M gasps in horror and nearly drops the phone. She quickly rushes to the door.
"Where are you going this late without a shirt on?" L stops her in her tracks, as he sat by the bright computer screen. M's cheeks go red as she forgot. She was exhausted and hadn't gotten any decent sleep lately, and forgot that she only had a bra on.
"L," She huffs, tears streaming down her face, "Skye's been struck by the murder."
L falls out of his chair as his eyes widen. "This only confirms it." L whispers to himself in terror.
He messily goes through his drawer to throw one of his signature white long-sleeved shirts at M. M stares at it oddly and puts it on. It was baggy on her, but that was of the least importance at this moment.
L meets M at the door. M stares at L. She hadn't expected L to come with her.
"I'm going to her house." L tells M as the exit the building. M grabs L's arm.
"L I don't want you getting killed either!" M shouts through tears, hugging him.
L pauses as if he forgot what he was going to say. L wraps his arms around her and kisses her on her head. "Don't worry, I won't be."
And with that, L drove off to Skye's house. M stood out in the cold, looking like a vagabond in L's baggy and worn shirt. She made her way to the car, and drove to the hospital.
In little to no time, she made her way up to the the room in which Skye was staying. As M opens the door, it reveals to Light frantically pacing and Skye asleep in the hospital bed.
"M!" Light exclaims, hugging her. M was taken off guard. "I thought you were Ryuzaki at first when I saw your sleeve. Regardless of that, I told them to call you because I knew you were close to her."
M raises her eyebrow. "And how did they know to call you? No offense, but you're not exactly close to Skye."
Light pauses and chuckles awkwardly. "Well, you see, Skye invited me over again after you and Ryuzaki had left. I was watching Bleach when she suddenly just fell- and I don't know what I'll do if she doesn't make it!" Light cries in his hands.
"Calm down there, Romeo. Your story seems a little too suspicious I'm afraid." M scoffs, unswayed by Light's "story."
Light widens his eyes. "No! Look, I know you and Ryuzaki suspect me, but how was I supposed to magically give her a heart attack? I would never do anything to hurt her."
"Oh I don't know, poison, maybe? I understand that I am being a little bit harsh but I'm forced to come to these conclusions. I'll push them asides for now." M regrets it, and grits her teeth.
Light smiles. "Thank you! I wish Ryuzaki was as smart as you are and realize that I'm innocent."
M falsely smiles and looks at Skye. M didn't "realize" that Light was innocent, infact she didn't even think he was innocent. M also deducted that the statement that Light used was one that somebody who wanted to sugarcoat someone would use. It all just didn't add up.
So, there M sat in the noisy hospital room with a possible murderer and the victim. The only question is, if Skye was first, who will be next? M's lack of sleep was going to drive her to insanity one of these days.
All suspicions M had were soon cleared by the maniacal Misa that entered the room.
