Chapter 1: Going In For The Kill

Beyond Birthday's POV

After months of careful planning, I am finally ready to make my move. Today, I shall kill L Lawliet, and my mind will finally be at rest, knowing that I have beaten the notorious L!

Stepping out into the street, I took a scrap of paper from my pocket, memorizing the address written on it, before ripping it to pieces and throwing the remains in the trash. Exhaling, I continue down the street, reading the building numbers as I walk. To think I have lived so close to him for the past week, and now, today I will be victorious. It was all so weird to me. I look up and realize I'm at my destination. My heart pounding in my chest, I survey the area. Deciding that ill go in through one of the side windows, I make my way to the alley where it's located.

Taking a rock, I smash in the window, trying to be as silent as possible. Ha, as if it were possible to be silent while breaking a window. Once the window had been broken, I climbed in hastily and silently, ignoring the jabbing pain of glass in my sides. I quickly located the room where the security camera's controls were held, and knocked out the man that was operating them. Once the man was silent and on the ground, I disabled all of the security cameras on every floor between me and L.

Sprinting out the door, I ran as fast as my legs could take me, up 5 flights of stairs, towards the raven haired detective.

'Does he really need a 30 floor building as headquarters for this one case?!?'

Upon entering the hallway of the 5th floor, I heard the voices of Matt, Mello and Near. They were classmates of mine at Whammy's House, and they were brilliant, not to mention strong. I quickly ducked behind a vending machine, praying they did not hear me.

'Those must be L's new successors!!!'

I held my breath for as long as possible, standing as still as my body would allow, when they finally got in an elevator and left. I was home free! The other cops left hours ago so the only people here were L, Light Yagami and Misa Amane. Misa and Light were both in confinement so I would have no problem getting to L, unseen. L would die by my hand tonight.

"GET HIM! HE'S TRYING TO KILL L!!!"
