Detective's Angel | L Lawliet x angel reader

6.

Two weeks later and nothing happened. I kept on working at the Westminster Palace and exploring London. Watari visited me once asking how I was doing but besides that L did not contact me. I was getting worried. I knew very well that he could take care of himself, but after all I was his protector I needed to have at least some informations about him.

Luckily, Watari showed up today during my lunchbreak. ,,Good afternoon Miss L/n" ,,Watari! You know you can call me Y/n" I said with a genuine smile ,,How are you two doin'? Any news about the case?" ,,That is why I am here Miss y/n. L asked for your help in the next step, if you could and would be willing?" ,,Of course!" ,,Then if you could pay us a visit at 7 pm at this adress?" Watari asked while handing me a paper with the adress. ,,Yep, I'll be there!" ,,See you soon Miss y/n.

I had some time to get home before the meeting with L so I quickly changed from my usual work outfit to something simpler and more comfy. Meaning black top, jean-shorts and sneakers. I grabbed my purse on the way out and I was already driving to the destination in a minute.

I arrived 2 minutes later but meh, you could call it the queen's arrival.

This time it wasn't a hotel but in apartments. I pressed the button and the doorman let me in. The appartment was on the first floor meaning I didn't have to take the elevator. I pressed the ring button and Watari opened the door for me. ,,Hi guys!" I greeted them with a smile. ,,Sit" L commanded while pointing to the floor beside him.

I complied and looked at the laptop. It showed a map of the abandoned factory. ,,You enter here" L started explaining ,,Watari here. The stolen art is over here. There are about 15 members of this cult, nothing hard for you two. You have to go trough this hall, then enter the room on the left. At the other side is a vent which leads to the artefact room. Get there, call me and the rest is on me."

,,Sounds fun! When do we start?" ,,I believe we are going right now miss y/n" Watari replied. ,,I love working with ya. Simple orders, no delay, easily done. Let's go" I said while grabbing Watari and walking out of the door.

Watari stopped the van in front of my entrance and, while wishing me good luck, drove away. I opened the door right in front of me and quickly closed it. The hall was empty but I could hear voices coming from the inside of the building. ,,I'm in" Watari informed trough the ear-piece ,,Keep low and move. We don't need incopetent fools, just the stolen art" L replied. ,,Lovely talking to you" I rolled my eyes and carried on with the mission.

After a while I got to my next turn and entered a dark room which seemed like a ventilation room. Nobody was here so I continued when suddenly something caught my attention.

There in the corner! Something def moved there.

I silently walked towards the direction from where a dim white light shined. I turned round a machine and saw a lost soul of a young man looking straight at me. ,,Y/n, what's the cause of your delay?" ,,Nothing" I replid quietly completely ignoring L's annoyed voice. I could hear L complains but I ignored them and instead focused on the soul in front of me.

,,Help meee..." the soul quietly pleaded ,,Do you know what's keeping you here?" I asked careful not to scare the soul. The man turned around and led me to one of the ventilation machines while pointing at it. I carefully approached the machine. The soul did not move causing me to start feeling the effects of being in a presence of a soul - the temperature dropped a few degrees and I started to feel a bit scared and desperate. It wasn't that I would be scared, I just started to feel the soul's emotions.

I opened the lid and looked in. The machine had no bottom, or maybe had but I couldn't see it. Instead, I saw a super long vent. I focused on my vision and noticed a body stuck in the vent. ,,Is that you?" I looked back at the soul. The man nodded and his moves became more urgent. ,,Hey, hey. Calm down. I'll get you out just, wait a bit. K?" The man seemed to calm down a bit and pointed to the body. ,,I'm going" I said with a smile and looked back at the stuck body.

I pulled a rope out of my purse and attached it to another machine. ,,Do you know who did it?" I asked while tying the rope to my waist. The soul eagerly nodded and started to vibrate ,,Yo, man calm down really. You'll tell me after I get ya out." The soul nodded and I climbed into the vent.

The body wasn't that far down, so I quickly tied the other end of the rope around it and slowly sent it down. It worked just like a pulley. Once I was back at the entrance to the vent I climed out and started to pull the body up.

When I finally got him up I could see him better ,,Shame, you were a hot guy, man" I felt a bit pride in me from the soul. ,,So, now the man who caused it" I turned back to the soul ,,Can I?" The man nodded and extended his hand. I took it and was immediately transported to the soul's memories.

The memory

I was back at the factory but this time it looked like it was still functioning. The ventilation room was illuminated with heavy white light and, besides the constent whiring of the manchines, there was complete silence. I looked around and spotted the dead man, who was still alive at the time.

He seemed to be repairing one of the machine. Coincidentally, it was the same machine from which I pulled that poor man out of. There were sudden sounds od f someone stomping loudly in the hall and not so long after a man of the same age as the dead one walked in. ,,James, how many times do I have to tell you to stop throwing out the coke. Do you know how much it costs?!"

,,Look man" The dead man James replied ,,I'm sorry, but last time boss found out you blamed it on me and I don't want to have another unpaid day. Just hide it somewhere else" ,,How am I even supposed to do that?! You know my wife's a bitch. If she finds out than I'm dead?!" ,,Then just stop with it. You'll end up dead either way with your lifestyle." James answered and got back to repairing the machine.

,,You think it's Funny?!" ,,No, the opposite actually. I'm sorry for you and your wife. Honestly, you were such a nice guy before it Peter" James replied, not bothering to look at Peter. And that was his fatal mistake. Peter grabbed a screwdriver and stabbed James in the head with all his strenght. Peter looked around and after discovering that the machine has opened lid, threw James in.

,,Oh, I'm sorry. But honestly that Peter guy was such a dickhead" I commented and the soul agreed. ,,Well, case closed. I'll hunt the guy down and you can go. Ya free man. Enjoy your afterlife" I smiled at the soul and watched as it slowly disappear.

,,Y/N M(iddle)/N(if you have) L/N!" L screamed through the earpice ,,We are 3(!) minutes behind and Watari is already at his spot. Why are you still at the ventilation room!"  ,,Sorry... I'm coming. There was something urgent" ,,Well I sure hope it was. I have a meeting with all of the museum's directors and I have to be sure that we in fact do have the stolen artefacts. So move!"

Sheesh, can he chill?! If I'm at the wheel we can make it back under five mins.
