Chapter 3
As we step ingo the house we're met with darkness. As far as I can tell none of the lights are on in the house. Watari sighs and I try to peer through the darkness in the direction of the sound.
"I swear that boy lives in the dark." There's a click and illumination.
Warning would be nice! I shield my vision and slowly open my eyes adjusting. The room is enourmous, my mouth falls open abit and I scan the room in awe. Y'know how in every movie with a rich person? How they have that grand staircase that comes right down the middle and meets you at the door? Yeah, he's got that. I look up at the ceiling and smile. There's even a cliché crystal chandelier. I head footsteps realizing Watari has moved on. I hurry behind him, my heels echoing through the room. As we reach the stairs I put the handle of my suitcase down and begin to carry it.
The old man leads me on through multiple hallways until I'm completely lost. When we had reached the top step I had started to roll my suitcase again so I'm hanging back a little, but only to take in the view. Watari stops up a head, I glance to the door he's standing next to, it has a faceplate on it. As I continue close the writing becomes clear; it's an S.
"This is your room for tonight. When Master L chose you he insisted I prepare this room for you." He push the handle down and opens the door inward. It's dark but he steps in and flips the switch.
Woah…
The walls are red aside from one which is black. Accent wall, nice. I look up at the ceiling where glow in the dark stars have been placed on a black background. They seem to resemble the constellations. Other than the bed there is also two black sofa looking chairs and a small coffee table, it holds a fancy glass bowl filled with mini lollipops. Some of the walls have posters of abstract origin, but the one thing I notice is that they're placed perfectly.
"Holy shit…" My mind blanks and I'm left standing at the door.
From inside Watari clears his throat bringing my attention to him. He gestures for me to come in, butler style.
"Well go on and change, I'm sure that work uniform isn't comfortable. I'll be downstairs making some coffee. Would you like anything brought up?"
Still in a bit of awe I shake my head no and step into the room. Watari bows slightly and leaves closing the door behind him.
I drag my suitcase over to the bed, swinging it up and on the bed so I can unpack it. The comforter is mostly black with white and red bubbles, it seems to complement the walls nicely.
Someone really put a lot of thought into this place. Probably Watari, I can't see the great detective L seconding as a interior designer. I smile. Now that would be funny.
I unzip the old suitcase and flip open the top revealing my mess of belongings. I dig through it pulling out a grey tank top and some mens black lounge pants. My feet pulse reminding me that I still have these stupid heels on, so I bend down to take them off and push them under the bed slightly to keep them out of the way. Out of the corner of my eye I see a door and curiosity strikes.
I walk over, my feet grateful for their freedom. Opening it slowly I reach in and feel for a light switch, my fingers find one and as I flip it I'm in awe once again.
Holy master bathroom batman.
Light floods the entire room and it's about the size of my old bedroom. It has all black tiles, but there must be flecks of something in it because it sparkles like a galaxy. I walk toward the giant shower/tub and place a hand on its black frosted glass. I don't think anyone could see through this. Beneath my feet is a squishy black rug that matches the rest of the coverings in the room. I turn and look at the giant mirror above the dual sink and see in the reflection that there is a floor length mirror by the door. For the first time since work I can see my reflection. I look at the slightly disheveled young woman staring back at me. Early twenties, shoulder length self-cut light brown hair, blue eyes with bags that show how hard I've worked to get to where I am at so young. My shirt is wrinkled and my skirt has twisted slightly, most likely from the ride here. I sigh.
Why anyone that well known would pick a mess like me to work with I will never know. I'm not very impressive.
A knock at the door makes me jump, my hand covers my chest, my heart is racing from the startle.
Fuckin-A man…
I walk out of the giant bathroom and over to the door. That's gotta be Watari, he prolly brought some finger sandwiches or something. I open the door ready to see Watari, but my heart nearly stops and my breath catches in my throat.
"Hello Samn, I am L."
Well are you excited for more? I tried to think of the live action for the mansion. I haven't watched it in ages, but I always thought L would have a huge mansion cause he's like rich and Watari is rich, but keep reading it gets better.
