The Two Detectives

Invitation

(BB's POV)

December 4, 2003

It was a chilly day when L approached me with the offer to help him in a new case that the ICPO needed help solving.

"We've both been studying these murders and I think that it'll be good for you to work with me on a case," L said as an explanation and took me to where we'd be using our computers to talk to the ICPO.

"Greetings to everyone at the ICPO. I am L. And this is B, an associate of mine," L said into the microphone.

"The difficulty of this case lies in is unprecedented scope. But, don't be confused, this is a horrific and unforgivable act of mass murder. Although it may seem to be impossible to find someone killing like this, it won't be; with your help," I said into the microphone.

"What B means, is that we request the help of the ICPO, that is to say, all countries agencies and their governments. Although, we will mostly be working in Japan," L says into the microphone and, on the screen, I saw a man with graying hair stand up at this comment.

"Why Japan in particular?" the man asked.

"'Why Japan?', you ask? Whether the murderer is an organization or an individual it is likely that they are Japanese or live in Japan. This is because, the first victim, Kurou Otoharada was murdered inside of Japan. Not to mention that his crime was only reported inside Japan," I replied.

"B is correct. That is why we need to arrange a broudcast that will be played in the Kanto region of Japan first. It will be stated that it is a worldwide broadcast. I will then reveal myself to the world," L said, and the computers were shut by Watari.

"Are you insane, L?! You're going to sacrifice yourself for a case?" I asked angrily.

"No. A criminal will replace me. I have already chosen which criminal. It will be Lind L. Tailor," L replied, soothing me.

"Alright. But if you die, I'm going to kill you," I said.

"That's not logical..." L mumbled.

"You know what I mean," I replied.

I was watching the television with L, waiting, when the broadcast started.

"We'd like to apologize for the interruption. As of now we're bringing you a live world wide broadcast from Interpol, ICPO. We now take you live to the ICPO," the announcer said and the picture switched to a live feed of Lind L. Tailor in a suit, sitying at a desk that had a name plate on it, displaying his name.

"I head up an International Police Task Force which includes all member nations. I am Lind L. Tailor, otherwise known as L. Criminals around the world are being murdered by a serial killer. I consider this crime to be the most atrocious act of murder in history. I will not rest until the person or persons responsible are brought to justice. Kira, I will hunt you down. I will find you. Kira, I've got a pretty good idea what your motivation might be, and I can guess what you hope to achieve. However, what you're doing right now is evil," Lind L. Tailor lied, and smiled.

It took almost one whoke minute before something happened.

Tailor was about to say something when he grabbed his chest and collapsed on the desk, dead...
