Hey everyone,

I wrote this fic a couple of years ago and just recently decided to start publishing it in Wattpad. I hope you like it! Please, write a comment if you would. I really, really appreciate every comment so much.

August 1, 2004

L stared at the screen in front of him.

It showed a girl standing on the pavement. Just standing there, waiting, looking straight at the security camera, as if she knew she was being observed.

So, she came. I didn't think she would.

L gave a sigh.

The girl was wearing a loose pair of jeans, a blouse that left her shoulders bare, and a pair of sandals. Her red hair formed a halo around her face, even if she had tried to braid it on a french braid. Her skin was just as pale as L remembered, with a thousand freckles scattered on her nose and cheeks. There were no colors in the security camera footage, but even without them, L knew the eyes that kept staring back at him were green. The eyes of a cat.

There was a bag on the girl's shoulder, a bag large enough to hold some clothes and necessities for a weekend trip, but not much more. Still, L had a feeling that she had come for a longer than a weekend. Maybe the bag was small, because she had left in a hurry. In fact, the bag seemed new - like it hadn't been worn before. It was probably purchased from the airport, he deducted. So, she had been in a hurry when she left.

Watari shouldn't have called her. This will only make things more complicated.

L took the bowl that held sugarcubes, and began to pick them up one by one, add them to his tea one by one, counting them silently in his mind.

"...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen..."

A cup of tea couldn't hold much more than fifteen sugar cubes, but still he kept on adding them until they formed a small mountain and began to roll off, fall to the table. He hardly noticed. He had turned his eyes back at the girl.

"What's your name?"

"Felicity."

"No, your new name. The one they gave you here."

"It's Fay. But I don't like that name. It sucks."

L shook his head to the memory.

Felicity Penrose.

Fay.

What on earth was she here for? L had forgotten about his tea. It got cold in the cup, the sugar cubes melting slowly into a sticky goo, the wind made Fay's hair escape the braid and fly around her face.

"Aizawa-san." he said, not turning his eyes away from the screen.

"Yes?"

"It seems we have a visitor. Would you be as kind, as to escort her up here?"

Fay stood by the door.

It felt like her heart was trying to escape through her sternum, and her head was dizzy.

It had been only 20 hours since Watari had called her, and here she was, on the other side of the globe - still feeling the turbulence of the plane as a swaying in her head, the jet lag making her feel slightly out of place.
