L's POV

The entire Task Force sat on their edges of their seats as they began to listen in on Light's conversation with the mystery club runner.

"How long ago was it that you first sought me out?" The mystery man asked.

"I-" Light stuttered.

"Yes?" The man urged.

"Th-three years."

Light's POV

"Good," Beyond praised him. "In all of that time-we became friends haven't we?"

"I guess." Light said and flinched as Beyond's fist came hurtling toward him.

L's POV

"What's just happened? Where's Light?" Sochior Yagami panicked. Surely enough, the sound went dead as a crackling was heard.

Light's POV

"I'm sorry I had to be so mean." Beyond said as he glomped Light.

"No problem. It's safe to speak now isn't it?" Light asked.

"Yes! Although you did already reveal some major confidential information." Beyond said as he grabbed a jar of strawberry jam off of his desk.

"You should have signaled me sooner." Light complained.

"My bad then." Beyond gestured for Light to take a seat.

"So, are you gonna tell me then?"

"Straight to the point."

"To out it bluntly, I don't have time to deal with whatever petty suspense you want to build up."

"Ruining my fun aren't you-be patient."

"Patience is something I can't afford right now."

"However, I can."

"Beyond!"

"Light." Beyond's voice was calm.

"Beyond," Light's voice got quiet. "Please."

A sigh could be heard, "Fine." Beyond said. "Just don't forget I warned you."

"No you didn't,"

"Well, now you can say I did."
