Tried this before. Worked like a charm.
Call
"Ugh, I'm sick of all these toll free calls!" Light exclaimed, hitting the 'call ended' button on the phone and replacing it into its holder, shaking his head in annoyance.
"What?" L looked up, raising an eyebrow. Toll-free calls...?
"Oh, right. You don't know… they're calls from salespeople from different companies, trying to sell me things," Light explained exasperatedly.
"Hm. I see," L said, bobbing his head. "Yes, that would be very annoying. You know, you need to find some way to drive them off."
"I don't know how!" Light sighed.
L nodded contemplatively, tail twitching behind him in thought. He brought a finger up to his lips to mouth at and then nodded to himself, seeming to come to a conclusion within his mind.
"Here, next time the phone rings, give it to me," he told Light.
"Hey, Light, are you going to answer that?"
"I don't know…" Light sighed, snatching the ringing phone and giving the screen a cursory glance. "Let me check the caller I.D… ah, it's another toll-free call… hey, what are you doing?" Light exclaimed as L's versatile tail snagged the phone from Light's hand and brought it back to L.
He dropped the phone into his hand and grinned at Light. "Getting rid of the pest for you."
With a wink, L brought the phone up to his ear and said, "Jim's whore house. You got the dough, we got the ho."
"…"
Silence from the other end, and then-
Click.
With a pleased smirk, L turned the phone off, dropped it onto the couch, and turned to Light. "Piece of cake."
