Alex POV
I felt awake, but I didn't see anything. Wait, my eyes were closed. I sort of felt sore. My body was aching. Finally, I tried opening my eyes only to see a room with dim light and cameras everywhere facing me. I tried moving, but I was tied down with ropes. Next thing I knew, someone is putting a blind on me. I gave out a shriek.
"What's going on? Who are you?!" I started ranting. Then I heard a voice fill the room, but it was disguised behind a voice filter. "Hello, Miss Winters. I see you are awake. Do you remember any thing that happened before you were put in here?" the voice said. What did happen?
Then it all hit me. I was walking to my class and somebody grabbed me. Big men grabbed me. Well, that sounded childish. If that really happened then I'm under suspicion of being Kira. Why? "Why am I under suspicion of being Kira? Wait a second. You're the same guy from the cafe. You're L, aren't you?" I said as I remembered the panda guy telling me he was L.
"Yes, but that is not the subject I want to talk to you about. I wanted to ask you what you know about Kira." he said in his monotone voice. "I only know what has been said to the public. I'm not Kira, nor do I know him. So let me go!" I yelled. He fell silent for a few seconds before he spoke up again. "You came to Japan after the first killing of Kira was made. I was the only one who knew who was Kira's first victim when you came to Japan. The police now knows, but it was not put out to the public that he was the first. Yet, you have the first victim's name in your book." he said in a suspicious way.
"I guess I'm just as smart as you then. I can put two and two together." I said with confidence. "You know what I think? I think you are only suspicious of me because you have no other suspects." I explained. L was silent for a while. I heard a door open then footsteps coming my way. "Hey, what are you doing?" I asked worriedly. My blindfold was removed by cold, long fingers.
In front of me stood L. The same pale face, black, messy hair, dark eyes with bags, and the same white long-sleeved shirt and worn out jeans stood before me. His back was as curved as before and he used his thumb and first finger to take off the blind fold. "Why go through all of that trouble if you were just going to release me when I shout 'I'm not Kira?'" I asked. He just stared at me dead in the eye. "You are not going to be released from this building, but you will not have to stay in this room. You will have your own room, but you will be staying under constant surveillance. How does that sound to you?"
At least I won't be staying in here. "Why let me out of here? What changed your mind?" I asked. He looked at the ceiling like it had all the answers in the world. He looked at me again. "You may be right that I only suspect you because we have no one else, but I'm still suspicious of you. That's why I'm keeping you under surveillance." he said in a monotone voice. I was untied by him. The question came to me then. "If you weren't here before, then who blind folded me?" I asked out of curiosity. "That was Watari." he said as he pointed to my right. An old man stood there smiling gently at me.
"Before Watari shows you to your room, would you mind watching a few videos and give me your view of what Kira is like?" he asked. It was a test. I just knew it. "Fine." I agreed. I took this time to look around the room. I was in a cell. That was different.
We were now in a room in a hotel. That led to the question of how L put me in a cell in a hotel that wasn't his and nobody noticed. Then that led to another question of why there was a cell in a hotel to begin with. The place looked like your average hotel you would stay in if you were on vacation.
I was currently watching videos that 'Kira' sent to Sakura TV. This Kira didn't work the same, though. This Kira was killing random people and could kill with only a face. The real Kira needed a name and a face. Maybe this is another Kira, but stronger. "That is the same conclusion I came to." L said. He reads minds! "No, you are voicing your thoughts out loud." he said in an amused tone. I am? "You are." he said. "Shut up thoughts." I said to myself.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Watari will show you to your room." L said. "And one more thing. Refer to me as Ryuzaki for safety reasons." he said in a serious tone. "I understand." I said in the same tone. Watari showed my to my room, which was next door. He could of said go next door. Maybe he didn't want me running away. I walked in to find a room that was white with a light blue bedspread on the bed to my right, a wooden desk with a white lamp on it to my left, a walk-in closet beside the desk, a window between the bed and the desk, and a bathroom beside the bed. "Your luggage is in your closet and I will make dinner if you want anything.
I wasn't hungry right now and I was too tired to unpack. So I just laid on my bed and waited for sleep to wash over me. Watari told me to go next door to the main room if I needed anything. Finally, I was asleep and couldn't wait for tomorrow. That was when I was going to let my anger out at Ryuzaki, I can't wait.
