Scattered

Part 5-1

I had absolutely no motivation to do this, but I had some kind of plot already ready. So here you go, imma eat more Thanksgiving pie and get fat <3

---------------------------------

The sun was shining bright and the clouds floated peacefully in the sky. The day was calm and everybody was minding their own business. Well, almost everybody.

"Looks like L got this idea before us..." Norman whispered with a small defeated tone hidden within his voice.

"Well what do you expect, he's the number one detective in this world." Ray shot back as he tried to keep his eye on the tall man moving quickly while hiding behind a wall. He'd been tracking Light for a while, but they only knew that when they went to track him themselves. 

Things weren't exactly going to plan. The trio found it hard to conceal their bodys in small spaces when it wasn't only one person hiding. They were in a city, not a forest, and certainly not the orphanage they knew so well. 

The guy that they were trailing who was also trailing Light was an FBI agent. They found that out earlier that day to see if he was important or just a stalker.

But they had to do something. Not only did they want to continue tracking Light, but they also wanted to join forces with the great detective L. Sometimes a library computer isn't enough to track a serial killer.

However this means that they needed to split up, and they hadn't prepared any communication devices. 

"Guys come on, we'll be way less suspicious if we just walk around like normal! We're kids and near shopping areas." Emma yelled as quietly as possible and the others silently nodded and backed away a bit. 

Once they were further out the stood around on the sidewalk, trying not to give anything away with their body language.

"Even if we do walk around like normal there's still three of us. If we show up in the same place as Light every single time, he's gonna know what we're doing. We just have to decide who is going to continue following that FBI guy and who is going to solve some cases." Norman concluded as everyone was quite for a while. 

'Emma could go, in fact, she's incredibly good at lying and making sure she isn't caught. On the other hand Ray was much better at planning ahead. He also has an amazing memory and analyzing skills. Both of them would be better at this than me. I prefer to head in with a plan, especially when dealing with an abnormal mass murderer.' Before Norman could think more about the situation Emma piped in with an all too familiar look of determination.

"I think Ray should do it. He blends in the most out of us and he is willing to do anything to make sure we get more information." Ray looked a little shocked at Emma's small outburst but quickly composed himself and nodded in agreement. 

"Alright then, good luck, Ray." Norman smiled at Ray as he scoffed slightly, mumbling about how both Norman and Emma we're too nice for sending him to a psychopath.

Ray looked back to where the FBI agent had previously stood only to find him gone. Of course it was obvious he would be ahead, Ray had been talking with the others for a while. How ever it was annoying that Ray would have to go find him again.

A few blocks ahead Ray could see Light walking to a bus with a girl basically hanging on his arm like leech. It was that thing above them that made him put his guard up, reaching for a bow that he no longer had.

It looked like one of the demons he'd seen at the gate, but it was much smaller, and had wings. Looking away to compose himself he tried to focus on the 'mission' deciding it was best to question the winged creature later.
