Your ___ colored eyes widened. He had figured so much out without your help, and he had done so much.... yet he had still made time to watch 'The Exorcist' and stay by your side. "

"What did the letter say and what was in the package?" you asked.

He placed his stack of tarot cards on the floor and flipped the top card before setting it aside. Near did this with two more cards before looking up at you.

"The letter was meant to be read specifically by L. As a summary, it said that L works way too slow and that more deaths than necessary are

taking place due to him. The letter also said that this had happened before, during

the Kira case," he told you and twirled a white strand

of hair as he studied the tarot cards.

Matsuda frowned and slowly sat down in the seat that Near had vacated only moments before.

"So this person is holding a grudge against L," he said thoughtfully. You carefully sat up with a wince, you held out a hand when Matsuda

went to help you with a shake of your head.

"So far nine people have been killed within a couple weeks: Joker Jail, Apple August, Rocket Rider, Pilot Pajama, Dee Dairy, Dixie Disney, Heaven Harbor, Vikke Valentine, and

Karma Kiss. Were any of the missing organs from the victims in the package that you received?" you asked and ran a hand through your messy hair. Near shook his head and

surviving offender profile. Bond's assessment was based on his own examination of the most extensively mutilated victim and the post mortem notes from the four previous

canonical murders.

He wrote: All five murders no doubt were committed by the same hand. In the first four the throats appear to have been cut from left to right, in the last case owing to the extensive mutilation it is impossible to say in what direction the fatal cut was made, but arterial blood was found on the wall in splashes close to where the woman's head must have been lying.

All the circumstances surrounding the murders lead me to form the opinion that the women must have been lying down when murdered and in every case the throat was first cut. Bond was strongly opposed to the idea that the murderer possessed any kind of scientific or anatomical knowledge, or even 'the technical knowledge of a butcher or horse

knowledge that a doctor would possess," Near said and motioned to the paper.

The paper he had handed over to you was the report that the surgeon had sent to the SPJ after examining all the bodies. Near remained silent
