Chapter One

My computer screen suddenly went blank. I had been researching something important on Kira and I hadn't saved anything. Damn stupid computer. I have to get a new one soon. Suddenly, a black L appeared on my now-white screen.

"Ayano-chan?" L asked.

"L!" I said in surprise. "What do you need?"

"How many times to I have to tell you to call me Ryuzaki?" He asked. I felt myself blush and I twisted some hair around my finger.

"Sorry. I'm just so used to calling you L." I said.

"Anyway, you've been a great help to me so far in the Kira case, but I think I need you more." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked cautiously.

"I mean we need to meet and work face-to-face." He said.

"Oh L...I mean, Ryuzaki, I don't know..." I said.

"Are you in a position where you can't make any sudden moves?" L asked.

"Me? No, no, I'm fine." I said. "It's just I'm not sure if..."

"If it's safe to come here? It'll be fine. I'll get you plane tickets for tomorrow to Tokyo and I'll send you a picture of Matsuda, who'll pick you up and take you to the headquarters." He said.

"...Alright. I'll do it for you." I said and sighed. I swear to God, I could hear his smile.

"Thank you, Ayano-chan. I'll see you tomorrow." The screen flickered and my data table popped back up again. I sighed in relief. No data was lost, but I couldn't finish it now. I needed to pack for Tokyo.
