Chapter 2 – An Address

Watari walked in the hotel room with a small trolley, that had three shelves with plate after plate after plate of different cakes and various other sweets. Ryuzaki noticed his presence but kept typing on his computer until the man was standing right next to him. He turned to inspect the selection and lifted off a plate with a piece of cake that had strawberries on top. He quite liked strawberries.

"It is time for me to go Ryuzaki. I will have everything set up in forty five minutes and I will contact you then." the older man said, looking down at the man who looked more like a child whilst eating the cake.

He nodded once and Watari walked to the closest where he had everything set up, and took it all out, putting the hat on his head, the full-length leather coat over his arm and holding the briefcase in his hand. He walked to the door and opened it, before giving Ryuzaki a small bow of goodbye and shut the door behind him.

The elevator was only over the other side of the hall and he pressed the button with the arrow pointing down and waited for the doors to open. He went to the level for the underground parking lot, and the elevator stopped a few times to let people on and off. He got in his car, started it up and was off.

It took him all of a little less than half an hour to drive to the appropriate building and went through the security check and the shocked security guard waved him through before he parked in yet another underground lot and made sure his face was completely covered before getting out and putting on the large leather coat and grabbing the briefcase before shutting the door and locking the black car and walked towards the elevator.

He was going to go to the first floor for the time being, so he pressed the appropriate button and waited a moment until the doors opened and a few heads turned to see who it was. Simultaneously, eyes widened and the place went quiet for a few whispers as more people turned to look at the man only known as 'Watari', the only person who could get in contact with the world's number one detective, L.

Most of the people were all dressed up in their police officer garb, and some were dressed in normal civilian clothing. A pretty blonde woman walked up to him, adjusted her glasses and the light reflected off them before she smiled happily at him.

"Right this way." she said and began to walk towards the back of the building.

She knocked on the door which had 'Chief Superintendent' written on it, and waited for the person inside to grant them entry before opening the door, and moving out of the way for him to step through first. The dark-skinned man sitting at the desk stood up in shock, and walked over to him.

"Thank you very much for coming. I didn't even expect a response this soon." he said as he bowed to the man. "I'm Chief Superintendent Hiroshi Ataru, and this is my Superintendent Kotone Fuyuko. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Watari smiled even though the man wouldn't be able to see it. "You may call me Watari. Where should I set up?" he asked simply and lifted the briefcase up to hold his other hand underneath it.

"Well, actually I'd recommend that you should go to the Sora Ops office. That is where the main investigation is running." the Chief said and scratched the back of his head, feeling a little awkward and nervous.

"Ah, I see." he replied while contemplating why the name 'Sora Ops' sounded so familiar.

"I'm going over there now, if you'd like to follow behind me." Hiroshi offered, since he knew that maybe not even Watari would know where it is right now.

"That would be fine." Watari answered kindly. He would have to ring Ryuzaki on the way and let him know.

As he was walking back to the car, which conveniently was parked only three spaces away from the Chief's, he tried to recall where he had heard the name 'Sora Ops' from. They sounded like some sort of specialised and secretive unit, of course, he couldn't help but think that maybe L had worked with them before.
