Saved From My Lonely Existence

Chapter 32

 Chapter 32

Walking back into the house after my -Visit- to HQ I found Aphrodite already in the computer room watching the television set up I had placed in here a few months prior to today. She was writing names down again. Diligent as I was beginning to believe she was. Though I couldn't say I was exactly happy that she had brought a chair from the living room into this room some how. She was resting in it with her legs hanging over an arm of the chair and leaning against the other arm writing in front of the small television. Sighing, I move over to the computer desk and light up the three screens. "Did you do it?" She finally questions as I hear her hop out of the chair and come over to me.

"Yes, with the security within The Task Force Headquarters, I couldn't establish an outside Hack. So I had to break into the security box and place my own bug inside it." I explained to her. Yes, that was the real reason why I was outside of HQ when Watari had noticed me. Luckily I had bought lunches and sweets for the members within those walls so I could cover up as to why I was really there. Bringing up the surveillances within HQ my heart about stopped when I came upon a set of taps that views my room. "He.... Never... removed them." I found myself breathing as my face felt like it was on fire. Did he watch us last night? I was so sure he had taken them down like he said because so far he has always upheld his word to me. So I had no hesitation in doing what I had wanted with Light. But now, I find he never removed the taps. He very easily could have watched... Seen everything.. Covering my face I ignore Aphrodite's confused sounds as to what was wrong. How did I let myself.. Trust him? I don't really trust anyone.. So why did I believe him when he said he would remove them for me?

Shaking my head I try and push that realization out of my mind, as I set the screens to record after pulling up the many cameras at ground zero of HQ. Then using L's own security to shadow his along with Watari's computers. "Aphrodite.." I spoke as I slid my chair away from the desk. "Yes?" She questions from my right hand side.

"Would you want to go shopping with me to pick up things for the apartment?"

"Oh, yea, sure thing." She speaks and I finally look towards her. Today she had the front of her hair pulled back with a large red bow in a way that her bangs still framed her face. A white tank top and what looked like a red crochet sweater over the top of it. Only big enough to cover her arms. Held closed by a single button near her neck. What through her look off though was the red mini skirt over the top of her bleached white blue jeans and the bulky red shoes. Seriously her taste in clothes was absolutely horrible.

"Aphrodite, I've been meaning to ask you a few questions." I caved as we were walking a cross town. The clunking of her bulky shoes echoing in my ears annoyingly.

"Sure cuz, I've been wondering when you'd finally ask me questions." She spoke cheerfully as she rushed up to my side. It seemed odd that she was taller then me and yet still has to try and keep up with me. Must be her awful shoes.

"Your outfits.. What's up with them?" I scrunch my nose as I speak signifying my distaste.

"Oh, well Mom don't believe in Ladies showing skin. I guess I just got used to covering up."

"What about your shoes?"

"These? Is there something wrong with them? They are totally my favorite pair." She was finally getting defensive so I decided to let that particular part of the topic drop.

"So, how did you find me?"

"And the real question finally comes out." She giggled causing me to stop walking and look at her. Real question? To be honest I was more curious about her clothes then how she actually found me but I kept that bit to myself. "Well you see when you didn't message your parents like usual on your birthday they and mine hurried to your home. I followed along you know. I've wanted to meet you for like ever. You were gone but traces of your energy was left. In fact, I was the one that found the signia of your energy at your lap top. It was still on the last episode of Death note you watched. So I let the adults trace your energy and it led right here." She spoke proudly before laughing. "Your dad wanted to hop right in and drag you out but it was Auntie that kept him from doing it. She said she'd rather you be here then in danger in our world and that if we brought you back you'd just go again. Just wait until they find out you did it by complete accident!" Shaking my head I closed my eyes. So fully awakened beings can trace remnants of energy. News to me.
