Chapter 12 | sneaking

A knock on your dorm door almost made you jump out of your skin, you were just about ready for bed, already in your pyjamas and we're just about to turn off all your devices to go to sleep. But the knock stopped you mid night routine, thinking maybe it was a staff member doing checks to make sure everyone was accounted for, you opened the door.

It was L, he slipped in and closed the door behind him. He wasn't meant to be wandering the halls past lights out but here he was.

"What are you doing up so late?" You asked.

"I can't stop thinking about the tip Frankie gave us. I wanna check out the area down the side of the school but there's no way I can get in there with out making noise. You can float so can you get us over the fence?" L said.

You blinked, taking everything in for a moment. He wanted to go out past lights out WHILE there was a killer on the loose? He was crazy.

"L you're insane" you said.

"I'm not my foster dad had me tested, I just don't have impulse control" L replied.

You shook your head. That son of a bitch, you were in. You wanted to know the answers as much as he did.

"Fine, we can't get caught though or we'll be stuck in detention for the rest of the year. And we have to be careful" you agreed.

"Don't worry, I know a way there" he replied.

I'm order to not be caught sneaking through the halls by the staff or nocturnal students, you phased through the wall and L climbed out the window to the area outside the dorms. It seemed like he was trying to sleep when the impulse to know answers took over him, because he looked tireder than usual and wore a matching pyjama set. Silky and in dark blue with panda slippers. Not the spooky thing you'd expect from a vampire, but cute nonetheless.

He was just cute in general though.

"I hope you know where we're going" you said.

"I do, I've used this route to avoid Light in the halls before" he replied.

You both ducked under the open windows as you walked down the side of the school, approaching the fences off trash area. It was dark, but L being a vampire could see well in the darkness. You had a decent amount of light from the moon that gave you the general idea of the area.

"Ok so that's the emergency exit, right in view of the fence" L muttered.

There was a sizeable gap under the door, plenty for Frankie to have seen the shoes of the suspects from. And it was in line with the fence perfectly, this was definitely the spot. Needing to get over the fence, without making any noise you picked L up to float him over putting him on the ground gently on the other side.

"Hang on, can't you turn into a bat?" You asked.

"Nope" he replied.

"You can't? You're the only vampire I know who can't"

"I think it's because I was born human, I've just never been able to master it"

L approached the secondary fence that marked off the woods, looking around for anything that could be of use. A footprint, a rip of fabric, a dropped belonging, anything.

"Would the cops have searched this area?" You asked.

"Maybe, but this isn't where the body was found so maybe they just skimmed it over" L replied.

The area was mainly boxes stacked by the dumpster and other bins, a few loose empty cans students threw over the fence to try and make it into one of the bins. You weren't about to go digging through the trash for anything, you doubted the culprits would be dumb enough to dump evidence somewhere the cops could search anyway.
