Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[nokotchi]

Sakura shrugged. "Because you pulled me over earlier."

Matsuda hiccuped. "You nevver knoowww."

 

[.chasm.]

"You pulled me over when you were fighting Matt," L said, pulling himself up and onto his seat again.

"Yes, you do," Matt said. He let go of Matsuda's arm and walked towards the bar again.

 

[nokotchi]

"You've pulled me down more than just that time." Sakura told L, turning to look at her computer.

Matsuda staggered after Matt, a scowl on his face.

 

[nokotchi]

"You've pulled me down more than just that time." Sakura told L, turning to look at her computer.

Matsuda staggered after Matt, a scowl on his face.

 

[.chasm.]

"So have you," L said, ifting his thumb to his mouth and staring at the case file again. "Four murders...the same area..." he muttered to himself.

Matt jumped back up onto the barstool. "Matsuda, just go and talk to another girl. And you, Light."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura sighed and decided to leave L to work on the case.

Matsuda shook his head, plopping down on a stool.

Light looked over at Matt, tilting his head. "Huuuhhnn?"

 

[.chasm.]

"Is there any pictures from the scenes?" L asked suddenly, still staring at the screen intently.

"Go and talk to a girl," Matt said, giving Light a small push.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked over at L and nodded, turning to her laptop. "Yes, I believe so..." she muttered, pulling up a file. "Ah, here." She slid her laptop over to L, various pictures on the screens.

Light shook his head. "Bruuhhhh, I'm too druunkkk,"

 

[.chasm.]

L pulled the laptop closer and stared at the pictures, scrolling through them quickly. "I thought so..." he muttered to himself again, then he turned back to his own computer.

Matt groaned and hid his face in his hands. "Then go and find Mello."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura reached over and slid her computer back to it's position in front of her.

Light looked around the club for Mello, seeing him pressed up against a girl. "But, he's dancing with dat gurlll,"

 

[.chasm.]

"Tala, the first body was well hidden," L said, staring at the file. "The next three were left in the open for anyone to find. What would you say that means?" He turned to stare at her, looking for a reaction rather than an answer.

Matt glanced over at Mello, then rolled his eyes. "Oh, he jumped in straight after I walked away from that girl?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked over at L and tilted her head. "Why are you asking? You'd know better than I would."

Light laughed. "Well, once you leave it's fair game for him to steal her,"

 

[.chasm.]

"I just want to know what you think," L said, tilting his head to mirror Sakura.

"No it's not," Matt said, turning to frown at Light. "What if I was planning on going back?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked down, processing her thoughts. "I'd say the person whose body was hidden knew or had some sort of connection to the killer, whilst the other three had no connection whatsoever so the killer didn't feel they needed to hide them."

Light let out a snort. "Well, too bad. All's fair when it comes to clubbing."

 

[.chasm.]

L nodded. "We could go further than that, as well," he said quietly. "The first victim was the one they wanted to kill. The next three were cover-ups. The second only happened when the first body was found. They're getting even more desperate, trying to turn suspicion away from themselves."

Matt shrugged, pushing his empty glass up the bar. "Are you not leaving, then?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded, looking back up at L. "Yes," she looked downward again, deep in thought. "There also is the possibility that the killer hid the body that didn't have any connection to him, meanwhile putting the other three that they actually knew and wanted dead in obvious places to divert attention and make it so anyone who looks at this case comes up with the same conclusion you have."

Light also shrugged, groaning. "I want more shoottsssss,"

 

[.chasm.]

L nodded. "We can't rule out every possibility. It's rare that we deal with someone who's planned this out so far, though. The man seems to just be getting extremely scared." He tilted his head. "Because we can safely assume it's a man."

"Buy one and go, then," Matt said, hiding his face in his hand again. "If I have to drag you away, I will."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded, turning to her laptop and scrolling through the pictures.

Light scowled. "Why do you want me to leave so badlyyyy?

 

[.chasm.]

L was silent for a few minutes, then closed the file. "Tala?"

"Because I do, now go," Matt said, groaning again.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked over at L. "Yeah?"

Light pouted and stood, stomping over to where Matsuda was.
