Dinner at the Yagami household that night was an especially awkward affair.
Both Light and Sochiro knew L was watching. It was only Light who knew the other was aware of the cameras.
"So how has school been going?" Sochiro asked, trying to break the silence.
The females of the household could only stare at this awkward interaction.
"Fine." Light smiled.
"Just fine?"
"What else would there be to say?"
"Your grades?" Sochiro ruffled his eyebrows.
All Light could do was pick at the rice on his plate. Luckily, Sayu chose to interupt at that moment.
"He passed all of his exams daddy!" She grinned toothily.
"Yes, I wasn't surprised when he gave me the results but I still couldn't believe it." The mother continued as well.
"Yes well...Good job Light." Sochiro coughed, he honestly couldn't remember the last time things were so awkward between them.
Maybe it was the time he tried to give the sex talk?
Light nodded, "Of course Father." He then collected his plate.
"Your finished?" Mrs. Yagami asked.
He nodded, "May I be excused to study?"
The womans look of confusion quickly turned back into a grin as she beckoned for him to hurry back up to his room.
...Once inside, Light made it a point to emphasize the use of the scrap of paper. Making sure nobody could come into his room while he was sleeping without him known about it.
Light then drew the shade, turned out the lights, started his computer up, and turned the tv on to the news.
...
L and Matsuda were in awe. The boy may have just served his confession to L on a silver platter.
wait...
"What do you got for me boys?" Light spoke into a headset.
"Sorry to say Light, but I got nothing." A voice spoke back.
"Come on, I know you can do better than that baby."
L and Matsuda turned to each other, 'Was Light flirting?' They both thought.
"As much as I love the sweet talk, I still don't have anything. I went through sealed records - heck I even went to Conspiracy theories and so far...nothing."
"Okay, well thats a bust. How about on your end Mori?"
"I got plenty. I went through dozens of reports...all linking farther back then the time of Jack the Ripper."
"I like the sound of this..."
"Oh..theres not just sound...here. I am sending you a series of files. Hopefully you'll get more out of them by reading then you will with me simply relaying it all."
"Thank you Mori!"
"No problem."
"I'll start reading this stuff...same time tomorrow night."
"Yes sir!"
"Affirmative."
L stared at the files on the computer...having gained copies same as Light.
He continued watching Light for another two hours before the boy went to bed.
Then another hour passed by, he watched as Sochiro entered the room and began bugging Light's personal items.
...
Light woke up the next morning.
'Yes.' he was right. The pencil lead had been broken.
...
L facepalmed as he saw what was in the boys hand. The insomniac then reached into his pocket and called up the elder Yagami.
"Mr. Yagami, I believe we just screwed something up." He spoke into the cellphone.
