Ch. 15 A Piece of Heaven In Hell


This wake up call happened every day for two months until L was called away on business. Before he left a message was written on his bedroom wall. 'I will never let you forget...'

L stared at it before he grabbed his bags and left locking his bedroom door and meeting Watari in the foyer. Beyond smirked at L as he passed room 13. "Have a nice trip Lawli."

L stopped in his tracks and pulled B into a deep kiss. "Business trips are always fun." He said sourly, his forehand against his. "Oh yes and when you return I will be sure to welcome you." He pulled away and shut the door. L smiled and grabbed his bags and made it to the foyer where Watari was waiting.

Watari briefed him on the flight about their case. It seemed that there was a Madam in Moscow that was running a prostitution ring and was planning to blackmail some high officials.

"So she plans on blackmailing the officials with prostitutes?" L asked wanted to know exactly what they were dealing with. "What kind of prostitution ring is it?"

"Child prostitution. It seems that a few political officials have been in the company of one of her best girls." Watari placed down a picture of a blond girl that looked now older than six. She had ice blue/green eyes, her hair was down to her chin and milk pale skin. He placed down a few other photos of older women ranging from 18 to 27. "It seems this young lady is her best out of all of them. She goes by the name Angel."

He nodded. "We need to shut this harem down. Is this the only child there?" He asked looking up at Watari. "Yes sir." The image of Angel stared at L with a flirtatious smile.

"We shall bring her back to Wammy's and care for her." L paused, "She probably doesn’t have any parents or relatives to care for her."

"Excuse me? Are you sure she is of the proper intellect for Wammy's house. The girl may be young but Wammy's house only allows those who show potential."

"The girl is the only one with evidence that the Madam can use to blackmail officials. The Madam is not blackmailing the other girls’ clients. That means that the girl must be smart or cunning. If she doesn’t measure up when we get there, then we can just find her a nice safe place in Moscow." He explained in a monotone as he looked over the files.

"Yes sir." When they arrived, Watari set up a hotel room for them and he followed L up to the penthouse suite. "L, you didn't eat any of the food Hannah made for you. Are you unwell?"

"No. I just wasn’t hungry then. I might order some room service though." He said as he climbed onto the desk and started typing on his laptop.

"You should get some rest L."

"I will in a bit." He told Watari as he shut his laptop down, went over, and order room service. "Watari can you get that when it comes up I’m going to go lay down."

"Yes sir." The old man was looking over the files in hand.

"Thank you." He crawled up into the bed and curled up.

Out on the streets wrapped in a small black dress, a pretty little blond was walking to the hotel with a gentle man client. The blond brushed hair away from her face as she moved closer for warmth.

The dark headed detective fell asleep, waking an hour later, still no room service. Lovely. "Watari, I’m going to go to the front desk is see what taking so long."

"You had a very large order and the hotel staff here isn't use to it."

"I'll go check on it, just to see if I can help at all." L got off the bed and walked to the door, his back hunched.

"Please be careful sir."

"I always am." He said as he left the hotel room and walked down the hall to the elevator. He pressed the button and waited.

When the doors opened there in the elevator stood an older man about 43 and the young girl from the picture, Angel. The young girl looked at L with eyes that held something that had only been seen in one other person. They held defiance, cunning, darkness. Only one other person had eyes like those. However, deep down they had something else, pure innocence untainted by this world.

L stood there frozen. "Excuse me? How much did you pay for her?" He asked the man. "I went to the Madam earlier today, but she told me she was sold for the night."

The gentleman blink not understanding L but the girl smirked and brushed her hair back. She spoke perfect English to him. "We don't know what you are talking about. Papa and I are here as guests." The voice was soft and honeyed. It slid over the flesh like silk and warmed the skin. She pulled the man along with her away from the teenager.

L smirked. "?????? ????? ??? ?????."(1) He said as he walked into the elevator watching the girl with a smirk.

She brushed back her hair and began whispering to the gentleman with her. She was reassuring him that everything was fine.

After L had talked with the staff about his food and had gotten reassured that it was on the way he went back to the Penthouse. "Watari. She is Wammy material. She speaks fluent English and also just the way her mind worked. I passed her in the hallway. We will have to go to the Madam first thing in the morning."

"Slow down L. What are you talking about?"

"When I went down to the front office, I passed the girl Angel on my way to the elevator. I said something in English and she answered me in fluent English and talked circles around me. She is Wammy material. We have to go to the Madam tomorrow." He said as he climbed back into his desk chair and opened his laptop.

"Of course L but it is the Madam we are trying to shut down."

"I know, but I want to take her greatest weapon away first." He said as he typed feverishly.

Watari never claimed to understand his young charge. "Of course L."

L nodded and worked on his laptop way into the night.

(1) Good evening to you both. (Russian)
