"It sounds like this is someone in the culprits inner circle who wants to speak up but is too scared to. Hence the alias..." L muttered, reading the message over again.

He jumped when he heard you frantically knocking on his door, he was about to get some sleep for once in his life as well. He was in his coffin bed and everything. But this was more important than sleep at the moment.

"I mean it could be a prank but the exact day and time they gave makes me think otherwise" you replied.

"Me too... I think it's real. And V..? I don't know any V names here. Unless it's just a random letter. Oorrr... maybe it's a reference?" L pondered.

"A reference? To what?"

"V for vendetta. It's a story about vigilante justice. A masked guy plots to blow up parliament on Guy Fawkes day"

Oh that's right! You hadn't really seen it properly, just in passing on TV. But it was pretty famous and lots of people knew it even if they hadn't seen it.

"Oh yeah! remember, remember the 5th of November?" You asked.

"That's the one. Also that's the day I died but that's another story"

Although you were curious you knew death was a touchy subject for some of the undead people, so you didn't ask. Plus, the mysterious message was more important right now.

"Should we go to the sport fair? You asked.

"We should, I was going to go anyway because Matt and Mello are playing in it. Nears handling the club for the day" L replied.

"Oh yeah it's in the day... will you be good out in the sun?"

"I've got a wide parasol and SPF 5000 sunscreen. As long as I stay in the shade I'll be fine. I suppose we just... show up and keep an eye out"

L looked like he was conflicted. There was something else on his mind clearly.

"You seem to know something else" you said.

"I might be reading too deep into it, but it's strange that it's the 5th of November. It could just be a coincidence because the sport fair is a good time to strike. It could be a reference to the Guy Fawkes plot, hence why the messenger chose to reference V... also it rubs the the wrong way that something clearly bad is going to happen on my death date" L rambled.

It may just be a coincidence, but if it wasn't it could be a major hint. All you could do was wait for the sport day to roll around and see what happens. All week you were anxiously waiting, unsure what to expect. When the day finally came you and L set up a place to sit under the shade of the trees on the field, close enough to the casket-ball courts to watch Matt and Mello play but positioned so you could still see the whole field.

All you could do was watch, sit and watch. Sipping your slushies, snacking on the scream-cheese bagels the school had provided for lunch. L had the clubs camera for both pictures of the sport events for the paper and any potential evidence, his sunglasses were shaped like bat wings, he looked pretty cool with them in hall honestly.

Not liking the scratchy grass you were floating just above it, looking around the field for anything suspicious.

The whistle on the casket ball court blew, stopping the game for lunch. Monster high was winning so far, the other schools put up a good fight but they weren't good enough. The team and fear leaders all split off to either get their own lunch or head to the food tent to get what the school was providing.

Matt and Mello ran over to the two of you, skidding to a stop and tumbling into the grass beside you.

"We are wiping the FLOOR with them" Mello said.
