L's POV

"Can we get the recordings of what was happening before we started listening to the live feed?" He asked Aizawa as they all attempted to get eyes back into the club where Light was having a secret meeting with a notorious informant.

"Yes." Matsuda answered as he went to take a phone call with interpol.

He re-entered a few moments later.

"Interpol has granted us access of the past hour before the tape stopped." He reported.

"Good. Aizawa-san, if you would please retrieve the tapes from Interpol and bring them straight back here." L ordered. "Mogi, you are to make a list of all of the places Light goes on a regular basis that are not cooresponding to his home or school life." Mogi nodded and took that as his cue to leave and go back to the club in order to continue analyzing Light as soon as he leaves.

"And Sochiro. You are to go home for tonight." L popped a sugar cube into his mouth as he said this.

"Ryuzaki!" Sochiro insisisted. "Taking me away from this won't stop me from siding with Light."

"I know. However, I need you to bug Light's clothing for us."
"What?"

"When we first began survelliance, we failed to bug his clothes and cellphone. This being said, it is quite obvious that we would have made more progress if we had done so from the very beginning."

Sochiro looked shaken by this, even so. "Of course." With that final comment, the Chief exited the hotel room with a small box filled with bugs Watari handed to him.

"Matsuda. You and I will go through the footage and recordings provided by Interpol. Good. Now everyone has something to do." L said as he munched on a few more sugar cubes.
