The case of the Ghost Killer. Part 1

First Chapter of my Journal.

12:04 PM November 25 2013 

I am sitting in my desk with my hand holding my chin my thumb pressed to my bottom lip.

I look blankly at my screen waiting for a case of some interest to me. sadly all that displays on the screen is petty crime and dull mysteries. I drop cube after cube into the tea until it is properly sweetened and I take a small sip.   

My fingers touch the counter and skim the marble plane. I set down the glass cup on its place in the plate as I watch the words sprawl across my screen "KIRA IS BACK!". I smile and press the 'open message button' and analyse the screen.

 

"Hello L. My name is Koyuki Yamagata, I have uncanny proof that Kira is still alive and that he is after the public, if you would like to meet face go to 1230 nacuturo square at 1:20 PM."

 

I close the file and sit back in my chair bringing a Pocky stick to hang from my lips thinking, who is this Koyuki Yamagata? 1:20 is an odd time, she is meeting someone at 12:00 this is obvious because she has set our meeting time to an odd setting, she knows exactly how long it will take to get to the address from where she is meeting the person from before myself. my first guess would be Boyfriend or some sort of fiancée, but she knows the exact time she will be out of her meeting which then makes it obvious that it is business or convention. so I wonder which while I look up the address and search everywhere within walking distance, so I discover I was wrong for both, I see the NPA building exactly 12 minutes away which tells me she wants to get there before I do as to not give off the image that she was not in a previous location nor was in a hurry, she is smart and unrecognized, this means she has a keen detective eye but probably not correct about Her Kira theory, perhaps this Kira case is completely false and she is only using it to bring me out, this is at 13%, but it is a risk I simply can not take.  

 I glance at the clock, 12:42 PM. I call Amaya and she enters. "Yes Ryuzaki Kun?" she asks.

"I have plans Today at 1:20PM." I inform her. "I will be leaving at 12:50 and will Board the Subway at 1:55PM I shall arrive there at 1230 Nacuturo Square at 1:10PM. You can track my location with the belt. I shall shortly be met by Koyuki Yamagata at 1:12PM.(Sorry for all the time, I realize they might be hard follow) We will be discussing the case and I shall return within the next hour. Would you please prepare lunch upon my arrival that would be much appreciated." as I speak I place on my shoes and coat. I exit the facility and scanning both of my eyes, left then right, my left thumb and then speaking my code with a clear monotone voice as to not set off any triggers in my system. the reason my voice must maintain monotone is because if the scenario were to arise where I were to be kidnapped and the kidnappers were to require access the building then if my voice were shaky like it would be if I were being kidnapped then I would not be able to properly unlock the code, the door would open and we would step in, and the room would then scan the people who have entered, the kidnappers would not notice anything.

Scanners in the floor scan shoe size and scanners in the walls and ceiling scan height and body structure, if there is more than a 2 centimeter difference than my own or Amaya's then the system will open fire. as I step out I press the button to the door closing it tightly, I then tighten my coat around me and proceed to the train station. I walk past every passerby studying their lives, A doctor who has recently had a patient die on him and has lost his job having many years of study running down the drain, An ex veteran who has spent much time in battle leaving scars in his mind, he is returning from his Therapists to his sisters home, his sister has 3 shorts dogs. most likely collie judging by the fur on his trousers. I enter the train station, buy my ticket and board the train.

 

As I sit down I close my eyes and sounds come rushing thru entering my head flooding it with conversations of other train goers. A college student getting back from work heading to his afternoon classes listens to music and types away on his report, A nanny getting back from her 3rd house today tiredly chatting with a business worker who is wishing he was at home playing the new video game he recently purchased, two police officers walking across the train cars patrolling the subway for the second time today and one other noise... a soft humming of a mother whose husband has been away for some time at war, the crack in her reveals she knows where her husband is, she knows why he hasn't come back. the squeal of the train breaks and the motion of the train stopping brings me out of my trance, I steady myself as I stand. I step off the train and head towards the opening of the station along with the two police officers and the nanny. 

 

I walk towards the address as I try to block out the constant flow of information that never ceases, constantly nagging me to sort out every detail of the world around driving me mad, I arrive at the address and see its a café, I step inside and await this supposed Koyuki.

The tone and viewpoints of the character remind me very much of the actual L which I love about this. In the fifth paragraph or space that you used on the top line you spelled "through" as thru- not sure if that was intentional or not so just letting you know ;)
