The Detective's Triplets

Chapter 13

Ryunosuke fell through the threshold of the door, his face was stained with tear marks and the messages he received were fresh in his mind. It was his fault he should have not suggested leaving the safely of the triplet's house but no, he had to get Mika alone so he would be able to ask her out, she is so nice and happy, he wanted something happy and it ended up with her getting kidnapped and him becoming the number one most hated human in the eyes of his friends and probably the whole school.

The was a sudden knock at the door which startled Ryunosuke but he could already sense who was standing behind the door, he had an urge to not open the door but he knew that it would be the worse decision that he could make if he did not face her anytime soon, so here he was hand on the door handle about to bring in his impending doom. Ryunosuke took a breath before opening the door, a fist collided with his cheek, then a foot came into contact with his stomach which forced his body backwards. He felt his back crash into the bookcase which was in the hallway.

"Please Alexa let me explain" Ryunosuke begged as another fist collided with his face, Alexa grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him near her face.

"Start talking or I will kill you and no one will find your body" Alexa threatened then proceeded to drop Ryunosuke onto the floor.

Light was curled up into a small ball in the corner of the room, cheeks stained, clothes were a mess and he in generally looked like he had been through hell and back but Light did not care about his appearance for once the only thing he cared about was that his beautiful daughter was now being held hostage in some grubby building with a killer who at any point could slit her throat and end her life.

The images of Mika lying dead filled his mind which made the genius curl into himself, even more, he was going to lose his baby girl and there was nothing he could do because of it. It was all his fault, he was the reason that they were enrolled into his stupid school and he was the reason that his daughter became a target. It was all his fault.

L was not in a better condition to Light, after getting confirmation that he was indeed the father of three extremely talented triplets, the great detective's mind had shut down just like the old saying 'the lights are on but nobody is home'. Mello and Matt had tried everything to bring the two adults out of the bizarre trance that they seemed to be stuck in but there was no such luck, the two brilliant minds were currently lost in two completely different emotional states.

It was not long after Alexa had stormed out of their home that Near realised something had gone wrong and after looking at his phone had he found out what but unlike L or Light he had not shut down and he had not gone looking for the person responsible like Alexa had no Near pushed all emotions aside and headed towards headquarters to get to work locating his sister and he would succeed.

Near found his parents in the exact state he believed that he would find them in after all a situation like this would force Light to reveal the truth about who their other parent was which would have had a major effect on L. Near walked into the building which caused Matt and Mello to jump, they had expected one of the triplets to appear at some point but they full heartedly expected Alexa come raging war not the quiet boy who played with his toys and kept close to his sisters.

Near noticed that the elderly man was not present and quickly asked the two boys where he was and got an answer that Watari had found out about Light and L being in a relationship and was not happy with it. He was staying on his floor and refused to come down or talk to L. Watari was fully aware of Mika's disappearance but was not planning to help them until L saw sense about his relationship with the ex-Kira suspect.

Near headed towards the elevator without another word to his father's successors, if they were going to bring Light and L back into the real world then they were going to need everyone's help and this included Watari whether he like it or not.

"Watari" Near said through the door which was to the room that the elderly man was currently held up in.

"I know what you are going to say so you can save your breath I will not help until L sees reason" Watari snapped.

"And that will not happen if he is forever stuck in his mind so you better have plenty of food to eat in there, I know that you do not approve of L's relationship with my mother and you believe that he would be better without him but you might want to take into consideration that L is not a kid anymore and is able to make is own choices or that the person he did chose was not a dumb hoe who only wanted him for one thing which would distract him his cases" Near said in an emotionless voice.

"I know that but..." Watari was interrupted.

"No buts - we need your help you have been with L throughout all his cases meaning you know what to do, I do not care whether you carry on sulking but please hold that off until my sister is safe at home" Near demanded, there was a shuffling noice before the door opened to reveal the elderly man.

"Fine but we are going to need Miss Amane" Watari replied. Near gave him a nod before fishing his mobile out his pocket and pressed on Misa's number.

Mika sat dumbfounded, she wondered how Tarou was still so strong after all the terrible hardships he'd been through, he'd even mentioned one time how he tried to escape and the woman was going to beat him terribly but Ryunosuke took the punishment for him as he'd been there at the time. All she wanted to do at the minute was hug Tarou, the hours upon hours of loneliness had made him quiet and he was terribly anxious to express his emotions. Mika wanted this woman dead, no not a woman, a monster, she now completely understood everything Ryunosuke did, she wished there was a way he could have told them before but she knew even then he wouldn't risk it for his brother's life.

Mika bit her lip. Ryunosuke. If Alexa knew by now then she'd be more than pissed and she'd most likely punch him more than once. She knew her sister was only trying to protect her and she didn't know any of the new information, but her heart wished that Ryunosuke was alright, she sighed in that moment knowing she had the biggest crush on him.

There was a loud bang.

Mika looked to Tarou confused. "That was the big garage doors, she's gone out in her car, she'll probably be a while then. I'm hungry" the little kid confessed.

"Tarou, we're gonna use this time to try to escape" Mika said seriously to him.

His face showed mixes of hope and fear.

"Okay, turn back to back, see if you can untie my hands" Mika told him and Tarou started to fumble with the rope. At least 5 minutes passed before Mika's arms were free. She then untied her feet and untied Tarou's hands and feet.

Now the locked door. Tarou and Mika pondered ideas, it would be too heavy to force down and would take too long.

"Your hair" Tarou spoke

"Huh?" Mika looked at the little boy, confused it he was hallucinating from lack of food and water.

"Your hair grip. Maybe you can pick the lock" he explained.

"That's genius Tarou!" Mika shouted. She pulled out her hair clip and pushed it into the lock. Not long later the door soon clicked open to both their relief.

Before exiting Mika pulled Tarou into a hug, remembering she wanted to. They both then rushed down the hallways and found a door at the back unlocked.

"Follow me and hold my hand okay" she kneeled down caressing the boy's cheek. He nodded and gripped her hand tightly as they made their way to headquarters.
