L's POV
"Hello again, Ryuzaki." Light mumbled as he walked in.
"Hello." I replied.
The rest of the task force walked in. I froze when a girl walked in. She dressed similarly to a Shinigami. The shoulder parts of her shirt had fur spiking out, and chains hung from her neck and wrists.
"Who's that?" I asked, indicating the girl.
Light's father had the end of the chains that were linked to the girl in his hand.
"This is Haley Simons. She's an ex-convict, and she isn't fully allowed to leave the sight of the task force, so we had to bring her along. I hope you don't mind."
"I'd like to talk to her in one of the unsupervised rooms if you don't mind. I want to learn what she did for myself."
"Of course."
I took her chains from him and led her away. I closed the door to the room when she walked in. She looked around before she looked at me.
"You can see me?" She asked.
"Yes. Do they know what you actually look like?" I replied.
"No. To them, my human form is present. I am half-Shinigami. The ones who see my Shinigami form either know about them or have met them. Have you met one besides me?"
"No."
"No? I wonder why Ryuk is here."
"Ryuk?"
"My brother. He is a full Shinigami, so you can't see him unless you touch his Death Note. One of your men out there has it."
"Can you find out who it is?"
"No. I won't do any work for you while I am in chains."
"I'll talk to Yagami-San about the chains. Why don't you tell me about how you ended up in jail before?"
She looked behind herself to the table and two chairs. I walked over to one of the chairs, and she sat down in the one on the opposite side of the table.
"Why are you so interested in me, Ryuzaki?" She asked.
"I want to know what you could have done to be put in jail." I answered.
I lifted up the table and set the chain loops I had down. She yanked them away before I put the table down again.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to keep it where you hold my chains, not some inanimate object." She hissed.
She handed me the chain loops, and I took them. I stared at her for a minute.
Why is she so insisted on me holding the chains myself?
