An 'N' appeared on the screen alerting everyone that Near was contacting us. Everyone gathered around Light's computer and watched the main screen hanging up in front of us.

   ' This should go exactly as planned with the anime. In three days they'll meet and this will all be over. '

   " L? "

   " Yes, this is L. What is it Near? "

   " I want to meet you. "

   " What? "

   " There is something I must show you pertaining to the Kira case. "

   " But...don't you suspect me of being Kira? Do you really think it's wise to reveal your face to me? "

   " That's true. I cannot show you unless I reveal my face. Furthermore, the very act of showing my face will prove something. And that will bring this case to a close. "

   " All right, fine. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner you realize you're wrong about me, the better. "

   " I'd like to lay out some ground rules for the meeting. "

   " We're willing to go along with whatever you want. "

I looked at Aizawa. He was watching the screens intently and I could tell what he was thinking. I grabbed his arm and nodded at him. He looked down at me and returned the gesture before we looked back at the screen. 

   " First, I wanna have all the investigators from both teams present. In other words, everyone who is chasing after Kira should be gathered together to take part in the meeting. This includes Y/n as well for obvious reasons. "

   " I understand. That's not a problem. "

   " As I've mentioned before, there are a total of four members in the SPK. That's including myself. All of us will be there. Besides our team, we'll also bring along Mr. Mogi, who's currently staying with us. AS for Miss Amane, she will be released right before we meet. She'll not be told where we're going. You can come and meet us once you confirm that she has been safely released. Is that acceptable? "

   " What do we do? " Matsuda asked.

They all looked at me and I only nodded agreeing to it. They turned back towards the screen. 

   " Okay, Near, I understand. I have a team of five investigators, including myself. Of course, Mogi's with you at the moment, so aside from me, there'll only be three people. Y/n will also travel with us that day to the meeting place. That way she can keep watch of the story and the details of the meeting. "

   " Very well. That's fine. Now, as for our meeting place..."

A picture of an old warehouse was pulled up onto our screen. It was the exact one we are supposed to meet. 

   " Daikoku Wharf. There's a warehouse on the outskirts of the southeast side that's been abandoned for some time. It's known as the Yellow Box. I've already taken the liberty of purchasing it. If this arrangement is fine with you and Y/n, then we'll use it. One more thing. This meeting cannot take place unless I have your word that someone will bring the notebook. " 

   " Huh? Wait, why the notebook? "

   " It's quite simple. If your entire team leaves HQ to meet me, then there'll be no one left behind to guard the notebook. I can promise you this. I will make no attempts to steal it. In fact, I won't even try to touch it. As long as Mr. Matsuda can confirm that it's the genuine notebook, I'm willing to place my faith in you and accept his word. "

   ' It should be Aizawa, not Matsuda. '

   " However I do insist that someone other than L hold on to it. My reasons for making that request should be fairly obvious to you. "

   " Right, I understand. But I'll be the one who decides who will hold onto it. Does that sound fair? "

   " Y/n, anything wrong so far? " Near asked me. 

I leaned towards the microphone and started speaking into it. The tension of the situation was starting to get to my head.

   " The location is perfect. It is the place we need to meet at but Matsuda should not be the one to confirm the notebook. It should be Aizawa that does this. "

   " Alright. Would you mind telling us the date on which this meeting should take place? "

   " I don't think telling you the date you meet on would hurt. Originally you met on the 28th. That's three days from now and you met at 1:00 PM. Both the SPK and the Task Force need to meet on this day at the warehouse you purchased. "

   " Alright, three days from now. "

Light clicked the button and turned off the speaker and the 'N' disappeared from the screen. Light seemed to focus on the screen and I turned around. I took a seat on a chair and brought out my phone. I saw Mello and Matt's number on my phone. Of course, they had different names on my phone but they were there. I clicked Mello's number and put the phone up to my ear. I walked out the door and walked down the hall so no one heard me. 

   " Hello? "

   " We need to talk. "
