The kids sat patiently in the office waiting for L to arrive. Matt sat on the bay window couch, Mello leaned against the wall with his arms folded, Near sat in a rolling chair spinning endlessly. And Mac sat on a bean bag chair in the office chewing on some minty gum. Soon enough the door squeaked opened and L entered the room. His back hunched and steps slow and steady as always. Mac's eyes trailed his tracks as he grabbed a chair from the desk and feet first, sat in it.

"My, you've all grown since the last time we encountered each other" L announced. They kids nodded at his words.

" Yeah, we've also been working really hard for our futures" Near spoke first of the children.

"Yes,Roger told me so,you all are improving very well..." L said his voice trailing off as he his eyes gazed toward Mac before saying "You attended today" . Mac glanced at him "yeah, but this 'visit' will be cut short for me if you don't get to the point"

" I believe all that salt is effecting you demeanor" L suggested.

" I believe all the sugar is tooling with your brain" Mac spat back.

"It's quite the opposite, it helps my brain"

" As well as salt"

"Salt gives you high blood pressure"

"Sugar gives you cavities"

'Um, L! I finished call of duty in 1 hour and 10 seconds tops, better than the last COD game" Matt sprang in trying to end the tension. L looked towards Matt "Amazing to hear Matt, I will one day like you to challenge in the game. But the 1hour and 10 seconds thingy is tooling with me..."

Matt laughed a bit and rubbed the back of his neck "yeah I kind of used some hacks-what can I say? Some levels were difficult to beat" . L smiled at Matt before looking at Near and Mello "I see you two have been getting along lately, has the bickering come to a halt?" .

"Yes, we've been agreeing and became allies soon maybe friends" Near spoke looking up at Mello who walked up to him and ruffled his hair. "Yeah, I guess so, but its all kind of thanks to Mac"

-FlashBack-

Mello ran around the orphanage four months ago clutching Matt's goggles laughing as Matt struggled to run behind. Near and Mac were stacking dice to build a castle for them to hide out in.

"Mello! Give them back or I'm telling Roger!" Matt pleaded as he cornered Mello around the table..

"Fine, be that way snitch!" Mello said crossing Matt up and making him fall before running towards the play room. Busting through the door, Mello ran across the room not noticing where he was going and knocked over the dice castle-to-be. Near eyes grow bigger and grow angry Mac put down a dice and tried to calm Near down.

"You..." Near spoke getting up "you broke it!" and pushed Mello into a tower of cards Mac designed. Mello pushed him off of him and tackled him into the wall.

"Stop!" Mac shouted in fear for their safety, Matt walked into the room and gasped grabbing onto Mac's shoulder holding her into his arms.

Near pushed Mello off of him before kicking him into a stack of domino's you could hear the bang. Near then ran on top of Mello punching him repeatedly in the stomach. Mello throw Near to the ground and reached for a chair holding it above his head..

"No!" Mac ran from Matt's grasp and covered Near from Mello's outburst "don't injury him more than you've already done,please". Mello slowly calmed down before throwing the chair to the floor and panted.

-End of Flash back-

L tilted his head at Mac "is that so?" He questioned the girl.

"Yeah, they apologized to each other and after that they were on good terms ..." Mac spoke starring back at L. "Amazing, just a simple apology and every thing was Okay?" L asked looking towards the boys.

"Actually, no that's where Mac came in. She would make sit in a room until we actually talked to one another. And in the end we didn't see why we argued" Near informed L. "Yes,I see..." L replied.

The rest of the meeting went on like that for some time. Just catching up on four months of information. L told them about his current case and how it a almost cost him his life. And that led up to the conversation on how every detective should have a nick name for themselves.

" Okay now homework for today..."L began as everyone groaned.

"Today I am giving you all your first detective case..." everyone piped up at this. "There has been previous sightings of one of your mothers here around London, its up to you to reveal who's mother it is. You must work together, I suggest going off in pairs in my opinion. But you must follow the same strategies as I which are-"

"Keep your name an identity, don't give off to much information, and never let your guards down" Mello responded. L shook his head in response.

" No,these tactics are way different from the original-never forget the original- but try to get information out of the mother, don't reveal the name of the child, and don't tell the child you found the mother..."

-Flash Back-

"Roger wasn't it a pleasant sighting to see Diana's mother come for her?" Mac asked her feet on there tippy toes resting her head on Roger's desk.

"Yes, Mackenzie it was, Watari would've loved to see Diana go, she was one of his favorites" Roger covered his mouth and looked around before looking down at Mac "Don't tell the others!" Mac giggled at his words.

Mac looked at her feet before asking "Roger, do you think my mother will come for me, at least visit?".

"I mean, I wouldn't doubt it but you come all the way from Florida and..." Roger began then looked down at Mac before smiling and saying. "You know what, if you really, really what that-"

"I really, really do!"

"Then It can't be impossible, you believed it it will come true" Roger assured taping her nose a little making her giggle.

-End of flashback-

All the children looked at each other and back at L "why can't we tell the person we saw their mom?" Matt asked in a curious voice.

" And what we find our moms on our own?" Mac asked.

L put his thumb up to his lips and spoke "To resolve Matt's question, because if the child was told their mother were to be spotted it is more than likely they'll try to find her. And I don't want you getting hurt, there's cruel beings in this earth..." he paused and turned to Mac "And if you are the one to recover your mother... well... it will be the same out come as the last...but mark my words children as I tell you this now..." L now faced the children his voice grown serious a and so has his face expression. "You're mothers all have various of reasons they left you behind.. but when you question them on adopting you back they'll have various why they can't. Believe me" L finished . The teens knew L was speaking from his encounter with his grandparents. That was a tragic day for him, no one dared to utter a word of it.

L slowly stood up and walked to the door, reaching for the handle he turned back a and spoke "meeting has come to a closure I'll see you in within days time, bye".

"Bye..." the children replied still shocked by L's words. It was like a punishment to them what if their mom's were out there. They'll never see them...and now their to afraid of what the excuse would be.
