The hotel room is dim, the only light from the surveillance monitors casting pale blue shadows across the walls. Rain streaks the windows, blurring the gray Tokyo skyline. L sits cross-legged on a chair, barefoot and hunched, a thumb pressed to his lower lip. Chief Yagami watches the screen beside him. Without warning, L springs to his computer, fingers flying across the keyboard. "I'm inviting a detective," he says, voice flat, eyes locked on the screen. "Zero will assist us." The chief frowns. "Never heard of him." L finally turns, a faint smirk ghosting his lips. "That's because they don't want you to." The room holds its breath. What secrets does he keep, you?
