Lorelai walked into the building as everyone (with the exception of L, Mello, Matt, and Near) was packing up to leave.

"Hey Lorelai."

"Hey Matt."

"So, make any progress with your little espionage adventure?"

"Not sure yet, I'll know when he gets back though."

"That sounds promising," Matt smiled, "sounds like you did good, well I'm gonna head outside for a smoke."

Lorelai smiled and shook her head as he walked out the door, "still haven't gotten him to break that disgusting habit have you Mello?"

"Hey! I'm working on it! Do you know how hard it was to get him to stop playing his stupid games long enough to help us on this case? Him breaking his habits is like me not eating chocolate! It's not possible!"

"Fair enough…tell him that girls don't like kissing ashtrays, knowing Matt that ought to convince him…or in the very least it might get him to smoke less."

"Duly noted."

Kai chose that moment to walk in.

"Mello, Near, witch," he said greeting everyone in the room other than L.

He dropped his bag by the door and continued to his room. Lorelai rolled her eyes and went to pick up his bag.

"I'll be in my room if you need me, hopefully whatever's in here will prove he's Kira."

"Good luck Lorelai," Near said, putting the finishing touches on his tower of dice before Mello decided to knock it over with a swift kick.

Lorelai sat down cross-legged on her bed and pulled out Kai's binder.

"Here's hoping I'm right about this…"

She took a deep breath and opened the binder, flipping through the pages. She frowned and flipped through the pages again, making sure not to miss a single page.

"What the…there's nothing but stupid research for his girlfriend's project! Dang it!"

She threw the binder across the room and flopped back ungracefully onto her bed.

"All that work for nothing, I thought for sure I had him…" She sighed, picked up the binder and put it back in his bag.

"Better go put this back before he realizes it's missing."

Kai lay on his back in his bed with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.

Poor Lorelai, I almost feel sorry for her. She was so close, if she hadn't followed me to Yori's house I wouldn't have ever noticed she was following me to begin with. It's better she did though, I would never have had enough time to replace the pages in my binder again if she hadn't.

With that thought in mind, he turned on his side and fell asleep.
