Chapter 10

It was exactly 12:30am when it happened. L was sitting behind his laptop in his hotel working on the case, though his mind was elsewhere, namely on the startling he received that week.

L had never thought of children as part of his life plan, in fact he never thought of family in general as part his life plan. The plan was always to continue being L for as long as possible before passing the role on to his successor and retiring to an old country house to live out the rest of his boring days but Light had just thrown a wrench into his plan.

A son

A son

L was still having some trouble wrapping his head around it, he had a 7 year old. Not that he'd ever get the chance to meet him, Light made that incredibly clear.

L was then snapped out of his thoughts as detective Johnson's phone rang and he answered it with "hello, Nate"

L couldn't hear most of the conversation after that but one thing he did hear was "ARE THOSE GUNSHOTS I'M HEARING?"

L instantly perked up as Johnson ordered a swat team to mobilise and he gave his own orders to Watari

"Follow them" the belted.

He then ran to down to the lobby of the hotel, jumping in his second car and wiring the tracking chip in his laptop to the cars satnav before slamming his foot down and racing through the streets.

According to his satnav Watari was currently speeding down the main road towards The Hague. L, vaguely predicting were they were heading, took a short cut and within a short period of time he had managed to catch up with Watari, speeding ahead after the swat team.

L was lead to a small unsuspecting town away from the hustle of the main city…where at least a dozen cop cars were crowding round a charming family house in the middle of the street…that was emanating gunshots.

The swat team wasted no time rushing into and if L was more focus he would probably say that was a bad move but he was running on pure adrenaline and was extremely worried about Light and by extension his son Near.

Near

The little boy who was currently covered in blood being carried out of the house by detective Johnson after an unconscious Light was carried into the nearest ambulance on a stretcher and the criminal was hauled into an armoured van.

5Near

His son, his little boy, his and Light's. It was only now that it was truly setting in.

He tried to force his body to move forward but he was paralysed with shock…and then he was approached by detective Johnson.

"What are you doing here?" he snapped "are you aware that this is a crime scene?"

L quickly scrambled to explain who he was but was easily cut off and told to stay away from his son. He didn't resist when the detective called over two officer to escort him of the premises instead leaving by himself to go find Watari who had park across the street.

Dejected he sunk into the back set as Watari said "where to, sir?"

Lit with a new flame of determination L answered "follow that car"

After taping his figures impatiently the whole journey they eventually arrived at the hospital, at which L didn't even wait for Watari to finish parking before rushing in and going straight to the front desks.

"I'm looking for Light Yagami" he said, breathing heavily.

The woman at the reception, probably in her late 40s smiled at him before checking her computer and saying "Mr. Yagami is currently in surgery, however, it is unlikely you will be able to see him when he gets out unless you are a family member" she explained kindly.

"I am his boyfriend" L lied "he doesn't have any other relatives besides our son"

"i see" she said, her lips pursed, eyes displaying sympathy "he is currently in operating theatre no.7, you can wait for him their if you wish"

"thank you very much" L said "can you point me in the right direction?"

After receiving the information he need from the receptionist he ran to the stairs deciding to put his physical fitness to good use rather that wait for the elevator which people were lining up for.

Although he was stopped by an angry nurse for running he made it to the operating theatre with lighting speed…where he witnessed several doctors operating on Light's hip and shoulder.

Staring through the window to the operating theatre he slumped onto the nearest chair, his body radiating with an uncharacteristic sense of defeat, he didn't even assume his usual sitting position.

"i thought I told you to stay away" and L looked up to see Daryl towering over him but before they could engage in conversation a doctor emerged from the operating theatre.

"is he going to be ok?" Daryl demanded.

"Mr. Yagami sustained two bullet shot wounds and consequently lost a lot of blood, however, we have removed the bullets and stitched up the wounds as well as given him a blood transfusion and he is now stable"

L let out a breath he didn't know he was holding as Daryl demanded more information, however, for once he was not concerned with the details.

"can we see him?" he asked hopefully, interrupting Daryl as he listed of questions like there was no tommorow.

The detective paused for a moment before both him and L looked at the doctor imploringly.

"of course" he said leading them both to a separate room where Light was lying motionlessly on the hospital bed.

Light had always been a strong person in L's eyes even when he was incarcerated he'd been stead fast in his cause to clear his name, and now looking back on it L should have believe him but that wasn't important right now as Near came rushing into the room, tearing streaming down in his face as he sobbed.

The boy was accompanied by young woman that L didn't recognise, however, it was obvious that she meant something to both Near and Daryl as the to of them hugged the young boy as he cried over the unmoving body of his father.

L almost called the doctor back in just to check that he was alive but Light's small steady breaths grounded him in relief as he stared awkwardly at the exchange until Daryl seemed to remember he was there.

"what are you still doing here?" he snapped voice low as to not alarm Near

…

But it was no good as the young boy turned around and asked "who are you?"
