Reilee pov:

*one day after the incident*
/
I woke up in the hospital. My favourite classmate was there, looking at me sadly. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you Reilee..." she spoke quietly.

She's always been very antisocial and self kept. But... I always wanted to be her friend.

"I have a secret to tell you... if you promise never to tell anyone... or ever write it in your diary..." she said looking at me intently.

"If you tell me your secret, then... I'll tell you mine." I told her.

"Well... you see..." she began. "It's difficult to explain..." she offered a small smile. "But... I took an interest in mystery's a little bit over a year ago and... half a year ago I got a detective certificate online..." she told me.

My eyes widened with each word.

"I found the back door to the police files by accident actually... and started to communicate with them, aiding in investigations... Anonymously." She told me.

"You see... I have also been holding back in class... and... Well... I knew that you may face some danger... which is why I... why I resolved to solve this case before you got involved..." she told me.

"I-" I cut her off by hugging her. "Please! Be my friend!" I told her.

"I've never had a... friend... so you'll be my first." She mumbled to me.

"Now hay, it's my turn to tell you my secret. My mum is a police officer and my dad was an inventor... he passed away last year in a car accident." I explained to her.

"Maybe... Maybe we could work together! My dad taught me all about his inventions and I can even make some myself! It'll be a great help in your job!" I whisper yelled while still hugging her.

She was tense, but then seemed to relax. "Reilee... Okay then! You can be my partner in solving crime!" She pulled back, and for the first time, I saw her truly smile.

I giggled smiling back at her. Finally, we were friends.

L: pov

*six weeks after the incident and two days*

Watari and I arrived in Australia. We decided to challenge this new detective to see how he reacts.

By solving a famous case in Australia before they do.

Watari set a slice of strawberry short cake in front of me with sugar cubes and coffee. "Thank you Watari." I nodded to him.

Given the duration of time between solving or contributing to cases... It's fair to say that they ether live in or near Perth.

Y pov

*same time*

I sighed to myself. I was in a tree house in Reilee's backyard, it took two weeks of asking, my mother didn't want me to cause any trouble, but eventually agreed.

I had invited Reilee over many times to show my mum that she is a good person and my friend.

Reilee has a bunk bed, so getting permission to stay over from her mum wasn't too hard, it was the getting permission from mine.

Over the past two days mum has been acting weirdly and letting me stay here instead... I hope its nothing... but I can't help but to worry for the worst.

Yesterday mum told me not to come home today, at all. She looked distressed...

"GIRLS!!! Come down here!!" Miss Yuuki called with a slight strain to her voice.

Reilee and I looked to each other and gained serious expressions before nodding and climbing out of the tree house.

The news was on.

"News just in, a family of five have just been murdered in a break in situation, the mother died of a heart attack before being stabbed,
Oh, it seems I have some wrong information, one of the children of the family may still be alive! Her body is missing from the sight!

Here is a picture of what she looks like."

My most recent picture was shown on the screen. My fist clenched.

Reilee gasped.

"So, s-so... th-that means..?" She stammered in shock. I nodded solemnly.

"My family..." I murmured. "Have been... they... died." I mumbled sadly.

I then looked to Reilee's mum. "Could I please use the phone?" I inquired.

She hesitantly nod. I dialled 000 and asked for the local police...

"Hello?" A policeman asked.

"Yes, hello, I just saw the news, and my own picture came up. I just wanted to make absolutely certain that there has been no mistake." I asked for verification.

"Hang on a second... are you-----?" He asked.

My frown deepened. "It would seem my logic was correct... even if I wanted to be wrong... Well in any case, expect to see me at the police station in the next hour and a half." I informed him.

"Wai-" I hang up.

"Miss Yuuki, given the situation, I ask that you take me to your work, I apologize for any inconvenience I might Have caused." I fretted slightly.

She gave me a sympathetic smile. "I know you hate attention, and this situation isn't your fault... I'll take you down after I've gotten ready. Reilee, would you like to come with to comfort her?" She assured.

"Yes!" Reilee responded ready to help in any way.

I took out sixteen sheets of A4 paper from my bag and put them in a folder from school, I then grabbed my glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton.

I looked up at miss Yuuki and nodded solemnly.

"Let's go..." I murmured.

We all got in the car, Reilee and I in the back so she could comfort me.

Reilee, passed me her laptop invention. I hacked into the police database and solved my own case quickly, I then put the send on a delay loop so it would arrive ten minutes after I got there and the culprit could be caught.

L pov:

I stared at the news as the announcement was made.

A child was Orphaned by a murderer.

When they showed the picture of the girl, she was wearing a school uniforms a size too big and had a sad expression in her eyes.

However, I noticed something that others would have over looked, a spark of intelligence.

'She seems a little bit young to be playing detective... but something tells me I'm not wrong to look into it a bit closer.' I thought to myself in my usual crouched sitting position.

"Watari, could you please bring me all the information files concerning her?" I asked him as I pointed at the screen.

"Of course Ryuzaki." He answered.

Reilee pov:

As we arrived at the station, I looked to my best friend, "hay... Maybe I could talk mum into adopting you..?" I tried to lighten the heavy atmosphere.

She turned to me and gave a strained smile. "Perhaps..." She mumbled depressingly.

I sighed.

I then heard a rattle. I lifted my head to see her undoing her seat belt, and quickly did so myself.

We entered the police station.

Y pov

I sighed as I looked at Reilee. We sat down and the police instantly went into film-questioning mode.

P.O. (police officer)-"so where were you when you're family..." he trailed off.

Me-"I was having a sleep over with Officer Yuuki's daughter Reilee at their house." Blank.

O.p.-"how did you find out and what time?" Concerned.

Me-"the news, channel nine. And do you really think that someone who lost their family would have the emotional strength to check the time? All I know is that it was after 3:00 and before 3:15." I answered honestly.

P.O.-"right..." he nodded, "just one more question. Do you have anyone willing to look after you?" Worried.

Me-"I'll ask Miss Yuuki, my uncle is in the hospital with cancer and my other relatives are all criminal's or don't like children." I explained.

P.O.-"that's okay." He nodded.

I opened my file of paper some time into the questioning, and had just finished the second page of tearing into squares.

My signature criss cross sitting position with a juice box to drink. I looked at the clock.

'21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.' I counted down.

Then an officer that looked like he was from the I.T. lab came rushing in.

"Sir! A message from Y!!!" He exclaimed.

He shoved him the computer. I had written and sent that through time delay on purpose, I wanted to see what they thought about me...

"We also got contacted by L!!!" He announced.

My eyes widened. I heard about L, three weeks after I started to go by my end initial. He is in fact the world's greatest detective!

But... there's no way a small out of the way case could have reached his ears so early on... unless...

Unless he's in Australia, Western Australia, right now!

_______________

A/N.

I wanted to ask what you guys think Y's true name is.

Heads up I still haven't decided, so this is your chance to suggest.

The only condition is her name has to have recurring ending with Y.
