Cardiac Arrest (Ereri/Riren AU) (Death Note AU) (L!Levi x Kira!Eren) (COMPLETED)

One Step Closer

Author's Note:
So apparently Wattpad done did a goof and deleted all of Jex's work from this chapter and stupid me didn't realize it until today. Haha... I apologize for that. There's content in this chapter that needs to be read. I'll be more careful with Wattpad. Thankfully we're writing this book in Google Docs, otherwise we'd probably be screwed. If you could comment, vote, and share this chapter around, that'd be awesome. I feel bad that this happened cause multiple chapters after this one were already made public. As readers, if you notice the pattern isn't going Eren, Levi, Eren, please say so! It's probably a mistake on either Wattpad's or my end! Anywho, I hope you enjoy!

Levi

I paced the length of my hotel room, recently showered and scrubbed raw. I wore a towel over my shoulders, a white button up shirt, and loose black sweat pants.

Watari was currently cleaning the hotel room per my instruction. I refused to sit until they were finished, not wanting to inhibit my deductive abilities any more.

I stopped in front of my laptop. "It's being hacked." I noticed and a livestream popped up on screen. "The Titans." I sighed, recognizing the Female Titan as well as the red haired girl tied to the chair in front of her. "Isabel."

I watched intensely, knowing there was nothing I could do. I had refused the Titan's case, claiming that I didn't bother engaging with petty gangs who fancied themselves terrorists. Now I almost regretted my decision since Isabel and her boyfriend, Farlan had taken the case instead.

The two were smart, they had been raised with me and undergone the same intensive mental training I had. I was surprised they'd been brought down this easily.

I knew what was going to happen to Isabel. I listen to the ramblings of the Female Titan, apparently this was some sort of retaliation to a "new player" I had no doubt was Kira.

"You can't save her." Watari said, sensing the tension emanating from my being.

"I know." I growled.

"Chair's clean." They pointed to the chair in front of the table my laptop was currently sitting on.

I thanked them and sat, continuing to watch while Watari moved to the bedroom.

I watched them drag Farlan on screen. I watched them gut him like a fish in front of poor Izzy. I watched as they did the same to her and set the body on fire.

I watched it all but despite my anger, my disgust, my sadness, I couldn't get that one thought out of my mind.

If Kira punished criminals, why didn't they kill the Titans?

Leave it to me to only have a one track mind, my childhood friends were just killed, but all I could focus on was Kira.

I shrugged my shoulders, loosening them up. Mourning my friends wouldn't bring them back, neither would taking revenge. I needed to focus on the bigger threat. I had a job to do.

Perhaps Kira simply hadn't seen the broadcast?

No. It was on every device in the city, at least.

My phone laptop dinged with a voice chat request from the police department. I answered it. "Yes? Officer Smith?"

"That's Chief Smith to you, L. Did you see the livestream?"

"I did."

"And?"

"That's not the case I came here to work." I said, folding my legs. "It is curious, though, that Kira didn't kill the Titans."

Perhaps I'd been wrong about Kira's motives.

No, I'm not wrong. I know in my gut that Kira's motives are to punish criminals. They are painting themselves as a god, judging the sinful.
