WELL! Fanfiction is being particularly annoying right now, and it is taking an awfully long time to publish this new chapter! DX
In other news, I just got my laptop back from a visit to the apple store with a broken charging port T_T and so i finally have a new chapter :D Thank you everyone so much for the reviews, and enjoy the new chapter :)
Sadie ran around like a mad woman after her testing. She had wasted so much time, and she hadn't even begun making dinner yet!
Near was sitting on the counter playing with toys silently as other kids were screaming and running around him. Sadie approached him and picked him up, a small, nervous looking smile on her face.
"Hey Near, ready for some dinner? I'm making some mac and cheese, since I started so late today…"
"Why were you in Watari's office?" Near asked, staring right into her eyes.
Sadie simply smiled, shrugging off his attempt at reading her expression, and looked away.
"It's nothing Near. Don't worry about it."
She looked over to the small television screen, noticing a small Japanese reporter in front of it. Below it read subtitles:
It seems that Kira has struck again ladies and gentlemen.
Sadie's heart pounded strangely, and she placed Near on the floor, completely distracted by the news report in front of her. Who is Kira?
Yet another three criminals have died due to heart attacks, each of them was convicted of sexual assault years prior.
Suddenly, the same "L" insignia as before appeared on the television, making Sadie's eyes nearly pop out of her skull.
Luckily, L, the greatest detective known to man, is on the case. L's true identity remains to be hidden, but rest assured, Kira will not terrorize the world for very much longer.
And with that the news report had ended, a commercial about some cleaning product coming on. Sadie stared at the screen for a while, before racing back to Watari's office, leaving Near to stare after her.
Just before Sadie burst through the door to confront Watari, she halted. She could hear the old man's voice speaking to someone, but she could not confirm who. The voice was low, and fairly monotone. It sounded so familiar…
Sadie gasped, realizing it was the same voice that came out of the computer as she was taking the test before!
"L, what makes you say such a ridiculous thing? There is absolutely no way that Sadie is Kira!"
Slowly, the young girl backed away from the door, completely in shock. For a moment, the whole room vibrated to the sound of her heart beat, and Sadie seemed to forget how to breath. Her…Kira? As in that vile person that just killed three people moments ago?
Sadie quickly pressed her ear against the door, eager to hear L's reasoning behind this accusation.
"Watari, please calm yourself, and remember that it is still very early in this investigation. I researched the most recent criminal deaths due to a heart attack, and the very first important criminal to die of this cause was living in England, which, of course, is where the Whammy House is located," L paused for a moment before continuing, "His name was Todd Williams, the very same man that murdered Sadie's parents when she was very young."
Sadie's eyes widened, and her heart nearly stopped. Although she did feel slight relief that that man would never, ever leave confinement, she had to admit that L was right. It was all so coincidental…
"L…although this evidence is very sound, how would Sadie ever receive the power to do such a thing? She is constantly working around the Whammy House, and she never-"
"Yes, I am aware, Watari, and I am sorry that she is currently my prime suspect. But she just seems too innocent to me-"
"No, L! I thought you were certain that Kira was in Japan!"
"It was merely an educated guess, Watari!" The computer boomed, instantly silencing the old man.
There was a moment, just a small lapse of silence, where Sadie was at a loss as to what to do. Should she…leave? Just upright take her already-packed things and walk out the door? But no, if she left, it would only confirm to L that she is Kira. Even though I'm not Sadie growled in her head.
Her head pounded and her eyebrows scrunched together in concentration. Slowly, steadily, she shook her head and turned away from the door, walking away silently. Her eyes looked distant as she passed Near, no even bothering to acknowledge his curious look. She moved all the way to her room, closing the door shut behind her.
Letting out a sigh, she let a small smirk grace her features. Well, she thought, your move, L.
Sorry about its lack-in-length, but i felt this was a appropriate time to stop :) R&R!
