Beyond Birthday checked his reflection in a jagged mirror fragment. The mirror itself was in various pieces scattered over the floor. Beyond hadn't shattered it in a fit of rage, he just didn't like the stupid thing. He'd bought it from a secondhand store to help him fix his make-up and hadn't realised how awful it would look on his wall.
It had been three weeks since his last meeting with L, and he had killed five more women in London, leaving them in various states but with each one having her vital organs removed and stored safely in the fridge. He was sure that Big Bad Kira had noticed him by now, but had L?
He'd hidden the phone L had given him in the lining of the backseat of a car belonging to a local couple while he was away, to be sure that L perceived him as still being in Japan. He'd reprocured his phone the night before, slightly mollified by the missed call display. L must have attempted to contact him at some point, too bad B wasn't there to pick up the call. Never mind, he was here now. He called L, and waited.

L saw the caller display shine brightly in his smattering of cells. He briefly entertained the idea of letting the voice mail take it, since Beyond couldn't be bothered to take his call earlier in the week, but decided against it. I was time to reel the bastard in, particularly since he had reason to suspect his...friend (and he thought this with the greatest disdain)...had ditched the phone and left Japan.
Letting it ring once more, L pressed the 'accept' button and pinch the plastic phone to his ear.
"Hello, Beyond."

"Hey. How're you doing?" he asked in a phoney cheerful voice.

"I'm fine, thanks," L replied, wanting to get the pleasantries out of the way. "Why are you calling me now?"

"I missed you." he answered, sounding offended that the question even needed to be asked.

"If you missed me, then maybe you should've picked up when I called you last," L deadpanned.

"I was otherwise engaged." he shrugged "I'm calling you now."

"Otherwise engaged? Do tell."

"I might have been on a date."

L rolled his eyes at the blatant lie. "Mmhmm, a date, I see. And where are you now?" L asked needlessly. The screen in front of him showed the cell phone's location.

"A floor. Why, worried about me?"

"You could say that," L replid. "We need to meet."

"I agree. Where?" He glanced around the room. It wasn't exactly fit for guests.

"The place we met last time, it should still be available," L stated.

"Okay. I'll come right now?"
