the man, ignoring his question.

"Your sister's managers wanted to make sure you were doing okay, so they assigned me to make sure you are behaving because you have been seen with a man several times and you refused to tell Misa who he was. For all they know he could be a criminal, and you might be working with him." Raye explained to me in a serious voice, and his blue eyes narrowed.

I sighed and put a hand on my hip. Who does this guy think he is! Stalking me and then saying Misa wanted somebody to make sure I was okay...but that is believable. Still, Raye needs to go away before I kill him.

"I would suggest that you quit following me." I shoved past him and walked on. Sure enough he kept following me, but this time I grabbed my ninjato and spun around, catching Raye off-guard. I sliced in an upwards motion, planning on cutting the man's cheek, but the man caught onto the attack quickly and barely managed to dodge it. All he got was a tear in his suit's sleeve.

And as usual, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and I was stabbed in the arm for a second by what I supposed was a needle, and I winced in pain. My arm that was holding my ninjato went numb after I slashed at Raye some more, causing me to drop the weapon. I decided to kick Raye since my sword-arm went numb. Not a good idea on my watch, because as my foot came in contact with Raye's face, my vision blurred and everything went black.
